Chapter 297

Kirk was already home

by the time Caroline returned. He wasn’t in the kitchen preparing food as usual, though.

He tossed her a smile and said. “Let’s head out for dinner today. I booked us a spot at Yogoo.”

Yegon was a new restaurant specializing in Faromish food, Influencers flocked there, and it was said th

at the restaurant offered 180 different dishes and that every single dish tasted heavenly.

The only downside was that the food was rather expensive.

A couple of days ago, one of its customers had shared the bill online. He had spent thousands of dollar

s just on three dishes. This piece of information quickly took over the headlines.

“The food there is too expensive.” Caroline furrowed her brows.

“Why do you want to go there for dinner?”

Kirk tilted her chin upward and kissed her gently on the lips. “It’s to celebrate you, darling, for becomin

g the next CEO of Evans Group in

advance.”

Caroline laughed lightly and sald, “Is it really alright? What if I lose?”

“No way.” Kirk hooked an arm around her waist.

“I believe in you, darling.” The look of faith in his eyes shone through like an unwavering ray of light. It

was clear that he wasn’t simply trying to joke around.

The trust he placed in her made her heart skip a beat, and she stood on the tips of her toes to give him

a kiss.

Just when she wanted to pull away, she felt his grip on her waist strengthen, and she was lifted slightly

higher into the air.

When Kirk finally let go of her, she found herself panting for air with her face as red as a tomato. Kirk p

atted her back lightly to help her calm down. Teasingly, he said, “Darling, you have to work out more.”

Puzzled, Caroline hesitated for a moment before straightening her

back. “Stop fooling around. Hurry and cancel the reservation.”

“Aren’t we going to celebrate?”

“Of course we are! But we can simply celebrate at home!” Caroline said.

In truth, she thought that spending a few thousand dollars for a meal was simply outrageous.

Kirk placed a kiss between her brows. “Stop thinking of helping me save money. We eat out once in a

while, and I’m pretty sure I can afford It.” It was as though he could read her mind.

Caroline’s heart skipped a beat. “But Thal amount could equal his salary after a month of hard work.

Kirk noticed the reluctance in her eyes, and he leaned in to kiss them. “I work hard so that you can spe

nd what I earn. If you don’t, then there’s no point in me working so hard anymore.”

His words tugged at her heartstrings. He wasn’t lying, though. In the past, he had been a workaholic be

cause working saved him from the

dreaded tendrils of loneliness.

Now, he worked so that he could provide her with a beller life.

If he failed in this aspect, he would start considering whether he should tell Caroline his true identity.

He didn’t want her to feel sorry for him because of money. He also wanted to give her the best of everyt

hing.

“Okay.” Caroline Inhaled. “But promise me that It’s just for this one time.”

Seeing that she had finally relented, Kirk finally smiled. After pecking her on the lips, he grabbed her ha

nd and pulled her out of the house.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the staff led them to a private room. “Sir, Ma’am,” said the waitress

as she handed them the menu. ” Would you like me to recommend our specialties?”

“Do you know what would happen if she continued looking into this ?

Needless to say, Charles knew the consequences all too well. Jack had once been Kirk’s bodyguard.

If Caroline carried on investigating based on this clue, she would someday find out that Kirk was Eddy’s

second uncle. It was all just a matter of time

Realizing this grave mistake, Charles immediately

said, “Sir, I won’t complain if I’m demoted by three ranks and get deducted three months

A shadow fell across Kirk’s face. Tm not going to punish you for this.”

Hastity, Charles conected himself. “Understood, sir. Til be extra careful in the future. There won’t be a repeat of this.”

Kirk opened hi uth to say something but swallowed the words back.

Charles shouldn’t be held fully accountable for this. Kirk himself had played a significant part in Carolin

e’s growth as a person, so he should be able to take the risk himself

The silence made Charles hesitate for a bit, but soon be mustered the courage to ask, “What do we do

now?”

Kirk knew what she was going to do, but he didn’t stop her. After leaving the room, Caroline quickened

glimpse of a familiar figure.

“Adrian?” She called out, surprised.
