Chapter 198
Caroline saw it all and glanced at Kirk with mixed feelings. “We should head upstairs.” Not only was her
sentence directed at Kirk, but it also served as a signal to Sean.
“Mhmm.” Kirk hummed as he took the juicer with him. “Let’s go.”
Gwen rushed forth to walk in front of the line, followed by Caroline and Kirk. Sean was the last to follow.
When they entered the elevator, he was still busy with his phone.
He kept receiving notifications on his phone, and it annoyed Gwen.
“Girls these days surely are proactive.” Only after she spoke did she realize that her voice had been
dripping with sarcasm.
Embarrassed, she wished she could find a hole in the ground and bury herself in it.
However, Caroline held her hand gently in hers and said, “That’s right. The manner of education they

in our times. It’s only natural that we’re different.”
Gwen glanced at Caroline gratefully. Nobody spoke a word afterward. Their rooms were on the third
floor, so they didn’t need to wait long to go their separate ways.
Once Caroline entered the room, Kirk grabbed her wrist. Pushing her against the door, he started
kissing her. His kisses this time had the gentleness and patience that he usually lacked.
Five minutes later, he let go of Caroline and leaned in to rest his forehead against hers.
His piercing eyes stared right into hers, which were now clouded with passion and desire. Smirking, he
asked, “Do you want to do it?”
Blushing, Caroline shook her head in denial, even though the look in her eyes said otherwise. Kirk slid
one hand behind her back to stroke her spine. “Lying isn’t a becoming quality.”
Just when Caroline thought he’d take things further, Kirk withdrew his hand and bent over slightly to
look at her. “This is just the appetizer. I’ll make some cherry juice for you,” he said.
Then, he picked up the baskets of cherries and turned on the tap. Caroline watched Kirk busy himself
with the fruits while looking at ease.
She then pouted her lips and told him, “I’ll go and find Gwen for now.”
She left their room and went to knock on the door next to theirs.
Gwen had been sitting on the bed in a daze since she had entered the room. Her mind kept replaying
the scene downstairs.
The image of the bold and lively young woman and the genius doctor occupied her thoughts. They
were a match made in heaven.
“Gwen?” Caroline started to worry. Even after so long, Gwen hadn’t opened the door.
Only then did Gwen snap back to reality. Hastily, she got up and walked over to the door. “I’m coming.”
She opened the door and asked, ”

Caroline entered the room and sat at the edge of the bed. She pulled Gwen to sit down beside her.
“I’m the one who’s supposed to ask you that question. What exactly happened between you and
Sean?”
Gwen pursed her lips for a moment before feigning to be calm and relaxed.
“Nothing. It’s just that we made a blunder, you know. Today, we both agreed to let things pass,” she
explained.
It was just because we were drunk. We’re still friends anyway. It’s just that simple.”
The more she tried to hide what she truly felt, the more Caroline sympathized with her.
“Owen, do you like Sean? Caroline finally asked.
Gwen wasted no time denying it. “How’s that even possible? I love everyone and everything.”
But just now” Caroline didn’t finish her sentenc
