Chapter 374
Bogus Billionaire
Kirkâs mind racedthem. After a moment, he said, âDarling, before I tell you the truth, can you answer a question?â
Caroline was confused, but she still nodded sullenly Kirk took a deep breath. âDo you like the Morrisons?â
For some reason, Kirkâs question reminded Caroline of when she had run into Daphne at the car dealership a few days ago.
Back then, Daphne had kept bringing up the Morrisons. So when she heard Kirkâs question, she almost frowned in disgust.
Although her subtle movements were brief, Kirk still noticed it.
âI donât.â
Caroline said bluntly, âIf it hadnât been for Grandpa, I really wouldnât want to have anything to do with them.â
Even though he had expected this answer, a trace of hurt appeared in Kirkâs eyes, but he quickly sat up straight.
âWhy are you asking me this?â Caroline looked at Kirk, confused. Did this have anything to do with his multiple marriages?
Kirk looked at Caroline fondly. He said, âItâs nothing. I was just asking.â
Caroline saw the tenderness in his eyes and couldnât help but waver. She hurriedly pinched her thigh, using the pain to stay rational.
âThen, shouldnât you tell me what youâre hiding from me?â
âAll right.â Kirk sat down next to Caroline.
He explained, âActually, the reason why I went abroad wasnât to deal with Morrison Corpâs affairs â¦
Caroline held her breath.
âI was abroad to deal with my own companyâs affairs.â
Caroline looked at Kirk in surprise, but it wasnât because Kirk had his own company. She thought Kirk would confess about his multiple marriages, yet he had mentioned something else.
However, Kirk thought it was the former. He smiled and stroked Carolineâs head, his fingertips trembling slightly. âItâs a small company. The previous manager was my dad, so I didnât tell you!â
Caroline quickly stood up, looking at Kirk with a complicated expression. It wasnât anger or joy. She simply ⦠didnât know what to feel. Every emotion was welling in her chest, but she felt no relief.
âDarlingâ¦â Kirk reached out to hold Carolineâs hand, but she ripped it away.
âIâm tired.â
After saying this, Caroline went upstairs. Hearing the footsteps echoing in the corridor, Kirk firmly pinched the bridge of his nose.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
After returning to the bedroom, Caroline locked the door behind her. At this moment, her mind was a mess.
Initially, she had still been trying to figure out if she should believe Kirk or the mysterious woman. But now she had inevitably started to believe the latter.
Kirk actually had his own company abroad! Who knew what other things he was hiding from her?
Caroline tightly wrapped herself in the covers, staring at the door in a daze. She didnât sleep the entire night.
The next day, the alarm clock rang for the sixth time. Caroline, who had become a living fossil, sleepily glanced at the alarm clock on the table. She turned off the alarm clock and got out of bed, feeling lightheaded.
Since she hadnât slept all night, she almost fell as soon as she stepped on the ground. She slumped on the floor, countless memories of her and Kirk flooding her mind.
Those memories were so beautiful and sweet, but the more beautiful they were, the more her heart ached.
She didnât know what to believe anymore. She had once thought that if she kept giving her all, she would be rewarded for her efforts. She had thought she would become the next Mrs. Morrison if she donated her kidney.
Later, she had believed that as long as she was sincere, she could get an earnest relationship in return.
However, she had ended up in a marriage full of lies.
She really didnât know what or who to believe anymore.
At this moment, Kirkâs low and hoarse voice came from outside the door. âAre you awake, Darling? Iâve already bought breakfast.â
Caroline looked up at the door, feeling at a loss.
