Chapter 343

Kirk was violently taken aback.

His first thought was that his identity had been exposed.

But soon, he calmed down again and thought carefully about the people Caroline had come into contact with. He didn’t recall anyone giving anything away.

As Kirk fell deep into thought, Caroline watched him carefully. Seeing that he didn’t answer after a long time, her heart fell.

She closed her eyes again and said, “I’m so tired. I want to sleep for a while.”

She didn’t dare to hear Kirk’s answer. She had always believed that Kirk wouldn’t lie to her. Her conviction on this had never wavered. But now, her confidence was destroyed.

The trust that she had had in him seemed like a joke now.

“Darling …”

“Let’s go back to Easton tomorrow.” Caroline turned over, facing her back to Kirk.

Kirk froze for a bit, his brain lagging for a few seconds. He had already made preparations to tell Caroline about his connection to the Morrison family. But he hadn’t expected that Caroline would react this way. His tense posture slowly relaxed.

At least Caroline hadn’t immediately wanted a divorce… or said that she never wanted to see him again.

“Alright, you have a good rest. Kirk tried his best to make his tone as soft as possible and his motions gentle.

Caroline squeezed her eyes shut. Her mind was in a blur, making her incapable of processing her thoughts coherently. Soon, she fell asleep.

When she woke up again and opened her eyes, Caroline saw several figures around her.

“Carol, you’re awake?” Gwen sounded anxious.

“How are you? Do you feel any better?”

Caroline sat up to find that her head didn’t feel as heavy anymore. “Yes,” she said.

“Let me get you some water.” Saying that, Gwen went off to get the water.

Right then, Caroline realized that sleep had truly dazed her. Gwen was the only one in the room, and there hadn’t been others.

“Where are Sean and Kirk?”

“I don’t know Gwen patted her chest with lingering fear.

“While Sean and I were out, we got a call from Kirk. He sounded very serious. As soon as we came back, Sean and Kirk left. I think something big must have happened, and they need to discuss it.”

Gwen handed the water to Caroline. After taking a sip, Caroline felt much better. She eyed the door.

“How long have they been out?”

“More than an hour.”

Caroline’s lips thinned. After a moment of silence, she asked, “Gwen, you’re a bystander. Do you think Kirk loved me?”

Gwen found it weird that Caroline was asking this. “What’s wrong?” (1)

“Can you answer me first? I want the truth. Don’t lie to me.”

Caroline was afraid that she wasn’t looking at things clearly because of how invested she was, Gwen hummed for a while. “They say that you’re the only one who can judge the love you receive.

You’re the one who knows whether it’s true or not. So I really don’t think I can give you a definite answer.

“But if you ask me, from where I’m standing, I can see that Kirk really loves you. Think about it. Just the matter of you competing to be the CEO of Evans Group…‘

When she got to that point, Gwen went quiet.
