Chapter 690

Aurora pitied herself for being unlucky.

In the next instance, she smirked as she realized that getting on Yvonne’s good side was a lot easier than dealing with Caroline.

Back at the villa, Caroline was in bed, about to hit the sack when she turned to Kirk. She asked, Do you know what I can do to help Mom?” Her heart broke whenever she saw how Marietta forced a smile.

Kirk wrapped an arm around Caroline’s waist. He thought about the question for some time before shaking his head and telling her, “I have no idea.”

“Think of one! I’m sure you’ll come up with something,” said Caroline as she stared at him expectantly.

Kirk smiled wryly at her. “You have that much faith in me, huh?”

“Naturally.” Caroline leaned against his chest. “I have a hunch you’ll think of something”

“What if I don’t?”

“Then, it’s a most complex problem. But I’m sure you’ll be the first to think of a way to solve it even if you can’t right now.”

Kirk smiled gently at her. “You flatter me, darling So, what do you want?”

Caroline giggled now that her ploy was exposed Sitting up from the bed, she told him. “It’s nothing much, really. I just need you to help me with something ”

In truth, she had thought this over a few days, but couldn’t gather the courage to inform him about it “Tell me,” Kirk ruffled her hair.

“I’m wondering. If you could make arrangements for me to meet Eddy’s second uncle?” Although she knew the man’s name, she was used to referring to him as Eddy’s second uncle She stared at Kirk, worried that he might get upset like last time.

Frowning, Kirk lowered his voice and asked, “Why do you want to see him?” Something felt unsettled in him. He thought that he’d never get jealous again after knowing how much Caroline loved him Despite that Caroline glanced up at him “Although he’s a jerk, he’s helped me many times “Eddy’s second uncle was particularly kind toward her.

There was another reason why she wanted to meet him, but she wasn’t brave enough to share it with Kirk.

She wanted to know what Eddy’s second uncle was thinking. Gwen told her that he might be interested in her, so she had planned to ask him about this at Jude’s funeral Nobody expected him to be absent. He even asked her to memorize a book randomly. The more she thought about it, the more she found it strange.

She didn’t have to be as worried if he truly had eyes for her. It meant that he wouldn’t harm her.

However, if he had other intentions….

A wave of panic gripped Caroline’s heart when she remembered that Eddy had come to see her just a few days ago. Somehow, she felt that she couldn’t sleep well if she didn’t meet Eddy’s second uncle in person.

“Can I? Please?” Caroline blinked at him endearingly with puppy dog eyes.

Kirk felt his throat burn. Cursing inwardly, he couldn’t reply.
