Chapter 769

After Layla said that, she turned and ran away.

Eddy finally flung the shear away after Layla left.

Simon had hurriedly rushed over. “Mr. Eddy, are you okay?” he asked Eddy apologetically.

Eddy shook his head. “I’m fine. Don’t let Layla show up anywhere near me in the future. She’s crazy!”

“Of course.” Simon glanced at Eddy’s expression while responding.

After a while, he couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Eddy, didn’t you go to see Ms. Evans? Did she know that her husband is…”

Eddy’s expression darkened even more.

“I don’t know what’s going on right now. However, it seems like Caroline is going to forgive Uncle Kirk.”

“Well …” Simon trailed off.

“What are you going to do next? Unless … However, Mr. Kirk did lie to you and Mr. Morrison Senior.”

Eddy walked toward the study. “I’ll definitely get married to Caroline. I’ve made a promise to Grandpa, so I definitely won’t let him down.

“As for my next step… I’m not sure. It depends on Caroline. It will be less troublesome for me if she decides to divorce Uncle Kirk out of disappointment.

“But she shouldn’t blame me for being ruthless if she decides to get together with him.”

Caroline had to be his!

At night, Gwen’s mother returned to her room as usual after dinner. Meanwhile, Gwen took Caroline to do some shopping at a nearby mall., “Look around and see if there’s anything you still need.” Gwen pushed the cart behind Caroline.

“Let’s get everything you want to buy.”

Caroline smiled. “I don’t think it’s necessary. You’ve prepared for me quite thoroughly.”

“That won’t do. Since we’re already here, let’s buy some snacks.”

“Sure. Let’s buy the ones you like first,” Caroline replied.

“Hey! We’re here to buy the things you need.”

However, Caroline ignored Gwen and dragged her toward her favorite snack shelf.

Gwen had no choice. She could only buy the snacks that she liked before buying what Caroline liked.

By the time they had finished selecting the snacks, the cart was piled high.

“How nice would it be if a guy accompanied us out?” Caroline remarked casually after seeing the snacks in the cart.

However, a tall figure appeared in her mind.

Immediately, Caroline’s smile froze.

Gwen noticed it almost instantly. She looked at Caroline uneasily.

However, Caroline soon returned to normal.

When Gwen saw that, she calmed down but still had mixed feelings. If Kirk saw Caroline right now, he would probably feel even worse.

“Gwen, isn’t that Layla?” Caroline suddenly tugged on Gwen’s sleeves and asked.

Gwen finally snapped to her senses. “Where?”

“There.” Caroline pointed in the direction of the door.

Gwen didn’t manage to see clearly. She only saw a figure hurrying off.

“I’m not sure. But she shouldn’t be here.”

“Why?” Caroline asked in confusion.

Looking at Caroline, Gwen thought of Michael’s words.

Thus, Gwen could only simply come up with an excuse. “Because she doesn’t live here.”

“True. She should be at the hospital right now.”
