Chapter 160

The return trip was scheduled for two days later. Ivan and the Mendeley family went to see Kirk and Caroline off.

Only Ivan and Bryan were sincerely saddened by their departure. Adam and Lia had only shown up because they were family friends.

“Caroline.” Bryan pulled her aside. “Avery has a gift for you, but she wanted me to give it to you in private. I’m not supposed to let Kirk know about it.”

Caroline had noticed Avery’s absence, but she’d chosen not to question it.

Now that Bryan brought up the topic, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why didn’t she give it to me

herself?”

Bryan scratched his head. “I asked. She said she couldn’t show up in front of you. I don’t know

what that means. Anyway…”

He handed Caroline an exquisite gift. “I’ve completed my mission.”

Caroline weighed the gift in her hands. It was rather heavy. She wondered what was inside, but

she believed it wouldn’t be anything good.

“Caroline.” Bryan was blushing. “When will you be back again?”

She replied, “I don’t know either. I’ll visit when I have the time. If you’re free, come and visit me at

Easton.”

“Oh, can I? Sure, you must see me if I ever go to Easton.”

Kirk frowned at the sight of the two chatting and smiling. Ever since their last WhatsApp

message, he hadn’t spoken to Caroline.

He gave Charles a look. Charles took the hint and went up to Caroline. “Mrs. Morrison, it’s time to

board the flight.”

“But there’s an hour left.”
