Chapter 538

“A million dollars.” Caroline tossed him a smile.

Liam was at a loss for words.

Thankfully, the waiter entered the room to serve the food. It helped to ease the tension so that things wouldn’t turn awkward.

After the waiter left, hatred flashed across Liam’s eyes, and he pointed at the dishes on the table.” Let’s enjoy ourselves first. We’ll talk about it later.”

Picking up the cutlery, Caroline gestured for Jack to come over, and the three of them had their meals together. The atmosphere was rather pleasant, even though they rarely spoke when they ate.

“Huh? No.”

“Then why are you checking the time so frequently?”

“I wanted to see if it was time.”

“Time for what?”

Raising his eyes to look at Caroline, Liam smiled at her and said, “It’s nothing. You’ll know what it is soon. Let’s continue our talk from just now, shall we?”

Alarm bells started ringing in her head. She quickly pinched her arm, and the pain cleared her head a little.

Grabbing Jack’s arm, she dashed for the door but was stopped in her tracks when she saw two brawny men blocking their path.
