Chapter 567
The atmosphere in the private room was lively and cheerful.
Chery! sat beside Sonia and kept asking about the entertainment industry. Sonia wasn’t much of a gossiper, so she only talked about things concerning herself.
Meanwhile, Gwen had a drink–off with Jack. Jack was clearly a good drinker, and soon, Gwen
drank until her face turned red.
Caroline noticed Sean hesitating a few times, as if he wanted to say something.
She whispered in Kirk’s ear, “He obviously cares about her, but he’s pretending that he doesn’t. I really don’t get what he’s thinking.”
Kirk put a fish fillet on her plate and said, “If you don’t understand, just leave them be. Let the youngsters solve their own problems.”
Caroline smiled at his words. “It sounds as if you’re calling yourself old.”
Kirk retorted, “I’m not old, but mature. Compared with them, we’re not as naive. We’ll actively find ways to solve our problems.”
Caroline quipped, “You’re just tooting your own horn.”
“Hey!” Gwen suddenly came over.
“Are you two done whispering sweet nothings to each other? If so, let me borrow Caroline for a minute…”
Gwen was obviously drunk. She was already slurring her words.
Caroline said, “You’re drunk, Gwen.”

“No, I just drank one bottle. There’s no way I would get drunk from that.”

“Follow them if you’re so worried about her,” Kirk said coldly.
Sean, who had been watching Gwen this whole time, quickly looked away. He pretended to be calm and said, “I’m not worried.”
Kirk scoffed at his words, remaining silent.
Sean looked at him silently for a moment. Then, he admitted, “Fine, I am worried about her. But didn’t you tell me that our problem is unsolvable?
“If I keep pestering her, she might become annoyed with me, and we won’t even be friends…”
Then, he took a sip of his wine. “It’s better just to cut my losses and keep my distance. Although I can’t be with her, at least I can still see her face.”
“You seem to have an open mind about this,” Kirk commented flatly.
Sean shrugged and asked Kirk, “What would you have done?”
Kirk tightly gripped his wine glass, remembering what Eddy had said to Caroline the other day.
He sneered, “I would never let something like this happen in the first place!”
No one could stop him from being with Caroline, not even Jude!
Meanwhile, Caroline and Cheryl stood outside the bathroom, waiting for Gwen. Cheryl asked Caroline with concern, “Caroline, is Gwen okay?”
Gwen had drunk so much. Furthermore, Jack was so dense. Cheryl had tried to signal him not to drink with Gwen anymore, but he hadn’t been able to understand her.
As Caroline listened to the sound of Gwen vomiting in the bathroom, she pinched the bridge of her nose and shook her head.
“Is she heartbroken?”
Cheryl whispered, “I’m really curious, Caroline. What happened between Gwen and Dr. Yates? I
