Chapter 299

Kirk lifted a drowsy Caroline back into their home. After helping her with her bath and changing into her pajamas, he tucked her up in bed.

Then, he headed to the study and switched on the PC.

After the screen lit up, his eyes zeroed in on the file containing the Information Quentin had procured for Carolie. He clicked it open.

On the other side of the city, Quentin was busy typing away at his keyboard. He glanced at Adrian, who sat behind him drinking a bottle of

wine.

“Hey, didn’t you say that you were buying me a drink? Why do I feel like you bought it for yoursell?”

Adrian carried on drinking instead of giving him a reply. Later, Quentin let go of his mouse and stood up, waiting for the PC to continue its operation on its own.

He sat down beside Adrian and said, “What’s wrong? That woman doesn’t have eyes for you?” Quentin knew that the Sorkins had arranged a blind date for Adrian.

Adrian took a gulp from the bottle and told him, “I met Caroline today.”

Quentin clicked his tongue. He knew it was about her.

After taking another gulp of the alcohol, Adrian continued, “She came to the restaurant with her husband today. Every time she mentioned him, she’d always have this proud and blessed look on her face. I

“I’m really curious just what kind of a man he is to be able to make her change so much and become totally different from what she was like when she was little.”

Quentin was stunned. This was the first time he had seen Adrian so upset.

A moment later, he stopped joking and said, “Hey, we’ve known each other for so many years, but why haven’t you talked to me about her in the past?”

“What’s there to talk about?” Adrian smiled bitterly.

“When we were young, they said she was destined to marry Eddy. Later, when I learned that she broke off her engagement with him, she’d already married another man. Maybe we just aren’t meant to be.”

Perhaps it was the effect of wine that made Adrian so open about his thoughts. He slouched on the couch, looking very dispirited and fragile.

Quentin fell silent and grabbed himself a bottle of beer. “Maybe you can try it out with someone else.”
