Chapter 564

Kirk would always be there for her.

Caroline slowly dozed off in his arms. In her sleep, she dreamed that she was the mother of three children, all of whom were very beautiful and lovable.

They would surround her and call her ‘mommy‘. She gradually lost herself in their affectionate calls.

Just as she was consumed with joy, the three children suddenly grew up. Each of them held a knife in their hand, pointing it at her. Their cute expressions were replaced with ferocious ones.

One by one, they shouted, “It’s all because of you that we ended up like this.

“You didn’t raise us well.”

“Hurry up and give us some money, you old hag!”

Caroline opened her eyes in fright.

Her sudden movements naturally woke up Kirk as well. He looked down at Caroline and asked, What’s wrong, darling?”

”

Caroline looked up at Kirk in confusion before shaking her head. “Nothing. I just had a nightmare.”

Kirk said, “I’ll get you some water.”

“No, it’s fine.”

Caroline urgently grabbed Kirk’s hand. She kept her body arched, forcibly nestling herself into Kirk’s arms as if she could dispel the chills she felt.

Kirk asked helplessly, “Darling, can I take this as you trying to entice me?”

Caroline’s face turned red at his words, and her phone rang just as she was about to speak.

She looked at her phone. It was an unfamiliar number, and it was an international call. Hesitantly, she answered the call.

Then, she heard a strange yet familiar voice on the phone.

“Is this Caroline? I’ve already written the first part of my new play. Do you want to read it?”

Caroline froze for a moment before realizing that the caller should be Marietta.

She looked at the time, and she understood. It was probably still daytime where Marietta was, so she didn’t realize it was already late at night in Easton.

Marietta was a sentimental person. She had even remembered to send Caroline her play.

“Of course, why don’t you send it over?” Caroline asked, sitting up on the bed. Since she couldn’t sleep after her nightmare, she could read the play to pass the time.

Marietta quickly sent the script to Caroline.

Caroline told Kirk she couldn’t sleep and went to the couch to read the play. Kirk poured her a glass of water and sat by her side to keep her company.

Marietta’s play was so well written that Caroline was hooked after reading a few lines. When she finished the part and looked forward to more, she realized Kirk had already fallen asleep.

She stood up quietly. After covering Kirk with a blanket, she sent a text to Marietta.

“I’ve finished your masterpiece. You wrote it so well. When it comes to commenting on current affairs, your precise and rare point of view is always a delight.”

Marietta quickly replied, “I’m definitely good at writing things I’m familiar with. Unfortunately, I’m a mess when describing family relationships.”

Caroline smiled and texted, “Maybe it’s because you have a very happy family life. That’s why you don’t have much experience in this aspect.”

It had been a while since Caroline sent the message, but Marietta didn’t reply. She didn’t think much of it and picked up the phone to reread Marietta’s new play.

It was when she finished reading it that she noticed Marietta had replied to her text.

“No, it’s precisely because I have a miserable family life.” 1 Caroline was shocked by her message. She had never expected someone as successful as Marietta to have a bad family life!
