Chapter 649
Caroline only answered the call once she got outside. “Have you gotten home?”
“Yes.”
Caroline stole a glance behind her. “I just got here.”
“Darling.”
“Yes?”
“I miss you.”
In response, Caroline blushed. “I’ll be home very soon.”
“Remember that you said that.” Kirk’s voice suddenly became stern. “You can’t go back on your novelbin
word.”
Exasperated, Caroline didn’t know if she should laugh or cry. “What’s going on with you? Why are you
making it sound like I won’t go home after coming here?”
Kirk replied, “I’m afraid…”
“What are you afraid of?” Caroline didn’t get it. Also, this was the first time she heard Kirk say he was
scared, wasn’t it?
On the other end of the line, Kirk was silent for a while. Then, he laughed a bit as he said, “Darling, you
know the way back, right?”
“Of course I do.”
The smile on Caroline’s face faltered. She felt like Kirk knew something.
“Don’t worry. I’ll go home as soon as I finish things up here, because I miss you too.”
Kirk didn’t give any response. The two of them held onto their phones, listening to each other’s breath
and basking in each other’s presence through the line.
After a very long while, Caroline straightened and glanced at Eddy, who was curiously looking over
from the living room.
She couldn’t bear to part with Kirk, but she said, “I’m going to get to work here. You take good care

After Kirk responded in the affirmative, Caroline finally ended the call.
A bit later, Caroline went back into the living room.
Eddy was still in his previous stance, looking taken aback.
Caroline called his name, but he didn’t react at all. Because of that, she had no choice but to wave a
hand in front of him.
This made Eddy come back to earth. However, his gaze was still stricken. He looked as if he had been
hit by lightning.
Caroline frowned. “Eddy, what’s going on with you?”
Had he been struck dumb?
Eddy looked at Caroline dazedly. After a moment, he muttered, “T–That … K–Kirk … Mo-”
Even after a long while of patient waiting, Caroline found that Eddy was still in a state of astonishment.
Thus, she said, “From the looks of it, you should be fine. If so, I’ll go and settle the seating
arrangements.”
With that, Caroline went off to see Simon.
Meanwhile, Eddy was left alone, still stuck in his flabbergasted state. He was unable to move on from
his shock.
Caroline managed to find Simon and asked him to give her the list of invited guests.
Simon looked behind Caroline and found no trace of Eddy. Thus, he asked, “Where’s Mr. Eddy?”
Caroline responded, “He’s … in the living room.”
“I’ll go check on him,” Simon said.
“Alright.”
Nodding, Caroline lowered her head and went back to the guest list in her hand.
Simon walked over to the living room. When he got there, he found Eddy still sitting there like a
fool, looking like his soul had been sucked out of his body.
“Mr. Eddy, what happened to you?”

Eddy slowly raised his head to look at Simon. After a long moment, a weak sound escaped his throat.
“Mr. Zellen, I saw a caller ID on Caroline’s just now. It was… my second uncle’s name. When did they
get to know each other? How come I don’t know about it at all?”
Simon was even more affected by this news than Eddy. “Was it really your second uncle?” Eddy’s gaze
fell on Simon.
