Chapter 131

Caroline was so exhausted that she fell asleep as soon as het head hit the pillow

Finished with his shower, Kirk walked out of the bathroom. He found Caroline asleep on the bed with a smile on her face, as though she were having a sweet dream.

He felt the sudden urge to do something, yet he didn’t want to wake her up. In the end, he simply hugged her from behind and suppressed his urges.

“You ungrateful brat,” he muttered with a smile, kissing her gently on her lips. Doing so helped quench his desire a little.

The night passed silently. When Caroline woke up, it was already morning. She tossed and turned a little in Kirk’s arms, stirring him from his sleep. Still, he didn’t open his eyes.

His warm palms were pressed against her tummy, and he pulled her closer to him.

It made Caroline blush. “Kirk,” she murmured. She sounded sluggish, but her voice was music to his ears.

Kirk opened his eyes and moved closer to her until their noses touched. “Call me honey,” Kirk said

teasingly in his raspy voice.

Caroline opened her mouth slowly as she playfully hit his chest with her fists. “No way,” she said, although she totally wanted to call him that.

Kirk propped himself up on one elbow and raised an eyebrow at her. The mole at the corner of his

eye made him look as if he were trying to seduce her.

“Really? Are you sure about that?” He pinched her waist and added, “Who are you going to call ”

honey” then?”

Caroline was particularly sensitive when it came to her waist. She’d almost squealed when he’d pinched her just now. “Stop that. Dad’s waiting for us.”

This made Kirk pinch her again, and he said, “It’s so easy for you to call my dad yours, eh? Why is

it so hard for you to call me “honey“?”

Caroline didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, so she scrambled away from him instead. “Quick, go

and freshen up.”

Kirk didn’t move an inch. “Give me a kiss, and I’ll go,” he said stubbornly.
