Chapter 61 Enjoying Oneself

Her words made the simple meal sound like a special date.

Caroline regarded her with a cold gaze, but before she could utter a word, Neil interjected. His voice was calm and pleasant. It dissipated Caroline’s anxiety.

“Evan, it’s been a while.”

Neil’s intervention was apt. Caroline had no connection to Evan anymore, and she no longer needed to fret about his misunderstandings.

Evan’s countenance reflected a chilling indifference as he mumbled, “You seem to be enjoying

yourself.”

Neil chuckled and remarked, “Well, it’s quite delightful.”

Daniella gazed up at Evan and remarked, “Evan, don’t you think Caroline and this gentleman make a splendid match?”

Evan’s gloomy eyes revealed no emotions as he pursed his lips and replied curtly, “Hmm.”

Neil glanced at Daniella, then averted his gaze and suggested to Caroline, “Shall we go? I’ll give

you a ride home.”

Caroline intended to decline but hesitated when he added, “It’s not safe there at night.”

With thoughts of her baby’s well–being, she reluctantly nodded in agreement as she brushed past Evan, catching a glimpse of his mocking smile.

On their way back, Neil chuckled and asked, “Are you upset because I didn’t clear the

misunderstanding back there?”

Caroline responded calmly. “There’s no reason to be angry if I’ve already let it go.”

“I find that you resemble my mother more now,” Neil remarked, his smile gradually fading.
