She Killed My Ex novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116 Companionship Was the Ever-lasting Confession of Love

When Caroline walked downstairs, he saw the man in a white shirt and a pair of casual pants standing under the old banyan again.

With a hint of surprise flashing across her eyes, she greeted, "Mr. Tucker."

She hadn't seen him for so long.

Yet today he showed up again.

"Let's go. You must be hungry, right?" The man who stood under the tree walked up to Caroline, reached out toward her naturally, and then held her hand. Caroline wanted to dodge it, but Antonio suddenly raised his head and said, "You know. Your strength is smaller than mine."

He was reminding Caroline not to make a useless effort.

"Get in the car. I've been busy recently and I haven't eaten the beef noodles made by Hudson for several days. Go there to eat it with me."

Caroline silently raised her head, took a glance at the man before her, raised her leg, and then got into the car. She thought to herself, "Alas, I should talk to him after accompanying him to eat a bowl of noodles."

They didn't talk on the way to Hudson's restaurant and the atmosphere seemed depressing.

Antonio became less talkative today and he looked like a totally different person from the boy in Caroline's impression.

Along the way, Caroline peeked at Antonio who was driving several times.

She was more certain about her assumption. Antonio didn't look good. Although his grooming was still clean and refreshing, his eyes looked puffy with dark circles under them. It was very apparent.

Just like usual, Caroline followed Antonio into the beef noodle restaurant after getting off the car.

When they were having noodles, Antonio's phone kept ringing with notification sounds as he would receive a message from time to time.

When Caroline finished her noodles, he thought maybe she should make things clear with this boy when he finished his noodles.

"Mr..." She put down her cutleries and prepared to say something.

But Antonio's phone which was placed on the table rang again.

This time, it was not a message. Looking at his phone, Antonio gradually knitted his brows. He picked up his phone from the table, stood up, and walked toward the door while saying to Caroline, "Wait a minute. I need to answer a call." Then he hurriedly walked out of the restaurant.

Caroline looked out of the door and found Antonio seemed to have lost his temper and was packing back and forth. A hint of doubt flashed across her mind. When Antonio went back, Caroline blinked her eyes. She could clearly see the anxiety and anger in his eyes.

And he was knitting his brows even tighter.

"Mr. Tucker, have something happened to you recently?"

Antonio hadn't expected that Caroline who was always taciturn would suddenly ask him this question.

He raised his head and asked instead, "Why did you ask so?"

"I have been busy recently. Callie, be obedient. I will come to find you soon. Before that, please protect yourself and don't let yourself get hurt. Promise me."

Caroline's heartbeat quickened. She looked down at the big hand which wrapped her small hand tightly and felt inexplicably touched. How would she not be touched?

Someone was telling her to protect herself and not to let herself get hurt.

She looked up and landed her gaze on his face. She suddenly had an impulse to tell him about her past so that he could clearly know who she was and what kind of person she was. She wanted to tell him the truth. It was equivalent to peeling herself off layer by layer and showing him the ugliest side of her.

Even so, she still wanted to tell him everything, urgently.

"Mr. Tucker, my full name is Caroline Jameson. I'm from the Jameson family." She plucked up her courage, closed her eyes, and shouted.

Yes, she shouted to him. Her heart was beating so fast now. she was afraid that she would never have the courage to tell him the truth if she didn't shout it out with all her strength.

She especially emphasized that she was from the Jameson family. Caroline gritted her teeth and decided that since she had said that, she might tell him everything. Therefore, she continued, "I was once..."

Antonio suddenly chuckled. The next moment, Caroline felt warmth on her lips. He quickly leaned back and then whispered into her ear in a gentle voice, "Of course, I know it. You're Caroline Jameson. Callie, no matter what you have done, it won't change the fact that I love you."

Caroline opened her eyes in confusion. What she saw was Antonio's sunny smile with his white teeth bared. Except for tease, there was also gentleness and love in his eyes. She was more dumbfounded and murmured, "Mr. Tucker..."

"Get off now. I will come to find you after I solve everything."
