Chapter 18

Once again, Gwen’s imagination rendered Caroline speechless. “If he truly is some rich man’s son, why would he marry me so quickly?”

Gwen scratched her head, searching for an answer that never came to her. Caroline smiled, amused. “Fine. I’ll ask him about it when I go back home. Then we’ll get our answer.”

“Oh, right,” Gwen said, beaming.

“Well then, come to my house. What do you want for dinner? I’ll go buy the ingredients to make it.”

“Just cook something you like.”

Eddy’s face suddenly popped into her mind. Whenever she made dinner for him over the past eight years, he would always list out the dishes that he wanted. He never asked her about the food she liked. It was as if she never had a favorite food.
