    “If preparations are almostplete, why hasn’t he made his move yet?”


    “What do you think?”


    Betty’s eyes widened incredulously. “Because of Caroline?”


    “Yeah, Caroline being here alone unsettles him.”


    Bettyughed and said, “Kirk is already married. When is it going to be your turn?”


    Sean quickly glossed over the subject and hung up when Betty started to urge him to consider


    marriage.

    His phone immediately rang again after the call had ended.


    Sean checked his phone and sighed in relief. It wasn’t a follow-up call from Betty, but rather a call from


    Kirk.


    He answered the call. “Hey, you must be calling to ask about Caroline. She’s doing well now. She went


    out


    to seaside with my mom today.”


    Kirk smiled. “Thanks.”


    Sean responded, “No worries. After all, we’re best friends. When are youing back?”


    “It might take me a couple more days. There’s still a bit of unfinished business here.”


    “Oh, I almost forgot. Adrian told me to let you know that he’s not giving up on Caroline, even if she’s not


    in


    the country. He says you better watch out.”


    Kirk froze for a moment. “I’m heading back tomorrow.”


    “I thought you needed two more days?”


    “It’s not a big deal.” Kirk ended the call after that.


    Sean shook his head in resignation. Was Kirk really that afraid of losing Caroline to Adrian?


    Meanwhile, Yvonne, who had been driven off the beach, regained herposure after venting out her


    frustration. Suddenly, a thought struck her. She grabbed her phone and dialed a number.


    “Look into a woman named Caroline Evans for me. Find out why she left the country all of a sudden.”


    Yvonne proceeded to provide details about Caroline.


    Just a few days ago, she had learned from Aurora that Caroline had been on the verge of marrying


    Eddy.


    So she couldn’t help but find it strange that Caroline had shown up here all of a sudden.

    Furthermore, Yvonne realized that Caroline’s expression during their conversation had beenpletely


    different from before.


    It had been like Caroline was talking to aplete stranger. She couldn’t possibly have been


    pretending.


    Her reactions had been too natural.


    “Understood.”


    “One more thing…


    Yvonne collected her thoughts and asked, “Is Adrian back yet?”


    “Yes, he is.”


    Yvonne’s face lit up. She said in a honeyed voice, “That’s big news! Why didn’t you tell me about it


    earlier?”


    The person on the other end of the line remained silent.


    “When did he return? Is he at the office, or did he go home?” As she spoke, she started the car,


    heading


    out to find him.


    Yvonne had pestered Adrian every day since she had gone abroad.


    She had experienced a sense of emptiness when Adrian had gone back to the country. She hired a


    private


    detective to keep an eye on him because she was worried that he had gone back to the country for


    Caroline.


    The detective replied, “Neither.”


    Yvonne was puzzled. She replied, “Where else could he be going? It can’t be …”


    Her eyes widened, and she clenched her fists when she heard the detective say, “He went to Yates


    Manor.
