Chapter 46
Caroline raised an eyebrow and chuckled. “Didn’t you just meet Kirk, Dr. Yates?”
Neither Sean nor Kirk had a response to that.
After a beat, Sean regained his ability to speak. “What I mean is It means something special when a m
an says he wants to give a
woman a home-”
“Shut up!” Kirk warned, his expression stern.
Sean promptly closed his mouth.
“Ignore him. He likes talking nonsense.”
Caroline shook her head. “It’s fine. Dr. Yates is a good conversationalist. But based on the way you inte
ract, it doesn’t seem like you two just met. You seem like old friends.”
Sean was stunned. He’d never expected someone as innocent as Caroline to be so observant. Hence, novelbin
he didn’t dare to say anything else during the ride.
Soon, they arrived at their destination and got out of the car.
The middleman had already arrived.
When he saw them, he walked up. He said enthusiastically, “This way, please.”
The three of them followed the middleman into the villa.
The villa was three stories tall. It was bigger than the Evanses‘ villa, and there was even a pool on the r
oof.
Caroline tugged at the edge of Kirk’s shirt. When
the middleman wasn’t paying attention, she whispered, “Let’s just go.”
Kirk answered. “Alright.”
Caroline was surprised by Kirk’s unquestioning behavior. “Aren’t you going to ask me why?”
“I forgot your parents live near here too.” When he’d gotten the information about the villa, he’d only tho
ught that the name sounded familiar. “I won’t forget next time.”
Caroline was stunned. “You You think I don’t want to keep looking because my parents stay in the area
?”
Kirk hummed in agreement.
Caroline’s heart filled with warmth. So this was what it was like to have someone remember things abo
ut her.
“Of course that’s not it.” After all, Kirk was the one buying the house, so it was up to him where the prop
erty was located. “This house isn’t cheap. We should go somewhere else if you want to buy one.”
Kirk tilted his head. He met Caroline’s gaze. “Do you like it here?”
Caroline didn’t understand. She looked around the villa.
The place was spacious
and beautiful. Plus, it was in the city center, so transportation was great. The only drawback was that it
was too expensive.
“I like it.”
“Then I’m buying it.”
Caroline watched as Kirk walked toward the middleman. She rushed over to stop him. “Are you mad?”
This villa had to cost at least 100 million dollars! There was no way Kirk could afford it, even if he worke
d his whole life.
Kirk looked down at Caroline’s slender fingers on his wrist. He smiled as he asked. “But don’t you like it
?”
“If I said I liked the moon, would you get it for me?”
Caroline cut him off. “I wasn’t joking.”
Kirk smirked. “I’m being serious as well.”
Caroline’s heart started racing. Nervous, she looked away.
Kirk, on the other hand, leaned in closer. He tilted Caroline’s head up.
Caroline’s breaths became rushed. She wanted to avoid him but couldn’t. All she could smell was the li
ght mint scent Kirk gave off.
“Even though we’re in a fake marriage, I want to do my best to give you a home.”
Each word he said danced in Caroline’s heart.
Yet when she thought of what she’d promised her parents, her heart started aching again.
