Chapter 261


    Chapter 261


    Sean’s eyes widened into saucers as he saw Kirk’s linger nearing the “share” button. He snatched


    Kirk’s phone from him and yelled. “Have


    you gone mad?”


    If this were to get publicized, it would indeed clear up all the rumors. But Kirk could very well end up


    sleeping on the couch for the rest of


    his life.


    Sean fell like he was sullering too much for the sake of his friend’s happiness.


    By the time Sean dropped Kirk back home, It was already 9 pm.


    And the reason he managed to send the drunken man home so early was thanks to the brilliant job


    Caroline had done cultivating Kirk


    Kirk’s internal clock was never out of sync.


    Around 8 pm, he drowsily woke up and Insisted that his wile was waiting for him at home. He groaned


    that he couldn’t return homete and that he had to get back no matter what.


    Hearing Sean’s words, Caroline didn’t know if she shouldugh or cry.


    She helped Kirk to the couch while she said to Sean, “Thank you. Sorry about the trouble too.”


    Sean shrugged it off.


    She nced at him and asked, “How did he end up so drunk?”


    Sean went silent for a moment before saying, “Well, it’s because of you.”


    “Because of me?”


    “Yeah.” Sean rubbed the skin between his brows and began to fabricate a tale, “Kirk saw the rumors


    about you and Adrian and felt inferior.


    So off he went for a drink.”


    Even Sean found himself cringing at this exnation. Kirk was an intelligent man–when had he ever


    felt inferior?


    Nheless, Caroline wholeheartedly believed his words.


    “I never thought it would cause him such distress.”


    It suddenly dawned on her why Kirk got so jealous when she hadplimented Eddy back then.


    Her actions were tantamount to trampling on his pride as a man.


    Seeing the pitiable expression in Caroline’s eyes, Sean couldn’t help but leel the guilt that threatened to


    engulf him.


    But for the sake of his friend, he could only bite the bullet and y along. “Yeah… I guess I’ll leave him


    in your care.”


    Caroline nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure Kirk regains his confidence.”


    With an apology in his heart, Sean turned to leave.


    Back in the house, Caroline looked at her husband, who was sound asleep on the couch. She couldn’t


    help the grin that stretched across


    her face.


    She headed for the bathroom and filled a basin with warm water to wipe him down.


    As she did so, she couldn’t resist thinking about things.


    In fact, she had once considered this Issue before, which exined why she didn’t want the outside


    world to know who she had married.


    If news leaked about the fact that she had married a measly mid–level employee of Morrison Corp, it


    wouldn’t take long forparisons between him and Eddy to dominate the inte.


    By then, it would only be an even more massive blow to Kirk.


    By the looks of it, it was up to her to protect her sweetheart.

    +15 BONOS


    Thinking about the word sweetheart her tips pulled into an even wider smile. She leaned down, louched


    her lips against Kirks and whispered, “Ho–ney.”


    She articted each syble on its own, making sure what she said was clear as day.


    Under tonight’s sky, there existed a unique tendemess.


    “You know, there’s no need to feel inferior at all. To me, you are and will always be the best.”

    Caroline nestled up against Kirk’s muscr chest and cooed to herself.


    Unbeknownst to her, the corners of Kirk’s lips hooked up slightly in a grin.


    The curtain of darkness in the sky soon lit up brightly.


    As the moming progressed, the aroma from the dining room woke Caroline up.


    She opened her eyes groggily and saw Kirk with an apron on, cooking. “Why did you get up so early?”


    She made her way to the dining table and was greeted by the dozen or so dishes alreadyid out


    neatly. All sense of sleep left her body.


    “What time did you get up?”


    All sorts of meat, poultry, and fish adorned the table. Was there a celebration?


    Kirk shed her a smile. “Quick, go and freshen up.”


    Caroline found herself being pushed into the bathroom. However, she turned back and looked at Kirk,


    adamant. “What time did you even get up?”


    Wasn’t he beyond intoxicatedst night?


    “Be quick. Otherwise, the food will cool. It won’t taste as good then.”


    She had no choice but to freshen up
