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?"
