+15 BÔNUS
Kirk’s nose was at Caroline’s collarbones. He sniffed her familiar scent. But all that came to his
mind were all the things Sarah had done to Caroline during this time.
He couldn’t imagine how Caroline’s small, fragile body would handle her parents‘ betrayal.
Kirk hugged Caroline even tighter!
“It’s nothing. I just want to hug you.
Caroline felt her heartstrings being plucked and trembled minutely.
She allowed Kirk to hold her.
All was quiet around them. It seemed as though there were an invisible ribbon tying their hearts
together.
As she listened to Kirk’s heartbeat, Caroline started to feel sleepy.
Suddenly, a coldness spread from her collarbone.
Caroline got a fright, and whatever sleepiness she felt disappeared without a trace.
She opened her eyes wide and saw Kirk biting her collarbone, sucking gently.
“Are you a dog?”
Caroline really didn’t know what to do with him.
Kirk looked up and touched the pretty red mark on Caroline’s collarbone. “From now on, you’re
mine.”
Caroline felt embarrassed by this. She pushed Kirk away. “I’m hungry.”
Kirk got up and went to bring some dishes out of the kitchen.
Caroline picked up her cutlery and started to eat.
Kirk sat opposite her and watched her quietly. After a long time, he said, “Carrie, let’s have a baby.”
This was the second time Caroline had heard this request.

Caroline paused before continuing to eat. “Let’s talk about it later.”
Kirk’s gaze darkened.
“You’ll definitely be a great mother.”

The food in Caroline’s mouth suddenly tasted like nothing.
Caroline’s eyes stung. She lowered her head and wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes.
“That may not be true People change. Being a mother requires sacrifice. One might be able to
accept it at the start, but as the compromises pile up, one might become resentful.”
Kirk’s gaze was deep as he looked at Caroline. He didn’t even blink. “I am sure of it. You’ll
definitely be a great mother.”
Caroline looked up and saw the confidence in Kirk’s eyes.
The ache in her heart began to spread slowly. She gave him a small smile. “Alright.”
That night, the atmosphere between them was strangely peaceful. It was as if they had gone back
to the past.
But there was something new between them. As for what it was, Caroline couldn’t be sure. But
when she escaped from the sheets, out of breath, she could only feel that Kirk was a little scary
tonight.
It was only when they had both tired themselves out that Kirk carried Caroline into the bathroom.
The next day, Caroline nearly stumbled to the ground when she got off the bed.
Kirk reacted quickly and caught her in his embrace. He chuckled deviously. “Be careful, darling.”
Caroline glared at him.
Right then, Caroline’s phone buzzed on the bed.
It was a call from Gwen.
Caroline didn’t give it much thought and answered it immediately. She only realized it was a
video call when Gwen’s face appeared on the screen.
She quickly switched it to a voice call, but it was too late.
Gwen’s exaggerated voice sounded like a siren.
“Fuck! Fuck! Carol, why is your neck full of hickeys?
Caroline was speechless.
She glanced at Kirk, who was smiling devilishly. She supported herself against the bed to head to
the bathroom.
“Are you calling me for anything?” When Caroline spoke, she found her voice unbelievably hoarse.
Gwen chuckled. “How was it? How was your experience?”

Caroline answered, “If you don’t tell me now, I’m hanging up.”
“Alright, I’ll tell you. I’ve been in a bad mood lately and want to travel. Do you have time?”
“Sure.”
Caroline then teased, “But I remember you saying that money is for saving and something about travel
being a trap to spend money. Why do you suddenly want to travel?”
For a second, Gwen didn’t have an answer.
After a moment, she said, “I… I was just afraid that I might not get the chance to spend all the money
I’ve saved.”
Caroline saw through Gwen, but she didn’t expose her. “The friend you mentioned last time, how is
she?”
Gwen rubbed her head in frustration. “Don’t even bring it up. By the way, you’re going up against that
Vivian woman today, right?”
The change in conversation wasn’t subtle at all. Caroline chuckled. “Yes.”
“Do your best!”
Caroline smiled. “I will.”

Her success or failure would all depend on this.
By the time Caroline washed up, Kirk had already prepared breakfast downstairs.
He seemed different from most other office employees.
He had a whole bunch of time every day. And he never rushed to and from work. He acted as though
he were the boss of a company, not an employee.
“Why were you at Corvin’s yesterday?” Caroline had been wanting to ask this.
She finally had the chance now. “Do you really know Corvin French?”
Kirk’s expression didn’t change at all.
“The company’s management have a project that requires Corvin’s partnership. I went to see him after
finding out he was in Easton. As for whether I know him, it depends on how you define the word ‘know.”
Caroline’s lips thinned
Judging by Corvin’s attitude toward Kirk, Caroline had assumed that they had been friends for

But according to Kirk, they were only business acquaintances.
“Regardless, thank you for the information.”
Caroline got up and said, “I’m leaving now.”
Kirk watched Caroline leave. It was only after her figure disappeared that the warmth in his eyes
cooled into iciness.
Caroline had truly grown up.
Yet as Caroline got to know more about this world, it became even harder for him to hide his
identity.
Kirk’s eyes narrowed. As time passed, he smiled in light mockery.
The little rabbit he’d raised had grown claws. She was now going to personally rip off his mask!
