Chapter 660

“The fact that he’s not here right now is exactly why I’m doing this. You have no idea. Kirk stares daggers at me whenever I touch you when he’s around. It’s terrifying.”

Caroline laughed at Gwen’s words and returned to the topic at hand. “Just now, you said you were jealous. What are you jealous of?”

Gwen sat up seriously and said, “I’m jealous that Marietta is your godmother. Goodness, if I were her goddaughter, I would have let the entire world know about it.”

Caroline chuckled. “There’s nothing to be jealous of. It’s not like I’m her biological daughter.”

Gwen couldn’t help but feel sad when she heard her words. “Exactly. You’re not her real daughter.

“Also, didn’t Marietta say she had some news about her daughter? She’ll probably return to Yudonia after she finds her daughter, right?”

When that happened, Caroline would be all alone again. But at least she still had Kirk. The sadness on Gwen’s face faded at the thought of this.

However, she felt a slight disappointment. “If only she were your real mother.”

Caroline said, “She’s a good mother, but you can’t just force a familial connection with people.”

“You’re right.” Gwen held her chin, asking, “Are you going back tonight?”

“Yeah.”

Caroline nodded.

“Are you going back so soon because you miss a certain someone?”

Caroline’s face flushed slightly at her words. “You’ve got to stop teasing me like this.”

Gwen chuckled. “There’s no way I would miss such a good opportunity to mess with you. So, tell me.

How do you feel after not seeing Kirk for two days?”

“I feel empty, like something is missing.”

“Is it that bad?” Gwen tapped Caroline’s nose. She said cheekily, “It’s over for you.”

However, Caroline didn’t deny it this time but nodded in agreement. “You’re right. I don’t think I Gwen shook her head firmly. “Nope.”

“Why? Is it because I’m determined?”

“No.” Gwen said earnestly, “Because Kirk really loves you. He’ll never betray your trust.”

Caroline smiled at her words. The two chatted until the banquet ended and then left along with a large group of people. When they arrived at the door, Sean stopped Gwen.

“Why don’t I drive you back, Gwen?” he offered kindly.

Gwen immediately looked at Caroline behind her.

Caroline waved her hand and said, “I’ll drive home myself. Do as you please.” Then, she quickly left, determined not to be a third wheel.

Since she had come to the funeral in the Morrisons‘ car, she had to return to Morrison Manor to get her car.

Fortunately, Simon had already arranged a car to wait for her. So Caroline got into the car in the underground parking lot and left.

About an hour later, Caroline arrived at Morrison Manor and drove home in her car. She had just gone some distance when a car rushed out of an alley.

It was too late for Caroline to dodge it. She could only turn the steering wheel to try and avoid the car, but the car still managed to hit the front of her car.

Under the inertia, Caroline felt her head hit the steering wheel.
