Chapter 176

Caroline sat opposite Gwen.

The shop owner said, “Um..”

Caroline took out several hundred dollar bills from her bag. “I’m really sorry about bothering you,

sir,

The owner accepted the money and didn’t feel like he could say anything more.

Besides, no other customers were in the shop, and their presence didn’t disturb his rest. Thus, he went

behind the cashier’s counter and played with his phone.

“You’re drunk?” Caroline nudged Gwen.

Gwen looked up, acting as if she’d only just spotted Caroline. “Carol, you’re here.”

She looked as she normally did, but Caroline could tell that Gwen was putting on an act.

“What happened?” Caroline asked in concern.

Gwen’s eyes stung. She pouted slightly. “N–nothing.”

She’d seen Sean and some other woman walk into a jewelry store this morning when she’d been

buying breakfast.

Caroline didn’t question her further when she saw that Gwen didn’t want to answer.

She walked past the fridge and took out a few bottles of beer. “Do you want to drink some more?

I’ll drink with you.”

“You’re wonderful, Carol.”

Caroline opened the bottle. It was so cold that wisps of vapor rose from it, shrouding her face.

Caroline poured herself a glass, then poured one for Gwen.

After a few drinks, Gwen finally opened up.

“Carol, what do you think love is?” She held up her glass and looked at Caroline through the amber

“I have a friend. She and a man … did some things after getting drunk. She thought it was nothing.

After all, they’re both adults. But when she saw him with another woman, she felt bad. Do you

think there’s something wrong with…”

Gwen let out a burp. She said, “This friend–she’s really a friend, not me.”

Caroline smiled and patiently waited for Gwen to finish.

Then, berbime dad tien you your trend–does she like this man?

“No, I think?

“If she doesn’t like him, why was she jealous when she saw him with another woman?”

“Jealous “Gwen waves a hand “No, no You’re mistaken. This friend of mine is very open–minded

when it comes to relationships. There’s no way she’s jealous”

Caroline smiled and took a sip of beer. “Even if someone’s open–minded, they will still get jealous

when it comes to someone they like If they don’t, that means they don’t care.”

Gwen couldn’t help but feel stunned at her words She stopped Caroline from drinking further.

Caroline thought about the gift Avery had given her. Even though she knew it was something Avery had

done intentionally, she still couldn’t get over it.

All of this was because she cared

Her glass swayed, and icy liquid splashed on her fingertips. Caroline snapped out of her thoughts and

looked at the quiet Gwen.

“Gwen?”

Gwen answered incoherently Right then, she finally came back to her senses and looked at Caroline.

Caroline said, “Gwen, if you–your friend really likes this man, there’s no harm in trying.”

Gwen’s heart was racing wildly. After a moment, she took a sip of beer.

“Alright, let’s not talk about my friend anymore. Let’s talk about you and Kirk. How are things? Have

you guys made up?”

Caroline drank a mouthful of beer and answered frankly, “No.”

“And it’s all because of that bitch’s photos? If you really feel bad, you should dump it!”

Caroline shook her head. “It has to do with the photos, but also not. I’m only afraid

“Afraid? Afraid of what?”

Caroline pressed her lips together. After a long while, she said bitterly, “Have you seen the kind of news

where the husband is a murderer and the wife only finds out when the police come knocking?”

Gwen sobered in an instant. “Kirk…”
