Chapter 819
Bogus Billionaire
Adrian was indeed at Yates Manor now.
However, his purpose for this visit wasnât to see the Yates family but for Caroline.
So, upon seeing Sean, he straightforwardly asked, âWhereâs Caroline?â
Sean pointed to the couch, saying, âJust had someone call to ask the same thing. She went to the seal and probably wonât be back until this afternoon.â
âThen Iâll wait for her to come back.â
Adrian sat down on the couch.
Sean had someone bring a glass of water for Adrian. âActually, you could come back later.â
Adrian smiled. âIâm afraid if I come later, youâll tell me to come back at night.â
Sean asked, âDo you think Iâm lying to you?â
âI didnât say that.â Adrian took a sip of water.
âItâs just that youâre a good friend of Kirk Morrison. So itâs hard to believe you.â
Sean wasnât offended. âAs you wish. I have other things to attend to. If you donât mind, Iâll leave you to wait here.â
âOkay.â
Seeing this, Sean didnât say anything else. He went upstairs to work.
By the time he had finished his work, it was lunchtime. He went downstairs and was surprised to see Adrian still there. He admired the latterâs perseverance.
âYou came anyway even though you know Caroline doesnât like you. Is this a form of ⦠self-torture?â
Sean asked Adrian, who was playing with his phone, as he descended the stairs.
Adrian looked at Sean and smiled. âAre you so sure that the amnesiac Caroline wonât fall in love with me?â
Sean said, âEddy Morrison is a good example.â
Adrian continued to smile../
âIâm different from him. Eddy once caused Caroline a great deal of pain, but I didnât,â Adrian said with.
confidence.
âThis is an opportunity for me. Look, Caroline isnât afraid of me. Thatâs my advantage.â
Sean was speechless.
After lunch, AdrÃan waited until the evening, which was when Caroline finally returned.
Caroline was quite startled to see Adrian as soon as she arrived.
âAdrian, why are you here?â
Feeling triumphant, Adrian glanced at Sean before responding to Caroline.
âSince you came abroad so hastily, I thought you probably wouldnât have had time to bring any local specialties, so I brought some for you when I came over.â
Caroline was touched. âThank you. Thatâs thoughtful of you.â.
On the side, Betty discreetly looked at Sean, her eyes filled with excitement.
Sean was speechless.
âYouâre welcome. Weâre both visitors in a foreign country, and itâs only right for us to look out for each other.â
Betty couldnât help but say, âYou sure know the right things to say. Have you had dinner? Iâm sure your house is far away. Why not stay for dinner?â
At the mention of dinner, Caroline suddenly remembered that she had promised to treat Adrian to dinner to thank him.
âYeah, stay for dinner. Itâs too late today, and Iâm not familiar with this place. I canât treat you to dinner now. So just stay for dinner.
âConsider it my way of repaying the favor. After some time, when Iâm familiar with the places here, Iâll treat you to another meal.â
Betty chimed in, âWhy wait? Since Caroline wants to treatâ¦â
Adrian said, âAdrian Sorkin.â
