Chapter 54

Someone’s inside,” uttered Caroline. Eddy’s second uncle was inside.

“It’s unoccupied.” Kirk pushed the door open. He was right. There was no one inside; just a screen which showed the security footage c

the banquet.

Gently, he put Caroline on the couch and looked at her fondly. He whispered, not wanting to scare her, “Can I?”

Kirk hadn’t been able to stop thinking about Caroline since last night.

Caroline bit her lips. The current scene reminded her of the night Kirk had been drunk. He’d asked her the same question too. But this time, he’d asked it while sober.

Caroline gave a timid nod. She wasn’t going to be in this world for long anyway, so she might as well have some fun before she left. Thrilled by her answer, Kirk moved his fingers to the dress’s zipper. Caroline held her breath. Deep down, she longed for it.

Suddenly, they heard footsteps outside, followed by the rattling of the door handle.

“Uncle, are you there?”

Caroline gasped. It was Eddy. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Caroline held onto Kirk’s collar. Her eyes were still misty.

Kirk was annoyed by Eddy’s interruption. However, he had no choice but to suppress his anger. He got up, tidied his shirt, and went out.

Caroline couldn’t hear what he said to Eddy, but after a short while, she could hear footsteps leaving.

She got the hint right away, Kirk was buying her time so that she could leave. Hastily, she made herself presentable. She opened the door slightly to make sure no one was in the corridor. Then, she made a beeline to the bathroom.

Inside the toilet cubicle, Caroline took out her mirror to fix her makeup. From her reflection, she saw a woman with a rosy cheek and hazy eves, blossoming like a rose. The heat returned to Caroline’s cheeks, and she could feel Kirk’s tantalizing breath on her ears.

Caroline took a deep breath to calm herself. Just as she was about to get out of the cubicle and check on Kirk, she heard her mother’s

voice.

“Thank you so much for that idea, Layla. Once Caroline marries Eddy, I won’t forget you.”

“You’re welcome, Aunt Sarah,”

Layla’s sickeningly sweet voice stabbed Caroline’s heart. She had to clench her fists to stop making any noise.

“I’ll ask Caroline to hurry up and announce the wedding soon. Come back once you fix your makeup. Don’t miss out,” continued Sarah.

“Okay.”

Silence fell over the bathroom. Except for the screeching of a wheelchair. Caroline’s hands trembled with fury. She couldn’t hold it any longer. She pushed open the cubicle door and saw Layla, whose face turned white.

“Caroline…”

slap!

Caroline had slapped Layla. Layla’s face swelled up almost immediately.

“Caroline, you crazy bitch!” Layla stood up from her wheelchair and waved her arms around hysterically.

Not one to back down easily, Caroline shoved Layla. The force of which was so great that it sent Layla and her wheelchair tumbling.

Lying on the floor, Layla held a hand over the bruise on her forehead. She turned to Caroline, saying, “Caroline, you’re crazy. Is this how a daughter of the Evans family behaves?”
