Caroline took a deep breath and told herself that it was all a lie. The person who had accused Kirk
of marrying other women had lied to her.
Even though she had reached this conclusion, it somehow made her shudder in fear of the
unknown.
She couldn’t understand why someone would do something like that.
Kirk was just an ordinary guy, after all. At most, he had a small company of his own.
Even then, his father had founded the company, and Kirk was merely in charge of taking care of it.
Kirk told her before that it was just a small company, and she believed it. If it had been a huge
business, he could have simply taken over the company and wouldn’t have needed to go out to
work.
Therefore, she was certain that Kirk was only an ordinary, white–collar worker.
He was like a tiny fish in the ocean here in Easton. If that person had indeed lied, why had they
made Kirk their target? The thought made Caroline waver.
“You’re back.” Kirk’s voice sounded from the kitchen. There was a hint of a smile in his voice.novelbin
When she saw him walking out of the kitchen in his suit, she felt her heart skip a beat.
It didn’t matter how many times she had seen him like this before. She still couldn’t get used to
seeing him all suave and handsome in all his suits. (1)
“What is it?” Kirk smiled adoringly at her.
As she sniffed the air, Caroline found that the fragrance of the dishes he had prepared this time
was different. It was more intense than before.
“What are you making?” She asked, trying to get rid of all the jumbled thoughts in her mind.
Kirk’s lips tilted upward into a smile, and he said, “Ratatouille.”
Caroline fell silent for a moment. “It sounds familiar.”
Before she could react, Kirk leaned in and pecked her on the lips. She reached out to push him
away but was a tad late because he had already taken a step back.

“It’s also the name of a movie. Do you remember it now?” He said.
Caroline was both pissed and shocked.
She was pissed at herself for not hating his touch, even though he might be married to another
woman in secret. She was shocked because he knew how to make ratatouille.
When she had been training herself to become a good housewife for Eddy, she had forced herself
to memorize all kinds of recipes.
Ratatouille was no simple dish, and only rich people with lots of time on their hands would make
the dish.
When she finally snapped out of her daze, Kirk had already placed the food on the dining table.
“I modified it a little.” He picked up his spoon, blew on the spoonful of ratatouille, and held it in
front of Caroline’s mouth.
“Have a taste and tell me if it’s nice.”
Caroline stared at the spoon and told him, “I can take it myself.”
As she reached for the spoon, their hands touched. Sparks seemed to fly, and her hand shot back
away from him.
She felt herself yearning for him deep down, yet the logical side of her told her not to give in to
her desire. It was like she was trying to balance herself in the middle of a seesaw.
Feeling awkward, she wished that a hole would appear in the ground so that she could bury
herself in it. “I–I’ll—”
Before she could say more, Kirk’s hand had already slithered around her waist and pulled her
close to him.
The scent of his cologne invaded her senses, and she felt the wall that she had built to defend
herself against him crumble into oblivion.
“Let me feed you.” Kirk’s raspy voice came from beside her.
It was intoxicating, and it made her feel as though she was in Eden, and he was the enticing apple
that she was inclined to pick and consume.
Eventually, she would succumb to this temptation and fall into his embrace once more.
