Chapter 780
Bogus Billionaire
Eddy tiptoed as he pushed open the door. Then, he walked over to the bed and carefully took Carolineâs hand.
âCaroline, Iâll definitely protect you in the future.â
After saying that, he leaned over and was about to kiss her forehead. However, Caroline, who was deep asleep, suddenly opened her eyes.
Eddy was taken aback and almost fell.
Caroline looked at him puzzledly.
âEddy, what happened to you?â Her voice was weak.
Eddy shook his head and looked at her pale complexion.
âIâm fine. How about you? How are you?â
Carolineâs head had started buzzing again. She quickly pressed her forehead.
âIâm okay. Itâs just that my head hurts a lot. What happened just now? You had been saying⦠that I had taken over something?â
âNo. You remembered it wrongly.â
Eddy walked over and sat down beside her. âCaroline, I have something that I want to ask you,â he said.
âWhatâs the matter?â Caroline continued rubbing her head.
âShall we get married?â After saying that, Eddy looked at her anxiously.
Caroline stopped rubbing her head. Then, she slowly lifted her head to look at him. It took a while for her to answer. âEddy, do you know what youâre saying?â
âI know.â Eddy grabbed her hand excitedly.
âLetâs get married, Caroline!â
Caroline tugged her hand back./âWhy donât you calm down?â
âCaroline, didnât you always want us to get married? Why do you look unhappy now that Iâve agreed?â
His words struck deep into Carolineâs heart.
She wasnât sure why, either. Indeed, she had always wanted to marry him. Plus, she had been waiting for this day for eight years.
But now that he had asked, she wasnât happy at all.
âEddy, marriage isnât a childâs game. You should calm down.â
After saying that, Caroline tugged on her blanket. âItâs getting late. You should go back to your room.
My head is still ringing, so I need some rest too.â
Instead of leaving, Eddy stared at Caroline. âCaroline, did you fall in love with someone else?â he asked.
Carolineâs heart skipped a beat.
A blurry side profile appeared in her mind at this moment.
However, she muttered incoherently, âWhat are you talking about? How could I possibly change my mind?
If you say such a ridiculous thing again, Iâll get angry!â
âSince you donât like someone else, why arenât you willing to get married to me?â Eddy persistently asked.
Caroline couldnât answer. Instead, she turned to look at the ground. âEddy, donât force me. I only want to rest right now. Iâm begging you not to.â
Seeing her pale complexion, Eddy managed to grab ahold of himself.
He stood up slowly. âOkay. I wonât force you. You should get some rest. Iâll head out now.â
After the door closed, Caroline slowly lifted her head to look at the door aggrievedly. It was a big mess.
She wondered what had happened.
She had just lost her memories. However, her feelings toward Eddy had completely changed.
She wasnât as obsessed with him as she had been before. Instead of feeling joy, she felt scared when he had asked her to marry him.
Caroline looked up to see the bright sky outside the window.
Suddenly, she really wanted to know what memories she had lost.
More importantly, she wondered/who the person was who kept appearing in her memories.
