    Kirk couldn’t resist it when he saw Caroline pout. Still, he managed to hold himself back with hisst


    ounce oí rationality.


    “I can’t apany you there, darling,” he told her.


    “I have something important to attend to on that same day.”


    “What’s so important? What’s more important than me?” Caroline turned away from him so that her


    back faced him, her lower lip protruding as she sulked.


    She had hoped against hope that she could introduce him to everyone during the handover ceremony.


    s, Kirk just wouldn’t give in. She was so mad at him for it.


    Then, Kirk put an arm around her waist and nuzzled her neck. In his low and raspy voice, he muttered,


    “Naturally, everything about you is most important to me.”


    “But I hope that the ceremony will go perfectly. I don’t want to ruin it and make you regret anythingter


    on,” he added.


    “You not attending it will be my greatest regret!” Caroline was fuming already.


    Kirk stared at her and found himself at a loss for words.


    Noticing this, Caroline murmured, “Sorry. I was being too harsh on you. I didn’t mean it. I just hope that


    you can show up on such a significant day for me.”


    She continued, “Besides, I want the world to know you. I want them to know just how wonderful of a


    person you are. You aren’t anything like what they say!”


    Kirk lowered his eyes to look at her. “What did they say?”


    It was Caroline’s turn to fall silent. Those people’sments were much too horrible. She didn’t want


    to tell Kirk about it at all.


    “Tell me about it.” Kirk carried her, sat down, and made her sit on hisp.


    “Tell me.”


    “Nope.” Caroline buried her face in his chest and pretended as if she didn’t know a single thing


    about what she had just said.

    Amused, Kirk chuckled His coarse fingers brushed against her waist as he lowered his voice and said,


    “Why?”


    “There’s nothing nice about what they said- Her words were briefly cut short as his cool lips abruptly


    pressed against hers, giving her a shock.


    She was about to resist when she felt his hands on her back, pinning her close to him. Eventually, her


    protests turned into whimpers, and her knees turned into jelly as she felt herself melt in his


    aims


    After the deed was done, Caroline trembled slightly. Noticing this, Kirk pulled her into his arms and


    patted the back of her head as though he were coaxing a child. “Sleep… Time to sleep


    Momentster, he heard the sound of her even breathing. Looking down, he saw that she had indeed


    fallen asleep, and he breathed a sigh of relief.


    Finally, the matter of attending the handover ceremony had been dealt with. He picked up his phone


    and scanned his call history.


    Three days had passed since the bank had made the announcement. Yet Eddy still hadn’t contacted


    him. How strange.


    Kirk had already suspected that something was off back then. Later, Eddy had even made a show of


    having La’s back. Since then, Kirk had suspected that Eddy had guessed that he was Caroline’s


    husband.


    Since things hade to this, there was no need for Kirk to continue keeping his identity a secret


    anymore.


    But-


    Although he didn’t want to keep it a secret from Eddy, he would surely make thetter suffer if Caroline


    found out about it,

    After considering his options for a moment, he sent Eddy a message.


    “Let’s meet up.”


    It didn’t take long for Eddy to reply. “I’ve been waiting for your message.”


    “You can decide when and where we’re meeting.”
