Chapter 412
Bogus Billionaire
Kirkâs gaze was fathomless and charming. Caroline unexpectedly found herself getting lost in his beautiful eyes.
By the time she returned to her senses, Kirk had already leaned forward to kiss her lips.
She hurriedly raised her hand to grab him. âI donât believe you. If you arenât married, why would the City Hall in Macldo record that youâre married in your information?â
âMaybe thereâs an error in the system.â Kirk held her shoulder and looked at her earnestly.
âDarling, weâve been together for so long. Iâm sure you know what kind of person I am.â
His words made Caroline relax her grip. He was right. After being together for so long, apart from this incident, Kirk had been the perfect husband.
She looked up at Kirk. âCâcan I really trust you?â
âOf course,â Kirk reassured, slowly placing Carolineâs hand on his chest.
The coldness in Carolineâs eyes slowly dissipated when she felt Kirkâs strong heartbeat with her fingertips.
Just as she was about to tell him she trusted him, a woman holding a child suddenly appeared behind Kirk like a ghost.
The woman mocked, âHaha! I canât believe you fell for our lies! Not only are we married, but we also have a child. You poor, miserable mistress!â
âNo-â
Caroline suddenly opened her eyes. When she saw a pair of surprised eyes, she realized she had had a nightmare.
She held her head and awkwardly apologized to the air stewardess, who had come over after hearing noises.
The air stewardess asked softly, âDo you want a glass of water?â
âNo, itâs fine.â
âSure.â
Caroline and Adrian had spoken at the same time.
The stewardess looked at them questioningly Adrian said, Please bring a glass of water.â
Caroline nodded at his words. After the stewardess left, she sat up straight and took a tissue from Adrian âWhereâs Gwen?â
âI saw her looking very sleepy, so I asked her to rest in first class. Did you have a nightmare?â
Caroline nodded.
The stewardess brought a glass of water, and Caroline drank it in one gulp.
âDo you want some more water?â Adrian asked gently.
Caroline shook her head, finally feeling more awake. âIâll go and wake Gwen up.â
Just as she was about to stand up, Adrian grabbed her wrist. The scene in her dream came rushing back to her mind, and she ripped her hand away from Adrian.
Adrian felt a spark the moment he touched Carolineâs skin. But when she ripped her hand away, he quickly felt despair envelop him.
âIâm really sorry. It wasnât on purpose.â Caroline apologized.
She didnât know what to say. She couldnât explain to Adrian that she reacted so harshly because of her nightmare.
Suppressing his hurt feelings, Adrian looked up again with a bright smile.
âItâs okay. I know you didnât mean it. Also, donât wake Gwen up. Sheâs probably sleeping soundlessly right now.
âIf you wake her up, sheâll definitely get revenge. Besides, Iâm a grown man. Iâm not that pretentious.â
Caroline felt much better after hearing his words. âThank you, Adrian. Youâre a really good person.â
Adrian lowered his head, smiling wryly. Did Caroline just friendzone him?
âItâs a pity no one really loves me, no matter how good I am.â His voice was bitter, and he sounded like a wounded cub.
