Chapter 95


    Chapter 95


    Caroline ran here and there with herptop in hand for the entire afternoon, but to no avall. She even


    thought of withdrawing from the


    contest.


    But She wasn’t with the Evanses now, and she couldn’t just rely on Kirk all the time. He probably didn’t


    have much money with him after buying a vi. Besides, he still had to pay for it every month.


    All of this reminded Caroline of how much she wanted to strangle La for her sins.


    This moming, Kal had messaged her, saying that the process had begun. La should receive the


    court summons in about two days‘ lime. Still, it would take some time before the official hearing.


    Kai had told Caroline that she didn’t need to worry about it and that he’d settle everything for her. So,


    she’d only need to show up at court that time.


    Caroline fell her spirits Improve now that all she had to do was wall for La to receive her punishment.


    It was a shame that …


    Caroline clicked open to the public page for the design contest and was about to unfollow it when she


    realized that a new announcement had been made today.


    The registration deadline was postponed for a week!


    This meant that she still had a week to get things done! She instantly felt like she’d been given a


    second chance at life. Rushing off to the road, she hailed a cab and went back to the vi.


    She nned to draw a new draft based on her memory of it. Soon after she’d started working on it, she


    found it boring.


    Atst, she ended up making a new design. Now that she’d gained more experience, she found the


    task rather easy.


    Caroline had a surge of inspiration, so she managed toplete a whole new draft before night fell.


    When she finally finished her work and raised her eyes to look around her, she realized that it was


    already dark.


    Pleased with herself, she started to head downstairs and was surprised to see Kirking out of the


    kitchen with a dish in his hands.


    “When did youe back?” asked Caroline in shock.


    Kirk raised his eyes to look at her.


    She looked as if she’d just been through a battle. A few stray strands of hair were stuck to the sides of


    her face, and there was a shine in her eyes that made her appear lively and merry.


    “I’ve been back for quite some time already.” When he’d returned, Kirk had noticed her upied with


    work upstairs, so he hadn’t been able to find it in him to disturb her.


    Soon, however, the exuberance Caroline felt dissipated. Instead, It was reced by awkwardness


    when she recalled what happened between them.


    She shifted from one foot to another and murmured, “You don’t need to stay with me.”


    Kirk looked up at her from his seat. The dim light in the room softened his prominent facial features,


    giving him an air of gentleness.


    Staring back at him, Caroline found herself unable to utter Brie’s name. It was at the tip of her tongue,


    but she swallowed it back. She felt all nasty inside, as if something was lodged in her heart.

    Her voice was barely a whisper when she’d said those words.


    Kirk hadn’t heard her clearly, so he said, “Time to eat.”


    She hummed in agreement and went down the rest of the stairs.


    Silence hung in the air the entire time they had dinner. The only sound that broke the stillness and quiet


    was the asional clinking of their cutlery on the porcin.


    After dinner, Caroline took the initiative to clear the table.
