Chapter 291

Once Caroline settled matters regarding Evans Group, she had much more free time for a few days.

Just as she had nothing to do, she received a call from Gwen.

“Carol, I have tomorrow off. Do you want to go and pick out a wedding gown together tomorrow?”

When it came to buying a wedding gown, Gwen was even more excited than Caroline was.

Caroline smiled. “Sure.”

“Didn’t you want to have your pictures taken in Macovo? I heard it snows there all year. Do you want to take ski equipment there too?”

Caroline wasn’t sure about it. “I don’t think we have that much time there.”

Hearing this, Gwen said, “That’s true. But I would really love to go with you to take your photos.”

Caroline leased, “You really want to go?”

“Yes.”

“Then why don’t you quickly make Sean official?*

Gwen scoffed. “I’m not talking to you anymore. I’ve noticed you’re biased toward him.”

Caroline smiled. After she hung up, she finished work and went home.

Kirk had come home early today, and he had cooked.

When Caroline saw Kirk busying himself in the kitchen, her fatigue disappeared. It seemed there were really some people who could soothe her and dispel her exhaustion when she saw them.

“What are you doing standing at the door?” Kirk turned to look at Caroline, smiling.

“Are you so stunned by how handsome I am that you can’t even move anymore?”

“I think your mouth is getting more and more out of control.” Caroline pulled out a chair and sat down.

Kirk handed her some cutlery. “This has always been my nature.”

Caroline looked up at him and thought of how things had been when she first met him. “Is it? If so, then this matches how things were when we first met.”

Kirk thought back to when they had first met too. He smiled wider. “What kind of a person did you think I was back then?”

“Frivolous. It was obvious you weren’t serious about anybody when it came to relationships.”

Kirk wiped away a sauce stain from the corner of Caroline’s lips. Then, he smoothly put his finger in his mouth to lick the sauce.

This action was an unconscious one, but it was unintentionally seductive.

Caroline hurriedly lowered her head. Looking at the food on her plate, she kept thinking of what Kirk had just done. She had no choice but to look up again.

“So you suspected that I had another woman back then?”

Thinking back on the misunderstanding back then, Kirk wanted to laugh. But when he thought of Daphne, he couldn’t laugh at all Caroline nodded.

Kirk’s heart lodged itself in his throat. He played with Caroline’s hair with one hand while his other hand was clenched into a fist out of sight.

“If it were true back then, what would you have done?”

“Back then Caroline couldn’t remember anymore..

“I forgot. But if you dare to find another woman now, I’ll never let you off.”

Kirk clenched his hand tighter. Even so, he still smiled brighter. That’s right. I won’t After saving s uted to sweal *IS BONUS “Is it really hot Seeing the sweat on Kirk’s forehead, Caroline wanted to get up to get him some issues. But he caught her wrist.

“It’s not that,” he said, smoothly pulling Caroline into his arms. He kissed her, slowly urging her to open her lips.

Caroline was caught unawares by the sudden flurry of kiss upward slightly, and her waist was pressed tightly against Kir Her hands unconsciously came to rest on Virk’s chest. Her head tilted Later, Caroline stayed in Kirk’s embrace, unwilling to move at all. She pointed at the food on the table and said, “It’s all cold now”

Kirk Kissed Caroline’s earlobe. “I’ll go heat it up.”

At that, he suddenly thought of the way Sean had described him, Henpecked.

He smiled as he drew his finger downward, picking up a strand of Caroline’s hair. “Darling.”

Caroline replied weakly, “Hm?”

Kirk, lowered his head to press his forehead against Caroline’s. His warm breath brushed Caroline’s trembling eyelashes.

“But I’m still a little hungry. I don’t have the strength to go and heat up the food. What do we do now?”

As he spoke, Kirk’s lips landed on Caroline’s again. Then he moved to her neck, then-

Some time later, Kirk helped Caroline shower before going to the kitchen to heat up the food.

Caroline stood in a bathrobe in the kitchen, watching Kirk reheat the food. She was so exhausted that she stumped against the frame of the sliding door.

Kirk said. “Go and rest. I’ll call you when the food’s ready.” I Caroline pressed her lips together and shook her head. “I nearly forgot. I want to talk to you about something.”

Kirk’s heart skipped a beat. He recalled how Caroline had met Daphne a few days ago.

She asked. “Didn’t you say you wanted to quit a few days ago?”

When Caroline didn’t mention Daphne at all, Kirk’s straight back relaxed a bit. “Yes.”

“Can you wait a little?”

Kirk looked up at her in confusion.

“I’m thinking of handing over Mackey Group to you.”

Before Kirk could answer, she continued, “I’ve done the research. The Mackeys are in the coffee business.

“Although they’re not doing so well now, they used to be a very reputable coffee shop chain. They have the connections and resources. If you take over, you can use their resources.”

Kirk listened intently to everything Caroline said. In his eyes, Mackey Group wasn’t a good enough company. Before, he wouldn’t even have listened.

But since it was Caroline, he thought about it seriously, “Are you planning to acquire Mackey Group?”

“Yes, but I can’t do it right now. If I take over Evans Group, I’m confident that I can acquire Mackey Group in half a year.”

Kirk walked over and hugged Caroline’s waist, supporting her so she could stand more easity.

“Are you really going to take care of me like I’m your sugar baby?”

Caroline rubbed against Kirk’s chest. Yes.”

Kirk laughed as he pinched Caroline’s waist. He picked her up and brought her to the couch.

“Sure, but…”

He looked down at Caroline, his shadow stretching out behind him. “I can support you too.”

Even if the price of it was Caroline’s rejection once his identity was exposed.

Seeing the serious look in Kirk’s eyes, Caroline’s heart skipped a beal. “Okay.”

As Kirk held Caroline, his eyes started to sting.

At this moment of warmth, Caroline smelled something burning. She hurriedly pushed Kirk away. “Th–
