Chapter 115
At the convenience store, Caroline bought a few pieces of bread and a few bottles of water.
Gwen asked her curiously, “Why are you buying water?” There were cold drinks at the barbecue
restaurant.
Caroline couldn’t help but blush. “I want some regr water.”
Gwen sauntered to her, asking, “Is it for you, or are you buying it for Kirk?”
“It’s for me, all right?” Caroline took another water bottle before asking Gwen, “What’s going on
between you and Sean?”
“Huh? Nothing!” Gwen felt a little sheepish. There really wasn’t anything between her and Sean, so she
had no clue why she was acting like this.
“Oh, really?” Caroline stared straight into Gwen’s eyes, making thetter feel a little awkward.
“Carol, didn’t I promise I wouldn’t pursue him?”
Caroline said, “If you really like him, I don’t mind.”
Gwen waved her hand. “Forget it. Both his work and family are abroad. Who knows when he’ll be
leaving this ce? Long distance rtionships are too difficult.”
Her friend’s words took Caroline aback. Kirk’s family was abroad as well. Would she be separated
from him in the future as well?
“Enough about me. What’s going on between you and Kirk? And who was the woman from before?”
Gwen asked.
On the way here, Sean had asked Gwen about the woman Kirk was with. She’d said she didn’t know
who the woman was, but he’d insisted that she find out from Caroline, iming that he
wanted to clear his friend’s name.
The light in Caroline’s eyes dimmed instantly.
“If you don’t want to say it, forget that I asked,” Gwen said hastily.
Caroline walked out of the convenience store with her bag in her hand, feeling a big weight on her
chest. She took a long breath, bracing herself, and said, “It’s Brie.”
Gwen’s expression shifted “What the actual fuck! Why was he seeing her, of all people? Wait right
here I’m going to give him the scolding he deserves
After talking, she stormed towards the barbecue restaurant across the street.
Seeing this, Caroline hurriedly chased after Gwen, trying to stop her.
However, it was toote Gwen had already let her anger cloud her judgment.
Wanting to stand up for her friend, Gwen pointed at Kirk and yelled, “Are you doing this on
purpose? You clearly know that Carol and Brie don’t get along, but you’re still seeing a bitch like
her!”
Sean was stunned for a moment before realizing what Gwen was doing “She’s scolding Kirk! Does she
want to die?” he thought.
Sean stood up and held back the agitated Gwen. “Calm down, Gwen!”
Caroline rushed over as well. She looked at Kirk, out of breath.
Kirk narrowed his eyes slightly. He nced at the agitated Gwen and then at Caroline. “Brie? Who
said we were together?”
Although Sean had restrained Gwen, he hadn’t covered her mouth. Kirk’s question added fuel to the
fire, making Gwen even angrier.
She yelled, “I can’t believe you’re still trying to deny it! When Carol took supper for you at work that
night, she saw you two with her own eyes. Also, the lipstick you brought home must belong
to Brie, right?”
The customers at the restaurant all turned over to look at themotion.
Caroline blocked Gwen and said to Sean, “Sean, can you please take her away?”
Sean nodded and dragged Gwen away.
The people in the restaurant didn’t take their eyes off Caroline’s table. She quickly went to pay the
bill.
“Let’s go.”
Kirk sat still. He only looked at her when she pulled him up, and emotions seemed to be swirling in his
eyes.
The two walked to the car one after the other After getting in the car. they drove away from the
birby downtown area
Caroline said bitterty, I’m sorry. Gwen is just-
Kirk interrupted her, his attractive voice echoing in the car “Were you there just to bring me
upper that night?”
Caroline frowned and said stubbornly. “No”
Kirk leaned over and gently lifted Caroline’s jaw with his fingers His eyes showed a trace of
liveliness, and he was full of smiles. “But Gwen said you were ”
“No–
Caroline felt his lips pressing against hers, and all thoughts left her mind. She had already
forgotten what she was going to say
In contrast to his usual heavy–handedness, Kirk was kissing her gently and delicately this time.
Caroline’s breathing gradually became rapid, and she wrapped her arms around Kirk’s neck She
whispered, “Kirk”
Kirk looked back at her. In the cramped space of the car, his gaze looked ferocious. “Scream my
name.”
Caroline bit her lip, shaking her head vehemently.
Kirk ced kisses on Caroline’s delicate corbone, gently nibbling on it. He looked at her bewitchingly
‘Scream my name. I know you want to.”
Caroline’s lips parted slightly, and she said hoarsely, “You’re bullying me again, Kirk.”
Seeing this, Kirk hugged her dearly. “I’m not bullying you. I just miss you. Listen-*
He hugged Caroline even tighter, and Caroline could feel his body heat and steady heartbeat thanks to
how close their bodies were.
Her body stiffened, and she said sadly, “But I don’t want to fight with Brie over you…”
Kirk bit Caroline’s lips. He said, “There’s nothing between Brie and I.”

Looking at Kirk with tearful eyes, Caroline said, “I saw her wearing a diamond ring that day, and
she said that it was from you…”
A murderous glint briefly appeared in Kirk’s eyes.
Then, he caressed Caroline’s cheek with all the tenderness he could muster and kissed away her
tears “That ring is supposed to be for you.”
Caroline blinked her eyes. She couldn’t believe what she heard.
Kirk said, “We’re already married, but I haven’t bought you a ring. I’m a failure as a husband. That ring
is still in my office. I’ll get it for you.”
Caroline blushed. She hadn’t expected this to be the truth. In an instant, something filled up her empty
heart.
She asked again, “So, there’s really nothing between you and Brie?”
Kirk started the car. “Yeah.”
The weight on Caroline’s chest lifted, and when she quickly nced at Kirk, her face turned bright red.
Kirk set up the GPS on the console. “Then, let’s go home.”
They were only ten minutes away from the vi, but it would take them half an hour to get to the
company. He didn’t want to wait any longer.
Caroline nodded. After getting her consent, Kirk stepped on the gas pedal. They arrived at the vi
within just five minutes.
Kirk parked the car randomly and quickly walked into the vi with Caroline in his arms.
The two of them got started without even turning on the lights. They had waited for this moment for a
long time.
