Chapter 376

Caroline kept her head down as she ate her baguette. Something fell into her

oatmeal. She blinked desperately before forcing out, “Yeah.”

“Are you really not angry anymore?” Kirk tightly gripped his fork.

Caroline took another bite of the baguette and secretly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. “Ar

e you talking about having your own company? Why didn’t you tell me about it before?”

Kirk tightly clenched the fork in his hand. Joy surged in every part of his body. He

answered with a slight vibrato, “Because… Because I didn’t know how to tell you.”

Caroline blinked, tears forming in her eyes again. She swallowed again. “When you said you would resi

gn, did you already know you would inherit your family business?”

Kirk was silent. He really hadn’t thought about this. The reason he had mentioned resigning was so that

he could start a company and make Caroline’s life better.

He touched his nose and frowned. Sure enough, once you told a lie, you had to tell more lies to cover it

up. But it didn’t matter. He would do anything to see Caroline smile again.

“No, I wanted to resign to give you a better life. As for my company overseas… Since I focused my effo

rts on my job here, I rarely handled things there. So… I’m sorry, darling.”

Kirk walked toward Caroline and squatted down. Looking up at Caroline from under the table, he said, “

Will you please forgive me this time?”

Caroline’s gaze inevitably met Kirk’s reverent ones. Her body trembled. Her feelings were about to

overtake her sense of reason.

It made her want to forgive Kirk at all costs and ignore the messages from the mysterious woman.

She cocked her head and said with difficulty, “I can forgive you, but…” She slowly turned and

looked into Kirk’s gaze.

She dug her nails into her palms, then slowly said, “You can’t lie to me anymore.”

Kirk averted his eyes for a moment, but soon he gave a small smile. “Okay.”

Caroline noticed him shifting his eyes briefly, and her heart went cold. As expected, Kirk was still

hiding something from her.

She took a deep breath and forced a smile. She couldn’t alert him that something was wrong

“Pinky sweat.” She held out her pinky finger

Kirk looked down at her slender finger and hooked his pinky around hers. Then they pressed their thum

bs together.

A spark spread throughout their bodies when their thumbs touched. This made Caroline very sad She a

lready knew Kirk was hiding something from her, but she couldn’t resist reacting to his touch

Fortunately, the phone rang. Caroline hurriedly pulled her hand away and picked up the phone, poorly

disguising her emotions. “Maybe something happened at work” And with that, she walked to the living rnovelbin

oom.

The person who sent the text wasn’t Marina, but Cheryl. And something really had happened at work. “

Caroline! The company upstairs is making horoscope–themed outfits like ust”

Caroline’s

expression changed slightly, and she picked up her bag. “Something came up at work. I have to go to t

he company right away”

Kitk asked. “Why don’t I take you there?”

Caroline glanced at Jack, who was outside the door, and forced a smile No. it’s okay

Kirk didn’t insist any further and watched Caroline leave, the smile on his face disappearing
