In the past few days, Kirk had tried every way to talk with Caroline more. Yet, ironically, using his true identity allowed Caroline to speak with him freely.
“Hello.” He swallowed, trying to suppress the burning emotions in his chest. He didn’t want to scare Caroline off again.
“Thank you for helping me many times. When are you free? I would like to treat you to a meal.” Caroline didn’t notice anything unusual about Kirk at all.
He dug his fist a little deeper into the couch. He gritted his teeth, his jaw tightening as he answered, “Any time.”
Caroline didn’t expect Kirk to be so easygoing. She smiled and asked, “Then, can I add your number on WhatsApp?”
She could ask him some business questions if she had his number on WhatsApp.
The fire in Kirk’s eyes burned even brighter at her words. He dug his fingers deep into the flesh of his palm, the pain making him retain the last bit of his sanity. “Okay,” he forced out.
Caroline blinked, thinking that Kirk was getting impatient. She took out her phone and added Kirk on WhatsApp. Then, she said, “Sir, Da–Ms. Daphne, it’s getting late. So I’ll take my leave.”
Seeing Caroline turn around to leave, Kirk could no longer suppress his feelings and yelled, “Wait!”
His urgent yell startled everyone. When it was clear that Kirked at Caroline,
smiled gloatingly, thinking she had upset him.

Caroline’s heart was beating wildly. She actually thought she heard Kirk’s voice when Eddy’s second uncle yelled at her.

He used all his strength to reign in his irrationality, his lips trembling from effort. “It’s nothing. I just haven’t seen Eddy and Uncle Jude for a long time. How are they?” He spoke with the air of a senior.
Caroline didn’t suspect anything. “They’re doing good. In fact, I also haven’t seen them for a long time.”
Upon seeing things turn out like this, everyone looked at them unhappily. This was completely different from what they had expected. They had wanted to see Caroline humiliated. Therefore, they lost interest in their conversation.
Caroline said goodbye after seeing that Kirk had no intention of talking to her anymore. She had just taken a few steps when she heard a guest’s teasing voice behind her.
“Since you just returned from abroad, you must have bought gifts for your wife, right?”
The word “gifts” made Caroline’s heart sting and ache. Then, she thought of Kirk again. If nothing had happened, she would also get a gift from Kirk, right?
Thinking of this, she quietly quickened her pace, trying to drown out the warm laughter behind her.
