    Chapter 161 My Rtionship With Him Is Over


    Caroline struggled to cut through Alex’s ceaseless chatter. She tightened her hold on the coffee cup as


    she unwillingly listened about Evan’s matters


    Believing Evan had sought her for five years was easier than epting his two–year alcohol abuse.


    “Do you know why Evan ended his engagement with Danie?” Alex asked.


    Caroline replied, “Their rtionship isn’t my concern, Mr. Price


    Alex took it upon himself to respond. “It’s due to you. He discovered you saved him back then. He


    admitted this while drunk, regretting his past treatment of you. He even said he’d give his life for


    you if you returned”


    Carolinepressed her lips.


    “Evan knows, I see. But knowing changes nothing. It’s all in the past. Do you imagine thest five


    years have been simple for me?” Caroline concealed her pain and retorted icily, “My connection


    with him is severed, Mr. Price.”

    Alex’s expression grew colder. “So, you have no feelings left for him?”


    Caroline wouldn’t be truthful if she imed none, yet reconciling was out of the question.


    “Mr. Price, there are many things between him and me that can’t be exined easily. You know


    about his suffering, but you don’t know about mine.”


    She stood and uttered, “You’ll receive clothes shortly. Goodbye.”


    Before Alex could reply, Caroline left the cafe.


    Alex arched an eyebrow, watching her lonely departure. Soon, he dialed Evan’s number.


    As soon as Evan picked up, Alex teased, “Ahead lies a bumpy road, Evan


    Evan inquired, “What nonsense is this?”


    “I bumped into Caroline and recounted your remarkable feats from two years back,” Alex said with


    mischief, leaning back.


    “Are you insane? Why would you do that?” Evan’s frustration was evident.

    Alex was about to refute when Evan asked, “How did she react to it?”


    Alex’s lips twitched


    “She said she didn’t.” Alex suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence and smirked. “She


    said that she hasn’t moved on yet.”


    Evan held his phone tightly, speaking hurriedly. “Did she really say that?”


    “When are you thinking of winning her back?” Alex asked.


    Evan stayed silent. He recalled Caroline’s resistance in the past, so her recent statement puzzled


    him.


    He realized she might be saying this to regain his trust, aiming to approach Axel.


    In a chilly tone, Evan replied, “Not happening!”


    He promptly ended the call, leaving Alex bewildered. Why is he rejecting the idea of reconcili


    with her after waiting so long? Did he damage his brain with all that drinking?‘


    In the afternoon, Caroline and Kenny observed the workers transporting the new machines into


    the factory.


    With a relieved smile, Caroline watched as the new machines began to operate. “Once we finalize


    the designs and fabric materials, we can start making ready–made clothes.”


    Kenny rubbed his shoulder and looked at Caroline with a hint ofint. “Hey, why didn’t you


    bring me anything from the city?”


    “I apologize. I was actually nning to bring you some coffee, but I got caught up with some


    things,” Caroline exined. “How about this? To celebrate the officialunch of the clothing.


    factory, I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.”


    Kenny’s eyes lit up. “Sounds good!”


    For dinner, Caroline picked Summit International Restaurant for alfresco dining. After


    coordinating with Kenny, she quickly returned to the city to pick up her children.

    As Caroline stepped out of her car, she unexpectedly ran into Danie


    Danie red at Caroline. “Do you really think you can avoid me forever? Just because you did it


    once doesn’t mean you can hide forever.”


    Caroline furrowed her brow and responded icily. Tm sorry, but do I know you?”


    “Still trying to pretend, huh? Caroline, I can recognize you even if you have turned to ashes!”
