Chapter 378 Carter, You Big Liar

This meant that Amber hadn't lied-she knew this stone, its origin, and its purpose.

The fact that Carter had maintained a positive relationship with the Doltons all these years proved that they wouldn't harm him.

Thinking back to the expression on Amber's face when she looked at me, I could only come to one conclusion.

The reason she was so agitated was probably because this stone could harm Carter, which was why she looked at me with such a wary gaze.

It also explained why he had been hiding the truth from me. This might not even be the soul-binding stone he claimed it was!

He was lying to me.

But where was the other stone?

He had told me to carry it with me. But what about him? We were in close contact every day, and I was confident that he didn't have it on him.

Instinctively, I began searching through the master bedroom-under the mattress, the pillows, anything he frequently touched.

I had searched everywhere, even under the mattress, but found nothing.

Then, I went to the walk-in closet, carefully inspecting his watch box and leaving no corner unchecked.

"What are you looking for?" he suddenly appeared behind me.

Carter's cunning and depth were unmatched. I didn't dare turn around, afraid he'd notice the panic on my face.

I casually touched one of the watches and said, "I was just curious to see what other styles you might not have. I was thinking of buying one for you."

He wrapped his arms around me from behind. "Although I don't need any more watches, I'll always be happy if it's from you."

As he spoke, his kiss brushed my ear, and I pushed him away. "Wait, hold on, I still need to wash up."

"Wash up after, darling. You're not dirty," he whispered, his voice soothing and persuasive. But this time, I wasn't as easily swayed.

"No, I'm all sweaty. Go lie on the bed and wait for me." I purposely acted a little spoiled.

Thankfully, he didn't suspect anything and patted my head. "Hurry up. Otherwise, Zoey and Harlan might blow up the kitchen, and I'll have to clean it up."

Zoey and Harlan, both rich spoiled kids, were capable of doing something like that.
