Chapter 411
Adrian didn’t want to bring up that man. “I’m not sure, maybe because we haven’t gotten any
information about Eddy’s second uncle.
“After all, I heard the Collinses had signed a contract with him, and now they’re joining the
entertainment industry together.”
At the mention of Eddy’s second uncle, Andrea said, “That man is really mysterious. I guess no one
except the Morrisons knows what he looks like.”
She paused, then continued, “Because his merger of various cosmetic brands was too high–profile,
many people thought he was a conspicuous person.
“They waited for his official announcement to find out which field of work he would join this
time. Unexpectedly, he did all of this under the radar.”
If SY Group hadn’t appeared in several investments, the Sorkins wouldn’t have discovered that SY
Group and the Collinses were cooperating so much.
“It was strange for Eddy’s second uncle to be so conspicuous the last time. Keeping a low profile is
his preference,” Adrian said.
“That’s right,” Andrea agreed. “That’s why many people are speculating about why he made such
a splash in the news back then.”
Adrian had already entered the boarding lounge. He looked around and quickly found Caroline.
“Maybe I’ll find out when I go to Macldo.” He hastened his pace, and he began talking faster.
“We’ll talk about this later, Andrea. Oh yeah, remember to cover for me. I’ll head to Macldo after I
handle things in Macovo.”
“Okay, no problem!”
Adrian had already hung up the phone when he approached Caroline.
Caroline asked with a smile, “Were you talking to your girlfriend?”
Adrian’s smile froze, but he still nodded, so Caroline would lower her guard around him.
Gwen asked, “Why don’t you tell us about your girlfriend, Mr. Sorkin?”
1/2
Adrian’s gaze drifted to Gwen with a faint smile on his face. Outsiders had a more objective view
of things, so he couldn’t underestimate Caroline’s best friend.
“Sure. We met through a matchmaker.”
Gwen asked, “But an outstanding man like you doesn’t need to go on blind dates, do you?”
Adrian said in return, “Matchmaking has nothing to do with how excellent you are. It just allows
people to find the person who best suits them in the shortest possible time.”
Gwen disagreed. “That’s not necessarily true. Some matchmakers just want to make a quick buck.
They would pair anyone as long as they’re living human beings.”
Adrian smiled. “I’ve never encountered that before.”
He turned his head and asked Caroline, “Have you encountered a situation like this, Carrie?”
Caroline looked up at Adrian blankly, as if she had been called out. “Huh?”
“What are you so lost in thought about?” Adrian asked with a bright smile.
Caroline shook her head. She wasn’t thinking of anything. She felt like her heart was anticipating
something, but she didn’t know what exactly she was hoping for.
It wasn’t until she got on the plane and instinctively looked at the security gate that she realized
what she was waiting for.
She was expecting Kirk to show up at the gate to see her, like those romantic scenes in a TV show.
Caroline wanted to laugh at herself. She felt like she had been poisoned with a very, very potent
drug.
It was clear Kirk had deceived her, so why was she still thinking about him? Maybe she wouldn’t
think about him anymore after she left Easton.
With her mind in a trance, Caroline gradually fell asleep.
When she woke up, she was shocked to find Kirk beside her. She almost jumped to her feet in
shock, but Kirk grabbed her wrist.
“Darling …” Kirk looked at her affectionately.
He said, “I didn’t marry another woman abroad. The evidence you saw was fake.”
Chapter 412
Kirk’s gaze was fathomless and charming. Caroline unexpectedly found herself getting lost in his
beautiful eyes.
By the time she returned to her senses, Kirk had already leaned forward to kiss her lips.
She hurriedly raised her hand to grab him. “I don’t believe you. If you aren’t married, why would
the City Hall in Macldo record that you’re married in your information?”
“Maybe there’s an error in the system.” Kirk held her shoulder and looked at her earnestly.
“Darling, we’ve been together for so long. I’m sure you know what kind of person I am.”
His words made Caroline relax her grip. He was right. After being together for so long, apart from this incident, Kirk had been the perfect husband.
She looked up at Kirk. “C–can I really trust you?”
“Of course,” Kirk reassured, slowly placing Caroline’s hand on his chest.
The coldness in Caroline’s eyes slowly dissipated when she felt Kirk’s strong heartbeat with her
fingertips.
Just as she was about to tell him she trusted him, a woman holding a child suddenly appeared
behind Kirk like a ghost.
The woman mocked, “Haha! I can’t believe you fell for our lies! Not only are we married, but we
also have a child. You poor, miserable mistress!”
“No-”
Caroline suddenly opened her eyes. When she saw a pair of surprised eyes, she realized she had
had a nightmare.
She held her head and awkwardly apologized to the air stewardess, who had come over after
hearing noises.
The air stewardess asked softly, “Do you want a glass of water?”
“No, it’s fine.”
“Sure.”
1/3
Caroline and Adrian had spoken at the same time.
The stewardess looked at them questioningly
Adrian said, Please bring a glass of water.”
Caroline nodded at his words. After the stewardess left, she sat up straight and took a tissue from
Adrian “Where’s Gwen?”
“I saw her looking very sleepy, so I asked her to rest in first class. Did you have a nightmare?”
Caroline nodded.
The stewardess brought a glass of water, and Caroline drank it in one gulp.
“Do you want some more water?” Adrian asked gently.
Caroline shook her head, finally feeling more awake. “I’ll go and wake Gwen up.‘
Just as she was about to stand up, Adrian grabbed her wrist. The scene in her dream came
rushing back to her mind, and she ripped her hand away from Adrian.
Adrian felt a spark the moment he touched Caroline’s skin. But when she ripped her hand away,
he quickly felt despair envelop him.
“I’m really sorry. It wasn’t on purpose.” Caroline apologized.
She didn’t know what to say. She couldn’t explain to Adrian that she reacted so harshly because
of her nightmare.
Suppressing his hurt feelings, Adrian looked up again with a bright smile.
“It’s okay. I know you didn’t mean it. Also, don’t wake Gwen up. She’s probably sleeping
soundlessly right now.
“If you wake her up, she’ll definitely get revenge. Besides, I’m a grown man. I’m not that
pretentious.”
Caroline felt much better after hearing his words. “Thank you, Adrian. You’re a really good person.”
“1
Adrian lowered his head, smiling wryly. Did Caroline just friendzone him?
“It’s a pity no one really loves me, no matter how good I am.” His voice was bitter, and he sounded
like a wounded cub.

Adrian looked out the window sadly, looking melancholic. I would rather have my family’s
compassion than my lover’s affection.”
Caroline blinked in confusion. “Does your family… not treat you well?”
Adrian had tried to gain Caroline’s sympathy by selling his sob story, but he was briefly stunned
by her words.
“I… I’m the Sorkin’s illegitimate child. Why would they treat me well?”
He looked at Caroline strangely. “Don’t you know that?”
Caroline blinked, and it finally dawned on her. She had wondered why the Sorkins had introduced
Adrian to the daughter of the Hackett family.
After all, for them to make a smart match, they would definitely match him with the ladies from
the other big four families. But it turned out that Adrian was an illegitimate child.
Adrian couldn’t help but frown at Caroline’s surprised expression. “Everyone made a big fuss
when I was brought home. Didn’t you know?”
It was understandable that Caroline hadn’t recognized him at first. After all, they had never
crossed paths again after she had gone abroad.
But everyone knew he was an illegitimate child. There was no way Caroline didn’t know about it.
“That must have happened before I was eight, right?”
Caroline explained, “I have no memory of what happened before I turned eight.”
Adrian was silent for a moment. Then, as if he thought of something, he murmured, “That
explains why you were sent abroad during that time.”
“Huh?” Caroline didn’t hear Adrian and looked at him curiously.
Adrian looked into Caroline’s eyes and shook his head. “Nothing.”
Caroline didn’t delve deeper into this.
After arriving in Macovo, Adrian said he hadn’t bought a ticket for his next flight. He used this
excuse to follow Caroline and Gwen to the hotel they previously stayed in.
1/2
It was strange, ni
with Caroline.
Although it wasn’t planned, it felt as if the universe was paying him back for his losses. Perhaps God had finally started to favor him.
When the three arrived at the hotel, the manager immediately recognized them.
The manager said awkwardly, “Oh, this gentleman has been here too. I can’t believe you know
each other. Isn’t that amazing?”
Caroline and Gwen looked at Adrian. “You’ve been here too?”
Embarrassed, Adrian said, “I was passing by.”
“Really? Why do I have the feeling you were here looking for someone?”
The manager wanted to keep talking, but Adrian interrupted him. “Can you help us check into our
room? We’re all a little hungry.”
The manager hadn’t gotten the answer he wanted, but the customers had the final say. So he had
no choice but to let the receptionist check them into their rooms.
After checking in, several staff members helped move the luggage to Caroline and Gwen’s room.
Since Sean wasn’t here this time, they stayed in an ordinary hotel room.
Adrian stayed in the room beside them. “Shall we go downstairs for some food after a while?”
Caroline hummed in assent and started to sort out her belongings. After five minutes, Adrian
knocked on the door. He asked through the door, “Are you done, Caroline?”
Caroline was about to open the door when Gwen grabbed her. “Hang on, Carol.”
“What’s wrong?”
“I have something to ask you.‘
“Go ahead.”
“Are you planning to divorce Kirk?”
Gwen’s question tugged at Caroline’s heartstrings, and her stomach dropped. At this moment, she
realized she had never thought about this until now.

Chapter 414
Caroline only regamed her composure after blinking desperately several times 1
Gwen was exasperated that Caroline hadn’t considered this “Carol, if you haven’t considered i
before, you can start doing so
“Kirk’s polygamy is a sure thing, and I don’t want you to destroy yourself in this relationship A great philosopher once said that the best way to move on from a relationship is time or another
person”
Seeing Caroline remain silent, Gwen frowned in disapproval. “Or do you plan to forgive him and
spend your life sharing him with another woman?”
Caroline remembered her nightmare on the plane, and her face turned pale.
She shook her head. “No! I don’t want that!”
This was a matter of principle. If there were a third person in this relationship, she would rather
not be a part of it.
“Then, are you-”
At this time, there was another knock on the door. Adrian asked, “Did something happen, Caroline?
“We’re coming!” Gwen responded, holding Caroline’s hand. “Carol, you don’t have to come up with
an answer right now. Just think this through. It’s an important decision.”
Caroline nodded blankly,
“Let’s go have some food for now.”
Caroline took several deep breaths, forcing the issue to the back of her mind. Then, she followed
Gwen to the restaurant,
However, when she saw the many couples in the restaurant, Gwen’s question resurfaced in her
mind.
“What’s wrong, Carol?” Adrian had noticed how absentminded Caroline had been all night, and he
couldn’t help but worry,

“Carol!” Gwen noticed it as well. She gently patted the back of Caroline’s hand.
“Did you not get enough rest on the plane?”
Caroline returned to her senses and saw Gwen giving her a look.
Her head felt like mush. She was dizzy, and she couldn’t hear anything. She could only nod her head, trusting Gwen to handle things.
“Then, I’ll take you back to our room.” Gwen put down the cutlery and called the staff to pack their food.
Adrian didn’t see the point in eating alone, so he also stood up.
The three of them returned to the third floor together. At the door to their room, Gwen supported Caroline and said to Adrian with a smile, “Sleep well, Mr. Sorkin.”
Adrian looked at Caroline worriedly. “Just knock on my door if you need anything.”
Gwen nodded. She helped Caroline into the room and then gave her a glass of water.
“Carol, was I wrong to remind you about it?” She looked at Caroline, feeling very regretful. Caroline wouldn’t be so troubled if she hadn’t brought it up.
Caroline returned to her senses and hurriedly waved her hands.
“No, you were right to do that. Haha, you know, it’s funny how I’ve never considered divorcing Kirk,
even after finding out he has multiple marriages.
“What do you think is wrong with me? Were my limits that lax? But I was never this forgiving when I found out Eddy and Layla were together
”
Gwen felt helpless looking at Caroline’s hurt and confused expression. She was worried for her
friend.
She had only asked Caroline about divorce because of Adrian. The way he looked at Caroline was
clearly anything but platonic.
Gwen had never considered bringing Caroline and Adrian together, but when she saw how hurt
Caroline was, she realized there was no point in her friend giving up everything for one man.
That was why she asked Caroline about divorcing. However, she now really regretted doing so.

“Carol, is there anything I can do to make you feel better? Gwen held Caroline’s hand, feeling very

Caroline weakly shook her head. “I’m fine. I. I have to deal with the divorce eventually.”
She closed her eyes and let out another breath. Then, as if she had made a big decision, she said, ” But I’ll handle this after we return to Easton.”
Although running away from a problem was disgraceful, she could at least enjoy herself in Macovo for the time being.
“Okay.” Gwen squeezed Caroline’s hand, wanting to give every bit of her strength to her.

Caroline hugged Gwen’s waist, nuzzling her face in her neck. “It’s a good thing you’re around,
Gwen
The two friends talked some more before falling asleep.
However, in the room right next to theirs, Adrian couldn’t sleep at all. Caroline’s absentminded
look filled his entire mind.
Although she hadn’t said why she was acting this way, his intuition told him that it had something to do with her husband.
Adrian got even more jealous at the thought of that man and couldn’t sleep. That man had the world’s greatest blessing, yet he didn’t know how to appreciate her!
Meanwhile, at the Collins family’s home in Easton, Jane whispered, “What do you mean you can’t find them? How can you not find three living people?”
The butler also lowered his voice. “Mrs. Collins, we’ve already sent everyone we could, but we still can’t find anyone. Was… was there maybe an error in your information?”
Jane couldn’t resist raising her voice. “No way there’s an error! I went to get these three people …”
Noticing her mistake, she quickly covered her mouth and lowered her voice again.
“No way. It can’t be wrong. I heard these men often showed up at this bar and slept with many
girls. They’ve always been fine, so how could they suddenly go missing?”
Drugging Caroline had been Jane and Daphne’s idea,
To avoid bringing attention to themselves, they had even hired three people in the bar who had
nothing to do with them and were experts in this sort of thing.
They thought they had this plan in the bag and that they would get Caroline’s nude photos in a
few days. They had never expected the three men to vanish from the face of the earth without a
trace.
In a moment of desperation, Jane had asked the butler to investigate the three men. She couldn’t
let Howard find out what she had done.

Just then, the butler’s phone rang. He said apologetically, “Let me take this, Mrs Collins ”
Jane waved her hand impatiently at his words.
The butler answered the call. The caller said something that made the butler even gloomier He
immediately hung up the phone and looked at Jane solemnly.
Jane thought it was work–related and said unhappily, “Just go…‘
“Mrs. Collins… They’ve found the three men.”
#
Jane’s eyes lit up. “Where are they? Bring them to see me immediately.”
The butler’s face turned pale. “I’m afraid I can’t do that.”
Jane frowned. “What? If you can’t do such a simple thing, what’s the point of having you around?”
“It’s not that.”
The butler explained, “T–they’ve been exiled to Xyridonia. I even heard that their eyes had been
gouged out. I’m not sure if they lost their eyes before or after they went into Xyridonia.”
Jane’s face turned pale, and she slumped back in her chair.
Xyridonia was an uncivilized country filled with barbarians. If three civilized people were thrown
in that lion’s den, they would probably end up as a pile of bones.
“How did this happen?” she asked in shock. They had been perfectly fine, so how had they ended
up in Xyridonia?
The butler shook his head with lingering fear. “We’re not clear about the details yet. But I’m
guessing they may have upset someone they shouldn’t have.”
Jane let out a shaky breath. The three men had done plenty of vile things, so it probably had
nothing to do with her attacking Caroline.
At the thought of this, she slowed down her rapid heartbeat. It was just a pity that her brilliant
plan had fallen apart so soon.

They didn’t know Macovian, but thankfully, translation apps existed
“Oh.” After coming out of the first house, Gwen was so tired that she leaned into Caroline’s arms.
She asked, “Do you know what I’m thinking about?”
Caroline said, “You wish Sean was here.”
Gwen nuzzled herself into Caroline’s arms. “You read my mind, Carol.”
At this moment, Gwen had realized the benefits of having Sean around.
He could speak Macovian like Kirk, but he claimed he wasn’t as proficient in the language as Kirk. However, during their last visit, Gwen saw that he didn’t have any problems communicating.
He was totally different from them. Although they could use translation apps, communicating
was too troublesome.
However, the Macovians loved the things Caroline had brought, and they were clearly more enthusiastic than last time. They could’ve talked more if it hadn’t been for the language barrier.
Unfortunately, the hostel owner was too far from the scene, so he didn’t see what happened.
Caroline and Gwen had no choice but to head to the next house. The testimonies of the second
home’s owner were similar to those of the previous one.
He was also very enthusiastic, but Caroline and Gwen couldn’t get any helpful information due to
the language barrier.
After visiting several homes in a row, Gwen became a little discouraged. “I think with my bad
luck, I won’t be able to find any witnesses.”
Yet Caroline was very optimistic. “Don’t say that. Besides, we came to Macovo to relax. If we can
find some evidence, everyone’s happy.
“If not, just think of all this as a stroll to relieve ourselves. You can’t misplace your priorities.”
Gwen pondered over her words and smiled. “You’re right. I came here to relax because I was
heartbroken. I’m not here to find evidence.
“Since it’s still early, let’s ask the driver to take us around to look at the scenery.”

Although Macovo was a small place, the scenery was beautiful. They felt like they were in a
painting as they drove through the streets.
The two women gradually forgot their worries and immersed themselves in the beauty of the
things around them.
However, tensions were rising in the hotel lobby at this moment.
Kirk, who had just gotten off the plane and entered the hotel, unexpectedly met Adrian in the
lobby. He narrowed his eyes at him like a beast whose territory had been invaded.
Sean immediately noticed that something was wrong with his friend. He followed Kirk’s gaze and
looked at Adrian. He asked, “Do you know him?”
Kirk frowned, remaining silent.
Noticing Kirk, Adrian looked down at him mockingly. “What a coincidence; we meet again.”
Adrian walked to Kirk and teased him, saying, “By the way, we’ve met so many times, and I still
don’t know what to call you.”
“Caroline’s husband!” Kirk gritted his teeth. After discovering Caroline had arrived in Macovo, he
had rushed here without stopping.
He hadn’t expected Adrian to be here too. When he thought of the possibility that Caroline and
Adrian might be traveling together, he clenched his fists tighter.
Adrian glanced at Caroline, who had just walked through the door, then at the veins on Kirk’s
clenched fist.
He smirked and said, “You won’t be her husband any longer. Caroline told me the first thing she’ll
do after returning home is divorce you.”
Kirk could no longer hold back his anger and jealousy. Losing his rationality, he punched Adrian
in the face.
Chapter 418
When Kurk hit Adrian’s face with his fist, Caroline happened to step through the hotel entrance
So she clearly saw Kirk swinging his fist and Adrian falling to the ground.
Furious, she ran in front of Adrian without hesitation and blocked Kirk. “What the hell are you
doing, Kirk?”
Kirk calmed down immediately in the face of Caroline, who had suddenly shown up.
However, when he realized she was protecting Adrian, he lost his rationality again. He clenched
his fists tightly, digging his nails into his palm. “Are you protecting him?”
“He’s my friend! Why are you hurting him?” Caroline glared back at him.
He was going too far! It was fine if he only hurt her, but now he wouldn’t even let her friends off
the hook!
Kirk gritted his teeth and asked again, “Are you protecting him?”
Caroline didn’t know what he was obsessed with, but compared to his question, she would rather
have him apologize to Adrian. “You hurt someone! You should apologize to my friend!”
“What if I don’t?” Kirk was about to snap.
Sean also noticed that his friend was already on the verge of snapping. He hurriedly stepped
forward to grab Kirk. “Kirk, calm down. Caroline, he’s feeling a little irritable because he hasn’t
rested for days. I’ll apologize on his behalf. Then, I’ll get him to apologize after he calms down.”
“No need.”
Caroline said coldly, “I don’t want to see him again.‘
After that, she helped Adrian up, “Let’s go, Adrian.”
As Adrian leaned on Caroline’s shoulder, he couldn’t resist looking back at Kirk. When he saw the
murderous jealousy in his eyes, he smirked triumphantly.
Kirk waved his fist again, trying to rush forward.
Sean desperately hugged Kirk’s waist. “Kirk!”

But he couldn’t afford to get distracted, so he had no choice but to stop the angry beast that was
his friend
When the elevator behind him closed, Sean snarled, “Kirk, since when are you such a brat? Can’t
you tell that man is provoking you on purpose?”
Kirk growled, “Then, let me kill him.”
“If he dies, your relationship with Caroline will be over.”
Sean’s words finally had an effect on Kirk. He stopped rushing to the elevator. Instead, he turned
around and slammed his fist on the glass door frame beside him.
The sound of glass breaking attracted the manager’s attention. Sean took out a card and handed it
to the manager, his eyes landing on the cuts on Kirk’s hand.
“I’ll help you bandage these up first. Use that time to calm down.”
Kirk frowned and said nothing in response. Sean pushed him out of the hotel and took him to a
nearby clinic to bandage his wounds.
Meanwhile, Caroline brought Adrian back to his room. Seeing the bruises on his handsome face,
she said guiltily, “I’m sorry.”
Adrian smiled, but it stretched on his wound. Then, the smile on his face instantly turned
ferocious. “It’s not even your fault, so why are you apologizing to me?”
Caroline said, “He’s my husband. Since he’s in the wrong, I have to apologize on his behalf.”
“Aren’t you both fighting? It seemed like it’s pretty serious…” Adrian looked at Caroline cautiously.
“Haven’t you thought about-”
Caroline understood what he wanted to say, but she didn’t answer him.
Instead, she changed the subject. “Do you have any medicine here? If not, we have to get this
treated outside.”
Adrian’s eyes followed Caroline’s movements. After a moment’s hesitation, he made up his mind
and asked again, “Caroline, have you never thought of divorcing him?”

Caroline had never treated Adrian this coldly before.
But now, because he had brought up divorce, she …
He said, “But since he hit me, aren’t you worried that-”
“He won’t.” Caroline fully trusted Kirk when it came to matters of physical violence.
“He wouldn’t do something like that.”
Adrian immediately became speechless. The silence wrapped around his chest like a web. After a
while, he smiled. “You’re right. He wouldn’t.”
Caroline looked at him, confused by his words.
Adrian smiled, feeling resigned. “He punched me just now because I provoked him on purpose. So
he wasn’t in the wrong. I’m the wrongdoer here.”
Caroline’s expression shifted at his words. “Are you telling the truth?”
Her expression tugged at Adrian’s heart, but he still said with a smile, “Yeah.”
“Why did you do that?” Caroline was angry.
Adrian looked at her, hurt swirling in his gaze. All the things he wanted to say were stuck in his
throat.
After a moment, he smiled sadly and apologized, “I’m sorry. I just wanted to test him, but I never
thought it would cause such a big misunderstanding.”
“You shouldn’t be apologizing to me,” Caroline snapped at him. Then, she ran out of the room.
Looking at the empty door, Adrian smiled. It stretched his wound again.
However, he didn’t feel any pain this time, probably because the pain in his heart overshadowed
the physical pain in his cheek.
He had known for a long time that Caroline and her husband had a very good relationship. But he
hadn’t expected Caroline to care about him so much.
Even when they were fighting, they were on the same side.

After Caroline left Adrian’s room, she went straight to the first floor. Yet, Kirk and Sean were no longer in the lobby.
She quickly asked the receptionist, who said they had already left. But she didn’t know where they had gone.
Caroline ran to the door, feeling dizzy from anxiety. Then, she realized that they might have gone to a nearby clinic. She ran to the front desk again and asked if a clinic was nearby.
The receptionist’s English wasn’t very good, and she had a Macovian accent. Caroline used a lot of effort to figure out what she was saying.
Although she was a bundle of nerves, she tried her best to listen to the receptionist’s directions
patiently.
After getting the directions, she thanked the receptionist and hurriedly left the hotel. Following
the receptionist’s directions, Caroline headed to the nearby clinic.
Half an hour later, she finally arrived at the clinic. She happily opened the door, only to find the small clinic packed with people.
This was probably the largest clinic nearby, so the Macovians were here to see a doctor.
Caroline searched around, but she still couldn’t find Kirk. The excitement she felt dissipated in an
instant.
Having no choice, she squeezed her way to the nurse’s desk and asked if two foreigners had been
there.

One of the two people was Angelo, Dolly’s husband. Dolly was the woman she had met on her
previous trip to Macovo. His body looked more plump.
The woman beside him wasn’t the bejeweled woman from before, nor was she Dolly. Instead, she
was a young woman who looked to be in her 20s.
Angelo didn’t seem to recognize Caroline. He walked to the nurse’s desk, asked for a box of
contraceptives, and then left.
Behind Caroline, the nurse sighed softly.
Although she couldn’t understand Macovian, noticing the nurse’s yearning look, she couldn’t help
but ask, “Do you know that gentleman?”
The nurse first looked at Caroline in surprise. Then, noticing she wasn’t Macovian, she said
warmly, “Of course, he’s the owner of this clinic.”
“He’s your boss?” Caroline hadn’t known about this.
However, this explained why the women around him were more beautiful than the others. After
all, clinic owners made quite a lot of money.
“Yes, and he isn’t married yet. I wonder which lucky girl will get to marry him.” With that said, the
nurse sighed enviously again.
Caroline whipped her head around in shock. “He isn’t married?”
“That’s right.”
“Doesn’t he have a wife?”
The nurse laughed. “I’ve been working here for over a decade. There’s no way I wouldn’t know if he
had a wife.”
Caroline was about to ask a few more questions when her phone rang.
Gwen had texted her. “Carol, where are you? Kirk didn’t see you when he returned just now, so he
went to look for you.”
Caroline replied, “I’ll head back immediately.”
