Chapter 796

Kirk slowly curled up his body, and just like that, he spent the night in the private room.

He woke up from the cold several times, but he continued to sleep in there anyway. He even kicked away the blanket the bar owner brought for him.

He was torturing himself to ease his suffering. Eventually, the sun rose amidst his self-torture, and he groggily dragged himself up.

Next, he had to face his suffering with a sober mind. When he took out his phone and saw several missed calls from Caroline, his heart skipped a beat. He immediately dialed Caroline’s number.

At that time, Caroline was absentmindedly discussing the marriage with Eddy.

She had tried to call Mr. Y yesterday, but no one had answered. So she had sat on the balcony alone, thinking about Gwen’s words.

She was sure that she didn’t want to marry Eddy anymore. She didn’t know why, but a voice in her head repeatedly told her she couldn’t marry him.

“… Mr. Eddy, when the time comes, the hotel will be at …”

The burden weighing down on Caroline’s heart made it hard for her to breathe. She stood up abruptly.

“You guys can keep discussing this. I’m going to get some fresh air.”

Eddy also stood up. “What’s wrong, Caroline? Why have you been moody since the morning?”

“Maybe I didn’t sleep well last night.”

Caroline forced a smile. “I’m fine. Maybe I’ll feel better after getting some fresh air.”

Eddy pondered momentarily and then nodded and said, “All right. Go ahead.”

Caroline walked toward the yard.

As Simon watched Caroline leave, he couldn’t resist saying, “Mr. Eddy, is Ms. Evans-”

“Get someone to watch her. We must make sure the wedding goes smoothly.”

“Yes, sir.” Simon picked up his phone and made the necessary arrangements.

Meanwhile, Caroline felt better after walking out of the room. She had regained some sense of freedom.

She stretched her waist and breathed in the fresh air in the yard.

At this moment, her phone in her pocket vibrated. As if feeling an intuition, the first thought that came to Caroline’s mind was that the caller was Mr. Y.

When she looked at the caller ID, it was indeed him. Caroline’s eyebrows quirked at the sight.

She looked around and quickly picked up the phone after making sure no one was around.

As soon as the call was connected, she couldn’t resist raising her voice. “Mr. Y, is that you? I called you several times yesterday, but you didn’t answer. Were you very busy?”

Caroline said a lot of things in one breath. After she did, she realized that she had said too much.

However, she had an attachment to him for some inexplicable reason.

“No.” Kirk’s heart ached when he heard her voice.

He said, “Congratulations, you’re getting married.”

“So you do know me.”

Caroline said, “Mr. Y …” Her voice trailed off.

“What’s wrong?” Kirk also lowered his voice, but he sounded as if he was coaxing a child.

“Do you think I should marry him?”

She had initially thought Mr. Y would ask her to think about it like Gwen. However, she didn’t expect to hear a decisive answer when she finished asking her question.

“No!”
