Chapter 162

The morning sunlight scattered across the land and cast a golden glow on Kirk and Caroline through

the door and windows. They looked like they were in a lovely oil painting.

After a while, Kirk stopped in his tracks and smiled. Then, he entered his bedroom with her in his

arms.

She recovered from the shock and kicked hard to protest. “Kirk, stop fooling around! I need to go to

work!”

He took her into the bathroom. “I know. You probably wouldn’t want to go to work looking like this,

would you?”

As he spoke, they reached the mirror. She saw her blushing face and the sultry look in her eyes.

Embarrassed, she wanted to dig a hole to hide.

He grinned and placed her in the bathtub. “Take a bath.”

She was reluctant to listen to him, but she had to take a bath to wash away the desire and lust. When

she emerged from the bathroom, she changed into a black suit.

He narrowed his eyes at her new look. She stayed a distance from him and announced, “I’m

heading to work.”

Then, she quickly went to the first floor. A car was waiting for her. The driver came out upon seeing her.

“Ms. Evans.”

She was taken aback. “Who are you?”

“The company sent me. I’ll pick you up before and after work.”

She wondered, “Does the company offer such a benefit?” She hadn’t been made aware of it.

The driver smiled and opened the car door for her. Seeing that she was close to running late, she

didn’t ask questions and hopped into the car.

Once the car left, Kirk looked away and picked up a call.

“Sir.” Charles reported, “The Collins family is investigating your background. Shall we send them

a warning?”

Kirk played with Caroline’s flowers and plants on the balcony. He said crossly, “No.”

“Got it.” Charles could tell that Kirk was in a pleasant mood. Had he made up with Mrs. Morrison?

Charles couldn’t help but marvel at Kirk’s ability to coax her.

After the call, Kirk was about to turn around and leave when the phone rang again. Checking the

“Uncle Jude.”

Jude Morrison chuckled. “Are you back?”

“Yes.”

“Your dad called me a few days ago. He was satisfied with his daughter–in–law. What now? You’ve

introduced her to your dad. Isn’t it time to introduce her to me?”

Kirk curled his fingers and rested them on the railing. “Fine.”

“You can set up a date and time.”

“I’ll leave it to you, Uncle Jude. We’re free most of the time.”

“Great. I’ll call you once I arrange it.

Kirk agreed to it. Jude chatted with him a bit before hanging up. Beside him, Eddy said in excitement,

“Grandpa, is Uncle Kirk willing to introduce us to his wife?”

There was an undecipherable look in Jude’s eyes. “Yes.”

“I wonder what she looks like and if she’s easygoing.” Eddy chuckled. “I’m really curious about the

woman who conquered a perfect man like Uncle Kirk.”

Jude gave him a side–eye and angrily asked, “Do you know that Caroline’s back?”

The smile froze on Eddy’s face. “Of course.”

“Have you thought about how to win her back?”

“Grandpa, don’t worry about it. She loves me a lot. As long as I promise her, she’ll divorce her

husband in no time.”

Jude scoffed. “Are you that charismatic?”

“Grandpa, you know how much Caroline loves me. Look at her, hiding her husband from everyone. It

shows that he’s way beneath me.”

Eddy added, “Women are vain. After she compares him to me, she won’t be able to stand that loser.

Besides, I’m making the first move here.”

Jude frowned in disagreement at Eddy’s confidence. “What if her husband outshines you?”

“That’s impossible!” Eddy sprung up from his seat. “Grandpa, have you come across anyone better

than your grandson?”

Frowning, Jude waved his hand. “Whatever.”

He decided to wait until Kirk introduced his wite. He hoped his guess was wrong.

When Caroline arrived at the office, she frowned at the vast number of rose bouquets there. She asked

an assistant, “Who sent the flowers here?”

The assistant was a quiet intern and a fresh graduate named Cheryl. She stared at Caroline enviously.

“It’s from Mr. Eddy.”

Caroline rubbed her forehead and instructed Cheryl, “Get someone to clear the roses.”

“Why?” Cheryl thought it would be a waste to throw out the huge amount of roses.

“That’s because…” Vivian Patterson smirked when she walked past the office. “Our dear Design

Director is married. It would be inappropriate to receive gifts from other men. But…”

Vivian changed the topic and turned to Caroline.

“Caroline, you’re quite something. How did you make your ex miss you even after you got married? No

wonder you managed to bag a directorial position without any work experience.”

Cheryl couldn’t take it anymore and retorted with a flushed face, “Vivian, how can you speak to her like

that?”

“Is Viv wrong?” Vivian’s best friend and assistant, Susan, chimed in. “It’s impossible to be appointed

director without work experience at most companies. She must have pulled some tricks to get to where

she is!”

Caroline stopped Cheryl from arguing. She replied calmly, “I’ll prove my capabilities to you. Everyone

knows I landed a designer job at Thorne Corporation through the Novitius Contest. If you spread fake

gossip about me, shall I accuse you of harassing me? Are you badmouthing me because you think the

company’s contest was unfair?”

Caroline had associated Vivian’s accusation with the company’s reputation. Everyone fell silent

for a moment.

After a while, Vivian said with a smirk, “Caroline, you’re pretty good at arguments, but that won’t help

you at work. Only your talent matters!”

Caroline smiled. “Right back at you, Vivian!”
