Chapter 73

While waiting for the elevator, Caroline couldn’t help asking, “Is Eddy’s second uncle really married?

Jude nodded. “That’s right. Now, it seems that his decision for a fast marriage is the right one.”

“A fast marriage? Eddy’s second uncle had one of those as well? Caroline thought.

“By the way, did your husband agree to meet me?” Jude asked.

The topic shifted to Kirk, pulling Caroline from her thoughts. She nodded before she could think about it.

“If that’s the case, let’s book a table at Starlust Hotel.”

“Let me arrange a meeting place instead, Grandpa. Eddy has been looking for him everywhere, so can you please not tel nim atout so meeting?”

“Huh?” Jude raised an eyebrow. He asked, “Why is Eddy looking for him?”

Caroline frowned. “I–I don’t know. Just promise me, Grandpa.”

Jude smiled merrily. “Okay, okay. I won’t tell him. But Carrie, even if you don’t go back to what you walked out on sometimes the mines you’ve walked out on may be the best things you’ve had.”

Caroline rubbed her head. She couldn’t really understand what he meant. Still, she agreed obediently.

“Okay”

Jude looked at Caroline meaningfully. No matter what, he hoped that she could be a part of his family.

In an apartment in Urban Haven, Sean was leaning against the bar, looking at the injury on Kirk’s forehead with great merest Ater pondering for a moment, he took advantage of Kirk’s closed eyes, picked up a bottle, and chucked it at his friend.

Kirk raised his hand, grabbing the bottle.

Sean raised his eyebrows. “I knew it. You’ve always had fast reflexes. Did Ms. Evans cause the wound on your forehead?

Kirk unscrewed the bottle cap, ignoring Sean’s question.

Sean was used to his temper, and he continued asking, “Are you really going to meet Mr. Morrison Senior as CariNE’S NUSIZNI?

Kirk hummed in agreement.

Sean said, “I’m afraid that he won’t agree to your marriage. I’ve heard he dotes on Caroline very much and treats her as his grandcalgne- in–law. If he finds out that you’re her husband, he’ll be pissed.”

Kirk massaged his temples with his slender fingers. He said, “Since he’s proposed to meet, I have to do so.”

“I’m just afraid that …” Sean hesitated.

Although Ivan and Jude were brothers, it was rumored that Ivan had left the country because there was bad blood between frem.. Moreover, the two families had only been in frequent contact in recent years, and their relationship wasn’t as close as June’s reatorsno with an outsider like Caroline.

If Kirk upset Jude, Sean was worried that he would face more opposition for his business in Easton.

Of course, Kirk knew that, but since Caroline wanted him to go, he would do so.

At this moment, the phone rang. Kirk glanced at his phone and answered the call.

“Where are you, Uncle Kirk?”

Kirk didn’t answer but asked in return, “What’s the matter?”

“Grandpa wants us to see him. He said that he has something important to discuss.”

“Okay.” After hanging up the phone, Kirk got up and said, “I’ll be leaving now.”

Sean looked at his retreating figure and shrugged helplessly. He hoped that Jude would accept Kirk’s identity when the time amved.

When Kirk amured at the Morison Manor. Eddy had just finished taking with Jude and came out of the study gentyno in a good mood. Hello, Uncle Kin”

Kirk nodded slightly. He asked, “What did your grandpa tak to you about?

Eddy said unhappily. “He asked me to stop looking for Cample’s husband”

Kink raised an eyebrow, but then he heard Eddy say. “This wil after my purput of Carpine”

Kirk remained silent “Mr. Kirk Simon stepped forward. Mr. Momson Senior is watting for you made.”

Kirk pave a light hum in acknowledgment devoid of any emotion. After emering the study he greeted Jute who was Siting on the armchair. “Uncle Jude”

Jude smiled and said. “You’re here. Come and have a sear.”

Kirk sat across from Jude calmly.

Tm going to see Caroline’s husband the day after tomorrow.” Jube stood up with the support of his waking cane Trave you goter any news about him?

Kirk shook his head.

“Even you can’t find out anything about him. I’m afraid this person isn’t so simple Jure looked a (in and asked. Kincare you fee the day after tomorrow?”

Kirk stood up elegantly. He asked. “Do you want me to go with you Unce Jude”

Jude mused, “That’s right. If even you can’t find out anything about Carpines rustend, he must be a foreigner Shrice you’ve been sorted for many years, you might know him.”

Kirk’s lips curled into a smile. He said. “Pemaps, but I don’t think I can scare the time to rep you”

Jude didn’t insist on him going, and he said. “In that case. I’ll discuss it with you ater mest him in cersion.”

“Okay.”

Two days later, Caroline arranged a meeting place in Grandeworm., a neighboring city, to avoid unnecessary toune.

It was a two–hour drive, so to prevent Kirk from exhausting himself by driving them there. Carbine booked a driver.

However, she got a call from Kirk before she got into the car. He said something had come up at work, so he had to handle it. He asked Caroline to head over to the meeting place first.

Caroline wanted to say something, but Kirk had already hung up the phone in a hurry. She had no choice but to set dits.

If Kirk was late, she could still cover for him. After all this was his first time meeting Jude, and being late could leave a tad impression.

Two hours later, Caroline arrived at the place they had agreed on. There was a row of luxury cars caked in front of the note.

Simon was waiting at the door. When he saw Caroline, he waved her over. “helo. Ms. Evans.”

Caroline hurriedly approached him. “Mr. Zellen has Grandpa amived?”

“Yes, he’s waiting in the private room. Simon looked behind Caroline, asking. Where’s your hussant Caroline said awkwardly, “Something came up at work but he should be coming soon. I’ll go and meet Grandbe first”

‘Okay.” Simon led Caroline to the private room.

Although this was only a five–star hotel it was very elegantly designed and decorated. It suited Jube s taste. When Carsiline entered the private room, Jude praised her, saying, “You know me so well Carrie.
