Chapter 580
Bogus Billionaire
Eddy looked at Jude sadly. âGrandpa, are you-â
Jude saniled and said to Eddy, âEddy, I was wrong for constantly pressuring you to marry Caroline.
It ruined the relationship between the two of you.
âIâve thought about things recently, and I shouldnât have interfered with your relationship. Donât worry. Iâll agree to whoever you want to marry from now on.â
After a pause, Jude continued, âBy the way, werenât you considering getting married to Layla? Iâve thought about it too. Youâre already a grownup, so itâs time to start a family.â
Eddyâs spoon fell to the ground. He quickly bent down to pick it up.
After a long while, he raised his head from under the table and asked in disbelief, âAhem.
Grandpa, are you for real?â
Jude said with a smile, âOf course.â
Eddy coughed more violently.
Jude pretended not to notice anything and asked, âWhatâs wrong, Eddy? Are you that happy? I was wrong before. I promise I wonât make the same mistake again.â
Eddy coughed even more. He couldnât say anything at all. Then, he went on with his meal, feeling depressed.
After dinner, Caroline helped clean up. Afterward, she said, âIâll be heading home, Grandpa.â
were âOkay.â Jude stood up and said, âIf it were before, I wouldâve asked Eddy to take you home. But now, I wonât make him do that anymore.
âIâll ask the driver to do it instead. Carrie, Iâm not being inhospitable, am I?â
His question amused Caroline. She said merrily, âOf course not.â
As long as Jude wasnât forcing her and Eddy to be together anymore, she would be happy even if she had to walk home alone.
Eddy interjected coldly, âGrandpa, Iâll take her home.â
Jude looked at Eddy with a raised brow. He said, âYou donât have to force yourself, Eddy.â
Caroline didnât want Eddy to send her home. âHeâs right, Mr. Eddy. I can just go home by myself.
âDon-â Eddy held back his anger in front of Jude and didnât finish his sentence.
Instead, he took his keys and spat, âLetâs go!â
Caroline glanced at him and then at Jude. Jude smiled and looked at Caroline helplessly. Caroline had no choice but to follow Eddy.
After Eddy and Caroline left, Simon couldnât wait to speak up.
âSir, youâve made a good move. Last time, Mr. Eddy used to be more resistant to your methods, but now heâs more willing to do it.â
Jude scoffed. âThat fool clearly likes Caroline, but he keeps insisting that he doesnât. If he doesnât realize his feelings, heâll suffer for it eventually.â
Simon said with a smile, âIt definitely isnât too late for him. But, sir, thereâs still something I donât understand. Will you enlighten me?â
âGo ahead.â
âDo you want to meet Carolineâs husband because you still suspect Mr. Kirk? In that case, why not just use his photo or another way to validate your suspicions?
âThereâs no need to go through this much trouble to meet him in person.â
Jude sat down with a smile.
He said, âActually, after talking to Caroline just now, I donât think Kirk is her husband. But I still have to meet him in person. Only by meeting him in person can I rest assured.
âAs for your other question, Iâm sure you know I donât have any photos of Kirk, I know there are other methods to find the truth, but itâs better to confirm things with my own eyes. â
Then, he continued, âBut you did remind me that getting a photo of Kirk is necessary. Go and look for one, and make sure to do it in secret.â
âYes, sir,â Simon agreed. Then, he left.
