Chapter 408
Adrian didn’t want to leave at all. This was a rare opportunity for him to be in the same house as
Caroline
Quentin gave Adrian a video call after discovering he was at Caroline’s home. He teased, “Not bad,
my friend‘ You managed to stay over at her place so soon.”
“Keep your voice down!” Adrian nervously glanced at the door of Caroline’s room.
After making sure there were no noises, he glared at Quentin on the screen. “If you mess this up, I
won’t have mercy on you.”
Quentin said disdainfully, “Looking at you like this, you’ll definitely be a henpecked husband after
you get married.”
“I don’t mind at all. It’s none of your business,” Adrian retorted.
“You’re a constant ray of sunshine, aren’t you? Remember. She isn’t divorced yet.
Adrian was about to speak up when he heard the sound of the doorknob turning from the outside.
“Someone is here. I’ll talk to you later.” Adrian hung up the phone and walked to the door. He
opened it, bumping into Kirk, who was about to open the door.
The two men looked at each other, their gazes filled with hostility.
“What are you doing here?” Kirk opened the door and walked into the living room. He looked
around, but he didn’t see Caroline. Then, he calmed down.
“Caroline invited me up here.” Adrian’s gaze was fixed on Kirk. He always felt like he had seen
Kirk somewhere, but he just couldn’t remember.
“She invited you?” Kirk looked at Adrian with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
“Why didn’t I know about this?”
“Aren’t you both fighting?” Adrian stood tall.
“It’s normal for you not to know.”
Kirk narrowed his eyes and grabbed Adrian’s collar. “It’s normal for married couples to quarrel.”
He emphasized the word “married“.

Kirk’s intimidation shocked Adrian. But when he thought of Caroline, he looked back at Kirk and mocked,
“You’re right, but it’s also normal for married couples to eventually divorce after a big
fight, isn’t it?”
Kirk squeezed Adrian’s collar and suddenly let go of him. As a result, Adrian’s body hit the shoe
cabinet
“Caroline and I won’t get divorced,” Kirk declared.
He placed the takeout box on the dining table, acting like the man of the house. “Since you’re
Caroline’s guest, you can make yourself comfortable.”
Kirk’s words smothered Adrian’s elation. He clenched his fist, stood up, and sat silently on the
couch.
Kirk put away the takeout boxes and sat on the couch as well. He asked, “Where’s Caroline?”
“Asleep in her room.”
After that, neither of them spoke again until Caroline woke up. She came out to find the two of
them sitting like statues in the living room.
Seeing Caroline awake, the two men put away their hostility towards each other and walked to
her.
“Darling, are you hungry?” Kirk asked.
Caroline was upset. She really didn’t want to see Kirk as soon as she woke up.novelbin
However, she couldn’t cause a scene with an outsider here, so she had no choice but to nod.
Then, she approached Adrian and asked, “Why are you still here, Adrian?”
“I ran into your husband just as I was about to leave.” Adrian looked at Kirk mockingly.
Then, he said, “He insisted on me staying, so I did.”
Kirk was silent.
“I see. You must be hungry. Why don’t you stay and eat with us?”
Adrian looked over at Kirk again, acting pitiful. “Will your husband be upset if I stay for food?”
Caroline didn’t even look at Kirk as she answered, “He won’t.”

Adrian asked Kirk with a bright smile, “Really?”
Kirk was pissed, but he couldn’t get upset with Catoline here, so he could only nod with a forced
smile. He knew Caroline had a bad appetite, so he had bought her some beef stew.
After the three of them sat down at the dining table, Adrian helped Caroline serve the stew before
Kirk could. “Go ahead and try the stew, Caroline. Is it too hot? I can cool it down for you if you want.
Caroline’s attention was focused on Kirk, so she didn’t notice anything wrong with Adrian.
But for some reason, she said “okay” to Adrian’s offer.
