Caroline was heartbroken and helpless as she watched her daughter suffer because of love.
As someone who was a winner in love, Caroline couldn't understand the feeling of not being able to live without a man. But seeing that Thea was in so much pain and afraid that she would put an end to her life, Caroline couldn't bear it anymore and comforted, “Okay, okay. If you really wish to be with Kenneth, I'll definitely help you. As long as you listen to me, I promise that he'll come back to you.”
Only then did Thea stop crying. She looked at Caroline in disbelief. “Really?”
“Have I ever lied to you? Thea, there's something that you have to remember. Women can appear to be weak, but in truth, we must never be weak.”
“Then what should I do?”
Caroline leaned over and whispered something into Thea's ear. Thea stopped crying after hearing what Caroline said.
“Mom, will this really work?”
“That's how I managed to get your dad in the palm of my hand. What do you think?”
Thea thought about her father, who used to be a playboy. However, no one knew when and how he began to change and became truly loyal to Caroline to the extent that he would do anything for her.
Thea nodded continuously. “Okay. I'll listen to you!”
“That's my girl. The most important thing you should do right now is to take good care of yourself so that you can have the energy to go forward.”
Thea stopped crying and nodded. “I understand.”
Only when Thea had slowly calmed down did Caroline let out a sigh of relief.
Suddenly remembering something, she looked at Thea and asked, “Thea, have you met Old Mr. Hamilton before?”
Thea nodded. “Yes, I have. Why?”
“Do you know who are the parents of the two children he's with?”
“Children? What children?”
“You don't know about it?”
Confusion was written all over Thea's face. “There aren't any children by Old Mr.
Hamilton's side. I've seen him many times, but I've never heard of any children before.”
Caroline narrowed her eyes as she thought about it. After that, she looked at Thea.
“Thea, you should rest well. Leave the rest to me.”
“Okay.” Thea didn't think too deeply into it. At that moment, she only wished that she could recover sooner so that Kenneth would return to her side.
After leaving Thea's place, Kenneth felt relieved.
Indeed, he was only grateful to Thea, and he only thought of her as a friend. Back when he first took over the company, he was still young and a little arrogant. Therefore, a few shareholders of the
company joined forces to make things difficult for him. It was Thea who had stood by his side and helped him get through the most difficult time of his life. All those years, she was the one who had helped him take care of everything.
Kenneth didn't know what love was. So even though he once had a little thought of being in a relationship, he had simply shrugged it off.
He knew that he didn't love Thea despite not knowing what love was.
They were meant to be just friends and nothing else. It was only because he didn't want to lose a friend like her back then that caused things to progress to that state.
However, little did he expect things to turn out that way.
Right when he was thinking about that, his phone rang.
