Chapter 414
Bogus Billionaire
Caroline only regamed her composure after blinking desperately several times 1 Gwen was exasperated that Caroline hadnât considered this âCarol, if you havenât considered i before, you can start doing so âKirkâs polygamy is a sure thing, and I donât want you to destroy yourself in this relationship A great philosopher once said that the best way to move on from a relationship is time or another personâ
Seeing Caroline remain silent, Gwen frowned in disapproval. âOr do you plan to forgive him and spend your life sharing him with another woman?â
Caroline remembered her nightmare on the plane, and her face turned pale.
She shook her head. âNo! I donât want that!â
This was a matter of principle. If there were a third person in this relationship, she would rather not be a part of it.
âThen, are you-â
At this time, there was another knock on the door. Adrian asked, âDid something happen, Caroline?
âWeâre coming!â Gwen responded, holding Carolineâs hand. âCarol, you donât have to come up with an answer right now. Just think this through. Itâs an important decision.â
Caroline nodded blankly, âLetâs go have some food for now.â
Caroline took several deep breaths, forcing the issue to the back of her mind. Then, she followed Gwen to the restaurant, However, when she saw the many couples in the restaurant, Gwenâs question resurfaced in her mind.
âWhatâs wrong, Carol?â Adrian had noticed how absentminded Caroline had been all night, and he couldnât help but worry, âCarol!â Gwen noticed it as well. She gently patted the back of Carolineâs hand.
âDid you not get enough rest on the plane?â
Caroline returned to her senses and saw Gwen giving her a look.
Her head felt like mush. She was dizzy, and she couldnât hear anything. She could only nod her head, trusting Gwen to handle things.
âThen, Iâll take you back to our room.â Gwen put down the cutlery and called the staff to pack their food.
Adrian didnât see the point in eating alone, so he also stood up.
The three of them returned to the third floor together. At the door to their room, Gwen supported Caroline and said to Adrian with a smile, âSleep well, Mr. Sorkin.â
Adrian looked at Caroline worriedly. âJust knock on my door if you need anything.â
Gwen nodded. She helped Caroline into the room and then gave her a glass of water.
âCarol, was I wrong to remind you about it?â She looked at Caroline, feeling very regretful. Caroline wouldnât be so troubled if she hadnât brought it up.
Caroline returned to her senses and hurriedly waved her hands.
âNo, you were right to do that. Haha, you know, itâs funny how Iâve never considered divorcing Kirk, even after finding out he has multiple marriages.
âWhat do you think is wrong with me? Were my limits that lax? But I was never this forgiving when I found out Eddy and Layla were together â
Gwen felt helpless looking at Carolineâs hurt and confused expression. She was worried for her friend.
She had only asked Caroline about divorce because of Adrian. The way he looked at Caroline was clearly anything but platonic.
Gwen had never considered bringing Caroline and Adrian together, but when she saw how hurt Caroline was, she realized there was no point in her friend giving up everything for one man.
That was why she asked Caroline about divorcing. However, she now really regretted doing so.
âCarol, is there anything I can do to make you feel better? Gwen held Carolineâs hand, feeling very uneasy Caroline weakly shook her head. âIâm fine. I. I have to deal with the divorce eventually.â
She closed her eyes and let out another breath. Then, as if she had made a big decision, she said, â
But Iâll handle this after we return to Easton.â
Although running away from a problem was disgraceful, she could at least enjoy herself in Macovo for the time being.
âOkay.â Gwen squeezed Carolineâs hand, wanting to give every bit of her strength to her.
