"I asked him about it, but he still hasn't agreed," Caroline explained.Gwen asked, "Is he afraid Mr. Morrison Senior will notice something?""What is he supposed to notice?" Caroline asked. She thought that Gwen was overthinking things. She said, "Even if he's the son of a wealthy family, the Evans family would have noticed."Gwen stroked her chin. "You have a point. At any rate, Mr. Morrison Senior wants to see him, so you should take Kirk to see him. Let that old man observe him for a bit.""Forget it…" Caroline lowered her head. "Eddy is looking everywhere for Kirk right now. Taking Kirk to see Mr. Morrison Senior is just asking for trouble.""That's a simple problem. Since Mr. Morrison Senior likes you so much, just tell him not to tell Eddy about your visit. Besides …" Gwen pushed, "Don't you want to get that old man's approval?"Gwen knew Caroline well. She managed to convince her best friend with just a few words. Seeing that Caroline was silent, Gwen dragged her out of t

While waiting for the elevator, Caroline couldn't help asking, "Is Eddy's second uncle really married?"Jude nodded. "That's right. Now, it seems that his decision for a fast marriage is the right one.""A fast marriage? Eddy's second uncle had one of those as well?" Caroline thought."By the way, did your husband agree to meet me?" Jude asked.The topic shifted to Kirk, pulling Caroline from her thoughts. She nodded before she could think about it."If that's the case, let's book a table at Starlust Hotel.""Let me arrange a meeting place instead, Grandpa. Eddy has been looking for him everywhere, so can you please not tell him about our meeting?""Huh?" Jude raised an eyebrow. He asked, "Why is Eddy looking for him?"Caroline frowned. "I—I don't know. Just promise me, Grandpa."Jude smiled merrily. "Okay, okay. I won't tell him. But Carrie, even if you don't go back to what you walked out on, sometimes the things you've walked out on may be the best things you've had."Caro

Simon immediately asked the hotel to bring a coffee brewing kit and mugs. Caroline took the opportunity to text Kirk. "My Grandpa is here. How long do you need to get here?"Kirk didn't reply.The staff had brought the tools, so Caroline had no choice but to concentrate on brewing coffee for Jude. Skill and knowledge were required to make coffee. She couldn't be careless.The staff brought them Robusta Coffee beans. Caroline ground the coffee beans with the grinder and boiled some water. Then, she poured the ground coffee beans into a filter. Finally, she slowly poured the hot water through the filter into a mug, filling the room with the fragrant scent of coffee. A cup of dark coffee was ready, emitting an aromatic, smoky scent."Here you go, Grandpa."Jude picked up the coffee. He took a sip and smiled with satisfaction. "Your coffee is as delicious as always, Carrie."Caroline said modestly, "I'm sure you're just being nice, Grandpa."Jude waved his hand. "I'm not. I know y

Along with Brie, the entire Collins family had become the laughing stock of the public. Hence, Howard had come here today to give Jude a piece of his mind. Jude furrowed his brows in displeasure. "I only ever mentioned a blind date, and I never mentioned it again after Kirk married. Besides, it was just a blind date, so there's nothing certain about it. What made you think that the two of them would get married?" Howard was dumbstruck now, but there was nothing he could do to vent his anger. "You should at least compensate us," he said as he looked at Kirk. "Mr. Kirk may be married already, but his career focuses only on domestic businesses now. Besides, men get lonely pretty quickly, so … why don't you let him marry another woman?" He pushed Brie in Kirk's direction. Brie lowered her head, looking shy and embarrassed. She leaned forward, making it look like she was going to fall into his arms any time soon. Unfortunately for her, Kirk dodged her easily. She almost fell to

Caroline didn't care about that. Apart from Jude, she wasn't really close to any of the other Morrisons, after all. "I'm calling a substitute driver, so I'm hanging up." She hung up and called for a driver. Fortunately, she was still in the city, so it was easy for her to find one.It was about 5 pm when she reached Osbury. The sky had a crimson hue to it, and the sun gradually made its descent, making the world look ever so peaceful. However, Caroline's heart was the opposite of that. When she arrived home, she noticed the pair of men's slippers on the shoe rack. Restless, she placed them in the cabinet to avoid seeing them again. Just as she sat down on the couch, she received a call from Simon. "Mr. Zellen, is something the matter?""Ms. Evans, are you back in Osbury?" "Yes. I just returned." "Mr. Morrison Senior asked for you to come to the hospital." Caroline recalled what Gwen told her, and her heart jumped into her throat. "Is Grandpa okay?" "It's not him." Sim
