Chapter 48 -48: Returning Early

Throughout the whole movie, Carolline was completely distracted, and Simon was somewhat distracted as well.

The reason for their distraction was different. Carolline was bothered by the fact that Xavier had seen her with Simon, while Simon was looking for the right opportunity.

His father was discharged from the hospital, and the lawsuit he had accepted was about to go to court. He had confidence in the lawsuit, so he could only stay in G City for a week at most before he had to return to Kyoto.

He wanted to confirm his romantic relationship with Carolline before that.

After the movie, Carolline didn’t even know what she had watched. She gave Simon an awkward smile when she saw him glancing at her.

At this moment, Simon suddenly grabbed Carolline’s wrist. She was stunned, and he quickly asked, “Carolline, can you give me a chance?”

“…I’m sorry.” Carolline broke free and apologized with her head down, not giving any further explanation, nor knowing how to.

“You’re already in love with someone else, aren’t you?” Simon didn’t expect Carolline to reject him so directly and decisively. In his opinion, the only thing that could make her reject him like this was having someone else in her heart.

It wasn’t that he was overconfident, but he had the capital to be arrogant.

“Yes, I’m sorry.” This time, Carolline admitted it generously.

“Alright, I wish you happiness. Now, let me take you home.” They stood by the square, and Simon hailed a taxi to take Carolline home.

However, neither Carolline nor Simon expected that Xavier would be waiting at the entrance of the hospital when they got out of the car. He leaned against a car and watched as Simon escorted her out.

Carolline paused, her body trembling slightly. Simon quickly noticed Carolline’s abnormal behavior, glanced at Xavier not far away, and gave her a slight smile. “Do you need me to go over and explain it to him?”

Obviously, Simon had misunderstood.

“No need, you can go back first. Thank you, Mr. Carrington.” Carolline shook her head and refused.

Simon didn’t insist, got back into the car, and told the driver to leave.

Carolline walked towards Xavier, feeling incredibly guilty. She didn’t know how long Xavier had been waiting there and was thinking about whether or not she should call Bryan to explain. On two separate occasions, he had seen her with Simon.

“Xavier, that’s Mr. Carrington who saved me before. I had dinner with him just to say thanks to him.” Of course, she originally wanted to treat her savior, but Simon ended up paying and even took her to a movie.

This was Carolline’s explanation.

“Miss Carolline, I came here specifically to tell you that Mr. Hawkins will be back next weekend, on a six o’clock flight in the afternoon. I’ll come by then to pick you up, and we can go to pick him up together.” Xavier didn’t say much else. Of course, he came here to listen to Carolline’s explanation on Bryan’s behalf, since he had told Bryan the true situation.

At the time, Bryan hadn’t responded for a long time, and then told Xavier his return date, then hung up. Xavier understood that Bryan had a shadow in his heart.

Of course, whether it was because of Carolline’s injury or Simon’s involvement, Xavier could only guess.

“Ah? I thought he wasn’t coming back until Mid-Autumn Festival? He’s coming back early?” Carolline was surprised for a moment.

This was half a month earlier than expected.

“Yes, Mr. Hawkins said so. He mentioned that you need to make some arrangements for your work a little earlier. Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now. Goodbye, Miss Carolline.” As Carolline seemed to have nothing to say, Xavier left.

After returning home, Emily Hill was waiting for Carolline in the living room. Henry Ruiz was on a night shift tonight, and Emily hadn’t told him about this matter; she was waiting for Carolline to talk about it in the living room.

Carolline couldn’t avoid it, so she had to deal with her mother first. However, she was obviously not in the mood. Emily asked a few questions before losing interest, and it was clear from Carolline’s attitude that she had no feelings for Simon.

Emily stayed awake so late, only to get this result. She felt bored and felt that it had been a waste of time that should have been spent on her beauty sleep. As punishment, Carolline had to get up early tomorrow morning and prepare breakfast.

Carolline was speechless. It was her mother who insisted on waiting so long, after all. Her mother, a woman in her forties, was still so childish. She could only say that her father had spoiled her.

Of course, Carolline agreed to make breakfast. She would just buy some buns, boil a few eggs, and serve them with milk.

After returning to her room, Carolline quickly washed up and lay in bed.

Picking up the phone from the bedside table, it was only ten minutes until eleven. Carolline wondered if calling Bryan at this time would disturb him.

Moreover, was it really necessary to call him to explain just for this matter? Would he really care?

Barely having these thoughts, Carolline had already dialed his number. Hearing the beep in her ear, she felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
