Chapter 86

Since he’d gotten back, Sean had kept going out to look for good food.

Early that morning, he was lazing at home, having breakfast. He still hadn’t dug into his fresh croissants when the front door slammed open.

That action was filled with rage, so Sean could tell that the person wasn’t anyone nice.

He put down his croissant. Before he could take a few steps, he saw an angry Kirk.

“What’s up? Did you get into another fight with Ms. Evans?”

Kirk cast him a look. His lips were flattened into a thin line.

Sean pointed at himself. “Did I offend you?”

That couldn’t be right! When had he offended Kirk?

Kirk’s eyes narrowed as he kept silent.

Sean really felt defeated. He handed Kirk a croissant. “There’s nothing some croissants can’t fix. If one can’t fix it, have more.”

Kirk tried to keep his anger controlled. “Sean Yates.”

Sean sensed that something was amiss. He put his smile away.

“What’s going on? How am I supposed to fix it if you don’t tell me?”

Kirk shot him a look but still didn’t say anything.

Sean didn’t back down. “Then I’ll just wait until you want to tell me.”

Caroline made breakfast for Eddy today, as usual. She waited at the door for the bodyguard to come and collect the food.

She glanced at the time. The bodyguard wouldn’t be here for another ten minutes, at least. Thus, she took her laptop out.

She wanted to use this time to give her design one last look. If there were no issues, she would send her entry off to the competition organizer.

The second she opened her email, the bodyguard arrived. Hence, Caroline put her laptop aside and went to get the food container.

“Here you go.”

The bodyguard didn’t take it. Instead, he looked pained as he said, “Ms. Evans, Mr. Eddy has ordered that you must bring it yourself.”

Caroline’s brows furrowed.

“Please don’t make things hard for me.”

Caroline let out a breath and went to get her keys. “I got it.”

The bodyguard smiled at that. “Thank you, Ms. Evans.”

Caroline got into the Morrison family’s car and went to the hospital.

When she arrived at the hospital room, she saw that Eddy’s leg was still elevated. However, his complexion looked much better. It seemed that he’d recovered a lot.

Caroline put the food container on the table and said stiffly, “Your food is here.”

After saying that, she turned to leave.

Eddy called out in a rush, “Stand right there!”

Caroline paused in her steps. She looked back and asked, “Is there anything else?”

*Barley ponidge with greens.”

“I don’t like any of that.”

For the past few days, Caroline had been making food that he didn’t like.

“Then what do you want to eat?”

Caroline looked at him calmly.

Eddy said, “You know what I like.”

Caroline gave a chuckle. “I really don’t.”

“Caroline!” Eddy was provoked into anger. “If this is your revenge, I’ll admit that you’re succeeding at it.

I only like eating your food.”

Eddy thought that Caroline would feel touched by his words. After all, he’d gone so far as to make such an admission already. Even so, Caroline was unmoved. She even smiled disdainfully.

“Eddy, what makes you think you can order me around? I’m only caring for you because of Grandpa. If it weren’t for him, I would have poisoned your food!”

She added, “Also, I don’t care if you eat it or not. Next time, I won’t let you have your way, even if you use Grandpa’s name against me again.”

Caroline said all this in a rush and didn’t give Eddy the chance to retort. Then, she turned and left.

Eddy was so angry that his face went purple. However, he had nowhere to vent his fury.
