Kirk couldn’t resist it when he saw Caroline pout. Still, he managed to hold himself back with his last ounce oí
rationality.
“I can’t accompany you there, darling,” he told her.
“I have something important to attend to on that same day.”
“What’s so important? What’s more important than me?” Caroline turned away from him so that her back faced
him, her lower lip protruding as she sulked.
She had hoped against hope that she could introduce him to everyone during the handover ceremony. Alas, Kirk
just wouldn’t give in. She was so mad at him for it.
Then, Kirk put an arm around her waist and nuzzled her neck. In his low and raspy voice, he muttered, “Naturally,

“You not attending it will be my greatest regret!” Caroline was fuming already.
Kirk stared at her and found himself at a loss for words.
Noticing this, Caroline murmured, “Sorry. I was being too harsh on you. I didn’t mean it. I just hope that you can
show up on such a significant day for me.”
She continued, “Besides, I want the world to know you. I want them to know just how wonderful of a person you

Amused, Kirk chuckled His coarse fingers brushed against her waist as he lowered his voice and said, “Why?”
“There’s nothing nice about what they said- Her words were briefly cut short as his cool lips abruptly pressed
against hers, giving her a shock.
She was about to resist when she felt his hands on her back, pinning her close to him. Eventually, her protests
turned into whimpers, and her knees turned into jelly as she felt herself melt in his

After the deed was done, Caroline trembled slightly. Noticing this, Kirk pulled her into his arms and patted the back

his call history.
Three days had passed since the bank had made the announcement. Yet Eddy still hadn’t contacted him. How
strange.
Kirk had already suspected that something was off back then. Later, Eddy had even made a show of having Layla’s
back. Since then, Kirk had suspected that Eddy had guessed that he was Caroline’s husband.
Since things had come to this, there was no need for Kirk to continue keeping his identity a secret
anymore.
But-
Although he didn’t want to keep it a secret from Eddy, he would surely make the latter suffer if Caroline found out
about it,
After considering his options for a moment, he sent Eddy a message.
“Let’s meet up.”
It didn’t take long for Eddy to reply. “I’ve been waiting for your message.”
“You can decide when and where we’re meeting.”
