Chapter 833
Night fell. On the second floor, Caroline looked down to see a familiar car come into sight. She darted down the stairs like an exuberant child. She wanted to see Kirk.
Betty smiled helplessly at such a sight. “Careful,” she said.
Her eyes filled with envy as she nudged Sean’s arm. “Oh, to be young.”
Sean knew what Betty was going to say next. He wasted no time in stopping her. “Stop, Mom. I know what you’re going to say. Don’t worry, I’ll bring a wife home soon.”
This was the first time Sean had given in to her nagging, which gave Betty quite a surprise. She wanted to ask him about it, but he quickly hushed her by putting a finger to his lips.
In the end, Betty could only bury her curiosity and turn to look at Caroline. The sight that met her stunned her. It was as though it had popped right out of a drama.
Caroline stood in front of Kirk with the rays of the sun basking her in warm, golden light. Although Kirk was wearing a mask, Betty could somehow tell that his gaze was brimming with love.
Even though he was far from her and she couldn’t see his eyes, she was sure of it. She knew they must be filled with the same adoring look he had given Caroline at dinner the other night.
“Mr. Y.” Caroline stared at him, her eyes full of joy. She looked a little flustered now that she was standing
so close to him.
Kirk looked down at her. She seemed to be in much better condition now. Her complexion wasn’t pale.
anymore, and her eyes shone.
It seemed like staying abroad had helped her get away from the jumbled-up mess of the past. It helped
her get more used to this life of not remembering her past.
Hiding the pain in his eyes, he smiled and said, “Why were you in such a hurry?”
“I …” A blush crept up Caroline’s face as she stammered.
“I don’t know. I saw you coming, so I rushed over to you.”
Kirk reached up to ruffle her hair but stopped abruptly, as if he were reminded of something. He let his
hand fall, but she raised her head to look at him, letting his hand fall on her head.
She didn’t seem bothered by it. She simply stared into his eyes, the warmth in her gaze as unmistakable
as daylight. It was exactly how she had looked at him in the past.
Panicking, Kirk froze. As he stared into Caroline’s eyes, he gradually relaxed and ruffled her hair.
That made Caroline suddenly realize that his hand was on her head. She couldn’t see it, but she could feet
it, and it tugged at her heartstrings.
Just then, they heard Betty call out to them from afar. “How long do you two plan to stand there?”
Caroline’s face flushed red when she realized that there were others around.
Embarrassed, she lowered her head and mumbled, “Let’s head in.”
“Okay,” said Kirk.
She had merely taken a couple of steps when he grabbed her hand. Confused, she turned to look back at
him.
“You don’t have to come over to me because I will rush over to you anyway,” Kirk told her.
Caroline froze. It took her a moment to snap out of her daze, and when she did, her face was red.
When they reached the living room, Betty noticed her blush and teased, “Why, Caroline, what’s wrong with your face? Did you eat one too many apples? Your face is as red as an apple.”
Caroline hung her head low, colossally embarrassed. “I’ll head to the kitchen and see what we’re having
for dinner tonight.”
“I’ll go with you then,” said Betty as she followed Caroline.
Now, only Kirk and Sean were left in the living room.
“What do you plan to do?” Sean asked out of nowhere.
“Huh?” Kirk was puzzled by the question.
“About the fact that Caroline’s feeling insecure.”
“I’ve already ordered all the men in the shadows to watch over her in secret. Nobody can harm her when she’s recovering,” answered Kirk.
“All of them?” Sean exclaimed in shock. He knew Caroline was very important to Kirk, but he still hadn’t
expected Kirk to make such a move.
