Now that they had reached this point, Caroline didn’t want to entangle herself with Aurora any
longer.
“I’m not going to find out why you’re trying to befriend me. But as for whether we can be friends,
I’m going to give you my answer–not a chance in hell!”
Aurora’s expression darkened at her words. “Do you know what you’re saying? Many people want to be my friends, but they never get the chance.”
“That’s their problem, but I really don’t want to be friends with you,” Caroline said.
Then, she told Yvonne, who was enjoying the show, “Let’s go.” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Yvonne proudly held Caroline’s arm, turning back to look at Aurora with a smug grin. She felt so happy. Meanwhile, Aurora was already so angry that her expression was dark.
After leaving the mall, Yvonne said eagerly, “Good job for saying that, Caroline! Aurora is just one of those people who think the world revolves around them!”
Caroline simply smiled at her words. She wasn’t interested in their grudge. She said, “I already booked a table at the restaurant. Let’s go there now.”
“All right!” Yvonne was very excited. This was the first time she had seen Aurora get defeated in public. She would eat her fill as a celebration.
After arriving at the restaurant, Caroline took the chance to go to the bathroom to call Marietta.
Hey, Mom, we’re already at the restaurant.”
“Okay, my people are already there. Just enjoy your meal as usual and leave.”
Caroline hummed in assent and hung up. After taking a few steps, she saw the phone screen light. up again.
She looked at the caller ID. It was an unknown number, and it was from abroad. She answered the
call hesitantly, but there was only silence on the other end..
“Hello?” Caroline spoke up. However, she still didn’t hear a response. “I’m going to hang up if
you’re not saying anything,” she said, about to hang up the phone.
Finally, a clear voice came from the phone’s receiver. “It’s me, Caroline.”
Caroline immediately recognized Adrian’s voice, and she was a little surprised.
“Is that you, Adrian?”
“Yeah. Adrian’s tense body relaxed at her voice.
“It’s been a while. How are you doing in Easton?”
“I’m doing fine.” Caroline looked at the time. She asked, “What about you?”
“I’m also doing fine.” After saying this, Adrian didn’t know what else to say. After he had arrived in
Macldo, he had put all his time and energy into work to stop himself from thinking about Caroline.
Today, he had finally won a project worth more than a billion dollars. Although the project might not be as remarkable as the Sorkins‘ other projects, it was their largest project abroad at present. So he had drunk a little more than usual at the celebration party.
After drinking too much, he had accidentally dialed Caroline’s number. When he heard Caroline’s voice, he felt his heart open like Pandora’s box.
His emotions surged, the strongest of which was his longing for her.
He wanted to get a plane ticket and return to Easton, but he couldn’t. He needed to become capable
enough so he could have the courage to see Caroline and say those three words out loud.
After not hearing anything from Adrian, Caroline glanced toward the private room. She said, “Um,
I have an appointment with someone. So I’ll talk to you later.”
