Chapter 52

Kirk’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly. “Oh?”

Eddy scratched his head. The more he looked at the tle, the more familiar it seemed. However, he just couldn’t recall where he’d seen it. He then sat down at the side and said, “Perhaps someone else wore the same one before.”

Kirk’s tensed shoulders slumped down as he hummed in response nonchalantly.

Eddy took another sip of the beer, having regained his composure. “Are you going out, Uncle Kirk?”

Sparing a glance at Caroline on the screen. Kirk rubbed the spot in between his brows. “Nah, it’s more interesting to observe the situation

secretly.”

Eddy nodded. “Then I’ll go out first.”

His temples began to throb at the thought of having a meal with Caroline at the same table.

In the banquet hall, Caroline was chatting happily with Jude, and they appeared even closer than biological relatives.

When the other Morrisons saw that, they immediately came and flattered them. “Ms. Evans, you’re so good at making Mr. Morrison Senior happy. He always has a long face whenever he’s with us. He only smiles when you’re around.”

Although those were honeyed words, they were also true.

Caroline smiled and didn’t say anything.

When Eddy came out and heard what they said, he suddenly thought of how protective Kirk was of Caroline as well, despite having only met her a few times. Eddy couldn’t help but look at Caroline with a probing gaze.

“You’re here. Eddy.” Thomas said upon seeing him. “Take a seat beside Caroline.”

It wasn’t until he finished speaking that he remembered how Eddy’s attitude had been toward Caroline in the past. Just as he wanted to say something to correct himself, his son had already taken a seat next to Caroline.

Thomas exchanged a meaningful glance with Jude.

They had noticed that Eddy was no longer averse to Caroline as of late. It was an optimistic sign that something good would be happening soon. Everyone else had the same thoughts too..

However, it didn’t seem to be the same for Eddy. The moment he sat down, he suddenly felt a chilly wind brush past the back of his head.. When he turned around, there was nothing.

“Grandpa, when is Eddy’s second uncle coming?” Caroline asked, ignoring Eddy.

The banquet was about to begin, but Kirk still hadn’t shown up. Caroline was worried that she wouldn’t be able to see him again today.

“He arrived a long time ago.” Eddy snorted from the side.

Only then did Caroline turn to look at him. “Where is he?”
