Bogus Billionaire by Shining Riviera

Caroline’s heart skipped a beat when Kirk looked at her that way. She angled her head to one side to

escape his gaze. “Did you hear everything Grandpa said?”

Kirk stared at Caroline quietly.

*If you don’t want to see him, I can cancel it.”

Caroline gripped the edge of her clothes in nervousness. Jude was really important to her. He was the

closest family she had in this world. If she could get Jude’s blessing …

“Do you want me to go?” There was a complicated look in Kirk’s eyes.

Caroline lowered her head. Red traveled up her pale neck. “Yes …”

Her voice was soft and moving.

Kirk swallowed. He reached out to brush her hair behind her ear. “Really?”

Kirk’s husky voice was seductive.

Caroline’s face was red as a tomato now. Her heart was beating wildly in her chest, and she was so

nervous that her body was tightly wound. She was afraid that Kirk could hear the pounding of her heart.

“Of …”

Before she could finish speaking, Kirk kissed her. He was in such a frenzy that Caroline’s lips quickly

became red and swollen.

“Kirk …”

Kirk’s knuckles turned white. The desire he had been resisting all night was bursting forth now. A

ripping sound rang out.

Even though she seemed skinny, her figure was full under her clothes. She was slim but had generous

curves. Kirk’s gaze was possessive. It made Caroline go red. She wanted to cover herself, but Kirk

held her back.

Kirk seemed to notice Caroline’s awkwardness. He bent over and kissed her collarbones, “You’re so

beautiful.”

With this kiss, he could hold back no longer. It was as if he’d tasted the sweetest fruit and couldn’t stop

until he’d devoured it, Caroline couldn’t resist either, and her gaze clouded over.

Suddenly, Caroline felt a stinging pain, bringing her back down to earth. She gave a shrill cry from the

pain in her ankle,

Kirk restrained himself despite his lust. He asked, worried, “What is it?”

“My ankle hurts …”

Although the desire was about to consume him, Kirk got up. “Where does it hurt?”

“Where I twisted my ankle. I think I have a cramp.”

Kirk took a deep break. He applied some medication to Caroline’s ankle and rubbed it in.

As he did, Caroline kept stealing looks at him.

A bead of sweat slipped down his nose as he concentrated on his work. He was patient, and the sweat

didn’t interrupt him. A feeling of sweetness rose in Caroline’s heart.

Chapter 65

Caroline finally fell asleep late in the night.

Kirk went to the bathroom to take a cold shower. It was only after two hours under the water that the

desire was washed away.

When he came out, he saw Caroline sleeping on the bed. Only her face was above the covers. In

sleep, she wasn’t like she usually was when awake. She frowned instead of smiling. It was as if she

had some difficult problem she couldn’t solve.

Kirk couldn’t help but kiss her forehead.

When he straightened, he found himself aroused again. Annoyed, he went downstairs and stood in the

cool breeze.

Kirk’s phone rang as he reached downstairs.

Seeing the caller ID on the screen, his expression darkened. “Dad.”

“I knew you wouldn’t be asleep yet,” Ivan Morrison said. “How’s business in Easton?”

7m buying several large makeup companies.” Kirk’s voice was cool. “I think they’ll be settled next

month. After that, I’ll proceed to the

next target.”

Nan laughed. “I knew it would be fine as long as you were handling it. Right, when are you bringing

your wife over?”

van finally got to the point.

Kirk looked in the direction of Caroline’s room. “After a while, probably.”

Ivan’s tone changed as he said, “Didn’t you say you’re coming back next month? Kirk, don’t tell me you

didn’t get married at all?”

She sprained her ankle. I’ll go when she’s better.”

Ivan’s tone changed again. Concemed, he asked, “Is she okay? Do you need me to send the specialist

team over?”

Kirk put a hand to his forehead. “Dad, do you remember what I told you? She doesn’t know who I really

am or who my family is. If she finds

out —*

1 remember.” Ivan said. “I’m just worried about my daughter–in–law, okay? Alright. It was hard enough

for you to come to your senses and mamy. I’ll accept it even if I have to put on an act with you all my

life. But can’t you let me meet her earlier?”

Kirk said. “Once things here are settled, I’ll take her to meet you.”

“Then get on it fast!”

Krk simply hung up.

He raised his head and looked at the darkened rooms. Some emotion swirled in his eyes.

When Caroline woke up, Kirk had already left. The warm oatmeal on her bedside table was the only

thing that told her what happened last

night hadn’t been a dream.

They had nearly …

Caroline felt conflicting emotions about it. She put her chin on her palm.

Her and Kirk — What were they to each other now?

“There you are.”

The words interrupted Caroline’s thoughts.

Caroline’s expression turned stern when she saw Eddy there. Her lips thinned as she turned to look

outside the window. She ignored Eddy completely.

Eddy tightened his fists.

After Layla had been chased out of the hospital, Eddy had spent a lot of effort getting her into this

smaller one. When he’d come to visit her, he’d heard the nurses laughing about a woman who’d been

admitted because of a sprain.
