"Hey! I'm doing this for you, you know. I wouldn't do it for anyone else," Kenny grumbled."If that's the case, I should thank you. Here, I'll—"But before Caroline could finish her sentence, she received a text message. She glanced at it and saw that it was from Casey, who was asking her out for dinner tonight.Caroline couldn't help but smirk to herself. 'Is he feeling better or in a hurry to strategize on how to deal with Evan?'Noticing Caroline's strange expression, Kenny asked, "What's bothering you, G? Why do you look displeased?"Caroline put her phone away. "Oh, it's nothing, just some work stuff. Can I order dinner for you tonight?"Kenny nodded. "Sure, have it delivered to the house, and don't forget the kids. Go ahead if you have work to do. I still have some briefings to complete here."Caroline replied, "Alright, see you tonight.""Sure."After leaving the factory, Caroline sat in her car. She took out her phone to respond to Casey's text message.Caroline: [I d
Tyler halted his steps. "What's wrong?"Liora glanced at Caroline before hurriedly leading Tyler back to the bedroom and shutting the door."Have you noticed something strange about Axel, Ty?" Liora asked.Tyler had noticed it, too."Axel looked awfully thin and seemed exhausted when I played with him last night," Tyler remarked, his brow furrowing.Liora nodded. "Exactly! I think Axel might be sick.""Don't jump to conclusions. It could be because he's struggling with the constant changes in his living situation," Tyler scolded."What should we do then?" Liora blinked anxiously. "Oh, I know! Do you think we can talk to scumbag Daddy about it?"Tyler asked, "How do you plan to approach him?""We'll send him a text asking if we can take care of Axel!" "Do you think it's that simple?""Just ask! I want Axel to come back because it's painful to see him wasting away." Liora was sad. "Axel must be so lonely."Tyler couldn't bear to see tears welling up in Liora's eyes. He wiped
Caroline quickly grabbed her bag and left the bedroom. She walked past her children's room, paused, and knocked on their door. Liora opened the door shortly after, her eyes lighting up when she saw Caroline dressed up. "Mommy, you look so pretty! You should wear dresses more often! You look amazing!" Liora exclaimed.Tyler snickered. "You're such a suck-up."Liora glared at Tyler. "Stop it! I don't like you!"Caroline smiled. "Thank you, Lia. I'm heading out. Be good. Uncle Kenny will be back soon."Liora smiled back. "Don't worry, Mommy. I know what you're up to. Tyler and I will behave."Caroline was surprised. "Have you become more observant, Lia?"Liora playfully pushed Caroline. "Go, Mommy. And remember to find more daddies for Tyler and me!""Sure, sure. I'm leaving now. Take care of your sister, Ty.""Okay." Tyler waved at Caroline alongside Liora.-At Xander Residence.Daniella received news that Casey had been discharged from the hospital. She immediately calle
Casey asked, "Are you sure?"Caroline smiled. "Who do you think he is? He didn't even react when your father attacked me. Do you really believe he'll come just because we're having dinner?"Casey grinned, saying, "Alright, I'll bet that he's coming."Caroline remarked, "You sound confident."Taking a sip of his drink, Casey added, "Isn't it clear that he despises me?"Caroline scoffed. "You're right. No one can stand seeing their mother suffer like that."Casey smiled in frustration and said, "It seems you still have some misconceptions about me."Caroline replied, "It's normal for people to think that way. I can't pretend to be something I'm not."Casey appeared briefly shocked.Caroline noticed and said, "You don't seem to trust me much either. I took this matter seriously for nothing!"Caroline stood up to open the door.Casey, in pain, limped over and grabbed Caroline's wrist. "Ms. Shenton, you're impatient, aren't you? That's not what I meant."Caroline glanced at Case
Evan was just about to look when he saw a waitress open the door to a private room carrying a serving tray. Caroline and Casey were sitting inside!Evan approached with a stern expression, and Reuben quickly cautioned, "Don't get yourself hurt because of these people, Mr. Jordan!"He opened the door that the waitress had just closed.As he entered the private room, Caroline and Casey turned their attention to him.Caroline looked slightly surprised and asked, "How did you find us so quickly?"Casey briefly assumed a scheming expression when Evan showed up and commented, "He showed up just as expected."Casey couldn't help but feel excited to see Evan's angry expression."You're here, Evan—" Before Casey could finish his sentence, Evan grabbed him by the collar and lifted him."You're going to get yourself killed, Casey!" Evan's eyes were filled with rage.Noticing Evan was about to fight, Caroline hastily called out, "Stop it, Evan!"Evan's fist hung in the air due to her rem
Outside Luxe Dining.Evan forcibly pushed Caroline into the car, leaving her bewildered. Just as she was trying to sit up, she felt Evan's menacing presence.He grasped Caroline's arm, forcing her to sit upright, and yelled irrationally, "Why are you doing this?"Caroline winced in pain, her anger rising. "What's wrong with you, Evan? I explicitly told you to stop bothering me, didn't I?""I'm asking you, why are you doing this?" Evan tightly gripped Caroline's collar, pulling her closer. "Tell me why?!""There's no reason! I don't have to explain myself to you!" Caroline glared at him coldly."You won't explain, huh?" Evan growled through clenched teeth."No! I won't explain anything to you! I won't explain why I befriended him or why I'm on a date with him!" Caroline shouted. "I won't explain anything to you, no matter what happens between him and me in the future!""Reuben, get out of here!" Evan was seething with anger.Reuben hastily fled from the car in a panic.Carolin
Daniella got out of the bathroom ten minutes later. She approached Casey and kissed his lips. "I'll go back now, Casey."Casey's expression was gentle. "Be careful. The driver is waiting downstairs."Daniella nodded. The driver informed him a few minutes later that Daniella had already gotten into the car. Meanwhile, someone knocked on the door. Casey got up and opened the door. A sexily dressed woman, Kitty, with vibrant red lips, stood outside and asked shyly, "Sir, did you request room service?", "Did you order room service, sir?"Casey turned sideways. "Come in."He grabbed her hair and flung her to the sofa ferociously not long after. Kitty covered the painful spot on her head and turned anxiously. "You…"Casey had been concealing a sense of madness in his eyes for a while now. It was as if a fierce beast was ready to burst out from within him. He approached Kitty and commanded sternly, "Turn around!"Kitty stood up shakily in preparation to run, yet Casey pulled
"Call Evan to check if Carol is with him," Paige said.Alex nodded, grabbed his phone, and dialed Evan's number.Unfortunately, Evan's phone was also switched off.Alex handed the phone to Paige. "His phone is off. Any idea what's going on?"Paige rolled her eyes at Alex. "You were sleeping like a log. How would you know if something happened?"Alex felt a bit hurt. "I slept with you because I saw you were asleep and didn't want to wake you."Paige grunted. "Do you think Evan and Carol are together? Their phones are off.""Is Caroline missing?" Alex perked up.Paige nodded with concern. "Her phone is off, too. Do you have Reuben's number? Maybe he knows something.""Sure, I'll give it a try." Alex then called Reuben.Reuben answered quickly."Reuben, is Evan with Caroline?" Alex inquired.Reuben glanced around awkwardly and at the onlookers. "Well, they're..."His face turned bright red. It had been a while since he stood alone by the roadside.Alex couldn't resist prying
