    Chapter 171


    After more than half an hour, Caroline finally arrived at the bar Sean had told her toe to When she


    saw the flowing traffic surrounding the ce, she started feeling deeply suspicious


    Wasn’t this a busy main road? Why couldn’t they get an Uber?


    Caroline didn’t think more about it. She quickly found Sean waving at her. “Over here!”


    She walked rapidly over Not far off, Kirk was leaning against a pole.


    In the dim light of the night, Caroline couldn’t see his features clearly.


    Only when she got closer did she see that Kirk’s eyes were slightly closed His forehead was scrunched


    up, and he looked as if he were in pain. The smell of alcohol surrounded him.


    It seemed that Kirk must have drunk a lot.


    “Kirk Caroline patted Kirk’s cheeks


    Kirk opened his eyes, his red eyes meeting Caroline’s gaze all of a sudden.


    Caroline shuddered violently. It was as if she were looking at a hurt kitten. Her movements


    became gentler. “Let’s go home.”


    Kirk stood without moving.


    Caroline went to pull him along, but it seemed as though his body was boneless. He slumped. against


    her shoulder.


    Holding Kirk up by his chest, Caroline tried to shove him away. But Kirk was built like a wall.


    There was no way to push him off.


    Caroline could only hold his waist and drag him into the car.


    Sean watched the way Kirk swayed and stumbled. He mocked Kirk mentally, thinking, “What a


    great actor.”


    His gaze shifted to Caroline’s car and the space in front and behind it. However, he couldn’t find a


    second car that hade with Caroline’s.


    His heart chilled. He took a few steps toward her car. Sounding casual, he asked, “Did youe


    alone?”


    Caroline had finally shoved Kirk into the car. She straightened, a bead of sweat hanging from the tip of


    her nose. “No. The person who’s picking you up is almost here.”


    A newfound hope red in Sean’s heart. He said with a warm smile, “Sorry for troubling you.”


    “It’s no trouble. The moment she said this, a car drove over. She smiled “Here we go ”

    Sean followed Caroline’s line of sight. When he saw the car slowlying over, he felt excited.


    However, when the car stopped and Sean saw a man sitting inside, he was instantly disappointed


    “Not Gwen?” he blurted out. He regretted saying that immediately.


    Luckily, Caroline didn’t think too much about it.


    She exined, “Oh, thepany arranged a new driver for me. This is Mr. Jack. Gwen said she’s not


    free, so I could only ask him to help. What’s up? Is there a problem?”


    Sean’s schrly features twisted up for a second “No, thank you.


    Caroline frowned Why did Sean sound like he was gritting his teeth?


    “Then I’m going home now.”


    Caroline got into the car and started it. She left the bar.


    During the whole trip, Kirk behaved perfectly. When she drove into the garage, Caroline felt her


    tensed nerves finally rx.


    She opened the back door and patted Kirk’s cheek. “We’re here. Get out of the car.”


    Kirk had curled into a ball. He seemed just like a cat. When he heard Caroline, he slowly opened


    his eyes. They were still red, and when Caroline saw them again, her heart ached.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Just as she turned away, Kirk suddenly hugged her tightly around the waist.


    She could only look back at Kirk. “We’re home.”


    Kirk rubbed his cheek against Caroline. His drunken voice was deep. “I don’t … go home…”


    Kirk was built like a mountain. He didn’t budge even though Caroline pushed him. She could only


    bend down to look into Kirk’s in his eyes.


    Using a tone as though she were coaxing a child, she said softly, “Why don’t you want to go home?”


    “My wife won’t talk to me.”


    Caroline asked, “Why won’t she talk to you?”


    “Because I made a mistake.”


    Caroline silently straightened.


    Seemingly afraid that she would leave, Kirk wound an arm around her waist. He rubbed his head


    against Caroline’s stomach. He really was acting like an affectionate cat.


    +15 BONUS


    Caroline put a hand on Kirk’s shoulder Her heart melted.


    Caroline bit her lip and said softly, “Go home She’ll talk to you now.”


    Really? Kirk looked up. The hard lines of his face were a sharp contrast to the hurt in his eyes


    Caroline nodded silently. She reached out a hand. Come on, let’s go home.”


    Kirk took Caroline’s fair hand and pulled her into his embrace


    He brazenly inhaled her womanly scent.


    Caroline got a shock. She said in warning, “Kirk…”


    Kirk flipped them both over and pressed Caroline below him.


    After some time, Caroline slept deeply. She could sense someone carrying her to bed and softly


    wiping down her body.


    The next morning, Caroline opened her eyes to find herself lying in the bed of the master


    bedroom. Kirk was beside her. His clothes were a mess, and his body was littered with numerous


    scratch marks.


    Caroline remembered what happenedst night in an instant. Heat filled her face, spreading all


    the way to her toes.


    She quickly shot up from bed and clumsily grabbed her clothes. She ran back to the guest room.


    In the mirror, she found hickeys all over herself. She really regretted going to pick up Kirkst


    night.


    Luckily, Kirk would forget what happened when he was drunk. Otherwise, she really didn’t know


    how she would face him.


    With her heart in a mess, Caroline took a hot shower. She went downstairs after changing.


    Kirk had already set the table with the breakfast he had bought. Who knew when he’d even


    woken up?


    “It’s time for breakfast,” Kirk called out to Caroline.


    Caroline assented, her neck turning red.


    Kirk seemed to have forgotten everything.


    She picked up her cutlery and dug into the breakfast elegantly.


    Caroline finally rxed.


    Suddenly, Kirk looked over at her and asked seriously, “Did I get drunkst night?”


    +15 BONUS


    Mmmmm, Caronne said before quickly ducking her bead even more.


    Did I do anything then?”


    “No


    Kirk quickly smiled.


    “What about you?”


    Caroline raised her head to look at Kirk. Her breathing was ragged. “What could I have done when you


    were drunk?”


    Kirk was smiling brightly. He rolled up his sleeves, showing his wrist. There was a clear bite mark there.


    “Then why do I have this on me?”


    He sounded innocent and pitiful.


    It was as if Caroline was the scumbag here.


    Caroline felt her mind racing. Her face was thoroughly red. “H–how should I know?”


    “This one… You don’t know either?” His voice was filled with confusion.


    The red scratch mark on his abdomen was a clear and annoying sight.


    Caroline’s face was burning. “I–I’m going to work!”


    After saying that, Caroline ran off.


    Watching her go, Kirk put his hands behind his head. He was in such a great mood.
