Chapter 385

Caroline shuddered. The confusion and bitterness she felt were like countless blades stabbing at her heart. She didn’t know what to do at all.

She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out.

A moment later, she muttered, “Jack, a person can have many sides. What makes you so sure of that?”

Despite her question, determination shone in Jack’s eyes. “Indeed. People have many sides and can hide their true faces,” he replied.

“But in this world, there are two things that cannot be hidden. You can’t hide love, just like you can’t hide a cough.”

“I don’t know what happened between you two. But please remember that Mr. Morrison truly loves you.”

Although Jack found it rather amusing when he saw how Kirk suffered mentally from being in love, he earnestly hoped that Caroline and Kirk would be together until the end.

He had been by Kirk’s side for so many years and knew that his boss had only ever given in when Caroline was around.

The fact that a proud person like him would lower his status for someone else meant that Caroline was very special to him.

“So, even if he lied to me, I should continue believing that he loves me, eh?” Caroline mumbled to herself, and Jack fell silent.

Just when she thought he had nothing else to say, Jack suddenly spoke.

“I don’t know what he lied to you about, but trust me, if he really lied to you, he must have his reasons.”

Kirk had tried everything he could to make sure that Caroline wouldn’t find out about his identity.

He didn’t want her to find out that he was one of the Morrisons and had spent all his effort doing so. This alone was enough to prove how much he would sacrifice for her. Caroline frowned now. She didn’t agree with Jack, yet she couldn’t refute it.

“Let me send you home,” Jack said.

Caroline finally raised her eyes to meet his. She was still in a blur when she looked at him.

A moment later, she followed him in the car, still in a daze. To be frank, she didn’t know for sure if she wanted to go back.

The warm rays of the sun flooded the land when they stopped before the gates of the villa, and suddenly, she seemed to have found her answer.

She stepped out of the car and walked into the villa. Jack watched her enter the house before getting back in the car.

Cheryl propped an elbow on the window and stared curiously at the villa for a moment. Then, she asked, “Jack, is this Caroline’s house?”

Jack revved the engine and said, “Yes.”

“It surely looks like it costs a fortune,” she commented.

“Oh right! Have you seen her husband before? What does he look like? Can you describe him to me?”

Jack’s heart leaped into his mouth when he heard her questions. He laughed it off and said, ”

Cheryl, I haven’t had the muffins you make for quite some time already. Are you free tonight?”

“Are you coming over to my place?” Cheryl beamed. The topic of Caroline’s husband was now gone with the wind.

Jack glanced in the rear–view mirror at a smiling Cheryl and felt his spirits lift. “Yep. Let’s go and Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

buy the ingredients for the muffins then.”

Compared to the joyful ambiance in the car, the villa was shrouded in the usual gloomy atmosphere as before.

Caroline hung her bag on the coat rack and stood still. She could hear the sound of the kitchen hood working and see a familiar figure busying himself in the kitchen.

The sumptuous fragrance of dinner wafted in the air, reminding her of what Jack had just told her not long ago.

“If he really lied to you, he must have his reasons.”

Caroline wasn’t as gullible as she was before. She was no longer the person who had once cared about nothing but Eddy, Now, she knew there were lies that were born of ill intent, and there were white lies too.

Still Marrying two women at a time was by no means a white lie. Unless….
