“Care to have a try?” He hooked an arm around her waist and gave her lips a peck.
It made Carolineugh at how much of a hooligan he seemed right now. “Move,” she told him.
“Where to?” He kissed her again and led her to the edge of the bed.
I’ve taken root in your heart. I’ve nowhere to go.”
Caroline’s heart leaped into her mouth when she realized what he was doing. Still, she went with the
flow and slowlyy down on the bed. her eyes clouding expectantly.
Beside her, she felt the bed sink as Kirky down. He gently kissed her on the forehead, and the
atmosphere changed to fit what was to
Just then, Caroline got a notification alert on her phone, making both of them freeze.
Pushing against his chest, she panted, “L–let me check it.”
A shadow fell across Kirk’s face at how untimely the interruption was. He reached out a hand to snatch
her phone away.
He stopped abruptly when he noticed how her expression changed almost instantly after looking at the
screen.

Kirk didn’t know what the notification was about. However, he had a few guesses alter seeing
Caroline’s reaction.
He raised a hand to pat her on the back. “What is it?”
She handed him her phone right after.

Kirk nced at the phone and said, “It seems like you aren’t surprised at all.”
Smiling, she exined, “Sarah called me the day I was taken to the hotel to meet Brie. I didn’t connect
the dots then. With this, I finally know why Brie had been bold enough to do that.
“She wasn’t the one who took me there, so she knew she wouldn’t have to take the me if something
happened to me.”
Yet somehow an ident had urred, making Brie go nuts.
Kirk took Caroline into his arms. “Are you upset?” he asked.
Caroline shook her head and rested it against his shoulder.
“A few days ago, Sarah came to me. She asked me to persuade Grandpa to agree to Eddy and La
seeing each other. I wondered why
she would act like that —”
Then, she looked down at her phone and snickered. “If I’m not mistaken, La had called Sarah before
that to tell her that Eddy was in the
hotel. That was why Sarah had gone so far as to abduct me and send me there.
“Sarah probably came to me because La ckmailed her with it. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have
asked me such a thing, considering how
much she wanted me to marry Eddy.”
Caroline analyzed the entire situation with suchposure.
Kirk couldn’t help but take her hands in his. “Darling…*
Caroline met his gaze and tossed him a smile. “Can you help me find out who sent me this
information? I have to thank them for this.”
“Thank them?”
“Yes. It doesn’t matter what their intentions were for sending this. I truly am grateful to them for letting
me let go of things now.”
Kirk started stroking her back gently. “Are you sure you’re okay?”
“Of course.” She stared into his eyes, her gaze clear without a trace of hesitance. “Do you know what
I’m thinking now?”
“What is it?”
“If I wasn’t Sarah and Dan’s daughter, they might not have lived to this day.”
Hearing this, Kirk slid his hand between her shoulder des. “Yep. My darling’s bing more
independent than ever.”
Caroline smiled softly at him and decided to resume their conversation. “Can you help me find out who
sent this?”
‘Sure,” Kirk agreed. Then, he plucked her phone out of her grasp and ced it aside.
“Forget it for now. I have something I need your help with.”
Caroline blinked, puzzled. “What is it?”
Then, Kirk pushed her onto the bed once again, a mischievous smile ying on his lips.
“You know what to do.”
It was time for dinner. Caroline went to find Gwen in her room, while Kirk walked out to the balcony to
answer a call from Charles.
“Sir, I’ve sent the Information to the madam,” Charles reported.
“Good. I’ve seen it.”

Kirk absentmindedly rapped his knuckles on the wooden railing. His voice was dangerously low when
he said, “Next time, pick a better time to send messages.”
That made Charles very confused. Why was Kirk in such a bad mood? Did he get into a fight with
Caroline?
Charles recalled thest time Kirk had a quarrel with Caroline. The atmosphere in thepany had
been so excruciatingly taut that Charles had been haunted by headaches for quite some time.
Kirk said, “Send me every bit of information you can get about the Evans family.”
“Okay, Charles responded immediately.
After that, Kirk fell silent for some time. Taking it as a sign that Kirk had no other task to assign to him,
Charles finally ended the call.
Later, Kirk pocketed his phone and exited the room in search of Caroline. He found her chatting
animatedly with Gwen.
He wasn’t sure what they were talking about, but Caroline’s eyes twinkled as she spoke. He found this
side of her overwhelmingly cute.
