Chapter 835
Kirk frowned in concern when he saw her reaction. “Caroline, are you okay?”
Caroline snapped out of her daze and shook her head. “I’m fine. Something flashed through my mind just now. It should be the memories I’ve lost.”
Kirk had been holding her hand when she told him that. He couldn’t help but tremble more.
She glanced down at his hand, confused as to why he would have such a reaction. The veins on his hand were even more obvious now, and it seemed like he was very agitated at the moment.
She had no clue why he was so stirred up. Somehow, there must be some kind of invisible link or connection between them because she felt agitated now too.
“Mr. Y, you haven’t told me why you cried.” Caroline hadn’t forgotten that.
Kirk led her to sit on the couch. “It’s nothing. You reminded me of a friend. She was just like you. Thoughtful, kind, and…”
“She must be very important to you, right? You wouldn’t have cried if she wasn’t.”
“Yes. My life is nothing without her, but I lost her.”
Caroline froze. She could see that look of despair in his eyes again. Now, she knew the answers to the questions she had had before this.
“Is she your lover?” she asked, her voice shaky.
Kirk looked at her. “Yes. She’s the woman I love the most in the entire world.” There wasn’t the slightest hint of hesitation when he answered the question.
He added, “She’s the only person I love in this lifetime. I’ll never fall in love with someone else.”
Caroline felt her heart shatter into thousands of pieces. She had relied on Mr. Y so much that she had
forgotten to ask if he was single. Now, though…
She distanced herself from him. “Why don’t you find her and bring her back then?”
Kirk glanced at her again. “I’m looking for her.” Something flashed in his eyes as he said that.
Somehow, Caroline felt a raging fire burn at the bottom of her heart, but she had no right to be mad at him
for this. Who was she to him anyway?
She didn’t even know what he looked like. As her thoughts drifted, she found herself even more jealous of
It must be wonderful to be able to be loved by Mr. Y.
Was it bitterness, jealousy, or admiration? A wave of emotions washed over her, overwhelming her so much that she didn’t know how she should act around him.
“I… I have something to do. I’m heading upstairs,” she said.
It was so sudden that Kirk looked at her, confused.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” said Caroline. She felt like there was a thorn in her heart, and she feared that her expression
would give her away.
“Mr. Y, please make yourself at home.”
Her distancing herself from him and this unexpected change in her behavior came as a total surprise to Kirk. Confused, he tried to recall if he had said anything to offend her, but nothing came to his mind.
He was also afraid that she might have remembered something from the past. So all he could do was stand still at the same spot, unsure of what to do.
Luckily for Caroline, her pace was always unsteady when she took the stairs. So it didn’t seem like she had just received any kind of mental stimulation. Hence, Kirk didn’t notice anything amiss or worry too
much about it.
Still, he messaged Sean and asked him to look after Caroline before he left the house. Even though Sean hadn’t replied, Kirk knew that Sean would keep an eye out for her.
With his heart now at ease, he left to make arrangements for the bodyguards to protect her.
On the second floor, Caroline heard the rev of a car engine and sulkily protruded her lower lip.
