Chapter 632

“Don’t tell me that she promised Eddy to divorce you so that she can marry him! Sean snapped his eyes up to look at Kirk, who still had his eyes closed.

“No. She told me that she would stay with me no matter what I don’t think she’s thinking of leaving me.”

“What are you worrying about then?” asked Sean.

Everything was fine as long as Caroline didn’t make a reckless decision regarding this.

Sitting up from the couch, Kirk stared directly into Sean’s eyes.

“Do you think she’ll feel okay after what has happened?” Kirk’s voice was so icy that it rendered Sean speechless.

Indeed, as long as Caroline wasn’t rid of that thorn in her side, she could never feel at ease, even if she stayed by Kirk’s side.

“I’ve contacted some psychologists in Macldo. They’ll arrive soon.” Sean couldn’t utter any words.

of comfort. All he could do was ask the team of psychologists to come here as soon as possible.

“Thanks,” said Kirk.

“No worries. We’re bros, after all,” said Sean as he helped Kirk bandage the wound.

“Have you decided what you’re going to tell Caroline when you go back?” asked Sean.

“You can’t just show up injured like this without an explanation.”

“Yeah.”

“I’ll head outside then.” Sean took one last glance at Kirk before leaving the room.

Before leaving the office, he warned Charles not to piss Kirk off for the time being.

Charles couldn’t help but wonder aloud, “Did he get into a fight with the madam?”

“No. It’s worse than getting into a fight with her,” Sean told him.

“Just be extra careful this time.”

Sean left right after that, leaving Charles standing puzzled and clueless.

After calming down, Kirk composed himself and dialed Caroline’s number.

She answered the call almost immediately. “Kirk, why didn’t you answer my calls?”

She had called him several times after she had woken up and found that he wasn’t at home with her.

He hadn’t answered any of her calls, so she had sent him a text as well.

However, he hadn’t called her or texted her back, even in the afternoon. She had then decided to go to the Morrisons‘ house to see for herself.

Coincidentally, Kirk had called her just as she had started the car engine.

“Sorry, darling,” he said. He lowered his voice when he spoke, but she could sense the exhaustion in it.

“I just got off the plane.”

Caroline’s heart leaped into her throat. “Are you out on a business trip? Didn’t you say that it was nothing serious?”

“Yeah, don’t worry. It’s not a big deal,” he said.

“But I need two to three days to settle things here, so I can’t stay with you at home for some time.”

“No worries.” Caroline comforted him.

“You must be tired. Why don’t you resign?”

“If you think that you’ll get bored later, you can come to Evans Group,” she suggested.

“I don’t feel like working these days, anyway.”

“Darling…” Kirk’s voice trailed off.

“What’s wrong?”

“You’re so sweet that you make me want to kiss you.”

Caroline’s face flushed red. “You bastard! I was being serious!”

“Me too. Gimme a kiss, and I’ll recover all my strength right away,” said Kirk.

“Come on, gimme a kiss, darling.”

Caroline sighed. He really left her with no choice. Eventually, she gave him a smooch. “Happy “I feel as if I had just had a good, long nap.” Kirk hummed.

“Darling, you’re my savior, my superwoman.”

“Nonsense.” Caroline wanted to roll her eyes at him. Just as she was about to nag him for something, a notification popped up, telling her that Gwen had just sent her a voice message.

“I’m going to hang up. Gwen has something to tell me,” she told Kirk.

“Remember to tell me right away if something’s up, alright? I called you, but you didn’t answer.

Don’t let this happen again.”

“Okay,” replied Kirk. His grip on his phone tightened as if he were holding Caroline’s hand instead of his phone.
