Chapter 656

“But you could also say that we never met. The last few times, he was always wearing a mask. I never got to see what he looks like.”

Caroline asked Simon excitedly, “Since he’s attending Grandpa’s funeral today, he probably won’t be wearing a mask anymore, right?”

Both Eddy’s and Simon’s expressions changed again.

Eddy was especially incapable of holding back. He asked, “You … you’ve never seen my second uncle’s face?”

“That’s right.” Caroline didn’t understand why Eddy and Simon looked astonished.

“He’s always so mysterious when he shows up. Does he wear a mask because his looks aren’t very nice?”

Eddy blinked, taken aback.

“Then… then why do you have his number on your phone?”

If Caroline hadn’t even seen Kirk’s face, that meant that he didn’t trust Caroline. If he didn’t trust her, then why would she have his phone number?

Eddy was so confused by all this that he was getting dizzy.

However, Simon was getting a clearer picture of what was going on. As he looked at Eddy, his weathered lips twitched. Yet he couldn’t say a word.

The answer to this was simply too shocking.

“Since when do I have your second uncle’s phone number?” Caroline was completely clueless.

She remembered that she had used Kirk’s number to call him last time.

Eddy was stunned. “The other day… The other day, I swear I saw you… answer a call from him?”

“No, I didn’t.” Caroline was even more confused now.

“Did you get it wrong?”

“Isn’t Kirk Morrison my second uncle?”

C Still confused, Caroline chuckled. “That’s my husband. Who are you calling your second uncle?”

Eddy felt like there had been an explosion in his brain. “My second uncle’s your husband?”

Perplexed, Caroline said, “How could your second uncle be my husband? I’m saying that Kirk Morrison is my husband’s name.”

Then, she paused. “Hold on a minute, you just said … Do you mean that your second uncle has the same name as my husband?”

Eddy was confuddled. He could only nod slowly. “My second uncle’s name is Kirk Morrison.”

Caroline stared at the ground in astonishment. She was evidently processing this information.

After a while, she looked at Eddy and said, in understanding, “So that’s how things are!”

Eddy and Simon pricked their ears up as they looked at Caroline. They both also wanted to know what was going on.

However, Caroline was just as she had been before. She hemmed and hawed, and they couldn’t hear clearly what she was saying.

“What do you know?” Eddy was terribly anxious now.

Yet Caroline still went about it slowly. She swept a glance at Eddy without giving any explanation.

Instead, she asked, “The funeral’s about to start. Shouldn’t you go and get prepared?”

Eddy was burning with curiosity. All he wanted now was to know what Caroline knew. But it seemed that she didn’t plan on saying anything.

At this, Simon checked the time and reminded Eddy, “Mr. Eddy, we should really get going.

Otherwise, we’ll really be late.”

As he said this, his gaze fell on Caroline.

Caroline left first and headed to the car at the door.

After the two of them got into the car, Eddy couldn’t help but ask again, “When you said that was how things were, what did you mean?”

Caroline only smiled and said, “Nothing.”

She finally understood why Eddy’s second uncle had gone to Kirk. It was because they shared the
