Chapter 375
Caroline took out her phone and tapped on her private chat with Marina. Now, she could only know what to believe after getting
some precise information.
However, Marina hadn’t sent her another message since the last time.
Caroline remembered Marina saying that she could easily investigate the truth. After some consideration, she sent Marina a
message, asking her how her investigation went.
At this moment, she heard Kirk’s voice again. “Darling?”
Caroline’s heart jumped, and she almost dropped her phone. Taking a deep breath, she forced
herself to calm down.
There was no point in having negative emotions like panic, anger, and disappointment when dealing with this issue. She had to
calm down. Only by remaining calm could the damage be minimal.
However, it was easier said than done. After taking several deep breaths, Caroline said, “I got it. I’ll
be down in a moment.”
After hearing a response from her, Kirk’s tense body finally relaxed slightly.
“All right. I’ll head downstairs first.” Then, he hesitated for a moment before finally walking
downstairs.
Neither of them had slept at all last night.
Caroline’s reaction had left him uncertain of what was on her mind. But he didn’t dare go after her
rashly again. That wasn’t his style.
In the past, whenever he encountered a problem, he would always investigate the issue
thoroughly before taking action.
But this time, he had gotten his emotions involved. He had cluelessly grasped at straws, thinking
it was a lifeline.
As a result, things had spiraled so badly that they were now out of control.
Although the rational part of him told him repeatedly that he must investigate the matter before
talking to Caroline, Kirk still couldn’t control himself.

He ran to Caroline’s door several times, wanting to bust down the door.

Fortunately, daylight finally arrived, allowing him to use breakfast as an excuse to talk to her. Otherwise, he was sure that he
would go insane.
Meanwhile, Caroline, who was upstairs, was also on the verge of a breakdown. She looked at her sleep–deprived self in the
mirror and closed her eyes.
Right now, the rational thing to do was pretend that the mysterious woman didn’t send her the messages about Kirk, rebuild her
relationship with Kirk, and slowly look for evidence.
If she found any proof that Kirk was having multiple marriages, she would leave him immediately.
It was a good idea, but when she thought about the possibility of Kirk’s polygamy, she couldn’t bring herself to be in the same
room as him.
She turned on her phone anxiously. Marina still hadn’t replied to her.
Taking a deep breath, Caroline brushed her teeth while waiting for a message. However, there was still no response, even half
an hour later.
Caroline suppressed her irritation, thinking it might be because of the time difference. She put her phone in her pocket, put on
her coat, and went downstairs.
As she turned the corner, she took another deep breath and tried to keep her expression calm. But it was too difficult. Her heart
ached whenever she thought of Kirk.
She pinched her arms before forcing herself to go downstairs with a calm expression.
When she arrived, Kirk was already sitting at the dining table. When he saw Caroline, he
immediately stood up with a smile.
“Darling, I bought you your favorite meat pie and baguettes.”
Noticing the dark circles underneath Kirk’s eyes, Caroline sniffled, feeling the urge to cry.
“Thank you,” she said gloomily, biting a baguette.
Kirk was surprised. He looked at Caroline, and his lips curled into a small smile.
This was the first time Caroline responded to him on her own initiative after returning from
Macovo. Excitement overwhelmed Kirk’s mind. 1

The fork trembled slightly in his hand, and he asked cautiously, “Darling, you’re not mad at me anymore?”
