NovelEnglishChapter 677:
Returning home, Carrie quickly showered and climbed into bed.
The silky quilt enveloped her, easing the day's stress.
She stretched out, grabbed her phone from the pillow, and decided to read a before sleep.
At that moment, Kristopher messaged her: “Are you back yet?”
Carrie began to reply sarcastically, “Ex-husband, ever heard of boundaries?” She was about to hit send when it
struck her—Kristopher might actually enjoy her scoldings, always seeming to welcher reprimands.
Realizing that scolding him might just be playing into his hands, she reconsidered.
This banter between them didn’t really feel like arguing; it was more like flirting. With that thought, she erased
her response.
As she was about to close WhatsApp, another message from Kristopher appeared.

questions.”
Carrie frowned at Kristopher’s words, her mind overflowing with doubts.

Everything? Did he mean Lise too? How much more could possibly change now? If he had genuinely been willing
to be harsh with Lise, things wouldn't have cto this.
She placed her phone down, choosing to ignore Kristopher.
There's an old saying that actions speak louder than words, especially in matters of the heart. Had he been truly
resolute, Lise would have been behind bars long ago.
Her phone vibrated, pulling her from her thoughts.
Daxton’s message read: “I've left Camille at the hotel. Her brother was there to meet her.”
Carrie pondered her response before simply replying, “Thank you, | appreciate it.”
She hadn't anticipated Daxton would bring up the evening's events.
He said, “I didn’t have any special intentions tonight. | just believe in being open about my feelings. Liking
someone should be honest and direct. | hope this doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable.
You are like a rose | admire from a distance. | appreciate its beauty but have no desire to pluck it. The sgoes
for you. My affection is genuine, without any expectations of reciprocity. If you ever find yourself drawn to me, |
hope it’s driven by your own emotions, not a sense of obligation.”
Daxton had made his feelings clear. If Carrie now chose to keep her distance, it would appear small-minded.
She exhaled deeply. Daxton had a knack for predicting her responses.
With shesitation, she answered, “Of course not.” After pausing to think, she continued, “You're still in the
sspot as Camille in my life. You remain my best friend, just as always.” She sighed once more, feeling
unexpectedly hypocritical.
How could their relationship ever return to its former simplicity?

All she could do now was let the future unfold. Perhaps Daxton would soon meet someone truly meant for him,
and this brief chapter would dissipate like dust in the wind.
Daxton quickly texted back: “In that case, your best friend would like to take you out to dinner tomorrow.”
Before Carrie could complete her response, Daxton added, “You're not going to tellyou're busy, right? Your
brothers are all out, and the company is just running routine rehearsals.”
