    Chapter 789


    Just then, someone knocked on the door.


    “Excuse me, is someone in there?”


    Caroline nced at the door and caught a glimpse of the pair of shoes under the door.


    “Yeah.”


    “You’re Ms. Evans, right? Your fiancé said that you’ve been in here for quite some time already. He


    asked


    me to check if you’re okay,” the woman said.


    “Are you okay? Do you need help?”


    Caroline didn’t respond. Gwen heard the woman’s voice on the phone and smiled helplessly. “You


    should


    head back.”


    “I know,” said Caroline.


    “Just remember what I told you. Don’t think about anything else, okay?”


    “Okay,” Caroline replied, her tone meek.


    After hanging up, she opened the door to see a kind-looking olddy standing by the door.


    “Hello.” Thedy greeted Caroline with a smile.


    Caroline greeted thedy out ofmon courtesy. She hasn’t expected this to be the start of a very


    long conversation with thedy, who couldn’t stopplimenting Eddy as she grabbed Caroline’s arm


    and led


    her out of the washroom.


    “It’s my first time seeing such a young man care so much for his fiancée,” said thedy.


    “You didn’t see how impatient he was when he stood by the door yet couldn’te in here just now.


    “Youngsters these days are totally different now.” Thedy sighed. “How interesting.”


    Caroline tossed her a smile as thedy carried on talking. “Your fiancé doesn’t seem like the


    expressive


    type, right?”


    Caroline raised her eyes to look at thedy, who smiled and chuckled.


    “Don’t look at me like that. I’ve been through more than you could ever imagine, so I’m usually right


    when


    ites to people.”

    “Your fiancé seems like the person who would keep an eye out for you all the time despite being a man


    of


    few words.”


    She then added, “You’re lucky to have him.”


    “Really?” Caroline lowered head. She disagreed with thedy.


    Caroline’s gut told her that Eddy wasn’t the kind of person thedy had just described. Besides, she


    had seen what people who gave silently were truly like.


    It sounded like she was roasting thedy when that thought urred to her. All of a sudden, the


    silhouette of a person shed through her mind.


    “Oh my! Did I make you upset?” thedy asked when she noticed that Caroline had been quiet for


    some


    time.


    “I should have held my tongue.’

    Caroline shook her head. “No, you didn’t. Thank you for telling me all of this.”


    After making sure that Caroline wasn’t displeased, thedy beamed. “Thank goodness! You should go


    out


    and meet your fiancé. He’s getting anxious.”


    “Okay.” Caroline nodded and left the washroom.


    She saw Eddy standing by the door, waiting for her. Thedy had said lots of nice things about Eddy


    just


    now.


    But when Caroline saw him at this very moment, memories of the past came flowing back to her like

    water from a bursting dam.


    She remembered the time she had prepared some broth for Eddy and how she had waited patiently for


    hours just so that the broth would taste better. She also remembered how he had knocked over the


    bowl


    of broth that she had even ced before him.


    There were also the times when he had thrown away all the gifts she had specially prepared for him for


    his birthday.


    Was he truly just incapable of expressing himself?


    Caroline approached him, her mind bursting at its seams with questions.


    “Are you okay? You were gone for quite some time,” Eddy asked in concern.
