Chapter 376
Caroline kept her head down as she ate her baguette. Something fell into her oatmeal. She blinked desperately
before forcing out, “Yeah.”
“Are you really not angry anymore?” Kirk tightly gripped his fork.
Caroline took another bite of the baguette and secretly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. “Are you
talking about having your own company? Why didn’t you tell me about it before?”
Kirk tightly clenched the fork in his hand. Joy surged in every part of his body. He answered with a slight vibrato,
“Because… Because I didn’t know how to tell you.”
Caroline blinked, tears forming in her eyes again. She swallowed again. “When you said you would resign, did you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtalready know you would inherit your family business?”
Kirk was silent. He really hadn’t thought about this. The reason he had mentioned resigning was so that he could
start a company and make Caroline’s life better.
He touched his nose and frowned. Sure enough, once you told a lie, you had to tell more lies to cover it up. But it
didn’t matter. He would do anything to see Caroline smile again.
“No, I wanted to resign to give you a better life. As for my company overseas… Since I focused my efforts on my
job here, I rarely handled things there. So… I’m sorry, darling.”
Kirk walked toward Caroline and squatted down. Looking up at Caroline from under the table, he said, “Will you
please forgive me this time?”
Caroline’s gaze inevitably met Kirk’s reverent ones. Her body trembled. Her feelings were about to
overtake her sense of reason.
It made her want to forgive Kirk at all costs and ignore the messages from the mysterious woman.
She cocked her head and said with difficulty, “I can forgive you, but…” She slowly turned and
looked into Kirk’s gaze.
She dug her nails into her palms, then slowly said, “You can’t lie to me anymore.”
Kirk averted his eyes for a moment, but soon he gave a small smile. “Okay.”
Caroline noticed him shifting his eyes briefly, and her heart went cold. As expected, Kirk was still
hiding something from her.

“Pinky sweat.” She held out her pinky finger
Kirk looked down at her slender finger and hooked his pinky around hers. Then they pressed their thumbs together.
A spark spread throughout their bodies when their thumbs touched. This made Caroline very sad She already knew
Kirk was hiding something from her, but she couldn’t resist reacting to his touch
Fortunately, the phone rang. Caroline hurriedly pulled her hand away and picked up the phone, poorly disguising
her emotions. “Maybe something happened at work” And with that, she walked to the living room.
The person who sent the text wasn’t Marina, but Cheryl. And something really had happened at work. “Caroline!
The company upstairs is making horoscope–themed outfits like ust”
Caroline’s expression changed slightly, and she picked up her bag. “Something came up at work. I have to go to the
company right away”
Kitk asked. “Why don’t I take you there?”
Caroline glanced at Jack, who was outside the door, and forced a smile No. it’s okay
Kirk didn’t insist any further and watched Caroline leave, the smile on his face disappearing
