Chapter 789 Just then, someone knocked on the door.“Excuse me, is someone in there?”Caroline glanced at the door and caught a glimpse of the pair of shoes under the door.“Yeah.”“You’re Ms. Evans, right? Your fiancé said that you’ve been in here for quite some time already. He askedme to check if you’re okay,” the woman […]
hapter 788 “It’s true! I swear I’m telling you the truth!” Gwen burst out laughing. “You’d better be! God will surely find lots of ways to punish you if you hide something from me.” “I have nothing to hide,” said Sean. He wished he could just pluck his heart out and give it to Gwen.
Chapter 787 It was at this moment that Gwen’s phone started ringing. She froze when she saw that it was Sean who was calling her. She couldn’t believe her eyes. How did he know that she had been about to call him? In her daze, she missed the call. A wave of panic washed over
Chapter 786 “Come here.” Eddy didn’t care if Caroline agreed to it or not anymore. He simply took out his phone and took a shot of her wearing the ring and uploaded it on social media. Even after uploading the photo, he still thought it wasn’t enough. He contacted some reporters in the entertainment industry
Chapter 785 Caroline stared back at Eddy, her pretty eyes sparkling just like the stars at night. Frowning, Eddy made up his mind and was determined to selfishly keep this beautiful light of hers all to himself. “Yes, I did,” he said. “Do you like it?” “Did you come up with this idea? You’re so
Chapter 784 Caroline shrank in the seat as her eyes fell on the rows of cars behind them. The scenery outside looked so familiar yet strange to her somehow. The buildings looked familiar as if she had seen them all before, but she found it strange because they weren’t similar to the ones in her
Chapter 783 The phone’s ring scared Eddy half to death. He took a furtive glance at the screen to see that the caller was none other than Avery. He quickly answered the call and vented all his anger on her by lashing out at her. “Didn’t you say that Caroline will definitely marry me after
But the guilt Eddy felt completely vanished when he remembered that Kirk married Caroline and lied to him. Caroline was supposed to marry Eddy from the very beginning. His attitude toward Kirk turned cold when he was reminded of this. Kirk had only just snapped out of his daze and started walking toward the gates. Staring at Eddy through the gates, he enunciated each word as he said, “I dare you to repeat what you just said.” Despite the iron gates that separated them, Eddy’s still heart skipped a beat when Kirk spoke. “I said… Caroline and I-” Eddy paled at the sound as Kirkpunched the gate with such force that the iron bars became dented. He didn’t have the guts to speak clearly now. All he did was mumble incoherently. “Why don’t you repeat what you said?” Kirk roared at him like an angered beast, his eyes locked on Eddy. Needless to say, Eddy lost the courage to continue speaking. Looking at the dent in the gates, he feared that his fate would somehow become just like the gate’s. Just then, a crisp voice came from the second floor. “Eddy, what’s going on down there? Did you break something?” It was Caroline. Hastily, Eddy turned to say, “It’s nothing. Nothing happened. Don’t come down yet.” But he was too late because Caroline was already walking down the stairs with her jacket on. Seeing that nothing had happened in the courtyard, she glanced at Eddy, puzzled. “What was that sound just now? It was so loud,” she said. Eddy was confused. He followed her gaze only to find out that Kirk, who had been standing by the gates just a moment ago, was nowhere to be seen. Realization dawned on Eddy when he recalled how Caroline had reacted when he had tried to bring up the past. A small smile hung on his lips. ‘It’s nothing at all. Nothing’s wrong. You should go upstairs and rest.” “Are you sure?” Caroline noticed the dent in the gates. “Why is the gate dented? It looks like some kind of animal did this.” “Nah. A helpless and incompetent fool did that,” said Eddy. “Hurry and head upstairs. I’ll have someone come and fix this.” “Okay then.” Taking one last glance at the gate, Caroline felt a strange feeling feeling in her as if she had seen this before. However, she couldn’t remember where she had seen it before, no matter how hard she tried to remember. Her head started throbbing when she tried to recall the past, so she quickly stopped thinking about it. After she left, Eddy walked up to the gate and glanced around. Kirk had left indeed. Scoffing, Eddy said, “Uncle Kirk can’t even see Caroline now, so how is she going to remember him?” He had just finished talking when a hand shot out from the darkness, putting him in a chokehold and suffocating him.
Chapter 781 A shadow fell across Eddy’s face after he left Caroline’s room. Sure enough, it was the same as before. She resisted him from the bottom of her heart. ́Otherwise, she would have happily agreed to marry him since she had forgotten Kirk. Uncle Kirk. Eddy couldn’t stop himself from clenching his fists at the thought of him. Caroline had forgotten all about him. Yet … Eddy raised his fist and was about to punch a hole in the wall when he spotted a car parked on the ground floor. The Morrisons had dozens of luxury cars. Naturally, he couldn’t recognize all of them, but this one right there… they definitely didn’t own a car like this. The corners of Eddy’s mouth tilted upward in a smile, and he gradually made his way downstairs to the car. When he reached the car, he saw the person inside. It was Kirk, just as he had expected. “Uncle Kirk!” chirped Eddy as he rapped on the car window. The window rolled down, and he saw Kirk’s bleak face staring back at him. It was obvious from the bags under Kirk’s eyes that he hadn’t rested well for a couple of days. It was Eddy’s first time seeing such a dejected and dispirited side of Kirk. For some reason, a wave of guilt washed over him. It was as if he had stolen a beloved item of Kirk’s. Kirk took a glance at him and continued downing a bottle of wine, his eyes cold. Eddy watched him gulp down a mouthful of the drink and said, “Uncle Kirk, don’t be so upset. Things have only returned to how they were supposed to be now.” He added, “Caroline’s been my fiancée since the beginning-” He had barely finished his sentence when Kirk yanked his necktie. The force behind it was so immense that Eddy, who hadn’t anticipated the sudden move, stumbled forward, his face just inches/away from Kirk’s. Staring at Kirk’s side profile from such a close distance, Eddy subconsciously held his breath in fear. Uncle Kirk-”
Chapter 780 Eddy tiptoed as he pushed open the door. Then, he walked over to the bed and carefully took Caroline’s hand. “Caroline, I’ll definitely protect you in the future.” After saying that, he leaned over and was about to kiss her forehead. However, Caroline, who was deep asleep, suddenly opened her eyes. Eddy was
