    Chapter 662 You Must Be Shameless


    Evan’s words left Caroline feeling helpless and speechless. She shifted her gaze away from Evan and


    quietly contemted his words. She wondered if she was truly ready for what he had just revealed.


    Suddenly, a cold gust of wind swept through, scattering the roses thaty on the floor and filling the air


    with a delicate fragrance. This unexpected change in the atmosphere gradually calmed Caroline’s


    flustered mind.


    Looking down at the city aglow with lights at the base of the mountains, she realized that she needed


    someone by her side to brighten her world and provide support. This epiphany brought a sudden sense


    of tranquility.


    Yes, she liked him and decided to be bold and ept him once again for the sake of her feelings.


    She began to form the words to express her decision when Paige interrupted her with an urgent


    “Carol!”


    Caroline’s courage waned, and she helplessly turned her attention to Paige. “What’s wrong?”


    Paige fidgeted with a backpack she had retrieved from somewhere and asked, “Alex has some warm


    drinks prepared. Would you like some to warm up?”


    Caroline nodded, feeling the chill in the air. Sure.”


    Alex chimed in. “Just sit. Let me handle it.” He fetched some cups and poured warm tea for everyone.


    After distributing the drinks, he joined Caroline, Evan, and Paige.


    Alex raised his cup and proposed, ‘Let’s toast and wish for a wonderful and peaceful life!” The four of


    them clinked their cups together.

    Holding her cup, Paige gazed at the city’s lights and sighed with emotion. “Wouldn’t it be great if we


    could be this happy every day?”

    Caroline chuckled and agreed, “Indeed, it would be wonderful if we could always have such days.”


    The idea of spending a peaceful life with a partner, free of arguments and hardships, appealed to her.


    Unfortunately, Caroline couldn’t have known that such nights would be a rarity in the days to


    come.


    After descending the stairs, Caroline and Paige took the children back to their room while Evan and

    Evan was lost in thought and remained silent, his feelings concealed from Alex.


    Alex finally spoke up. “Evan, are you really not going to ask Caroline again?”


    Sipping his wine, Evan replied, “No, I won’t ask her again.”


    Alex couldn’t hide his conviction, “You can’t just wait for Caroline toe to you when she’s ready. You


    need to take the initiative. She’ll only respond once you ask her again.”


    Evan frowned. “Why?”


    Alex exined, ‘She needs a clear path.”


    Evan defended himself, “I’ve already given her that.”


    Alex sighed and retorted, “You hurt her first. If you want her, you must be more persistent. Is your pride.


    more important than Caroline?”


    Evan was displeased. “Why are you saying such things?”


    Alex was firm in his advice. Trust me. Keep reminding her. If you want her, you’ll have to be


    shameless.”


    Evan was rendered speechless by this assertion.


    Neil and Yuliana returned to Xander Residence after their dinner outing. Neil’s phone rang as they


    headed


    upstairs, and he promptly answered when he saw the caller ID.


    His assistant reported, “Mr. Xander, we’ve interrogated the individuals who participated in the bidding


    that year.”


    Neil settled on the sofa and asked, “What did they say?”


    “They confirmed their participation in the bidding, but they withdrew after facing threats from Dracol


    Jordan. Following their withdrawal, those fewpanies experienced a decline.”
