Chapter 776
Bogus Billionaire
Caroline was quiet. The call went silent for a while.
Soon, Caroline smiled. âActually, it doesnât matter if you know me or not. Iâve already lost my memories.â
âI think you were someone important to me before I lost my memories. Otherwise, I wouldnât have typed your number so easily,â she continued.
Kirk tilted his head against the cold wall. He had so many things that he wanted to say, but he couldnât.
âAlthough Gwen didnât say anything, I can tell that she doesnât want me to remember the person in my memories. She even refuses to bring up the kind of memories I lost.
âPerhaps she fears that it will worsen my condition. Mr. Y, youâre not going to tell me who you are, are you?
Caroline didnât expect the other party to give her an answer. âMr. Y, Iâm never going to ask about your identity again. Can you please still accept my call in the future?â
Obviously, she couldnât recall if there was anyone in her life who would ignore her if she asked them about their identity. Still, she felt a burning fear in her heart.
She thought that Mr. Y would refuse to take her call because she had asked such a question.
âOkay. Iâll always take your call,â Kirk answered, clutching his chest where his heart was.
Every single word that Caroline said had been like knives slowly stabbing his heart and torturing him.
âYouâre so nice,â Caroline muttered.
The duo fell silent, letting the call continue as the duration on the screen increased.
The warm moment was disrupted when footsteps sounded outside the door.
âEddy must be back.â
Caroline was hesitant. âI need to hang up now.â
âOkay.â
Although the call had ended, Kirk still felt that there were knives piercing him. However, there was nothing.
he could do. He could only sit there like a prisoner.
Suddenly, he grabbed the chair beside him and flung it.
At that moment, his phone rang again.
His darkened orbs lit up instantly. However, they soon turned gloomy when he saw that Bryan was calling, not Caroline.
He picked up the phone indifferently. âHello.â His voice sounded hostile.
To his surprise, Averyâs voice came from the other end of the line instead of Bryanâs. âI knew that you would definitely refuse to answer if I had called you. So I could only use my younger brotherâs phone.â
Avery spoke very fast, afraid that Kirk would hang up without hearing her out.
âKirk, I already know about what happened to you and Ms. Evans. I can only say that Iâm sorry that things turned out this way for both of you.
âBut you guys are truly from different worlds. How about taking this opportunity to come back?â
âWhat opportunity?â Kirk asked indifferently.
Avery couldnât respond to his retort.
Kirk questioned once again, âWhat opportunity are you talking about?â
âI⦠I donât have any bad intentions. I just hope you can accept the reality that you and Caroline are not suitable for each other.â
âDo we need an outsider to comment on whether weâre suitable?â
Kirkâs tone was extremely hostile. âHas everything in the Mendely family been going too well recently?
You have so much free time on your hands. Are you trying to cause them some trouble?â
Averyâs expression changed.
Just as she was about to continue, Finn pressed her phone down.
âSee. He only has eyes for Caroline. He wonât leave her, no matter what happens.â
Avery gripped her phone, her face contorted with anger. âThatâs just his wishful thinking!â
Admiring Averyâs miserable face, Finn slowly continued, âWhy are you stubborn?â
âIâm not stubborn!â
Avery turned around and glared at him. âI will definitely make Kirk give up on her!â
