Chapter 424
Bogus Billionaire
The car became pindrop silent for a moment.
Sean braced himself several times before saying, âKirk has his reasons for having multiple marriages.â
âReasons?â
Gwen sneered, âDid someone hold him at gunpoint and force him to get married? My dad loves using that word. Every time my mom caught him cheating on her, he would say he had his reasons for doing so.
âHe would say that he slept with other women for the sake of his company, or he didnât know what came over him.
âBut I could tell he enjoyed being with other women, so why couldnât he say that? Couldnât he own up to his mistakes?â Gwen became more and more agitated as she talked, completely forgetting that she was in the car.
The noise woke Caroline up. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Gwen in confusion. âGwen â¦
Carolineâs voice brought Gwen back to her senses, and she forced a smile. âIâm sorry, Carol. I was being too loud.â
âDid something happen?â Caroline rubbed her eyes.
âWe â¦â
âItâs nothing. We were just discussing something, and we got a bit too loud.â
Sean helped Gwen explain, âYou can keep sleeping if you want. We still need more than an hour to reach our destination.â
Caroline felt relieved after hearing Seanâs words. She closed her eyes and fell asleep again after a while.
Meanwhile, Kirk wasnât sleeping in the passenger seat at all. He simply kept his eyes closed and pretended to sleep.
He had listened to every word of Gwen and Seanâs conversation, and he agreed with Gwenâs However, he would never let the scars of the nail remain on that wooden board forever. He would find the ideal way to smooth out the remaining scars in Carolineâs heart without harming her.
An hour later, the car arrived at the last house.
The man of the last household was a doctor who had traveled to many cities when he had been young.
He immediately showed great interest when he learned that Caroline and her companions were from Easton.
Gwen asked discreetly, âWhy werenât we treated so well when we came here last time?â
Sean looked at the dazzling array of regional specialties placed on the table.
âMaybe itâs because we didnât bring gifts like Caroline, or my accent wasnât as good as Kirkâs. Maybe itâs both.â
Gwen couldnât hear the difference between how Sean and Kirk spoke Macovian. However, looking at the male headâs different attitude toward Kirk, she could tell that Sean was right.
She said, âPutting aside everything, when I look at Caroline and Kirk, I feel theyâre a match made in heaven.â
Sean remained silent.
âAnd they have so much chemistry.â The more Gwen commented, the more upset she became.
She then shut her mouth, not wanting to lose her composure while she was in someone elseâs home.
At this moment, a woman walked in. She whispered something to the man. It made him stand up excitedly, and his face turned red After listening to their conversation, Sean looked at Gwen excitedly.
Gwen had no idea what was going on. âWhatâs wrong?â
âThey took a video on the day they went ice skating. Maybe they had captured Miaâs falling too.â
Gwen didnât dare to have high hopes. âReally?â
