Chapter 626

Eddy gritted his teeth. “I want Howard to pay for this with his blood.”

“That’s easy. I’ve already sent people to capture him.”

“Good. You must hand him over to me when the time comes. I’ll make sure he’s in considerable agony.”

Kirk didn’t agree to his request but asked, “Do you need help with the other things? For example, the arrangements for the funeral.”

“Thank you, Uncle Kirk. But you don’t have to worry about that. Caroline would probably come over to help.”

Kirk frowned. “Caroline wants to go there too? Why?”

Eddy didn’t notice anything wrong with Kirk’s tone. “She said she wanted to come over.”

“I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

If Caroline helped arrange Jude’s funeral, she and Kirk would definitely meet there. If that happened, he wouldn’t be able to hide his identity anymore.

“I thought so too, but Caroline said she would feel more at ease this way… Although no one would blame her for Grandpa’s death, she… thought he died because of her …”

Speaking of this, both of them fell silent. In fact, it wasn’t Caroline’s fault that this had happened.

Nevertheless, no one with a conscience wouldn’t feel good about this.

“Also…” Eddy raised his voice.

“I’ve thought things through, and Grandpa was right. I plan to marry Caroline after things with Grandpa have been settled.”

Kirk narrowed his eyes at his words. Did Eddy know what he was saying?

“Caroline is already married!” Kirk coldly reminded Eddy.

“I know.” Eddy leaned against the cold glass cabinet. He had never been as sure as he was right now.

He had already fallen in love with Caroline. However, he had kept running away from his feelings.

Besides, Layla was his savior, so he had always felt obligated to care for her. His sense of responsibility had rendered him unable to admit that he liked Caroline.

If he had, he had felt like he would be betraying his savior’s trust.

But Jude’s sudden passing had opened his eyes. In life, anything could happen at any time. After one completely lost something, it would be too late.

For example, Jude’s lifelong wish had been to see Eddy marry Caroline. However, because of his reluctance, Jude had left this world behind with regrets.

“But I can’t have any more regrets, Uncle Kirk,” Eddy declared.

Kirk’s voice turned cold, and he snapped, “What about Caroline? Even if you’re doing this not to leave any regrets, have you ever thought about how she feels?”

Eddy could feel Kirk’s anger even through the phone. He straightened up in confusion, feeling a little aggrieved.

He thought Kirk was really biased toward Caroline, even more so than Jude.

However, Jude was the only Morrison who had been kind to Caroline. Eddy had been worried about the cold reception Caroline would get after she married him.

So he felt relieved to see elder in the family have her back.

“I haven’t asked for her opinion yet, and now’s not the time for that. I’ll talk to her after we settle everything for Grandpa’s funeral. Uncle Kirk, you have to speak up for me when the time comes.”

Kirk immediately hung up the phone.

Eddy was speechless at Kirk’s attitude. What was wrong with him? Did Kirk really not want him to marry Caroline?

Eddy admitted that he had let Caroline down, but he swore that he would treat her better this time. Moreover, based on his understanding of Caroline, she would definitely marry him.

This had been her dream since she had been 16 years old. Although a lot had happened since then, Eddy still thought that many things had stayed the same.

As long as he took action, Caroline would definitely go along with his plans.
