Chapter 629

Seeing this, Kirk took some tissues to wipe Caroline’s tears. As he did, he coaxed, “Why are you crying, my dear little crybaby?”

Caroline’s eyes were still red, but she retorted, “I’m not crying. I just got dust in my eye.”

Kirk looked around the room. “All right, whatever you say. But darling, can you finish the spaghetti arrabbiata I made?”

Caroline smiled tearfully at his words, biting her lip. “Okay.”

After their dinner, Kirk and Caroline watched TV downstairs. No one talked during this time. At 11:

00 pm, Caroline got up and went upstairs.

After a moment, she said to Kirk, “Kirk …”

“Yeah?”

“I’ll always be with you, no matter how difficult things become.” Although there was nothing

usual about her words, she seemed to be making an oath.

Kirk looked at her gently. Her reassuring words immediately put him at ease. “Okay, you should

get some rest.”

Caroline nodded and went upstairs to rest.

When the door closed, Kirk immediately dropped his smile. He took out his phone and dialed

Eddy’s number.

Eddy quickly answered the phone. “What’s the matter, Uncle Kirk?”

“Where are you?”

“I’m at Grandpa’s place.” In a few days, Eddy had been arranging Jude’s funeral. He had suddenly

felt an emptiness in his chest, so he had gone to Morrison Manor, trying to find some comfort.

Kirk asked coldly, “Did Uncle Jude say anything to Caroline before he passed?”

“No.” Eddy was confused.

“He just told us that his biggest regret was that he didn’t get to see me and Caroline together. Why

are you asking, Uncle Kirk?”

Kirk was shaken. He finally understood the reason for Caroline’s strange behavior tonight. What

she wanted to talk about wasn’t his true identity, but rather Jude’s last words.

“Where did you say you were?” Kirk asked, gritting his teeth.

“At Morrison Manor. Uncle Kirk, what’s wrong?” Eddy asked, thinking Kirk was acting strange.

“Wait for me there. I’ll go see you now.”

After he said that, Kirk strode out of the villa. However, after a few steps, he seemed to have

thought of something. He turned back, went up to the second floor, and opened the door to his

bedroom.

Caroline was wiping her hair dry when she heard the door opening. She turned back to Kirk and

smiled. She asked, “Are you going to bed too?”

“The office called just now and said they needed me for something. So I won’t be home tonight.”

Caroline put her towel down. “It isn’t a big problem, right?”

“I don’t think so. I’ll be leaving now. You should rest early, and don’t worry about me.”

“Okay.”

Caroline saw Kirk off. She waited until he drove away before closing the door. However, she still

felt very uneasy. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Ever since Kirk had promised he wouldn’t go out at night anymore, he rarely left the house late.

Even if it was something work–related, he would blow it off.

But since he was going out so late now, the issue probably wasn’t a simple one.

Caroline felt restless at the thought. She couldn’t sleep at all.
