“Alright, then I’ll leave now. Have a good rest.” Eddy only turned to leave after a moment of hesitation.

Once the door closed, Caroline couldn’t take it anymore. She collapsed into bed. She really missed Kirk. She really

wanted to be in his arms.

Picking up her phone, Caroline checked the time on the screen. In the end, she didn’t dial Kirk’s number.

Laying in bed, she closed her eyes. Once again, she recalled what Jude had said to her in her dream.

That night was destined to be a sleepless one.

When she woke up the next day, Caroline’s head felt heavy and dizzy.

However, there were a lot of things still waiting for her to settle. Thus, she had to force herself to get into the spirit.

“Did you have a bad night last night?” Eddy hesitantly brought a cup of coffee over.

Caroline looked up. After some thought, she accepted the cup.

“Why don’t I take over?” Eddy felt his heart ache for Caroline at the sight of her this way.

But Caroline said, “No need. Drinking this coffee will wake me up. There’s still lots to do. Tomorrow is Grandpa’s

funeral, and I really hope he can leave in peace.”

After she said this, Caroline looked at the ground in a daze, as if thinking something.

Meanwhile, Eddy sat next to Caroline. “You’ve done a lot.”

“It’s nothing. This is what I should be doing.” Caroline hurriedly got up. “I’ll get to work now.”

Seeing the still–steaming coffee in Caroline’s hands, Eddy gave a bitter laugh. It seemed that Caroline really didn’t

want to look at him.

Thanks to Caroline’s efforts, everything was carefully organized. Even Thomas couldn’t help but praise her. “Carrie,

things would be a mess here if it hadn’t been for your help these past two days.”

Caroline was shy. “Uncle Thomas, you’re being too kind. These are all things I should be doing.”

Thomas replied, “Tomorrow is Dad’s funeral. He loved you the most when he was alive, and he always hoped that

you would join our family. It’s just such a shame …”

After a pause, Thomas continued, “Carrie, there’s a favor I need to ask of you. I hope you can agree to it.”

Caroline answered, “Please tell me.”

“I was hoping you could give Dad a final send–off as our daughter–in–law.”

Caroline’s expression shifted. “Uncle Thomas, I’m afraid that’s not appropriate.”

She was already married, so how could she attend the funeral as Eddy’s wife? That would confuse

everyone.

“Carrie,” Thomas started, looking troubled.

“I know this would make things hard for you, but all Dad wanted before he died was to see you and Eddy together.

Won’t you fulfill his final wish?

“Don’t worry about Eddy. I’ll talk him into it. He won’t make trouble for you.”

Caroline was flabbergasted. Was that the issue right now?

The people who attended the funeral tomorrow would surely think that she had gone back to Eddy when they saw

her standing next to him. If the news spread to Kirk, what would he think?

Caroline was determined not to agree with this.

Unfortunately, Thomas had been called away by someone.

She shoved down her anger. It seemed that she would have to talk to Thomas about this later,

when she had the chance.

It was a shame that Caroline didn’t see Thomas again in the short time left. She could only go to sleep, worried.

Yet, once she fell asleep, she had the exact same dream as the one last night.
