Chapter 168

Right then, Eddy’s displeased voice came from the door ‘Grandpa I’m home.”

The next second, he saw Caroline standing next to Jude and froze.

Dressed in office clothes, Caroline had lost her cautious persona She looked like a confident professional It made it impossible for Eddy to look away from her.

Eddy swallowed. He asked, “When did you get back? 2 Caroline said blandly, “A few days ago”

Then, she turned to Jude “I’m leaving now, Grandpa‘

Since Jude was there, Caroline could only ask Eddy as she walked past him, “Mr. Eddy, could you step out with me for a second?”

Eddy could just about smell her womanly scent. It made his heart skip a beat. He nodded almost Instinctively After he nodded, Eddy regretted it a bit. He quickly said, “Whatever you have to say can be said here”

Caroline’s eyebrows furrowed She ignored Eddy and walked out.

Eddy thinned his lips. He groaned but followed Caroline anyway.

Seeing this, Jude shook his head helplessly. When would his silly grandson realize that he’d fallen in love with Caroline?

When he recalled the gathering with Kirk a few days later, Jude’s eyes turned cold.

He hoped that he was overthinking things.

Eddy stopped after following Caroline outside.

“What’s so important that you can only talk about it outside?” Eddy leaned against the doorframe and asked coldly. There was amusement in his eyes.

Caroline took the necklace out of her bag and held it out to Eddy. Then, she took out a stack of money.

“I had someone to clean up the roses. This is the money for the flowers.”

The amusement in Eddy’s eyes disappeared. “Caroline, I’ve already given in. And I don’t mind that this will be your second marriage. Shouldn’t you give it a rest?”

Caroline was amused by his words. “Thank you, Mr. Eddy, but I don’t need to.”

With that, Caroline turned around and left.

Indy went up and caught Carotines hand ‘What else do you want? Do you want me to beg before you stop playing hard to get?

He admitted that he’d panicked when Caroline met her husband’s parents He wanted people to do as they had in the past and think of him when they saw Caroline And not her useless husband‘

Caroline frowned and flung Eddy’s hand off. “I don’t know why you think I’m playing some sort of game I already gave up on you when you asked me to give my kidney to Layla”

Eddy was taken aback. He wanted to hold Caroline again, but he missed her.

The disappointment within him rose Eddy felt pained, and he raised a hand to press against his heart.

When Caroline got into the car, she rubbed her forehead.

“Ms. Evans?”

“Let’s go home.”

“Alright.”

Jack started the car and drove off.

Caroline slowly calmed down. As she looked at the changing scenery outside, she suddenly felt like laughing.

Eddy’s acting skills were superb.

For a second, she had really believed that Eddy had fallen for her.

As she mocked herself, the car suddenly shook.

Before Caroline could react, the car sped off faster. It flew like an arrow down the street.

Caroline gripped the seat belt and asked, “Mr. Jack, what’s going on?”
