Chapter 115

At the convenience store, Caroline bought a few pieces of bread and a few bottles of water.

Gwen asked her curiously, “Why are you buying water?” There were cold drinks at the barbecue restaurant.

Caroline couldn’t help but blush. “I want some regular water.”

Gwen sauntered to her, asking, “Is it for you, or are you buying it for Kirk?”

“It’s for me, all right?” Caroline took another water bottle before asking Gwen, “What’s going on between you and Sean?”

“Huh? Nothing!” Gwen felt a little sheepish. There really wasn’t anything between her and Sean, so she had no clue why she was acting like this.

“Oh, really?” Caroline stared straight into Gwen’s eyes, making the latter feel a little awkward.

“Carol, didn’t I promise I wouldn’t pursue him?”

Caroline said, “If you really like him, I don’t mind.”

Gwen waved her hand. “Forget it. Both his work and family are abroad. Who knows when he’ll be leaving this place? Long distance relationships are too difficult.”

Her friend’s words took Caroline aback. Kirk’s family was abroad as well. Would she be separated from him in the future as well?

“Enough about me. What’s going on between you and Kirk? And who was the woman from before?”

Gwen asked.

On the way here, Sean had asked Gwen about the woman Kirk was with. She’d said she didn’t know who the woman was, but he’d insisted that she find out from Caroline, claiming that he wanted to clear his friend’s name.

The light in Caroline’s eyes dimmed instantly.

“If you don’t want to say it, forget that I asked,” Gwen said hastily.

Caroline walked out of the convenience store with her bag in her hand, feeling a big weight on her chest. She took a long breath, bracing herself, and said, “It’s Brie.”

Gwen’s expression shifted “What the actual fuck! Why was he seeing her, of all people? Wait right here I’m going to give him the scolding he deserves After talking, she stormed towards the barbecue restaurant across the street.

Seeing this, Caroline hurriedly chased after Gwen, trying to stop her.

However, it was too late Gwen had already let her anger cloud her judgment.

Wanting to stand up for her friend, Gwen pointed at Kirk and yelled, “Are you doing this on purpose? You clearly know that Carol and Brie don’t get along, but you’re still seeing a bitch like her!”

Sean was stunned for a moment before realizing what Gwen was doing “She’s scolding Kirk! Does she want to die?” he thought.

Sean stood up and held back the agitated Gwen. “Calm down, Gwen!”

Caroline rushed over as well. She looked at Kirk, out of breath.

Kirk narrowed his eyes slightly. He glanced at the agitated Gwen and then at Caroline. “Brie? Who said we were together?”

Although Sean had restrained Gwen, he hadn’t covered her mouth. Kirk’s question added fuel to the fire, making Gwen even angrier.

She yelled, “I can’t believe you’re still trying to deny it! When Carol took supper for you at work that night, she saw you two with her own eyes. Also, the lipstick you brought home must belong to Brie, right?”

The customers at the restaurant all turned over to look at the commotion.

Caroline blocked Gwen and said to Sean, “Sean, can you please take her away?”

Sean nodded and dragged Gwen away.

The people in the restaurant didn’t take their eyes off Caroline’s table. She quickly went to pay the bill.

“Let’s go.”

Kirk sat still. He only looked at her when she pulled him up, and emotions seemed to be swirling in his eyes.

The two walked to the car one after the other After getting in the car. they drove away from the birby downtown area Caroline said bitterty, I’m sorry. Gwen is just-

Kirk interrupted her, his attractive voice echoing in the car “Were you there just to bring me upper that night?”

Caroline frowned and said stubbornly. “No”

Kirk leaned over and gently lifted Caroline’s jaw with his fingers His eyes showed a trace of liveliness, and he was full of smiles. “But Gwen said you were ”

“No–

Caroline felt his lips pressing against hers, and all thoughts left her mind. She had already forgotten what she was going to say In contrast to his usual heavy–handedness, Kirk was kissing her gently and delicately this time.

Caroline’s breathing gradually became rapid, and she wrapped her arms around Kirk’s neck She whispered, “Kirk”

Kirk looked back at her. In the cramped space of the car, his gaze looked ferocious. “Scream my name.”

Caroline bit her lip, shaking her head vehemently.

Kirk placed kisses on Caroline’s delicate collarbone, gently nibbling on it. He looked at her bewitchingly ‘Scream my name. I know you want to.”

Caroline’s lips parted slightly, and she said hoarsely, “You’re bullying me again, Kirk.”

Seeing this, Kirk hugged her dearly. “I’m not bullying you. I just miss you. Listen-*

He hugged Caroline even tighter, and Caroline could feel his body heat and steady heartbeat thanks to how close their bodies were.

Her body stiffened, and she said sadly, “But I don’t want to fight with Brie over you…”

Kirk bit Caroline’s lips. He said, “There’s nothing between Brie and I.”

Looking at Kirk with tearful eyes, Caroline said, “I saw her wearing a diamond ring that day, and she said that it was from you…”

A murderous glint briefly appeared in Kirk’s eyes.

Then, he caressed Caroline’s cheek with all the tenderness he could muster and kissed away her tears “That ring is supposed to be for you.”

Caroline blinked her eyes. She couldn’t believe what she heard.

Kirk said, “We’re already married, but I haven’t bought you a ring. I’m a failure as a husband. That ring is still in my office. I’ll get it for you.”

Caroline blushed. She hadn’t expected this to be the truth. In an instant, something filled up her empty heart.

She asked again, “So, there’s really nothing between you and Brie?”

Kirk started the car. “Yeah.”

The weight on Caroline’s chest lifted, and when she quickly glanced at Kirk, her face turned bright red.

Kirk set up the GPS on the console. “Then, let’s go home.”

They were only ten minutes away from the villa, but it would take them half an hour to get to the company. He didn’t want to wait any longer.

Caroline nodded. After getting her consent, Kirk stepped on the gas pedal. They arrived at the villa within just five minutes.

Kirk parked the car randomly and quickly walked into the villa with Caroline in his arms.

The two of them got started without even turning on the lights. They had waited for this moment for a long time.
