Chapter 428
Bogus Billionaire
By the time Caroline recovered, half an hour had already passed.
Everyone else was waiting in the dining room, not daring to make a sound. They silently watched Kirk, who had been by Carolineâs side the whole time.
Angelo wiped his tears and said in Macovian, âHow touching.â
Gwen secretly asked Sean what Angelo had said. After getting an answer, she couldnât help grimacing.
âTouching? Whatâs touching about this? If a man really loves a woman, he should keep himself in check.â
Angelo was confused. âBut that gentleman seems to really like that lady. This is the love Iâve always wanted.
âThe reason why I havenât gotten married despite having many girlfriends is because I donât have someone who makes me feel the emotion of love.â
Gwenâs expression was dark. But she had to admit that even though she knew the inside story, she often felt like Kirk loved Caroline.
âIt was precisely because of this that she was even more upset. She didnât understand men at all.
If he loved her so much, why had he gotten married to someone else?
Even if he had gotten married before he met Caroline, he could just get a divorce if he wanted to be with her.
He wanted Caroline, yet he didnât want to end his other marriage. Things like this didnât make sense.
He couldnât have it both ways!
âLetâs go.â Caroline had already sat up on the couch. Her voice was still weak.
She had to let Kirk help her up. A smile appeared on her pale face when she passed by the host.â
Iâm sorry to bother you.â
The man and woman hurriedly waved their hands and walked the four of them to the door.
After Kirk placed Caroline in the car, he walked to the driverâs seat and said to Sean, âI forgot something. Wait for me.â
Sean knew Kirk very well. He knew he wanted to ask Angelo what had happened, so he nodded in agreement. âGo ahead!â
After saying that, he glanced at Caroline, who was leaning against the window and looking out with empty eyes.
Deep down, he couldnât help but wonder who Dolly was and why she had had such an impact on Caroline.
Five minutes later, Kirk walked out of the house with an indifferent expression.
Sean couldnât figure out what his friend was thinking, but he didnât plan to ask any questions. So he started the car and drove toward the hotel.
About three hours later, they finally returned to the hotel. As soon as the car stopped, Kirk had already unbuckled his seat belt and gotten out of the car. He opened the back door.
Then, ignoring Carolineâs protests and Gwenâs disapproving gaze, he picked up Caroline and strode into the hotel.
Caroline struggled a few times at first, but she didnât have enough strength. So she simply let Kirk carry her into the elevator.
The incident with Dolly had affected her a lot. She didnât have a single ounce of strength right now.
âLetâs go.â
Sean cocked his head and teased Gwen, saying, âOr do you want me to carry you out of the car too?â
When Gwen heard his words, she glared at him. âWhatâs Kirk going to do with Caroline?â
Sean shrugged. âI donât know.â
Gwen tried to get out of the car, but Sean grabbed her wrist.
His familiar touch caused goosebumps on Gwenâs arm. She wanted to jerk her hand away, but he held her wrist tighter, as if on purpose.
He looked at her earnestly. âYou canât follow them. Let them solve their own problems.â
