Chapter 777
Bogus Billionaire
At Morrison Manor, Caroline looked at the oatmeal in front of her. âDid⦠you really make this for me?â
she asked uncertainly.
She couldnât believe Eddy had actually prepared oatmeal for her. She suspected that she was dreaming. If she was, she sure was extremely daring to think he would do this for her.
She remembered dreaming about Eddy before. But the most she had dreamt of was him not complaining about her cooking.
She didnât dare dream about Eddy making anything for her.
âOf course.â Seeing that she seemed to be in disbelief, Eddy felt his heart ache.
âGive it a try. Itâs my first time making it, so it might not taste very good.â
Caroline smiled sweetly. âIt will definitely taste good since you made it.â
After saying that, she scooped a bite of it.
As Eddy had overcooked it, the oatmeal burst in her mouth the moment she tasted it. A strange taste lingered in her mouth.
Lowering her head, Caroline didnât look up for a long time.
When Eddy saw that, he quickly gave a tissue to her. âDoes it taste bad? Spit it out now.â
Caroline shook her head. Suddenly, big drops of tears fell down her face.
It wasnât that the oatmeal was too bad.
It had just made her think of something. She felt something stir her heart and couldnât help but feel very uncomfortable.
She felt like someone else had also cooked for her before. But it hadnât been Eddy. Besides, that personâs cooking was way better than Eddyâs.
Although the personâs cooking hadnât been good at first, the food became delicious after a few attempts.
The personâs appearance and name were just at the tip of Carolineâs tongue. However, she couldnât remember it.
âCaroline, donât cry. I was wrong. I wonât cook for you again. Iâll ask the chef to cook for you, okay?â
Eddy was flustered when he saw her cry.
Caroline lifted her head to look at him. âAre you not going to cook for me ever again?â
âNo way. I wonât cook for you again. Iâll let the chef make it for you. If you donât like her cooking, Iâll order someone else to cook.â
Caroline blinked her eyes and pursed her lips. âAre you really not going to cook for me again?â she asked again.
âNo.â Eddy wiped the tears from her face.
âIâm such a bad cook. Since you donât like my cooking, Iâll stop cooking again. Okay?â
Caroline lowered her eyes. âOkay.â
A bitter smile appeared on her face. So he really wasnât the person in her lost memories.
Seeing that Caroline had stopped crying, Eddy signed in relief.
Then, he took out an invitation letter for her. âCaroline, itâs the annual gathering of the big four families in two days. Why donât you accompany me there?â
Caroline replied, âIâm not eligible to attend, though, right?â
The Evans family was no longer one of the big four families. Caroline was worried that she would just embarrass Eddy if she attended an event she wasnât welcome at.
âI forgot that you already donât remember taking over Collins Group.â
âI took over Collins Group â¦â Caroline furrowed her eyebrows. The pain was drilling into her brain.
âWhen⦠When did I acquire Collins Group?â
Eddy didnât notice Carolineâs abnormal behavior. âJust recently-â he continued.
Just before he could finish, Caroline dropped the bowl of oatmeal onto the floor with a splat.
âWhen did I acquire Collins Group?â Caroline yelled at him while holding her head in pain.
Eddy didnât know what to do.
Suddenly, he thought of Kirk.
However, Eddy soon gave up on that thought.
âCarolÃne, calm down. Thereâs nothing like that. No. I was wrongâ¦â
Carolineâs head was about to explode. She held her head, only wanting to know how she had taken over It seemed that she could only feel better if she filled in the empty memories.
âCaroline â¦â
Eddy had no idea how to console her. âI ⦠Iâll go and find a doctor for you.â
