    Chapter 836


    Why hadn’t Mr. Y mentioned earlier that he had someone else he loved?

    Caroline was dying to know what kind of woman was lucky enough to catch his eye.


    Remembering that Sean was in the room just next to hers, she quickly wiped the tears from her face.


    That was right! Betty had said that Sean and Mr. Y were childhood friends, so he should know a lot


    about


    Mr. Y.


    With this in mind, Caroline hurriedly opened the door, rushed over to Sean’s room, and knocked on the


    door.


    In the room, Sean was still mad at Kirk for what he had decided to do. When he heard the knock, he


    thought it was just one of the household staff. Annoyed, he yelled, “Get lost.”


    Caroline paled, but at the thought of Mr. Y, she bit her lip and mustered the courage. “Mr. Yates, it’s


    me.”


    Sean froze when he realized that it was Caroline behind the door. He pushed away the annoyance he


    was


    feeling and stood up to open the door for her.


    “Caroline? Is something the matter?” he asked. As ofte, he had always been the one taking the


    initiative


    to talk to her.


    He had done it to get to know more about Gwen, hoping that would help him achieve a breakthrough.


    Caroline had been honest enough to tell him everything he wanted to know about Gwen.


    Sean had felt his heart break a little every time he heard that Gwen and her mother went out to


    confront


    her father, who had private affairs with other women.


    He wished he could go back in time to take Gwen away from that horrible ce.


    Before this, he had assumed that Gwen’s father’s cheating on her mother was the root of all her


    insecurities. Now, though, it seemed that her mother’s actions had made a significant impact on her


    too.


    “I … I want to ask you something about Mr. Y,” Caroline told him frankly.


    Sean stared at her, his eyes alert. “Again? Why?”


    “Don’t worry. I’m just curious about him,” she said.


    “He likes someone a lot, right? He likes her so much that to him, she’s more important than his own


    life.”


    Her question somehow reignited Sean’s rage, and he scoffed, “Yeah, she’s greater than his life, alright.

    It must be wonderful to be able to be loved by Mr. Y.


    Was it bitterness, jealousy, or admiration? A wave of emotions washed over her, overwhelming her so


    much that she didn’t know how she should act around him.


    “… I have something to do. I’m heading upstairs,” she said.


    It was so sudden that Kirk looked at her, confused.


    “What’s wrong?”


    “Nothing,” said Caroline. She felt like there was a thorn in her heart, and she feared that her expression


    would give her away.


    “Mr. Y, please make yourself at home.”


    Her distancing herself from him and this unexpected change in her behavior came as a total surprise to


    Kirk. Confused, he tried to recall if he had said anything to offend her, but nothing came to his mind.


    He was also afraid that she might have remembered something from the past. So all he could do was


    stand still at the same spot, unsure of what to do.


    Luckily for Caroline, her pace was always unsteady when she took the stairs. So it didn’t seem like she


    had just received any kind of mental stimtion. Hence, Kirk didn’t notice anything amiss or worry too


    much about it.


    Still, he messaged Sean and asked him to look after Caroline before he left the house. Even though


    Sean hadn’t replied, Kirk knew that Sean would keep an eye out for her.


    With his heart now at ease, he left to make arrangements for the bodyguards to protect her.


    On the second floor, Caroline heard the rev of a car engine and sulkily protruded her lower lip.
