Chapter 781

A shadow fell across Eddy’s face after he left Caroline’s room.

Sure enough, it was the same as before. She resisted him from the bottom of her heart.

Otherwise, she would have happily agreed to marry him since she had forgotten Kirk.

Uncle Kirk. Eddy couldn’t stop himself from clenching his fists at the thought of him. Caroline had forgotten all about him. Yet …

Eddy raised his fist and was about to punch a hole in the wall when he spotted a car parked on the ground floor.

The Morrisons had dozens of luxury cars. Naturally, he couldn’t recognize all of them, but this one right there… they definitely didn’t own a car like this.

The corners of Eddy’s mouth tilted upward in a smile, and he gradually made his way downstairs to the car.

When he reached the car, he saw the person inside. It was Kirk, just as he had expected.

“Uncle Kirk!” chirped Eddy as he rapped on the car window.

The window rolled down, and he saw Kirk’s bleak face staring back at him.

It was obvious from the bags under Kirk’s eyes that he hadn’t rested well for a couple of days.

It was Eddy’s first time seeing such a dejected and dispirited side of Kirk.

For some reason, a wave of guilt washed over him. It was as if he had stolen a beloved item of Kirk’s.

Kirk took a glance at him and continued downing a bottle of wine, his eyes cold.

Eddy watched him gulp down a mouthful of the drink and said, “Uncle Kirk, don’t be so upset. Things have only returned to how they were supposed to be now.”

He added, “Caroline’s been my fiancée since the beginning-”

He had barely finished his sentence when Kirk yanked his necktie.

The force behind it was so immense that Eddy, who hadn’t anticipated the sudden move, stumbled forward, his face just inches/away from Kirk’s.

Staring at Kirk’s side profile from such a close distance, Eddy subconsciously held his breath in fear.

Uncle Kirk-”

2. 2.

“Eddy,” said Kirk, his piercing eyes staring right into Eddy’s like a Grim Reaper’s.

“Listen up. I’m only temporarily letting Caroline stay at your place.”

“One day, she’ll remember everything,” Kirk said.

“And she’ll get over your grandfather’s death. By then, she and I will be together again.”

Eddy exhaled slowly and forced a smile. “How are you so sure that she’ll remember all that? What if she doesn’t regain those memories for the rest of her life? She’ll be with me-”

Eddy’s words were cut short because his necktie was yanked with such force that he couldn’t utter another word.

“U–uncle K–kirk-”

“Caroline will remember me!” Kirk narrowed his eyes and glowered at Eddy. It seemed like he was warning Eddy and also as if he was talking to himself.

The suffocating air of doom Kirk emanated snuffed out Eddy’s courage to talk back. He didn’t have the guts to say more.

“Uncle Kirk … L-let go of me-”

Kirk cooly shoved Eddy away after the latter begged for mercy over and over again.

After steadying himself, Eddy glanced at the second floor where Caroline was staying.

He turned to Kirk and yelled, “Just give up! Caroline will never remember who you are! Besides, she and I are getting married soon!”

That said, he darted back into the house, fearing that Kirk would come after him. Once he reached the door, Eddy even ordered the housekeepers to shut the gates.

To his surprise, Kirk didn’t come after him and merely stayed in the same spot. His posture remained just as before.

It was as if he still hadn’t snapped back into reality after hearing those words. Eddy started questioning if he had gone overboard.
