“Care to have a try?” He hooked an arm around her waist and gave her lips a peck.

It made Caroline laugh at how much of a hooligan he seemed right now. “Move,” she told him.

“Where to?” He kissed her again and led her to the edge of the bed.

I’ve taken root in your heart. I’ve nowhere to go.”

Caroline’s heart leaped into her mouth when she realized what he was doing. Still, she went with the

flow and slowly lay down on the bed. her eyes clouding expectantly.

Beside her, she felt the bed sink as Kirk lay down. He gently kissed her on the forehead, and the atmos

phere changed to fit what was to

come.

Just then, Caroline got a notification alert on her phone, making both of them freeze.

Pushing against his chest, she panted, “L–let me check it.”

A shadow fell across Kirk’s face at how untimely the interruption was. He reached out a hand to snatch

her phone away.

He stopped abruptly when he noticed how her expression changed almost instantly after looking at the

screen.

Kirk didn’t know what the notification was about. However, he had a few guesses alter seeing Caroline’

s reaction.

He raised a hand to pat her on the back. “What is it?”

She handed him her phone right after.

Kirk glanced at the phone and said, “It seems like you aren’t surprised at all.”

Smiling, she explained, “Sarah called me the day I was taken to the hotel to meet Brie. I didn’t connect

the dots then. With this, I finally know why Brie had been bold enough to do that.

“She wasn’t the one who took me there, so she knew she wouldn’t have to take the blame if something

happened to me.”

Yet somehow an accident had occurred, making Brie go nuts.

Kirk took Caroline into his arms. “Are you upset?” he asked.

Caroline shook her head and rested it against his shoulder.

“A few days ago, Sarah came to me. She asked me to persuade Grandpa to agree to Eddy and Layla s

eeing each other. I wondered why

she would act like that —”

Then, she looked down at her phone and snickered. “If I’m not mistaken, Layla had called Sarah before

that to tell her that Eddy was in the

hotel. That was why Sarah had gone so far as to abduct me and send me there.

“Sarah probably came

to me because Layla blackmailed her with it. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked me such a thing, con

sidering how

much she wanted me to marry Eddy.”

Caroline analyzed the entire situation with such composure.

Kirk couldn’t help but take her hands in his. “Darling…*

Caroline met his gaze and tossed him a smile. “Can you help me find out who sent me this information

? I have to thank them for this.”

“Thank them?”

“Yes. It doesn’t matter what their intentions were for sending this.

I truly am grateful to them for letting me let go of things now.”

Kirk started stroking her back gently. “Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Of course.” She stared into his eyes, her gaze clear without

a trace of hesitance. “Do you know what I’m thinking now?”

“What is it?”

“If I wasn’t Sarah and Dan’s daughter, they might not have lived to this day.”

Hearing this, Kirk slid his hand between her shoulder blades. “Yep. My darling’s becoming more indepe

ndent than ever.”

Caroline smiled softly at him and decided to resume their conversation. “Can you help me find out who

sent this?”

‘Sure,” Kirk agreed. Then, he plucked her phone out of her grasp and placed it aside.

“Forget it for now. I have something I need your help with.”

Caroline blinked, puzzled. “What is it?”

Then, Kirk pushed her onto the bed once again, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

“You know what to do.”

It was time for dinner. Caroline went to find Gwen in her room, while Kirk walked out to the balcony to a

nswer a call from Charles.

“Sir, I’ve sent the Information to the madam,” Charles reported.

“Good. I’ve seen it.”

Kirk absentmindedly rapped his knuckles on the wooden railing. His voice was dangerously low when h

e said, “Next time, pick a better time to send messages.”

That made Charles very confused. Why was Kirk in such a bad mood? Did he get into a fight with Carol

ine?

Charles recalled the last time Kirk had a quarrel with Caroline. The

atmosphere in the company had been so excruciatingly taut that Charles had been haunted by headac

hes for quite some time.

Kirk said, “Send me every bit of information you can get about the Evans family.”

“Okay, Charles responded immediately.

After that, Kirk fell silent for some time. Taking it as a sign that Kirk had no other task to assign to him,

Charles finally ended the call.

Later, Kirk pocketed his phone and exited the

room in search of Caroline. He found her chatting animatedly with Gwen.

He wasn’t sure what they were talking about, but Caroline’s eyes twinkled as she spoke. He found this

side of her overwhelmingly cute.
