Looking at the gifts in
the room, Caroline felt confused once again. She couldn’t help but ask Jack, who had helped her carry
the gifts, “Mr. Jack, can I ask you a question?”
Jack said, “Go ahead.”
“Why do you think Eddy’s second uncle gave me so many gifts?”
Jack widened his eyes and answered cautiously, “Maybe he likes you, Ms. Evans. I don’t mean romanti
cally but in a familial way…”
Caroline frowned and was about to
say something when another car came in. It was Kirk’s car. Her expression shifted slightly.
Jack followed
Caroline’s gaze and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Kirk’s car. The next second, a tall fig
ure got out of the vehicle.
“Your husband is back,” Jack chirped.
However, he noticed Caroline was standing there, not moving an inch. At that moment, he finally realize
d why something seemed so off between the two of them!
They had fought, hadn’t they? Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, “I’ll be leaving first, Ms. Evans.”
Caroline nodded slightly.
Jack walked toward the car. After walking a few steps, he came face–to–face with Kirk.
However, Kirk went straight to Caroline without even looking at Jack. “Darling!”
Caroline’s expression froze upon hearing a familiar voice. But then, she turned around and

As Jack watched the scene unravel through the car window, he couldn’t help but shake his head.
The power of love was truly strong. In the past, he would never have dreamed that he would see
his boss bow his head for someone else.
Kirk followed Caroline into the living room. She sat down on the couch and said sullenly, “Talk.”
Since Kirk had learned that his identity wasn’t exposed, he felt much more relaxed. He went to
the kitchen and poured Caroline a glass of water. “Drink some water, darling.”

calmly, “Didn’t you say
“Drink some water first…”
This is your chance to come clean.”
Kirk deliberately coaxed in a low voice, “You must be thirsty from running around outside.”
Caroline frowned. His
behavior right now would only affect her judgment. She forced herself to say coldly, “It’s getting late. If you don’t want to talk, we’ll do it tomorrow.” Then, she stood up.
Kirk hurriedly grabbed Caroline’s hand. “I’ll talk, darling.”
Caroline sat down again. “Tell me, what did you lie to me about?”
She leaned back slightly, her eyes fixed on Kirk. She discarded all the distracting thoughts in her mind,
not wanting her emotions to affect her judgment.
Kirk returned Caroline’s
gaze. He frowned slightly and tried to cover up the heartache in his gaze. At first, he had assumed that
his identity had been exposed.
However, at Daphne’s banquet, he had confirmed that Caroline had no
idea he was Eddy’s second uncle. So Caroline wasn’t mad at him because of this.
Apart from this, he hadn’t hidden anything else from Caroline. Things would have been great if he hadn
’t told her this was the only thing he had lied to her about.
However, he had dug a hole for himself by
admitting that he was hiding something from her. If he didn’t give her a straight answer right now, he wa
