Caroline hesitated for a moment, but she still said with certainty, “If you want to know, I can tell you.”
“Then I want to be the most loyal listener,” said Edwin, taking advantage of the situation.
“Alright,” she said. Caroline had no choice but to cut the script and briefly explain that she went to find someone for help in the middle of the night.
Edwin listened and pondered. “He sounds like a reliable person.”
Even though Caroline didn’t explain in detail, Edwin could more or less guess her purpose for coming here tonight.
“From a certain point of view, that’s true.” For example, as long as it didn’t threaten Will Sr.’s life, he was undoubtedly a trustworthy business partner with a good reputation. This was also the reason why Caroline had asked to buy a weapon from him.
“But he is still a stranger, a profit-seeking businessman.” However, Edwin didn’t trust a person who walked in the gray area. Of course, he wouldn’t admit that he was actually jealous because Caroline didn’t ask for help from her close fiancé when she was in need of money. Instead, she went to look for a strange and dangerous man.
Edwin knew that Caroline wouldn’t easily take his money, so he didn’t show his emotions. However, he couldn’t control the jealousy in his voice. “You trust him so much. It makes me seem useless as your fiancé.”
Caroline was already in the wrong for sneaking out and lying to Edwin. When she heard Edwin’s self-deprecating tone, she felt even more apologetic.
Caroline hugged him gently. “I’m sorry, Edwin. I’ve neglected your feelings.”
A smile flashed across Edwin’s eyes, but there was still a hint of grievance in his voice. “This isn’t your fault. You don’t have to apologize to me. Instead, I should apologize to you. It’s because I’m not strong enough that I can’t let you really rest easy and not worry about anything.”
After hearing what he said, Caroline’s heart ached even more. “You’re great. These things have nothing to do with you. I’m the one who dragged you into this. You don’t have to bear all the responsibility. You don’t have to blame yourself for these things, never. You don’t owe me anything.”
Hearing her words, Edwin unhappily let go of her and corrected her, “I don’t like it when you say things like it has nothing to do with me. To me, your business is my business. If you don’t want me to blame myself, then I don’t want you to draw a clear line between us. Don’t say thank you or sorry to me either.”
Caroline raised her head to look at him. Even though the light was dim, she could still see the seriousness and expression in his eyes. She was stunned for a moment, and her nose felt a little sour.
Caroline had never thought of herself as a weak person. She also believed that she would not be easily affected by emotions. But now that she saw how good Edwin was, she felt that it was good to maintain her current self.
Caroline couldn’t help but tip-toe, wrap her arms around Edwin’s neck, and kiss him.
She thought that even if the two of them only had this moment, it was enough.
However, unlike Caroline who wanted to indulge in her pessimism for a moment, Edwin wanted their future to be long and lasting. So, when Caroline kissed him, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he pulled her into his arms, and just as Caroline was about to pull away, he took the initiative to deepen the kiss.
On the second-floor balcony of the villa behind them, Eva was squatting there, holding the railing with both hands and looking down. She was a little confused and distressed. “Is Ling not back yet?”
Eva’s body had been modified by potions, and she had amazing physical talent. She had also undergone strict military training since she was young. If not for her low IQ she would undoubtedly be the best female soldier. As long as she was given a chance, her future achievements wouldn’t be any worse than Caroline’s.
When Caroline left the villa, she deliberately waited until she was asleep and unguarded. Thus, when she left the villa, Eva was unconscious. However, when Caroline returned to the villa and shouted, “Who’s there?” Eva woke up from her sleep with her amazing hearing.
She recognized Caroline’s voice. Thinking about how she was caught one after another, she panicked. She immediately transformed into a strong leopard and jumped off the bed. Then, she walked to the balcony in two to three steps..
