Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 490: Rivals In Love 

Caroline’s POV: 

I was absent-minded the whole day.

Last night, Charles had proposed to me.He wanted to get remarried.

In the afternoon, during the meeting, I still couldn’t focus and was frequently lost in thought.

Elena also sensed that something was wrong with me.

She asked with concern while we were alone, "Caroline, are you okay?"

I came to my senses and nodded.

"I am fine.I just didn’t sleep well last night."

Sleep had been the furthest thing from my mind after indulging in marathon sex with Charles all night.

At the end of the work day, I walked out of the elevator only to be accosted by a tall man with a very grave expression Despite his grave expression, his voice was smooth and deferential when he greeted me.

"Hello, Miss Wilson."

My brows furrowed in confusion as I stared at him.

"Who are you?"

"This is Carlos Graham, the new bodyguard I hired for you.In the future, he will be responsible for your safety at night, so that you won’t be unaccompanied when you need to leave the house at night.Elena is becoming more and more incompetent."

Dad declared firmly as he walked over to us.

Damn it! How did Dad find out? My head lowered as guilt turned my cheeks a deep red.

"I’m sorry.It was indeed my fault,"

Elena explained apologetically.I tried to pretend to be innocent.

"Dad, I couldn’t fall asleep last night.I just went out for a walk."

"Really? And then you walked to the hospital 12 miles away, didn’t you?"

"Sorry, Dad."

Deciding a subject change was in order, I announced, "Your birthday is coming up soon and I want to arrange a grand party for you.Have you decided on what you want as a gift?"

A wistful sigh escaped dad.

"Caroline, the only gift I want is for you to live a happy life, but not with Charles."

"Let’s not talk about it for the time being.How about making another wish?"

"Well, I want you to attend a party in my stead tonight.I’m feeling a little under the weather, so I’ve decided to go home and rest."

"What party?"

"It’s a jewelry exposition.Some of my old friends will also attend it.Please go to see them for me.Simon will go with you."

I frowned slightly.

To be honest, I didn’t want to see Simon for the time being.

"Don’t refuse it, sweetheart.The Wilson Group will be handed over to you sooner or later, but only if you are with Simon."
