Chapter 636
“Kirk, where are you now?” Sean asked
Stopping in his tracks, Kirk glanced up at the building before him and said in a lowered voice,
The old villa.”
The word “villa” was all it took for Sean to know exactly where Kirk was.
It was the place Kirk had purchased right after coming back to Easton to settle the urgent matter
regarding Caroline.
After being captured, Howard had also been sent to the old villa. Hence, Kirk had probably gone
back there to see Howard.
Figuring this out, Sean quickly told him, “Don’t go and see Howard. Caroline, Gwen, and I were
supposed to meet at Mayflower Square, but she changed routes on her way here.”
Sean continued, “She isn’t here yet. I’m afraid that something happened to her.”
“What?” Kirk already had a hand on the doorknob, but he turned around right after hearing Sean’s
words.
He was about to tell Sean something when he heard the guard’s voice.
“Missus, I’ve told you that this is an old residential area,” said the guard.
“No one comes here.”
“No way! I just saw my friend’s husband walk in there.” The voice belonged to a woman, and Kirk
recognized it right away. It was Gwen.
His heart leaped into his mouth when he heard her voice. Hastily, he opened the door and slipped
into the villa.
The voices became louder, as if Gwen and the guard were getting closer to the door.
“Try to remember. He was just in front of us.” Gwen was relentless.
“We saw him going in there just now.” She pulled at the old guard’s sleeve. Caroline was standing
beside her.
Kirk’s eyes widened at the sight of Caroline, and his heart started thumping erratically.
Just then, Caroline turned around and looked in his direction. He jumped back from the window,
holding his breath.
He must not let her discover this place. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to explain why he had locked Howard up here.
The voice became softer and softer. However, just when Kirk thought that he could finally heave a sigh of relief, he heard Gwen’s voice once again.
“Huh? This car right here … Do you know which person this car belongs to?”
Slowly and carefully, Kirk peeked out the window, only to realize that the car Gwen was talking
about was the one he had taken here. To make things worse, the chauffeur was still in the car.
When Gwen noticed that the chauffeur was in the vehicle, she darted over to the car at lightning
speed. “Carol-”
Caroline raised her head when she heard Gwen calling out her name, only to see that Gwen had
already dragged the chauffeur out of the car. He was stunned to see Caroline here.
“Answer me, where’s the man who was in your car just now?” Gwen asked in Caroline’s stead.
The chauffeur hesitated. He didn’t speak, but his gaze swept over the landscape behind Caroline.
Although it was a brief and furtive glance, she noticed it. It was as if she was particularly vigilant
and sensitive when it came to anything that was related to Kirk.
She turned to look at the rows of villas. “He’s in one of the villas, right?” She asked, her voice
steely, as she took a few steps forward.
She was on the brink of losing her sanity now. She had played countless scenarios in her mind on
the way here.
Despite the hundreds of possibilities that flashed through her mind just now, one thing was for
sure–she wouldn’t forgive him anymore. It didn’t matter anymore what reason he gave her.
There was no future to look forward to if there were nothing but lies and deception between
husband and wife.
Startled by her outburst, the chauffeur didn’t dare to utter a single word.
Wiping away the tears on her face, Caroline turned and pointed at one of the villas. “Is it this one?”
Helpless, the chauffeur stared at her in silence. She then pointed at another villa. “Is it this one
then?”
However, he continued to stare at her. Holding her breath, Caroline walked and stopped at the door of the third villa. She put her hand on the doorknob and asked, “This?”
The chauffeur’s eyes darted to look elsewhere, and she opened the door without a second thought.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
