Caroline coughed lightly and said, âLetâs get into the car, Scott.â
Scott nodded and picked up his luggage. Suddenly, he heard a distant scream out of the blue.
âDoctor Wilson?â
It was Reuben.
Caroline tensed. Scott noticed her reaction and frowned.
Scott turned to look at Reuben and saw Evan standing before the car, wearing a gloomy expression.
Scott greeted them with a light smile. âItâs been a while, Mr. Jordan, Reuben.â
Evanâs gaze fixated on Caroline, and he seemed to be scrutinizing her while narrowing his eyes.
Reacting to the situation, Scott pulled Caroline into his arms. âMr. Jordan, Iâll leave with my girlfriend now.â
âWait,â Evan demanded coldly.
us can Sensing the tension, Caroline hugged Scott tightly and said. âDear, is he your friend? You guys catch up next time. Iâm starving right now. Letâs grab a bite, okay?â
Her coquettish tone caught Evan off guard, and even Reuben looked shocked.
Scott nodded politely. âMr. Jordan, my girlfriend isnât happy. Weâll go now. Goodbye.â
After that, they hugged each other tightly and got into the car.
Evan was infuriated by the unpleasant scene. As the car left, his face darkened.
Reuben asked hesitantly, âMr. Jordan, I donât think Ms. Shenton would behave that way, right?â
Evan snorted, suspicious of Carolineâs avoidance.
âDid you find anything about that woman?â Evan demanded icily.
Reuben braced himself and replied, âNot a clue.â
âSend more people to stalk the two kids when they pick up Axel after school this afternoon. I want to know where they live.â
Evan narrowed his eyes as he watched where the car headed.
He knew that she was Caroline.
Caroline glanced at Scott awkwardly in the car. Im sorry. I didnât expect to run into them. I used you as a shield.â
Tm glad you used me as a shield, Scott replied, smiling Caroline blushed at his remark.
âItâll be 5:00 pm. soon. Letâs pick up the kids,â Scott tried to ease Carolineâs uneasiness Caroline nodded. âAfter picking them up, why donât you come to my house and eat with us?â
âSure.â Scott smiled and agreed.
Classes at the kindergarten ended at 5:00 pm.
As soon as Tyler and Liora walked out the door, they saw Scott Lioraâs eyes lit up, and she excitedly threw herself into Scottâs arms. âPapa Wilson!â
âLia.â Smiling, Scott lifted Liora and extended his hand to Tyler. âTy.â
Tyler was thrilled to see Scott and gladly held his hand âPapa Wilson, did you just get back?â Tyler asked.
âYeah, your mother even came to the airport to pick me up.â Scott replied.
âThatâs what she should do,â Tyler teased, looking at Caroline.
Caroline felt awkward and helpless.
Tyler liked bringing her together with Scott.
âYeah,â she replied..
Then, they heard a girlâs voice.
âTyler, Liora, is this your father? Arenât you guys fatherless?â
Liora glared at the girl and retorted, âYes, heâs my father. Heâs busy with work and just got back from abroad! Tyler and I are not fatherless!â
The girl pouted and left.
Caroline felt a pang of bitterness hearing Lioraâs words. Liora never asked about her father, but she must have imagined having a father who could protect her like the other children.
Caroline looked at Scott, who carefully carried the child into the car.
Maybe she should consider her relationship with Scott for the childrenâs sake.
