    Chapter 784


    Caroline shrank in the seat as her eyes fell on the rows of cars behind them. The scenery outside


    looked so familiar yet strange to her somehow.


    The buildings looked familiar as if she had seen them all before, but she found it strange because they


    weren’t simr to the ones in her memories.


    They towered over her and seemed even cleaner than what she could recall.


    About an hourter, they finally arrived at Belrene Square.


    Caroline and Eddy had just gotten out of the car when they heard someone yelling. “Help! Help!


    There’s a


    robber!”


    The next second, someone dashed passed Caroline. Before she could react, Eddy had stepped


    forward and grabbed the robber by the cor.


    The robber turned and paled when he saw that it was Eddy who had stopped him. He wanted to flee,


    but Eddy threw him to the ground with such a force that he fell on all fours.


    The handbag flew out of the robber’s hands. Hey on the ground, looking all haggard and


    embarrassed.


    Caroline picked up the handbag and handed it over to thedy who had been robbed. “Here. Your


    bag.”


    Thedy turned the bag over and over again to check its condition before turning to face Eddy and


    Caroline.


    “Thank you so much! You two are so kind! I had just bought this, and it would have been gone for good


    if


    it hadn’t been for the two of you!”


    After taking a look at thedy standing before her, Caroline nced at her hand, which was tightly


    sped in Eddy’s.


    Her heart didn’t flutter, yet the silhouette of a person popped up in her mind.


    She wanted to recall what the person looked like but snapped back to reality when thedy said, “This


    man is your husband, right? He’s a good man. You’re so lucky to have someone like him.”


    Caroline simply stared at thedy, who had stars in her eyes. Despite thedy’s words, Caroline didn’t


    feel


    happy or proud at all.


    “Thank you,” she said curtly.


    Soon, the cops arrived. After the robber was arrested, thedy left too.

    “Let’s head inside,” said Eddy as he looked at Caroline with a smile.


    He now understood that thedy just now had merely been trying to make him seem like a hero in front


    of – Caroline. It was quite the trick, but he wasn’t sure if she would buy it.


    His eyes were still locked on Caroline to see her reaction. To his dismay, she showed no sign of


    ádmiration for him.


    “Okay,” she replied. Instead of bringing up the incident that happened just an moment ago, she simply


    followed him to the restaurant they were headed for.


    That made Eddy rather dejected.


    When they arrived at the restaurant, Caroline noticed that they were the only people there with the


    exception of the staff.


    “Have we …e to the wrong ce?” she asked.


    Seeing how deserted the Faromish restaurant was, she couldn’t help but take a step back in rm.


    A waiter hurriedly came to her and said, “You’re Ms. Evans, right? You aren’t mistaken. Mr. Eddy rented


    out the entire ce.’

    Puzzled, Caroline turned to Eddy. “Eddy, did you rent the entire restaurant?”


    “Um, yes,” Eddy muttered.


    “Let’s go.”


    They had just stepped into the restaurant when they were showered with flower petals at the door.


    “How romantic!” Caroline gleefully reached out to grab some of the petals and ced them in her palm.


    “Eddy, did you set this up on purpose?”


    Eddy wanted to say “yes”, but when faced with her smile, he couldn’t find it in himself to lie to her. “No,
