Bogus Billionaire By Shining Riviera

Chapter 45

Caroline felt like she was having an out–of–body experience. She drifted through the streets aimlessly.

In the past, her parents had said many hurtful things. Each time, she’d felt a stinging pain from it.

This time, though, she felt nothing. In fact, she felt a little numb.

It was as if they were behaving like their true selves now.

The affection they’d shown her in the past had only been due to her status as the future Mrs. Eddy Morrison. It was all because of the

Morrison family.

It wasn’t because they were a family.

“Hey.” Sean suddenly said to Kirk. He was resting in the back seat. “Isn’t that your wife?”

Kirk immediately opened his eyes and looked out the window.

There was a young woman there. She looked dejected as she walked down the street alone. She seemed pitiful and helpless.

“Stop the car.”

Sean muffled a laugh and stopped the car.

“Hey, Ms. Evans!”

Caroline whipped her head up. She quickly saw Kirk sitting at the back of the car. Her icy limbs immediately warmed and regained some feeling.

Kirk opened the door and got out. “What are you doing here?”

As soon as he’d said that. Kirk recalled that Caroline’s parents lived in this neighborhood. When he looked at her pale, bloodless face, he

frowned.

“What happened?” He took Caroline’s hand. He wanted to take her to see Sarah and Dan.

Caroline tugged at the edge of his shirt to stop him. She looked like a lost child. “Cold.”

It was then that Kirk realized Caroline’s hands were freezing.

He warmed her hands in his. “Get in the car. It’s warm in there.” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Caroline lowered her head, tears streaming down her face. “Kirk, I – I don’t have a home anymore.”

Her tears fell on the back of Kirk’s hand. Though they were cold, they burned.

Kirk’s heart burned with a raging flame. He pulled Caroline into his embrace and comforted her, saying, “I’m here. You will always have a home.”

Caroline looked up. “Really?”

Her gaze was filled with devotion.

Kirk squeezed her hand. It was as if he wanted to channel his own strength to her. “Yes.”

Caroline suddenly laughed. “Thank you.”

They were people who would soon part ways. Although she knew that Kirk was lying, she was still very grateful. Kirk always gave her hope when she was in despair.

“Hey, how much longer do you want to chat on the street?” Sean poked his head out of the door after putting down his phone. “The middleman is there.”

Caroline finally noticed that someone else was there. She wiped her tears and looked properly. To her surprise, it was Sean.

“How do you know Dr. Yates?”

*****

Sean shrugged. He wouldn’t contradict his own friend.

*Then you guys came here today to ”

Caroline was trying her best to find a topic of conversation. She didn’t want to reflect on anything that had happened today.

“Buy a house,” Sean answered as he started the car.

“Who’s buying a house? Is it you, Dr. Yates? But I remember the nurse saying you work in a hospital abroad. Are you planning to return to

the country for good?”

Sean grinned. He felt happy to see the good–looking couple in the back seat.

That was why he decided…

“No, Kirk wants to buy a house. He said he wants to give you a home.”

Kirk shot an icy glare at the back of Sean’s head.

Sean ignored it. He continued. “This is the first time he’s said he wants to give a woman a home. You’re really special to him, Ms. Evans.”
