The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 380

Frank said, "I'd be near enough that way while you can make a living for yourself. What do you think?"

"Sure, that's good." Carol nodded repeatedly but soon paused. "But wouldn't buying a whole shop be very expensive? I don't really need it that badly…"

Frank smiled. "Don't worry—I can afford it."

"Then… Thank you very much. I don't know what else I can say," Carold exclaimed. "Can I have Winter with me too? Don't worry—we won't run away."

"Are you still wary of me, Madam Zims?" Frank asked in surprise.

He could not say that he was not hurt with how careful she was around him, especially since he was sincere.

Carol shook her head and made sure Winter was not around before saying, "No… I think you know about Winter's situation too, that she's not my daughter…?"

"I am aware. I don't mind telling you that I showed up at your snackbar the first time to look for her," Frank admitted, having no reason to hide it since Carol was now opening up to him.

Carol nodded in turn. "Yes, but Winter herself doesn't know. I've raised her for twenty years, and I know what she thinks—I can tell that she likes you too, but you're both siblings."

That was why Carol had to be careful, in case something amoral happened between Frank and Winter as they cohabited.

Frank pursed his lips in awkwardness—so Carol thought he was Winter's brother?

"You misunderstand, Madam Zims." He smiled. "I actually adopted the last name of my mentor, who took me in since I was an orphan. Winter is his only daughter, and before my mentor died, his last wish was for me to take care of her."
