Chapter 178 Women Need to Be Coaxed Caroline’s heart felt heavy upon hearing her daughter’s voice. No matter how exhausted she was from work, she promised herself she would go home to see her children. This marked the first time she had been separated from them.

Tears welled up in her eyes. Tm sorry I couldn’t pick you and Ty up.”

“You’re not leaving us, are you? It’s just because you’re busy, right? And you know Ty and I are safe, right?”

Liora’s string of insecure questions reached Caroline’s ears, and she replied, “Why would I ever leave you and Tyler? I’m well aware that you’re safe. That’s why I stayed with Lily at the hospital.

last night ”

Licra’s voice was tinged with anxiety. “What happened to Ms. Smith?”

Caroline held back her tears, explaining, “Lily isn’t feeling well, so she needs to stay in the hospital for a while. Be good, Lia. I’ll come to get you and Ty once I finish. Oh, and is Ty with you?”

The call’s background was filled with noise, and Tyler’s voice soon followed “It’s me, Mommy.”

A smile broke through Caroline’s worry “Ty, take care of your sister. I’ll be there as soon as work is done.”

“No need to hurry, Mominy. Liora and I understand you’re busy. Axel’s house is pretty comfortable for us.”

His words were sincere. He genuinely found Evan’s house comfortable–the only missing piece was his mother.

Feeling reassured, Caroline said, “Alright, I’m glad you’re comfortable. Remember to eat…

After conversing with her children, Caroline ended the call and resumed her focus on work.

In the building across, Alex sat in Evan’s office, sipping coffee, and observed Evan with a smile.

“Hey, how did you end up getting cheated on?” Alex inquired, his tone teasing.

Evan shot him a sharp look. “Speak properly or leave.”

Alex almost choked on his coffee, coughing as he explained, “Just kidding. By the way, what’s your plan with Caroline? You’re not going to do anything after finding out that Axel is her son?”

“I’m waiting for her to tell me face–to–face.”

Alex was surprised. “You’re relying on a woman who hid from you for five years to tell you the truth?”

“What’s the problem with that?” Evan asked.

Alex said, “Shouldn’t you take the first step? You’re the one who should be seeking her forgiveness.”

Alex made a good point, Evan had spent the past five years contemplating how to make things right with her. Yet, he was angry to discover she was alive and avoiding him now, He had saved her three times. Wasn’t that enough to make amends for his mistakes?

The thought of Caroline’s cold expression caused Evan to furrow his brow.

However, he couldn’t resist asking. “Is my approach wrong?”

“Yes! Women need to be coaxed Aren’t you worried she might turn to Kenny or Scott if you keep this up?” Alex advised Evan’s face turned serious upon thinking about his children calling someone else ‘Daddy‘.

“What should I do then?” Evan inquired, puzzled.

Alex grinned. “You have to chase a woman without shame. Let me teach you some tricks, come on!

At 7:00 pm, after work, Caroline went to Bayview Villa to get some clothes for a change before her hospital caregiving duty.

As Caroline parked her car, she noticed the yard filled with red roses. This sight immediately made her think of Evan, and her eyes twitched.

Scott knew she didn’t like flowers, so he had stopped giving them to her four years ago. Kenny was her best friend, so he couldn’t be the one either. That left only Evan.
