Kirk shoved her into the passenger seat with a steely face. He then got into the driver’s seat and shut the door.

Caroline was so startled that she jumped a little. She snuck a glance at Kirk’s unpleasant expression, perplexed. She was the one who should be angry. Why did he look more enraged than she was?

At once, Kirk started the car and sped into the distance.

Caroline nearly flew out of her seat. She grabbed the handhold tightly, her voice sounding distorted in the wind. “What are you doing?”

It was as if Kirk hadn’t heard anything. He stepped on the gas, staring straight ahead as if he were a beast in the night.

At once, the Audi A6 sped through the streets like a rushing river.

Caroline turned pale. She could barely hold on. The wind swept her questions away, her voice drowned in the breeze.

Finally, Caroline stopped struggling and let the wind tousle her hair. Kirk was like a madman, driving her toward the unknown.

Besides, she felt that even if her parents wished for her to be Mrs. Morrison, they would understand her when they heard Eddy’s outlandish request. This was why she had the guts to let them meet Kirk.
