The gleam in Addan’s eyes dimmed a bit. “Loveblads, eh?

Embarrassed, Caroline lowered her head for a moment before looking up to ask him, “What about you?

Are you here with your friends?”

“Yeah, kind of,” Adilan told her alter a moment’s hesitance.

Silence fell as both of them didn’t have anything else to talk about after that. Adrian broke the stillness

by asking, “Can I meet your husband?

He was curious about what kind of man could make her change so much.

“Surel” Caroline beamed. “But you have to wall for a bit. I want to

the bill first”

“Let me treat you two this time,” Adrian told her.

“No, I’m fine.” She waved her hands, declining his offer.

“How can I let you do that?”

The two of them fought for the bill, and the stall at the counter asked for the number of Caroline and Kir

k’s private room.

Alter typing away at the keyboard for a while, she looked at them both and sald, “Room 201 has been p

Once again, silence shrouded the alr. Awkward, Caroline rubbed her temples and said, “I forgot to ask

my husband if he had paid for it. He

must have done it earlier.”

Adrian smiled and shifted the topic of their conversation. “Well then, I can meet him now, right?”

Caroline heartily agreed and led him to the private room. Just then, a soft voice sounded from behind th

ern. “Adrian,” the voice called out.

Caroline halted in her tracks and turned to the source of the volce, along with Adrian.

A gentle–

looking young woman in a black dress stood nearby. She was pretty, and her bearing suggested that s

he came from an affluent

and sophisticated family.novelbin

A look of unease took over Adrian’s lace when he saw her.

The woman approached them and eyed Caroline up and down before smiling, which showed off her di

mples. “Caroline Evans?”

Caroline didn’t recognize this woman, who was reaching out a hand to her. “Yvonne Hackett. You don’t

know me, but I know you.”

Caroline repeated the name in her mind and soon found an answer.

This woman was the Hackett family’s daughter. There weren’t many

girls or women in their family, so all the Hacketts showered them with

love.

That was why Yvonne was treated quite well, although she wasn’t the daughter of the head of the Hack

ett family. She had also made appearances at plenty of events and occasions.

Caroline had met her a couple of times before this and knew her as a cule and soft–

spoken young woman. She only had a vague impression of Yvonne, though, since they had never inter

acted much.

“I know who you are, Ms. Hackett,” Caroline said, and they shook hands.

“Why are you here?”

Yvonne hooked an arm around Adrian’s as though it were a natural thing for her to do. “I’m here to acco

mpany Adrian.”

Realization dawned on Caroline, and she smiled warmly at Yvonne.

“I see. So you came here with Ms. Hackett.”

After that, she thanked him a couple more times and said goodbye.
