Chapter 236

Caroline could distinctly feel Kirk’s displeasure. She guessed that he really disliked the fact that she still

had ties with Eddy.

Thus, she explained patiently, “Grandpa has always been good to me. I can’t reject his Invitation.”

Kirk smiled as he brushed Caroline’s hair aside. “I’m not mad. It’s just that Mr. Morrison Senior still care

s so much about you, even though we’re already married. Don’t you find it strange?”

Caroline was silent for a moment before sighing.

“Actually, I’ve always wondered about It. Grandpa treats me with the kind of unconditional love that

goes beyond being related by blood. Maybe I look like some relative of his who died

young. Do you think it’s possible he’s so nice to me because of that?”

Perhaps Jude’s love for Caroline stemmed from that?

Kirk smiled slightly. He had no desire to look into Jude and the rest of the older generation’s affairs. But

if Jude stepped too far…

“Maybe. You could ask him about it tomorrow night.”

“Okay.” Caroline nodded.

She suddenly remembered what had happened with Jack earlier. But after some consideration, she

didn’t mention it to Kirk.

Kirk was typically quite busy. Besides, he might not be able to help her with Jack. It might be better if sh

e investigated it herself and checked out what was going on.

Alter work the nest day, Caroline rushed over to the hot springs place Jude had mentioned.

Simon led Caroline to a private room. “Mr. Morrison Senior is waiting for you inside.”

Caroline nodded before pushing the door open and heading inside.

As expected, Jude was in the room. However, he wasn’t alone. Eddy was also there.

At the sight of Eddy, Caroline’s expression became tense.

Although Eddy had been prepared for it, he still didn’t feel great about it.

Jude noticed their expressions, but

he ignored them. He smiled and said, “Carrie, you’re here. Come, sit for a while, and drink something.

We’ll go have a soak in a moment.”

“Alright.” Caroline sat opposite Eddy.

Jude patted Caroline’s hand and said comfortingly, “Carrie, don’t take what your parents said to heart.

They’re the ones in

the wrong on this. After a few days, I’ll personally call them over, and we can talk things out.”novelbin

Caroline looked at Jude gratefully. “Thank you, Grandpa.”

Jude talked more with Caroline. Seeing that she was in a stable mood and unbothered, he asked, “Carr

ie, have you heard of any rumors regarding Eddy’s second uncle?”

“Do you mean the news about him and the starlet Daphne Dawson?”

“Yes.” Jude’s eyes never left Caroline.

“What do you think about it?”

Caroline said, “There are lots of rumors circling in the entertainment industry. It’s very hard to verify any

of them.”

What if I told you it was true?”

Caroline was stunned for a moment, but she wasn’t sad or angry. She only felt a bit regretful. “So it’s lik

e that. Then please congratulate

him for me, Grandpa.”

Jude was still eyeing Caroline. “Carrie, why does it sound like you’re not being sincere?”

Caroline felt a little embarrassed that Jude had seen through her. “I really can’t keep any secrets from y

ou, Grandpa.”

him?”

Caroline replied, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It has nothing to do with me, and I can’t judge.”

Hearing Caroline’s response, Jude became completely relieved. II Caroline and Kirk had really been m

arried, she wouldn’t have been able lo react so calmly.

Jude gave Eddy a look.

Eddy also shared Caroline’s opinion that Daphne wasn’t a good match for Kirk. Thus, he found himself

liking this ex–fiancée of his.
