Cish spread on the table. A laint smile graced his lips.

Indeed, he was the master chef behind these dishes.

Well, Charles provided the ingredients, but still

By the time he had returned home last night, he had already been sobering up.

Upon hearing Caroline call him ‘honey so affectionately, he had fully awakened from his drunken daze.

Thanks to her loving endearments–calling him “honey and telling him he was the best for her–he could no longer go back to sleep.

Later, he figured that since he would be awake the whole night anyway, he might as well get up and cook for Caroline.

When Caroline slepped out of the bathroom after her shower, she noticed that the chair on her side had been pulled out.

“Let’s eat.”

She asked, “Is your headache gone?”

“It’s still here, just a little. But when I think about cooking for you, it completely disappears.”

“You’re a smooth talker, aren’t you?” Caroline turned to fetch some painkillers for him.

He didn’t take the tablets from her. Instead, he seized her wrist, brought it to his mouth and retrieved the tablets with his teeth.

His lips were cold against her skin, and a tickling sensation crept up her hand.

Caroline quickly averted her gaze to the window, trying to divert her attention.

However, as if intentionally, he leisurely inched closer to her palm again and gave it a little peck.

“That’s enough,” she said.

Just as she was about to retract her hand, he took the opportunity to jerk her by the wrist, pulling her into his embrace.

She fell speechless.

“Darling,” he murmured, burying his nose into her hair.

Caroline could feel trouble brewing. She warned him, “I have work today.”

“I’ve already requested half a day’s leave for you.” 1 This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

She lost her tongue yet again.

As it turned out, even with the morning off, Caroline managed to arrive at the office right on time.

As soon as she entered the room, Cheryl began approaching her with a mysterious look on her face. “Caroline, your neck… Is that Adrian’s

doing?”

Caroline frowned. She took out her pocket mirror and examined herself. It was only then that she noticed the conspicuous mark on her

neck.

She draped a scarf over it. Her tone was stern as she said, “Please stop making jokes about Adrian and me. My husband won’t be pleased.

Cheryl froze. It didn’t sound like Caroline was joking at all..

Realizing that her superior had been serious all along, Cheryl quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, Caroline! I truly thought you were in a secret marriage that you were keeping from the public’s eyes.”

“It’s fine.” Caroline waved her hand, gesturing for her to take her leave.

Cheryl couldn’t dispel her unease as she retreated out of the office.

Laroline turned ner computer on. She couldn t snake on Seans words, which were clouding her mind.

There wasn’t any more gossip about her and Adrian online, But she was rather convinced that many others, like Cheryl, still thought they were merely trying to keep their relationship a secret, probably to avoid offending the Morrisons.

Alter some consideration, she eventually opened Facebook.

She started writing a post that read, “Regarding the recent speculations online about Adrian Sorkin and my marital status, I would like to clarify that it is not true. I am married, but my spouse is not Mr. Sorkin.

“He Is but an ordinary person, and I don’t wish for him to receive excessive attention due to my standing. I would be grateful if everyone stopped spreading rumors about us.

“My husband wouldn’t be pleased.”

Once she shared it, the post quickly garnered many comments.

“Ah, so it’s not Mr. Sorkin after all! Boohoo, I can’t believe how quickly this ship sank!”

“Help! How could this be false? They looked so sweet together, too–especially the way Adrian was staring at Caroline.”

“Since it’s not true, let’s not mention Adrian on her account anymore. It does look like Caroline has a great relationship with her husband, too.”

“That’s true, yeah! But to think that her husband is displeased at just one plece of news… Hahaha, is he the king of jealousy?”

“I’m so curious about who Caroline’s husband is! He makes her life so blissful.”

“Turns out I wasn’t the only one who thought that way, I guess. Since Caroline announced her marriage, it’s become visibly apparent that she’s been happier and more cheerful. When I saw her photo yesterday, I could hardly believe that she was the same person who used to follow Eddy Morrison around.”

“Yeah, her confidence and charm are shining through! She’s radiant from head to toe.”

There were many more comments besides these.

Once the post went public, it didn’t take long for the topic to gain a place on the trending list.

Admittedly, that last statement about her husband’s feelings elicited a mix of emotions in the readers– joy and disappointment alike.
