Chapter 117

Early the next day, Caroline woke up. She hurriedly lifted the blanket, only to find her clothes

Caroline looked up and saw Kirk coming out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around

Kirk pulled her into his arms, asking, “How do you plan to make it up to me?”

Caroline quivered and said shyly, “C–close your eyes.”
