Chapter 822
If it weren’t already late, Sean would have wanted to start right away.
“Okay.” Caroline chuckled.
After bidding each other good night, Sean walked to his room with joy.
Downstairs, Betty was also smiling as she watched Sean.
After returning to his room, Sean hesitated over whether he should tell Kirk about Adrian coming to see Caroline today. Just then, his phone rang.
It was Kirk calling.
Looking at the second call from Kirik in a day, Sean smiled. Kirk was too afraid of Caroline being close to other men.
He answered the phone and heard silence on the other end.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Kirk, who was barely awake, asked. “Has Carrie returned home?”
“She came back quite early. Not only her, but Adrian also…”
Sensing a sudden tension on the other end, Sean’s smile deepened. “He also came and brought a gift for Caroline.”
“What else did he do?” Kirk was angry and wide awake now.
“He also mentioned that he’ll come tomorrow to eat the meal Caroline will be preparing. Kirk, this time,
why do I feel like you’re in trouble?”
Kirk sternly pressed his temple. “Are you enjoying watching me lose?”
“Haha. No, absolutely not. But you don’t have to worry. After all, you managed to seduce Caroline with
just your voice.”
Sean hoped Gwen could be deceived so easily too, then things might be a lot easier.
However, Kirk couldn’t be as optimistic as Sean.
“Where are you now? Why is it so quiet there?” Sean wanted to ask from the beginning.
“On the plane.” Kirk closed his eyes.
“Are you really coming over?” Sean stood up from the chair.
“Yes.”
“But your matters there aren’t resolved yet, right?”
“Charles is handling it.” Kirk’s voice became lower, as if he couldn’t say anything more.
Sean guessed Kirk was tired so he didn’t want to disturb Kirk further.
“Alright, sleep well on the plane. I’ll hang up now.”
After ending the call, Kirk tossed the phone aside.
He closed his eyes, but he couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.
At this moment, he just wished he could speed up time.
The next morning, Caroline woke up early.
Betty asked Caroline in surprise, “Carrie, why did you get up so early?”
“I’ll be cooking tonight, so I’m going out to buy some groceries.”
Betty smiled. “Dear, do you know where to buy them? And do you know how far the nearest market is
from here?”
Caroline shook her head.
“It takes an hour and a half to drive there, so …”
Betty pulled Caroline back to the living room. “Write down the ingredients you need on a list, and I’ll have
someone buy them.” Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Okay.” Caroline remembered that she was in a foreign country.
She quickly wrote down what she needed and handed the list to Betty.
Betty glanced at the grocery list and asked, “How many servings do you plan to prepare?”
Caroline thought and said, “Does Mr. Yates want to eat at home? If so, I’ll need to prepare four servings.”
“Five servings.” Sean’s yawning voice came from upstairs.
Caroline and Betty both looked at Sean in confusion.
“Clearly, there are only four people-me, you, Adrian, and Carrie. Why do we need to prepare five servings?
Sean stretched lazily. “Oh, we need one more serving for the stray cat outside.”
