Chapter 113 He Took Action
On the weekend, Antonio went to Caroline’smunity again to pick her up for lunch. Today was
the weekend, and Caroline got a day off. The beef noodle restaurant at the night fair became the
ce where Caroline and Antonio visited the most.
Antonio always took his little girlfriend to have beef noodles here and the restaurant owner, Hudson,
had gotten ustomed to it.
After lunch, Antonio directly took Caroline to a cinema.
Caroline felt like she was in a dream. But the popcorn and drink in her hands were both reminding
her that she was once again fooled by Antonio.

However, a smile appeared on her lips and she didn’t even notice it.
She had to admit that Antonio was indeed a joy bringer. If he wanted to treat a person well, then
that person would feel very happy. Thinking about this, she suddenly stopped smiling.
She looked at the boy sitting beside her withplicated emotions in her eyes and decided that
she must tell Antonio straightforwardly that she would not fall for him after watching the movie with
him today.
She would also tell him to stop here.
She admitted that she lusted the way that Antonio looked at her. He just looked at her as if he was
looking at an ordinary girl, without any sarcasm, disdain, or ridicule in his eyes.
She also admitted that she couldn’t bear to part with this beam of light that came out from the silt
because it was more precious than anything in the dark.
However, things were going forward in a way that was out of her control. It was destined that she
couldn’t respond to the love of this boy who always tried to make himself look mature. Since this
was the case, she should make things clear with him as early as possible.
She was trapped too deep in the mire to deserve such happiness.
How could she drag this innocent man to the mire?
Therefore, letting him go was the right thing to do.
Suddenly, she felt warmth on the back of her hand. Caroline suddenly looked down as if she was
burned, only to see Antonio putting his big hand on the back of her hand and holding it tightly. He
said, "Don’t dodge me." His deep, low voice made her unable to say no.
With her heart beating fast, Caroline didn’t resist Antonio holding her hand. She turned to watch the
movie, pretending as if nothing had happened.
She was more determined that she must find the right time to exin to Antonio. She must let him
know that she was not a good woman and that she didn’t deserve happiness, not to mention
responding to his feelings for her.
In the beginning, she thought Antonio was just a boy who was extremely curious about novel things.
Butter, everything that he did and the way he looked at her were too real to be a lie.
In the dark, a big smile appeared on Antonio’s handsome face when Caroline turned to watch the
movie. In the smile, there was a universe of satisfaction and happiness. But she didn’t see it.
Caroline wasn’t paying attention to the movie at all. Therefore, after the movie, she had no idea
what the movie was about. She spent all the time thinking about how to talk to the boy beside her
later.
When the movie came to an end, the lights were lit on. Antonio kept holding Caroline’s hand,
refusing to let go. Following the flow of people, he took her out of the cinema.
Caroline got a bit nervous. She raised her head to look at the back of Antonio. Her palm was all wet
and got sticky. She couldn’t help but look at their holding hands and thought to herself, "Doesn’t he
find two sticky hands holding together kind of ufortable?"
Apparently, different from Caroline who had a heavy heart when watching the movie, Antonio was
very happy. He took Caroline to the parking lot and opened the door of the passenger seat for her,
after which he got in the car too.
"Wait."
"What’s the matter?" Antonio turned to look at her with confusion and asked, "You want to buy
anything?"
When she asked him to wait, the first thing he thought of was that maybe she had forgot to buy
something. The better he treated her, the worse she felt.
She felt like something had choked her throat.
Antonio urged her again, "What would you like to buy? It’s the weekend, so we have plenty of
time."
"Nah," She bit the bullet and said with firmness in her eyes, "Mr. Tucker, we can’t..."
Right at this moment, Antonio’s phone rang.
Antonio took out his phone and took a nce at the screen. Then he slightly knitted his brows,
raised his head, and said to Caroline, "Callie, I need to answer a call." Then he swiped to answer
the call.
An old, majestic voice resounded at the other end of the line, "Come back home now."
Antonio said with discontent, "Grandpa, I still need to attend to some affairs."
"Drop it. You muste back home right now."
He ended the call after saying these words. What Antonio could hear was only the busy tone.
Antonio looked at his phone and his frown became deeper.
"Mr. Tucker, do you have an emergency? I can go back by myself."
Caroline sighed. It seemed like she couldn’t make it clear to him today.
"I’ll send you back to your dormitory." Antonio grabbed Caroline’s arm to stop her from opening the
door or getting off. He continued, "It won’t take much time. It is on my way."
"Okay then, Mr. Tucker. Thank you for the lunch and the movie."
Antonio peeked at Caroline with discontent and said, "Do you have to be so polite? I told you many
times not to call me Mr. Tucker. It sounds so weird."
Then he stepped on the gas and drove to Caroline’s dormitory.
"We arrived. Take care when getting off." He pondered for a while and then said to Caroline who
had gotten out of the car, "Caroline, I hope one day you can stop calling me Mr. Tucker."
Caroline stopped in her track, smiled at Antonio, and said, " I call you Mr. Tucker out of respect. Mr.
Tucker, hurry along. I could tell that you have an emergency."
She turned around after finishing the words, leaving no room for him to say something. She let out a
gentle sigh. It seemed like she couldn’t make it clear to him today and she had to seek another
chance.
A hint of frustration shed across Antonio’s face. The next moment, he immediately cheered up
and stared at the ce where Caroline disappeared. With determination reemerging in his eyes, he
swore that he would open the door to her heart sooner orter, no matter how hard it would be!
It couldn’t be that hard!
As a saint once said, where there is a will, there is a way.
Then he stepped on the gas and drove back home at a fast speed.
In the Tuckers’ mansion…
Harrison Tucker, Antonio’s grandfather, whose hair had all gone grey, was born with a serious face.
Now he looked even graver when he was gazing at Antonio in anger.
"Grandpa." No matter how unbridled Antonio was outside, he was respectful to his grandfather.
Harrison was extremely stereotypical and tough. This was the reason why Antonio didn’t like going
back to the Tuckers’ mansion.
Harrison reached his hand backward, and the old butler behind him immediately put a file package
on his hand.
With a loud sound, Harrison threw the file package before Antonio and snapped, "Have a look by
yourself. See how much the Tucker Group has lost recently."
Antonio bent over and picked up the file package without saying anything. He opened it and quickly
leafed through the documents inside. The more he read, the graver he looked. Then he threw the
file package on the tea table and said, "Grandpa, what happened?" In less than half a month, The
Tucker Group’s fortune had evaporated at an unbelievable speed.
Though he liked seeking joy and was always reluctant to meddle in thepany’s affairs, it didn’t
mean that he was a nothing-for-good.
"How do you have the face to ask me what happened?" Harrison snorted and pointed at Antonio,
shouting, "You’d better think carefully to find out if you’ve offended anyone recently! And who has
the ability to push us to such an extent in half a month that we have to take it seriously?"
All of a sudden, it dawned on Antonio!
"Bentley Shawn!" Antonio squeezed out Bentley’s name through gritted teeth.
