Kirk's heart missed a beat. One of his hands was still placed against the door as he asked, "What happened?" Henry then briefed him about what had happened before.Kirk fell silent afterward, unsettling Henry. "Mr. Kirk, did I do something wrong?" "You've done a good job." Kirk assured Henry, despite the gloom in his eyes. "You'll be the new owner of this hotel starting tomorrow." Henry's eyes turned as wide as saucers when he heard that. He stared in a daze at the closed door before him, flabbergasted. He was merely one of the staff there. How did he just turn into its boss all of a sudden? In the room, Kirk carefully took off Caroline's shoes. Once her feet were bare, he finally saw the cuts and blisters on the bottom of her feet. His eyes widened in shock.After taking out the bottle of ointment from the bag that Henry gave him, he started to slowly and gently apply the ointment. Only after he was done with both her feet did he pat her cheeks to arouse her from her

A chill ran up Avery's spine, but she still pretended to be clueless. "Kirk, what are you trying to tell me? Don't beat around the bush." "I've given you a chance." Kirk's voice was dangerously low. "If it hadn't been for your parents, I wouldn't even be here to talk to you." "I get it now." Avery smiled bitterly at him. "After everything, you're saying that I was the one who told them to do it, right?" Kirk stared at her unblinkingly. "Isn't that so?" The smile on her face became brighter, yet her voice was laced with bitterness. "I don't understand why you'd think that way. Yes, I love you, but why would I hurt Caroline? Even if I did, you wouldn't come back to me. Besides, there will always be people who like to abuse others for no particular reason." "They are my friends," she continued to spin her lies. "But I don't need to do whatever they do. If you want to blame me, the only thing I've done wrong was bring Caroline here. Something like that wouldn't have happen

Caroline toyed with a roly-poly in the living room. When she looked at Kirk, he was staring back at her. It was as though they were telepathic. She tossed him a smile. Kirk swallowed before finally speaking into the phone. "I'll ask Carrie about it." "Okay." Ivan finally heaved a sigh of relief. After ending the call, he went back to the living room. Avery's parents were there. As Ivan returned, they asked him, "Ivan, what did Kirk say?""I told him to ask Caroline what she thinks of this." Still, Avery's parents didn't relent. Instead, their faces were full of worry when they spoke. "Ivan, we're so sorry about this. Avery didn't know that something like this would happen either." Ivan waved a hand in the air to dismiss it. "Enough talk about that. What's important is that Caroline and Kirk are okay now." His words made the Mendeley couple feel even more guilty. They glanced at Avery beside them, but they didn't have it in them to reprimand her. She was their own daught

They decided to meet for dinner and made a reservation at a high-end hotel. Avery and her parents—Adam Mendeley and Lia Brooke—were the first to arrive, followed by Kirk and Caroline. Ivan wasn't feeling well, so he didn't join them. The moment Caroline and Kirk entered the private room, the Mendeleys stood up from their seats and looked at Kirk with anxious eyes. Avery was the first to speak, and her words directed everyone's attention to Caroline. "I'm sorry, Caroline."Caroline tossed her a bright smile. "Don't apologize to me yet. I don't even know why you're apologizing." The expression on Adam's and Lia's faces changed slightly. They glanced at each other, as though silently agreeing that Caroline wouldn't be easy to deal with. Yet Avery had mentally prepared herself for this. She maintained a smile on her face and explained, "I was the one who invited you to the party. Even though the incident had nothing to do with me, you wouldn't have been hurt if I didn't ask you

Avery grinned, still covering her burning cheek. "You've finally shown your true colors. I will show Kirk how much of a vixen you really are." Caroline crossed her arms. "He knows what kind of person I am better than you. I'm just taking a page out of your book on being a two-faced crude."Avery took a deep breath. "You have a really accurate judgment of yourself." Then, she added, "At the end of the day, you're just suspecting that I'm involved in what happened at the swimming pool. But you don't have any proof, do you? Like I said, I'm not stupid enough to do something like this and make Kirk hate me."Caroline glared at Avery. If Avery was involved in the swimming pool incident, she was indeed terrifying. She was completely different from Layla, who usually played the innocent victim. Avery was intelligent and meticulous. She didn't leave any loose ends when she did something. However …A smile played on Caroline's lips. There would always be a trail, and Avery would ev

"It's all right." Caroline smiled. After watching him enter the hotel, she turned to look at Kirk again. Kirk was still talking on the phone.Caroline scrolled through her phone for about five minutes before she felt a large hand wrap around her waist.Kirk asked, "Did you wait long?"Caroline looked up at him and said, "Nope. Are we going home now?""Yeah," Kirk said.Caroline asked, "What about Dad?"Kirk paused momentarily before replying, "He's still at the Mendeley Residence.""Should we take him home with us?"Caressing Caroline's slender waist, Kirk replied, "He just wants some grandchildren, so he wouldn't want to come home." As he spoke, he hugged Caroline. "Let's have a baby." He'd initially thought that he could wait, but he couldn't anymore. He wanted a child with Caroline, one that belonged to them alone. It was the only way to leave his mark on her.Seeing the tenderness swirling in Kirk's gaze, Caroline was tempted, but she remained rational. She said, "We'l

Caroline felt heat quickly spreading throughout her body. Feeling flustered, she asked, "Why are you being so indecent when I'm asking you a serious question?"Gwen covered her mouth and teased, saying, "I am being serious. Trust me, this method works every time. You'll definitely thank me after you try it."Caroline was dumbfounded.Gwen smiled merrily as Caroline hung up the phone quickly. But her joy vanished immediately afterward. She thought, "My dear friend …"Just as she was brooding, she saw a message from Sean. It read, "Are you free for dinner tonight?"Gwen froze. She hesitated for a moment, then closed the app immediately. She hadn't seen Sean since they had slept together last time. He seemed to be fine and would ask her out for dinner from time to time as if nothing had happened.Gwen was furious. Why was she losing her mind while he had completely forgotten about it? But it wasn't like she could just barge into his home and scold him. That would show that she c

The next day, Caroline woke up with a sore back. Still, she went to Fableland with Kirk. She thought they had to queue up, but when she went inside, she discovered that there was no one else except the staff."Why … aren't there any tourists?" Caroline murmured. She had been to Fableland in Easton a few times, and it would always be crowded with people. However, this place was uncharacteristically quiet and deserted. Not only that, but every staff member also smiled at them as if they were VIPs.Kirk coughed lightly. "Maybe we came too early. Where do you want to go first?"Caroline unfolded the theme park map and pointed to one of the places. "Let's go here."Kirk glanced at where Caroline had pointed and saw the words "Battle for the Underwater Treasure" written on the map. "All right. I'll go make a call.""Okay." Caroline nodded. She waited where she was. After a while, Kirk returned. "Let's go."Battle for the Underwater Treasure was Fableland's most popular exhibit. I
