Chapter 87
After more than an hour, Sean finally found out from Kirk that he and Caroline were giving each other
the cold shoulder.
Sean scratched his head. “… Did you give her the ring?”
Kirk glared at Sean. “How was I supposed to give it to her under these circumstances?”
Sean sat on the couch. “This is really weird. Did you do something to upset her that night she went to
see you?”
Kirk thought about it and replied, “No.”
That night, Caroline had even taken the initiative to bring him food.
“That’s tough, then. A woman’s mind is unknowable.” Sean scrunched up his face. He’d dated a few
women, but they’d all been casual flings.
When it came to love and romance, he didn’t have much experience.
Kirk’s gaze darkened. “Didn’t you say I could get her in a month?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSean replied, “Hey, don’t rush. Aren’t I helping you think of a plan?”
Kirk’s lips pursed into a line. He wanted to say he wasn’t rushing but didn’t.
“Right, you can check if there’s something she wants done or an item she’s been looking for. Help her
get it. That might help her feel better about you.” 1
Kirk suddenly thought of the design he’d seen on Caroline’s laptop a few days ago.
His frown loosened. Then, he got up and headed to the door.
“Hey, where are you going?” Sean asked as he chased behind Kirk.
Kirk left without even looking at him.
Sean shrugged and went back to the couch. He continued where he’d left off, eating his delicacies.
Food was the most important thing in life, after all.
Caroline got out of the elevator and noticed that the door to her place was wide open. 1
Her expression changed, and she quickly rushed to the door.
It was a complete mess inside.
Layla, the person who caused it, was sitting in her wheelchair. When she saw that Caroline had
returned, a trace of panic appeared in her eyes. The next second, she met Caroline’s gaze calmly.
“Did you do this?” Caroline clenched her fists, her eyes blazing.
Layla pushed her wheelchair to a stop before Caroline. Any signs of weakness on her face
disappeared, leaving behind a sharp expression.
“You just came from the hospital, didn’t you?” Layla laughed. “I used to think you were dumb, but it
seems like I’m the stupid one. When it comes to laying schemes, I’m no match for you!”
When Layla had found out that Caroline had been taking care of Eddy every day, she’d lost her temper,
going crazy with fury.
She’d cooked up a plot to finally see Eddy, thinking she could get him to soften up with her. She’d
thought that maybe she could get him to cut contact with Caroline too.
Unexpectedly, Eddy had only apologized when faced with Layla’s tears.
He’d even said that he’d fallen in love with Caroline’s cooking.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven if it was only food, that was unacceptable!
Caroline stared at the laptop on the floor, and her eyes narrowed.
Her design!
Caroline whipped out her phone and called 911.
“Hello, officer? Someone broke into my house and trashed the place…”
Layla was stunned for a second before she could react. She hurled hersell forward, trying to snatch
Caroline’s phone away.
Caroline had reached her limit. She kicked Layla away.
Layla was in so much pain that she gasped. She stood from the wheelchair without a care and reached
to grab Caroline’s hair.
Caroline scratched Layla’s arm, and blood seeped out.
Provoked, Layla shouted and lunged at Caroline. They were on each other in a second, fighting.
When the police came, they separated Layla and Caroline.
Layla cried hideously in her wheelchair. She accused, “Officer, you saw that! She attacked me!”
