Chapter 85
Anxious, Caroline blared the car hom. Even so, Kirk stood in place.
Caroline gritted her teeth and made her decision. She slowly drove the car closer.
Kirk still didn’t budge. He watched Caroline drive closer without even blinking.
There was no breeze that night. The light from above shone on his features, making them seem deeper and clearer.
With the glow of the lamplight, Kirk could see Caroline Inside the car, her fingers gripping the steering wheel tightly.
The car slowed, inching ahead gradually.
After a long while, Caroline finally lost it. She slammed on the brakes.
Caroline rushed out of the car. “Are you mad? Don’t you know you could have died if you didn’t move aside?”
Kirk’s lips curled up slightly. He held up the food container. “Did you bring this for me?”
“No!” Caroline denied it without hesitating. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Kirk went up to take Caroline’s hand.
He’d been in such a bad mood when he’d found out Caroline was cooking for Eddy. He’d gone to a boxing club to vent his frustrations. Now, seeing that Caroline had brought him food, his bad mood finally dissipated.
Caroline moved away from him. “I’m leaving. Don’t block my way.”
Kirk pulled Caroline before him. He looked down at her with amusement in his eyes. “Where are you going?”
He moved closer, his mint scent overwhelming Caroline. Caroline felt so bad that she was going to cry. She could only brace herself and try to move away.
“Home, of course.”
“Alright, I’ll go home with you.”
Kirk bit the shell of Caroline’s ear.
Caroline’s heart was thundering. After a brief moment of dazedness, she tried her hardest to push Kirk away. She said icily. “No need. You should …”
Caroline thought of how they’d said they wouldn’t interfere in each other’s personal lives. Hence, she shoved aside the words she’d wanted to say–that Kirk should go back and spend time with Brie. (1)
Caroline turned to head back to the car.
Kirk assumed Caroline was only throwing a tantrum. He picked her up and carried her in his arms.
Even though Caroline protested, he still managed to shove her into the car’s passenger seat.
As for himself, Kirk took the driver’s seat.
Caroline struggled and sat up. Displeased, she asked, “What exactly do you want, Kirk?”
Brie was just upstairs. Shouldn’t he go back and stay with her?
“To go home.” Kirk raised an eyebrow and started the car. Noticing that Caroline seemed like she wanted to make a move, he wamed, “90 % of car accidents are caused by the driver being distracted.”
Caroline was speechless. She’d just thought about making another move.
Kirk glanced at Caroline, who had quieted down. He smiled and took her hand.
This time, she didn’t struggle at all. She was really scared that they might get into a car accident. After all, Eddy had just gotten into one two days ago.
“Why did you suddenly bring me supper?”
Caroline leaned against the car window. She said in displeasure, “Gwen is doing overtime. I thought I could bring you a portion since I was coming here anyway.”
Kirk’s movements paused. His smile disappeared as he tightened his grip on Caroline’s hand.
He didn’t say anything else on the way home. Once they reached, Caroline went straight to her room.
After changing his shoes, Kirk wanted to give the diamond ring to Caroline. However, he gave up on it when he saw Caroline leave for her
room.
For the next few days, Caroline remained in her room. She barely came out at all.
Although they spoke a few words to each other, it was obvious that she didn’t want to talk to him.
The atmosphere at home became oppressive.
Even if Kirk talked about moving to the villa, Caroline was still uninterested.
Feeling frustrated, Kirk went to see Sean.
Although Sean was his countryman, he’d been born abroad and had rarely returned to the country. He’d only come back this time because of Kirk.
Yet, after returning. Sean had realized how much he’d missed out on by not coming back sooner. The country was huge with lots to see, and it was a culinary heaven for those who liked to ea
