In the past few days, Kirk had tried every way to talk with Caroline more. Yet, ironically, using his true identity
allowed Caroline to speak with him freely.
“Hello.” He swallowed, trying to suppress the burning emotions in his chest. He didn’t want to scare Caroline off
again.
“Thank you for helping me many times. When are you free? I would like to treat you to a meal.” Caroline didn’t
notice anything unusual about Kirk at all.

they had expected. They had wanted to see Caroline humiliated. Therefore, they lost interest in their conversation.
Caroline said goodbye after seeing that Kirk had no intention of talking to her anymore. She had just taken a few
steps when she heard a guest’s teasing voice behind her.
“Since you just returned from abroad, you must have bought gifts for your wife, right?”
The word “gifts” made Caroline’s heart sting and ache. Then, she thought of Kirk again. If nothing had happened,

Thinking of this, she quietly quickened her pace, trying to drown out the warm laughter behind her.
