Chapter 95
Caroline ran here and there with her laptop in hand for the entire afternoon, but to no avall. She even
thought of withdrawing from the
contest.
But She wasn’t with the Evanses now, and she couldn’t just rely on Kirk all the time. He probably didn’t
have much money with him after buying a villa. Besides, he still had to pay for it every month.
All of this reminded Caroline of how much she wanted to strangle Layla for her sins.
This moming, Kal had messaged her, saying that the process had begun. Layla should receive the
court summons in about two days‘ lime. Still, it would take some time before the official hearing.
Kai had told Caroline that she didn’t need to worry about it and that he’d settle everything for her. So,
she’d only need to show up at court that time.

It was a shame that …
Caroline clicked open to the public page for the design contest and was about to unfollow it when she
realized that a new announcement had been made today.
The registration deadline was postponed for a week!
This meant that she still had a week to get things done! She instantly felt like she’d been given a
second chance at life. Rushing off to the road, she hailed a cab and went back to the villa.
She planned to draw a new draft based on her memory of it. Soon after she’d started working on it, she
found it boring.
At last, she ended up making a new design. Now that she’d gained more experience, she found the
task rather easy.
Caroline had a surge of inspiration, so she managed to complete a whole new draft before night fell.
When she finally finished her work and raised her eyes to look around her, she realized that it was
already dark.
Pleased with herself, she started to head downstairs and was surprised to see Kirk coming out of the
kitchen with a dish in his hands.
“When did you come back?” asked Caroline in shock.
Kirk raised his eyes to look at her.
She looked as if she’d just been through a battle. A few stray strands of hair were stuck to the sides of
her face, and there was a shine in her eyes that made her appear lively and merry.
“I’ve been back for quite some time already.” When he’d returned, Kirk had noticed her occupied with
work upstairs, so he hadn’t been able to find it in him to disturb her.
Soon, however, the exuberance Caroline felt dissipated. Instead, It was replaced by awkwardness
when she recalled what happened between them.

Kirk looked up at her from his seat. The dim light in the room softened his prominent facial features,
giving him an air of gentleness.
Staring back at him, Caroline found herself unable to utter Brie’s name. It was at the tip of her tongue,
but she swallowed it back. She felt all nasty inside, as if something was lodged in her heart.
Her voice was barely a whisper when she’d said those words.
Kirk hadn’t heard her clearly, so he said, “Time to eat.”
She hummed in agreement and went down the rest of the stairs.
Silence hung in the air the entire time they had dinner. The only sound that broke the stillness and quiet
was the occasional clinking of their cutlery on the porcelain.
After dinner, Caroline took the initiative to clear the table.
