She noticed his discomfort and handed him a cushion. He accepted it, but instead of using it for himselt
he placed the cushion at the back of her waist
The motion between his fingertips and her outfit sent a tiny electre feeling through her body
Blushing she said “I don’t need it”
Then she tried to remove the cushion. He stopped her. The thight will take ten hours or so I don’t
mind the seat because I’m built tough
Feeling sweet, she eventually fell asleep after a few hours because she was dizzy She woke up to
his voice whispering near her ear. “We’re almost there”
She got up groggily “Did I sleep for that long?”
He found her sleepy look endearing “Yeah”
“Oh, I forgot to give you the cushion” She was concerned Is your back fine?”
He rubbed his lips against her ear. “You’ll know when we test it out at night”
His low, raspy voice was barely audible to the others. Still, her cheeks burned in embarrassment

grinned cheekily I can never behave myselt around you
She couldn’t bring herself to be mad at his thuggish teasing
When they landed, Kirk helped her unbuckle het seat belt, and they left the plane together
As they were about to step off the stairs, a blond stewardess rushed over to them and handed Kuk
a business card with a lipstick mark
By the tune they’d left the airport, Kirk had received more than ten business cards of similar
nature
Caroline hadn’t realized his attractiveness until that moment Some women even made a U–tur
Chapter 128
Kirk threw all the business cards be’d received away ‘No‘
“You’re ying, Caroline accused him with a tiny smile.
He tilted his head and stared at her She quickly wiped off her smile. “What?”
Are you jealous? He smirked at her
Her face was as red as a tomato She denied it, saying, “No”
At that moment, a man in a black suit jogged toward them He nodded at Kirk and spoke fluent
Celonish
Since Caroline had been sent abroad when she’d been eight years old, she was fluent in Celonish.
However, it took her some time to figure out what the man was saying because of his thick
accent. It turned out that Kirk’s family had sent him here to pick them up.
A car was parked across the airport She followed the man’s gaze, and her eyes landed on a Rolls-
Royce She was startled.
Kirk was similarly surprised to see the car. They followed the man to the car, which confirmed
Caroline’s guess. “Is this your family’s car?”
Kirk acted normal. “No, they rented it. My dad has a big ego, and he probably wants to leave a good
impression on your first visit.”
Feeling assured, she entered the car, and the man drove them to their destination.
Kirk suddenly noticed that something was off based on the views from the car window. They
weren’t on their way to his rented apartment.
He texted Ivan, “Why am I not heading to my apartment?”
Ivan replied in no time, “Stay out of this. I’ve made arrangements.”

“What’s wrong?”
Caroline stared at his long face and was confused by the sudden change in his mood.

“Nothing. Kirk tried to wave his frustration away, “You should catch up on your sleep. I guess it’ll
be some time before we reach there.”
She joked, saying, “Do you not know how long it’ll take to reach your place?”
Then, she settled down in a comfortable position and got some shuteye.
He smiled at her. She looked adorable when she was asleep. He’d be willing to lie about his family
background forever if need be.
An hour later, the car finally rolled to a stop. Caroline was deeply shocked by the villa in front of her
eyes.
“K–Kirk, are you a rich heir or something?”
No way. It seemed that Gwen had guessed right.
Kirk placed a finger on his forehead and stared solemnly at his father, who was grinning widely at the
entrance.
“Kirk!” Ivan went out and waved at them. His smile grew when he got closer and had a better look at
Caroline’s face. “Is this your wife? Good. She is pretty!”
“Hello, Mr. Morrison.” Caroline greeted him demurely.
Ivan was well–kept and looked no older than 50 years old.
“Why the formality?” Ivan looked displeased, which sent her into panic as she gave Kirk a helpless
look.
“Dad!”
Caroline clumsily followed suit and addressed Ivan. “Dad.”
Ivan had a bright smile on his face. “That’s it! Come on in, my daughter–in–law.”
Caroline followed Ivan into the villa. There were two other people there. One of them was a young
man in his 20s. It was hard to guess the age of the other woman, though.
After Caroline entered the villa, the woman kept staring at her. Caroline
