Chapter 609

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to laugh. Your husband’s hairstyle is just too funny,” Marietta held her stomach as it ached from laughter.

She couldn’t believe that Kirk was actually married. He looked weird, yet harmonious in his married life.

Kirk walked over and held Marietta’s hand, applying a little force to his grip. “It’s nice to meet you.”

Marietta raised an eyebrow, noticing the threatening hint in his movements and tone. She smiled softly and blinked innocently at him.

Only then did Kirk let go of her hand. “Please come in.”

He had a powerful and threatening vibe. At this moment, Marietta finally understood that Kirk hadn’t just called her to inform her of his secret, but also to warn her not to mess up.

It seemed he cared about Caroline very much.

Marietta silently looked back and forth between them. She had to admit that they looked good together.

They were a match made in heaven.

The three of them entered the living room. Then, Caroline finally took the chance to ask Marietta, Aunt Mary, what are you doing here so early? Didn’t I tell you that it’s fine to come at noon?”

Marietta returned to her senses after watching Kirk walk into the kitchen.

She explained, “Oh, I couldn’t sleep, so I thought I would come over and see if there’s anything I can help with.

“After all, I can’t do anything else but sleep in the hotel.”

“Aunt Mary, you don’t have to be polite. Just make yourself at home here.”

“I can’t do that. We’re not relatives.” Marietta rolled her eyes.

She asked, “Carrie, do I treat you well?”

Caroline smiled. “Of course, you do. It’s not exaggeration to say that you treat me better than my parents ever did.”

Sarah and Dan had only treated her well because she had been supposed to marry Eddy. However, “In that case, why don’t you become my goddaughter?”

Caroline’s expression shifted at her words. She said, “Aunt Mary, I couldn’t.”

“Do you not like me?” Marietta was very hurt.

“Of course it’s not that.”

Caroline explained, “I’m clearly out of my league here. I wouldn’t dare dream of being your goddaughter.”

Caroline was telling the truth. Marietta was an internationally renowned playwright. Caroline already thought that she had been dreaming for being able to become friends with her.

But now, Marietta wanted to take her in as her goddaughter. This was a scenario she wouldn’t dare to imagine.

Marietta stroked Caroline’s head. She said dotingly, “I really mean it, Carrie. In fact, I wanted to tell you before…”

However, she had never been able to find a chance. This time, Kirk had given her an opportunity to do so.

She and Caroline had really hit it off instantly. When they had first met, Marietta had felt this connection with her. She kept having the feeling that she had seen Caroline somewhere.

“Although the private detective had found out that one of the big four families had adopted my daughter, there’s no guarantee that I will be able to find her.”

At the mention of her daughter, Marietta felt her heart ache, and her tears unwittingly flowed down her cheeks.

Caroline’s heart also ached at the sight, and she felt bad for her.

When Kirk walked out, he saw Caroline and Marietta crying together. His chest tightened at the sight, and he quickly walked to Caroline with a plate in hand.

“Darling.”

Kirk’s voice brought Marietta and Caroline out of their sadness. The two women wiped the tears from their faces.

“What happened?” Kirk looked at Marietta warily.

Marietta sniffled, “Oh, I was just telling Caroline that I want to adopt her as my goddaughter. Kirk, do you agree with this?”

Marietta slightly smirked when she was done talking
