Chapter 800
Sean asked Kirk, “What about me? What can I do?”
Kirk looked at Sean with a frown, remaining silent.
When Sean impatiently asked his question for the second time, Kirk spoke up, “If I ask you to return home
to help me take care of Carrie, would you do it?”
Sean was silent for a moment. He looked at Gwen.
Gwen said, “Don’t look at me. If you insist on getting my opinion, of … of course, I hope you can go home
and take care of Caroline.
“After all, Kirk can’t be around her right now. He would feel more at ease if someone was there to take
care of her.”
Sean stared at Gwen, a hint of pain swirling in his gaze, “Then … will you go with me?”
Gwen looked at the floor uncertainly. “Why should I go with you? It’s your home, not mine.”
“So you’re saying that you want me to go home and leave you here?”
“I … Can we not talk about this right now…”
Sean looked at Gwen, displeased. “So you don’t want to leave with me, right?”
“Please stop forcing me.” Gwen looked at Sean pleadingly.
“Right now, Carol needs you more than I do…’

“If you don’t want to go, I won’t force you.” Kirk spoke up in the nick of time, interrupting them.
“I’ll get someone else to take care of Carrie.”
“No, I’ll do it,” Sean said with a hint of anger.
In the past, Kirk would have agreed with Sean immediately.
However, he had begun learning to think differently, probably because he had experienced the pain of
being in a relationship.
“You guys should properly discuss this. Don’t act impulsively. Otherwise, you’ll end up like me and Carrie.”
After saying that, Kirk went to his bedroom.
When Sean and Gwen saw how forlorn Kirk was, they both calmed down a great deal.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have snapped just now,” Sean took the initiative to apologize to Gwen.
Gwen also apologized, “Me too.”
Then, they fell silent. No one initiated a conversation.
After a moment, Gwen said tentatively, “I know it’s selfish of me to ask you to take care of Carol. But she’s my best friend. She’ll be in an unfamiliar place. I’ll feel more at ease if you’re there to take care of
her.”
“But after I leave, I won’t be able to see you again.”
“I understand what you want. You want me to follow you. But remember, Sean, we’ve agreed that we’re
just friends. Friends don’t leave the country and return to their home together.”
“So after all this time, I’m still just a friend to you.”
Gwen couldn’t say anything in response.
Sean took a deep breath and smiled gently. “Forget it. I don’t want to end our last conversation with a
fight.”
When Gwen heard his words, she felt both happy and sad. “Thank you.”
Sean glanced at Gwen, but he didn’t say anything in response. “I’ll go check up on Kirk.”
“Okay.”
Meanwhile, Cheryl and Jack were also silent in the car.
After a moment, Cheryl said, “Jack, we’ll never see each other again, right?”
Since Caroline was leaving Easton, Jack would definitely go with her. This may be the last time Cheryl
and Jack got to spend time together.
Her words stunned Jack, and he almost hit the car in front of him.
“Not necessarily. After I leave, I can still come back to see… to see you.”
“Really?” Cheryl asked expectantly.
When Jack saw her large, tearful eyes, he felt his heart pounding in his chest.
Then, he heard himself say, “M-Maybe you can come with us…”
Betrayed by her fiancé, Caroline Evans decides on a whim to marry someone else.
