Avery was to mad that she thought she would explode After a mavent, she clenched her jaw and 3. 3.

way the moment the tam your pant Kirk sneered and red to leave Came 21 that kind of person‘

His reply pushed Avery to the brack of sanity She rushed to hug him from behind.

Kirk, why can’t you just believe me? We’ve known each other for 27 years! You’ve only just met her Why don’t you believe me, even if it’s just for once?”

Kok flung her hands away from him. His voice was as cold as ice when he said, “Avery, I’m married.

You’re crossing the line”

“Yes, I know that She put her arms around him again and yelled, “I should’ve done this a long time ago 1 love you, Kirk She continued. “Back then, I thought it was inappropriate for a girl to be the one to confess, but I can’t wait any longer I don’t care about that anymore. Losing you is worse than anything else”

Kirk pried her arms away from him again and warned her, “I’m a married man.”

“I don’t mind if you’re married Your marriage is fake, after all.” Avery refused to relent.

Kirk turned to look at her with his cold, piercing eyes. They seemed distant more than ever now.

“I’ll repeat this one last time Caroline and I are married for real. I’ve decided to spend the rest of my life with her His words were like a bomb detonating right in front of her.

Her body swayed, and she stumbled backward as she tried to deny the truth. “No! You’re lying to me.

You must be lying.”

Furrowing his brows, Kirk took a final glance at her and rushed downstairs.

At the same time, Caroline had just arrived at the entrance of the castle.

Both of them bumped into each other at the door. She caught his scent and looked up to see his face.

The fear that had been gripping her heart finally disappeared.

“Kirk!” She called out his name in relief.

Kirk placed one arm around her waist and asked, “Are you okay?” Her face was pale.

Caroline sniffed and shook her head to let him know that she was fine. “Why did you pass out all of a sudden?”

Kirk didn’t want her to worry about him. He leaned closer to her and whispered into her ear, Maybe it’s because I indulged myself a little too much with you around.”

Instantly, Caroline’s face flushed red. “This isn’t the time to joke!”

Kirk kissed her on the lips, only to discover just how cold they were against his. They were even trembling.

He glanced at Caroline and lifted her up bridal–style. “I’m taking you home.”

Avery watched their interaction from the second–floor balcony. Jealousy seeped into every inch of her body.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and she clenched her hands with so much force that her fingernails dug into her palms.

After getting into the car, Caroline remembered that she had called Kirk’s father before she came.

“Dad’s on the way here. You should call him now that you’re alright. Don’t let him worry about you.

Kirk took out his phone to call Ivan. He ended the call soon after he’d told Ivan that he was fine.

Caroline felt totally worn out after everything that had happened today. She slumped against the seat and murmured, “Wake me up when we’re there.”

Kirk hummed in response as he reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear.

Once Caroline drifted off to sleep, he got out of the car and bent over to pick her up and place her in the back seat.

He gently moved her into a comfortable position before starting the engine and hitting the road.

Later, he parked the car at the entrance of the hotel and carried her into the lobby.

When Henry saw Kirk enter, the drowsiness he felt vanished without a trace. He rushed forth to greet them both. “Mr-”

However, Kirk shot him a glance and said, “Get some hot chocolate ready.”

Henry wasted no time running to the kitchen.

Then, Kirk took Caroline up to the presidential suite and placed her on the bed. Soon after, Henry came with a flask of hot chocolate, two mugs, and a bag of medicine.

“Mr. Kirk, I had the staff buy some medicine to treat a cold and fever. There’s also iodine for the injury on her feet,” he said.

A shadow flitted across Kirk’s face. “Her feet?“

Avery was to mad that she thought she would explode After a mavent, she clenched her jaw and 3. 3.
