68 Happiness
“Even though I can embarrass the Campbell family in public, there’s no need to go to this extent,” Danika said. Danika thought that the two of them were just trying to piss off Austin and Kelly.
Caroline shook her head. “That’s not the reason. They’re not worth it.”
“Do you love him?”
Caroline thought for a moment. “I’m not sure if I love him or not, but I’m not against marrying him.”
In the short 20-odd years of her life, as she was born into a military family like Pritz and was the only heir, she carried the honor and mission of her family on her shoulders. Therefore, she dedicated all her time and energy to the training ground and the battlefield since she was young.
When other little girls played house with Barbie dolls, her toys were all kinds of long guns and short cannons. While other girls were taking care of their cute pets, she stabbed a short knife into the heart of a beast in the dark forest.
In her life, she had no time to care about love.
Caroline admitted that during this period of time, Edwin had caused a ripple in her heart. However, she wasn’t sure if this ripple was love. However, if she had to choose someone to marry, she wouldn’t reject it if it was Edwin.
Danika disagreed. “That’s not fair, is it?” Even as a bystander, Danika could clearly sense the dazed look in Mr. Anderson’s eyes as he looked at Caroline.
In comparison, Caroline’s gaze toward Edwin was much calmer.
Caroline found it funny. “You sound like you’re standing up for him.”
Danika thought it was normal. “Because if you don’t have a good relationship, it’ll hurt you.” She didn’t want Caroline to start a wrong relationship because of her impulsiveness. She didn’t want Caroline to be hurt like Austin hurt her before.
Caroline’s heart ached when Danika worried about her. “Danika, but in the adult world, feelings are not so pure, right?”
She didn’t know why Edwin was so attached to her, but she really needed him. But there was no need to tell Danika about this. “Although the decision was made in a hurry, I think we’re all mentally prepared.”
Since she had already made her choice, Caroline wouldn’t go back on her word. At the same time, she would try to trust Edwin more. That was why she asked Edwin to find someone. She was slowly opening up her world and what she was going to do to Edwin. During this process, she would give Edwin a chance to go back on his word, but only once.
Seeing the determination in Caroline’s eyes, Danika sighed. She reached out her hand and gently stroked Caroline’s hair. “I don’t know what happened between you and Mr. Anderson, but I hope you can live happily.”
“I will work hard.” Caroline could only promise her this.
The two of them didn’t have much luggage when they left the Lambert’s house, so they quickly finished packing. Caroline was about to call a car to move her luggage when the doorbell rang.
“Mr. Anderson?” Danika asked curiously.
Caroline looked at the surveillance screen and was a little surprised. “It’s indeed Mr. Anderson. He is just another Mr. Anderson.”
Caroline walked out, and George, who was outside the gate, looked at her. When George saw her approaching, he subconsciously took a step back in fear.
Caroline noticed this and raised her eyebrows. She stopped in her tracks and stared at him.
After listening to Joline’s lies, George felt a sense of duty, so he ran to Caroline in high spirits. However, after killing time on the road, he suddenly became afraid when he reached the apartment.
What if this evil woman, Caroline, suddenly acted against common sense and attacked him? He had only brought a driver with him. If something happened, would the driver be able to escape with him in time?
Immediately, George started to back out. However, because he had already made a promise in front of his grandmother and big brother, he didn’t dare to go back directly. If he did, it would really be embarrassing.
He hesitated in front of the apartment building for a while, and because of his suspicious behavior, he attracted the suspicion of passers-by. He had already noticed that an old woman had walked past him several times, staring at him every time. The way she looked at him was as if she was going to treat him as a thief and send him to the police station.
