Chapter 341
Bogus Billionaire
Caroline dragged her tired body over to the door of the presidential suite Looking at the door before her, she couldnât summon the courage to push it open, even after a long time.
Dollyâs words, the pictures that strange woman had sent a few days ago, the suspicious aspects of Kirkâs identity from beforeâthey all floated to the surface, clogging her mind. She found it hard to breathe Everything about Kirk suddenly became a complicated mystery. Who was he? Was that woman really his wife? Did he really have two wives?
Caroline supported herself on the wood of the door and slowly sat down. Memories rushed up in her mind like waves. Weakly, her hands clenched into fists.
She wanted to rush in there, shake Kirk, and get a clear explanation from him. But she had no energy to do so at all After sitting at the door for a long time, she finally regained some strength and took out the access card. When the door opened, Caroline went inside and found Kirk on the bed, already sleeping deeply.
His features were relaxed, and he seemed to be sleeping very comfortably. He looked completely unguarded.
There was a complicated look in Carolineâs eyes as she watched him. Had he tricked her?
She squeezed her eyes shut. She didnât have an answer in her heart.
Her body started to sway, so Caroline supported herself against the wall as she made her way to the side of the bed. After some hesitation, she raised a hand and put it over Kirkâs forehead.
The next moment, Kirk caught hold of her hand.
Caroline shivered violently. Before she could react, Kirk pulled her into his embrace.
He was smiling as he rubbed his head against Carolineâs hair. âDarling, youâre back.â
Carolineâs head was pillowed on Kirkâs chest as she listened to his strong heartbeat. Tears stung her eyes, but she held them forcefully back as she gripped the sheets.
âWhy do you smell of alcohol?â Kirkâs voice was low, but Caroline could tell that it was clouded.
with sleep.
âDid you drink?â
Caroline let go of the sheets and made a noise in answer.
Take me along the next time you want to drink Kirk held Caroline tightly, as if trying to communicate with her through his actions alone.
âItâs dangerous to drink alone as a woman.â
Caroline felt an even stronger urge to cry. Would Kitk lie to her when he was always like this?
Caroline didnât sleep all night. She finally drifted off to sleep as the sun rose the next morning. By the time she opened her eyes, it was already noon.
Kirk was sitting by the bed, looking at his phone. When he heard the noise, he stood up and walked over. Touching Carolineâs forehead, he said, âDarling.â
Caroline wanted to hide from his touch, but it felt like her entire body was too heavy.
âDonât move around,â Kirk warned her quietly.
âYouâre having a low fever. Iâve asked someone to bring medicine already.â
Caroline moved her lips and found that her throat was very dry, as if she hadnât drank any water in days.
âDo you want some water?â Kirk turned smoothly to get her a glass of water, then went back and helped her up to drink it.
Caroline was weak all over. Although she wanted to avoid Kirk, she didnât have the energy to do so.
Besides, she was actually a little glad that she was sick.
While she was sick, she wouldnât have to wonder whether Kirk was the liar here or that woman.
After drinking the water, Caroline closed her eyes again.
Kirk assumed that Caroline felt uncomfortable due to her fever. He kissed her forehead and didnât say anything further, not wanting to disturb Carolineâs rest.
Soon, the hotel staff sent some medicine over. The medicine was Macovianâmade, so Kirk was worried about side effects. He got up, took the medicine, and went to look for Sean.
When Caroline heard the door close, she finally found the strength to open her eyes.
