Chapter 634

“Okay. Let’s meet at Mayflower Square then?” asked Caroline.

“Alright,” Sean replied. “I’ll head there right away.”

Now that Sean had agreed to it, Caroline got ready to head out.

Edith noticed this and asked, “Madam, where are you going?”

“Shopping.”

“Where?”

The question made Caroline frown a little. “Mayflower Square. What’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing,” said Edith.

“I just wanted to know if I could tag along.”

The suspicion in Caroline’s eyes vanished upon hearing that. “Where do you want to go? I can take you along with me.”

“Never mind. We’re not headed in the same direction,” Edith said.

“I’ll take the bus there.”

“Okay then. Take care. I’m leaving.”

“You too, madam.” After seeing Caroline off, Edith hurried to message Kirk and inform him of Caroline’s whereabouts.

After Caroline picked up Gwen, they both headed straight to Mayflower Square. On the way, though, they got stuck in a traffic jam.

“You must be kidding me!” Gwen exclaimed as she poked her head out of the window.

“It’s not even the peak hour yet. Why is there a jam?”

The owner of the car next to theirs also poked his head out of the window. He heard what Gwen had said and said, “Apparently there’s an accident up ahead. I’m not sure if it’s true, though.”

After getting an answer, Gwen sat back down in her seat and told Caroline, “The line is too long.

We can’t get to the mall anytime soon. Should we take another path?”

Caroline then launched a navigation platform on her phone to change routes. “We’ll have to take a detour then ”

“Will do Otherwise, all we can do is wait”

“Okay”

Caroline accepted the idea and said, “You should call Sean and tell him that we’re going to be late.

He’s probably already there.”

Gwen wanted to protest but noticed that Caroline was already putting the car in reverse. In the end, she relented and dialed Sean’s number.

It didn’t take long for her call to be answered. Sean couldn’t hide the exuberance in his voice when he spoke “Where are you two?”

“We’re still on our way.” Gwen tried her best to calm down her racing heart as she spoke.

“There’s a terrible jam here, so we’re taking another route there. It’ll take us about an hour or so to reach Mayflower Square.

“No worries,” Sean said.

“I’ll wait.” His tone was gentle, and there wasn’t the slightest hint of annoyance in it.

“I never asked you to “Gwen murmured to herself and hung up to see a smiling Caroline.

“Gwen, I had never realized that you’re this stubborn.”

“I-” Gwen started. She wanted to explain herself, but to no avail. In the end, she chose to change the topic.

“Where’s Kirk?” she asked, Kirk knew fairly well that Caroline’s mood wasn’t the best these days, yet he had gone on a business trip and left her alone.

Gwen thought what he did was nothing but mean. Before this, she had even thought that he was a thoughtful person.

“Didn’t I tell you that he went on a business trip?” said Caroline.

“What’s so important that he has to leave at such a time?” Gwen seethed.

Amused, Caroline laughed. She thought that the business trip came just in time, though. Kirk had He had stayed with her at home for those two days. She wasn’t so bold as to claim that she had fully recovered from that incident.

But it would have started to weigh on her heart if Kirk had continued accompanying her. She would have started thinking of herself as trash.

A couple of minutes later, Caroline turned a fork in the road, and they chatted away.

All of a sudden, Gwen’s eyes turned as wide as saucers as she saw Kirk walking out of a building.
