    Chapter 236


    Caroline could distinctly feel Kirk’s displeasure. She guessed that he really disliked the fact that she still


    had ties with Eddy.


    Thus, she exined patiently, “Grandpa has always been good to me. I can’t reject his Invitation.”


    Kirk smiled as he brushed Caroline’s hair aside. “I’m not mad. It’s just that Mr. Morrison Senior still


    cares so much about you, even though we’re already married. Don’t you find it strange?”


    Caroline was silent for a moment before sighing.


    “Actually, I’ve always wondered about It. Grandpa treats me with the kind of unconditional love that


    goes beyond being rted by blood. Maybe I look like some rtive of his who died young. Do you


    think it’s possible he’s so nice to me because of that?”


    Perhaps Jude’s love for Caroline stemmed from that?


    Kirk smiled slightly. He had no desire to look into Jude and the rest of the older generation’s affairs. But


    if Jude stepped too far…


    “Maybe. You could ask him about it tomorrow night.”


    “Okay.” Caroline nodded.


    She suddenly remembered what had happened with Jack earlier. But after some consideration, she


    didn’t mention it to Kirk.


    Kirk was typically quite busy. Besides, he might not be able to help her with Jack. It might be better if


    she investigated it herself and checked out what was going on.


    Alter work the nest day, Caroline rushed over to the hot springs ce Jude had mentioned.


    Simon led Caroline to a private room. “Mr. Morrison Senior is waiting for you inside.”


    Caroline nodded before pushing the door open and heading inside.

    As expected, Jude was in the room. However, he wasn’t alone. Eddy was also there.


    At the sight of Eddy, Caroline’s expression became tense.


    Although Eddy had been prepared for it, he still didn’t feel great about it.


    Jude noticed their expressions, but he ignored them. He smiled and said, “Carrie, you’re here. Come,


    sit for a while, and drink something. We’ll go have a soak in a moment.”


    “Alright.” Caroline sat opposite Eddy.


    Jude patted Caroline’s hand and saidfortingly, “Carrie, don’t take what your parents said to heart.


    They’re the ones in the wrong on this. After a few days, I’ll personally call them over, and we can talk


    things out.”


    Caroline looked at Jude gratefully. “Thank you, Grandpa.”


    Jude talked more with Caroline. Seeing that she was in a stable mood and unbothered, he asked,


    “Carrie, have you heard of any rumors regarding Eddy’s second uncle?”


    “Do you mean the news about him and the starlet Daphne Dawson?”


    “Yes.” Jude’s eyes never left Caroline.


    “What do you think about it?”


    Caroline said, “There are lots of rumors circling in the entertainment industry. It’s very hard to verify any


    of them.”


    What if I told you it was true?”


    Caroline was stunned for a moment, but she wasn’t sad or angry. She only felt a bit regretful. “So it’s


    like that. Then please congratte


    him for me, Grandpa.”


    Jude was still eyeing Caroline. “Carrie, why does it sound like you’re not being sincere?”


    Caroline felt a little embarrassed that Jude had seen through her. “I really can’t keep any secrets from


    you, Grandpa.” him?”


    Caroline replied, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It has nothing to do with me, and I can’t judge.”


    Hearing Caroline’s response, Jude becamepletely relieved. II Caroline and Kirk had really been


    married, she wouldn’t have been able lo react so calmly.


    Jude gave Eddy a look.


    Eddy also shared Caroline’s opinion that Daphne wasn’t a good match for Kirk. Thus, he found himself


    liking this ex–fiancée of his.
