Chapter 117

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

intact. They hadn’t done anything last night.

“You’re awake?”

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

his hips.

Cold water fell from his hair, dripping down his well–defined muscles before getting absorbed by

the towel.

The sight bewildered her. She answered, “Yeah.”

Kirk approached her and sat down on the bed, which dipped under his weight. His movements

made Caroline’s heart pound, and her face turned crimson.

Kirk fiddled with Caroline’s earlobes, saying, “You fell asleep last night.”

“Huh?” Caroline remembered what had happened last night. Kirk had left the room to answer the

phone, and… she’d fallen asleep.

Her face reddened even more as she apologized, saying, “I’m sorry!”

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.”

Kirk listened to her and closed his eyes.

Mustering her courage, Caroline propped up her body and kissed Kirk on the cheek. Then, she

quickly backed away.
