    Caroline replied, “Speaking of buying you a meal, I think I’ve mentioned it several times already.” As


    she spoke, she went to get Adrian some water.


    When he epted the ss of water, Adrian couldn’t avoid touching Caroline’s skin. The touch was


    like being shocked by electricity. It made Adrian’s face turn red.


    Adrian ducked his head and gulped down some water to still his rapidly beating heart. “Right. Are you


    free this weekend? Maybe we can have that meal.”


    After drinking her own water, Caroline raised her head to find that Adrian’s face was red. “Why is


    your face so red?” she asked.


    Adrian’s mind buzzed, the blush spreading to his neck as sweat dripped. He coughed. “I …”


    “You must be hot.” Caroline went to find the remote control. “I think men run hotter than women,


    so you sweat easier.”


    Adrian’s heart dislodged from his throat. He felt a little disappointed.


    Soon, Caroline found the remote control and turned the air conditioning on. Then, she turned to


    head into the bedroom and brought out a nket for Gwen. She covered Gwen with the nket


    and tucked her in.


    Adrian watched Caroline do this the whole time. As he saw her tuck Gwen in, he blurted out, “That


    looks reallyfortable.”


    Caroline looked up at him in confusion.

    Adrian instantly panicked. “It’s just… it’s just that watching you cover Gwen with the nket


    makes it look reallyfortable.


    “It reminds me of when I was a kid and my mom covered me with a nket. Yes, that must be it.


    Actually, I don’t understand why Eddy won’t marry you when you’re so great.”


    After saying that, Adrian seemed to realize btedly that he had crossed a line. “Sorry, I …”


    Caroline shook her head. “It’s alright, I don’t mind.”


    Adrian watched Caroline carefully. Once he was sure that she wasn’t mad, he said, “Have you… let


    it go?”


    “Yes, I let it go a long time ago.”


    “Your husband helped you let it go, didn’t he?” Adrian asked bitterly.


    Caroline blinked a few times, hiding the emotion in her eyes. Even so, Adrian felt that something was


    amiss.


    “Did you two… get into a fight?” He clenched his fists, trying hard to settle his roiling feelings.


    Caroline forced a smile. “You can say that, I think?”


    “Can you tell me about it?” Adrian looked at Caroline with an anticipatory look. There were


    goosebumps on his skin.


    Suddenly, Gwen’s mumbling came from the couch. “Go away. All men are trash. Go away…”


    Caroline gave Adrian an awkward smile.

    But Adrian wasn’t paying attention to Gwen. His attention waspletely fixed on Caroline. “You can


    tell me. I don’t mind letting you rant.”


    Seeing the sincerity in Adrian’s eyes, Caroline seemed to think of something. She immediately looked


    away and grimaced. “There’s nothing much to talk about. Just… a fight between a married


    couple…


    ”


    “But you don’t look happy at all,” Adrian pointed out.


    “You’repletely different from when I first saw you at Thorne Corporation.” As he spoke, he


    stepped forward.


    “Back then, you were so happy, like a flower in bloom. Now, you’re like a ship that’s been drifting


    about for years, only wanting to make harbor.”


    Adrian took another step forward. “Actually, when you…‘


    “Adrian!” At the very same time Caroline spoke, the doorbell rang.


    Saved by the bell, Caroline walked to the door. “Let me see who that-”


    As the door opened wider and Caroline saw the person outside clearly, her eyes widened further.
