BOGUS BILLIONAIRE - Season 5 Episode 34

Mia’s mother never thought that Mia would say something like that. She slapped Mia across the

face and holiered, “How could you say something like that?”

Upset that her mother had just slapped her, Mia covered her cheek with one hand.

She snapped, “What? I only wanted something of my own. You were taken away by a man, so what

makes you think that I can’t snatch away someone’s man?”

That said, she darted out of the hostel and vanished from their sight. Mia’s mother apologized to

Gwen profusely while looking in the direction of the door.

“Sorry! I’m so sorry, Ms. Jameson! Please leave me your number so that I can apologize to you

officially once I’ve settled things here.”

There was no doubting her sincerity, and Gwen didn’t want to trouble her further. After all, Mia

was the one who started all of this.

Gwen was an adult, so she shouldn’t be blaming Mia’s family for what Mia done.

“You should go after her,” she told Mia’s mother.

“Thank you!” After thanking Gwen, Mia’s mother rushed out of the hostel in search of her

daughter.

Sighing, Gwen shook her head helplessly as she watched the woman’s retreating figure. “She’s so

unfortunate,” she said.

“Let’s go back.”

Nobody spoke on the way back home. What Mia said kept repeating itself in Caroline’s mind. “If I

can’t have him for myself, she can’t too!”

Caroline didn’t know why, but it was as if some sort of mysterious power had a grip on her

thoughts and wouldn’t stop replaying those words in her mind.

“We’re here, Caroline,” Sean said.

Only then did she realize that they had arrived at the apartment.

She got out of the car and went to get her luggage, but Kirk was quicker than she was and had

“I’ll accompany you upstairs,” he said while picking up her luggage, leaving her no chance to refuse. He was already heading toward the building, so Caroline could only follow after him.

It was 3:00 pm, and there weren’t many people moving about. The elevator was devoid of any other

people except for the two of them.

To prevent the awkwardness from simply staring at each other with nothing to do, Caroline

busied herself thinking about what Mia had said earlier.

Just when she thought she had it figured out, the elevator doors opened.

She walked out of the elevator, helpless at the fact that she couldn’t reach a conclusion. “Alright,

you can head back now,” she said.

“Nope.”

“What else do you want to do?” Caroline stared at Kirk with alarmed eyes.

Kirk laughed and said, “I’m just going to help you tidy up the house.”

Caroline stared blankly at him, puzzled. She followed him into the kitchen, and he opened the

fridge to reveal loads of food stuffed inside of it.

“D-did you buy all of these?” Caroline exclaimed.

Kirk tossed away all the food that had expired and said, “I was worried that you would get hungry

at night, so I bought you a bit of food.”

Caroline felt the corners of her lips twitch as she stared at the trash can that was ready to burst

apart.

Could this even be considered “a bit“?

“Alright then.” Kirk drew the strings of the garbage bag together.

“I’ll have Charles bring over more food later tonight. Message me if you crave anything. I’ll ask

him to bring it to you.”

Caroline frowned and went after him as he made his way to the door. Her lips were pursed at first,

but eventually she couldn’t stop herself from saying, “Our quarrel isn’t over yet, so stop being so

nice to me.”

She couldn’t possibly be mad at him after he had done all this for her. It wouldn’t even seem like

they quarreled if he continued treating her like this.

Kirk smiled softly at her. “Even if we quarrel, you’re still my wife,” he said.

“I have the responsibility to take care of my wife, right?”

It successfully made Caroline shut up.

After watching him enter the elevator, she went back into the living room with her arms crossed.

All of a sudden, she remembered how she had once thought that the mysterious person who

messaged her did it on purpose to get back at Kirk.

Back then, she couldn’t understand why someone would do that to Kirk. He was just an ordinary

man with a white–collar job, after all.

Although his family ran a business, he didn’t seem to think much of it. So it could only mean that

his family’s company was small.

Why would someone go to such lengths to mess with him? Now, though… Caroline couldn’t be

sure anymore.

They had been fighting for quite some time already, yet he had always respected her wishes and

never showed any sign of annoyance.

Besides being patient with her, he was willing to sacrifice his time and put an effort into doing so

much for her.

It made Caroline couldn’t help but ask herself a question–where else could she find a wonderful

man like him?

Still, what if …
