Chapter 578

However, today, Eddy had only found out Caroline was here when he called Simon, and he heard him say the he had to prepare dinner.

Upon hearing the news, he had immediately stopped what he was doing and hurried home.

However, he hadn’t expected Jude to despise his presence here. He said, “I left something at home.

Jude glanced at Eddy, but he didn’t expose his lie.

Ever since he had discovered that disagreeing with Eddy was effective, he kept this method in mind.

Now, not only had he stopped matchmaking Eddy and Caroline, but he even deliberately opposed them getting together. He hoped that, by doing this, Eddy and Caroline could get married before he died.

“Then, you should leave after you get them.”

Jude said flatly, “Don’t interrupt my chat with Carrie.”

Eddy was speechless. Was Jude an imposter or something?

“Grandpa, since I’m already home, I’ll have dinner with you here. It’s almost dinner time anyway.”

After Eddy said this, Caroline noticed he was right. It was almost dinner time.

Remembering her promise to Kirk that she would be home on time, she stood up and said, “It’s time for me to go home, Grandpa.”

When Jude heard her words, he had a long face and asked, “Why are you going home so soon?”

“I already promised that I would be home for dinner.”

Jude disagreed. “Carrie, it’s been so long since you had dinner with me. Besides, you have meals with your husband every day. One day apart from him wouldn’t hurt.

“Moreover, I still have some things to ask you, so you can’t just leave.”

“What do you want to ask me, Grandpa?” Caroline asked curiously.

clusive. We have no way of finding out who he is.”

Kirk frowned at his words. “There’s another party keeping watch on her? Why didn’t you tell me such an important thing sooner?”

Charles explained, “Sir, I wanted to tell you after I finished investigating…”

Kirk breathed out slowly and pinched the bridge of his nose. He ordered, “You have to find out who this person is as soon as you can!”

He couldn’t believe another adversary had appeared before he had managed to handle Jude.

“Yes, sir,” Charles answered and nodded.

When Jude learned that Caroline was coming, he greeted her at the door.

“Hello, Grandpa.”

“Hey!” Jude asked someone to take the gift from Caroline’s hands.

“You finally came to visit me, Carrie. I’ve missed you so much.”

Caroline said with a smile, “I’ve missed you too. How are you doing?”

“I’m doing pretty well.” Jude brought Caroline to sit down on the couch.

He praised, “How about you? I heard you’ve become Evans Group’s CEO, and you’ve been doing a great job. I’m really proud of you.”

“Thank you, Grandpa.”

The two chatted for a while. Then, they heard Eddy’s voice from outside the door.

“Grandpa! Grandpa!” His shouts grew louder and louder as he drew closer. Once he came in, he stopped yelling.

When Jude saw Eddy, he stopped smiling like he usually did. Instead, he frowned and asked unhappily, “What are you doing back home?”

Eddy was startled when he saw Caroline. In the past, Jude would have tried his best to notify him whenever Caroline came to visit.

However, today, Eddy had only found out Caroline was here when he called Simon, and he heard him say that he had to prepare dinner.

Upon hearing the news, he had immediately stopped what he was doing and hurried home.

However, he hadn’t expected Jude to despise his presence here. He said, “I left something at home.

Eddy was speechless. Was Jude an imposter or something?

“Grandpa, since I’m already home, I’ll have dinner with you here. It’s almost dinner time anyway.‘

After Eddy said this, Caroline noticed he was right. It was almost dinner time.

Remembering her promise to Kirk that she would be home on time, she stood up and said, “It’s time for me to go home, Grandpa.”

When Jude heard her words, he had a long face and asked, “Why are you going home so soon?”

“I already promised that I would be home for dinner.”

Jude disagreed. “Carrie, it’s been so long since you had dinner with me. Besides, you have meals with your husband every day. One day apart from him wouldn’t hurt.

“Moreover, I still have some things to ask you, so you can’t just leave.”

“What do you want to ask me, Grandpa?” Caroline asked curiously.

“I want to ask about your husband, of course, Jude sighed.

“It’s been almost a year since you got married, but I still haven’t met him. Hard to believe that, right?”

“Grandpa… There’s no way you haven’t seen him.”

Caroline remembered Jude asking her to bring Kirk to see him after she had announced her marriage.

“But it’s true.”

Jude said, “I wouldn’t lie to you about this.

“But-”

“Carrie, do you not want me to meet him, or does he refuse to meet me? Is he someone I know?”

“No way. That’s impossible.”

Caroline waved her hands and said, “He’s just a-”

Then, she remembered that Eddy’s second uncle had sent Kirk to Morrison Corp, and she didn’t know their dealings.

So Caroline changed her mind and said, “He’s just an ordinary office employee. You definitely don’t know him.”

“It doesn’t matter who he is. I still want to meet him.

“In my current situation, I don’t know how long I’ll still be around. Before I pass on, I need to find out who your lifelong partner is. Then, I can rest assured.”

He would only feel relieved after seeing with his own eyes that Caroline’s husband wasn’t Kirk. If it were really Kirk, Eddy would have no chance of winning Caroline’s heart.

“All right.” Since Jude had stated his reasons, Caroline couldn’t bring herself to refuse.

“Then, I’ll discuss things with him when I get home. When he’s free, we’ll visit you together.”

“All right!” Jude smiled and nodded.

“Come on, you should have dinner here tonight.”

Caroline started, “Grandpa…”

“Hey, it’s just one meal. I’m sure your husband wouldn’t mind.”

Caroline thought about it. It would be impolite to keep refusing, so she had no choice but to say, ”

Okay.”

Before dinner, Caroline texted Kirk while she was in the bathroom. “I won’t be home for dinner tonight. Grandpa insisted on me having dinner with him. I’m sorry.”

Kirk replied soon enough. “All right. Did he say anything else?”

Caroline texted, “You’re pretty sharp. He says he wants to meet you. I’ll bring you to see Grandpa when you’re free.”

Kirk’s pupils shrank at her words.
