Chapter 280

Sean dropped Caroline off at Thorne Corp before driving Gwen to the city center When they reached the underground parking lot, Gwen was about to take off her seat belt when Sean held her hand.

Gwen’s heart skipped a beat, but she pretended to be calm. She asked, “What are you doing?”

“Don’t you have anything to say?” Sean asked in return, looking at Gwen with a tender smile.

Gwen’s heart beat wildly as he watched her. She said insincerely, “What?”

Sean moved closer, maintaining an appropriate distance.

He said, “I helped your friend today, you know…”

He looked at her, silently asking for a reward.

Η Although there was a distance between them, Gwen could still feel Sean’s breath on her cheeks.

She felt uneasy and wanted to cover her face.

Sean grabbed her wrist and stared at her with a burning gaze.

“Gwen, I know you’re not ready to take the next step, but I’m not in a hurry. But you have to give me a treat once in a while so that I can have some hope as I wait for your answer” He spoke as sincerely as a devout follower.

Gwen shivered slightly. She asked quietly, “What do you want?”

“Anything is fine, even just a pat on my head.”

Gwen’s hands trembled. After a long while, she whispered, “Let go of me first.”

Sean did as she said Gwen gently cupped his cheek and kissed him on the lips “How about this?”

She looked at him boldly, but her bashfulness could be seen on her face Sean’s heart was beating fast. Holding back the smile on his lips, he said, “Yeah, that’s a mice treat.

Enough for me to last a long time.”

Gwen looked at him shyly, and her face clowly turned red. She unbuckled the seatbelt and said. Im going to work.”

15 RONGS After watching her leave the car, Sean said, “Darling, do I get this treatment as long as I help Caroline?”

“You’re insane ” Gwen glared at him. But when she turned around, she couldn’t stop her lips from curling into a smule.

Sean rubbed his lips with his fingertips, smiling foolishly. It wasn’t until he heard a honk behind him that he returned to his senses. He realized he was blocking the way and quickly drove away.

On the way, he got a call from Kirk..

“Caroline hasn’t bought a wedding dress yet,” he said quickly, knowing what Kirk would ask as soon as he answered the phone.

He recounted what happened just now to his friend and sighed, “Caroline considers your feelings.

all the time. How could you lie to her, saying you’re a poor man?”

“Since when did I say that?” Kirk retorted, narrowing his eyes.

As he tapped his fingers on the table, the image of Caroline’s heartbroken expression appeared in his mind, and his frown deepened.

“The middle management of Morrison Corp only earns 20 to 30 thousand dollars annually.

Although Evans Group is in decline, look at the people Caroline has interacted with as she grew up.

Aren’t you just poor in her eyes?”

Kirk remained silent.

“But you don’t have to worry.” Sean laughed.

“I just thought of a good way to help you. You can tell Caroline that you won one billion dollars in a lottery. Then, you can live in peace without worrying about keeping your secret.”

Kirk smirked. “Are you saying this to help me or yourself?”
