Chapter 119: Ridicule

Thank you readers!

There was only one explanation left. The other party knew where Eva was and might even be using Eva as bait to lure out some of her forces. So, as soon as Edwin picked her up, she was met with these annoying probes the next day.

Unfortunately, they probably didn’t expect that this bait would really work, but the person they attracted was Miss Lambert, who had nothing to do with the Pritz family or even the military.

Now, it was those people who were in a dilemma. Even if there was a clear distinction between the business world and the military, the Anderson family’s status and power were still there. They had to consider whether it was worth it to go against the Anderson family for Eva.

From the looks of it, the marriage agreement with the Anderson family was indeed a life-saving charm for her.

!!

Caroline looked at Edwin. This man had already guessed many things, but he was still willing to use the Anderson family to shelter her from the wind and rain. How could she not be moved by such a sacrifice?

She took a step forward and hugged Edwin. “Thank you.”

Although these words didn’t carry much weight, she still wanted to thank him sincerely.

Edwin was still in shock that Eva had saved Caroline’s life. He looked at Eva, who had smeared her face with cake, and thought that he would be more lenient to her in the future on account of this favor.

However, he didn’t expect Caroline to hug him the next second. He subconsciously hugged her with both hands. Then, he heard Caroline say ‘thank you’. He thought for a moment and understood what Caroline meant.

“You know, I don’t want to hear you say that to me,” Edwin lowered his head and whispered in her ear.

“Yes, I know.” Caroline rubbed her head on his shoulder. She knew that a simple ‘thank you’ didn’t mean much. “But this is the only way I can thank you.” It was also what she really wanted to say to him.

“No, I think you have other ways to thank me.” Edwin let go of her.

Caroline didn’t look up, so she didn’t see the teasing smile on his face. She tilted her head and said, “What other ways? just tell me. As long as I can do it, I’ll do it for you.”

Edwin whispered something into his ear, and Caroline was stunned for a moment. Then, her ears turned red and she hit his shoulder. “What are you doing?”

“Hiss!” Edwin clutched his shoulder and hissed helplessly. “You were the one who said that I could make any request. Even if you’re not willing, you don’t have to use so much strength.”

In fact, Caroline regretted it the moment she attacked. After all, her original body was considered strong among girls. In addition, she had consciously increased her strength training during this period of time. So, even if she didn’t deliberately use her strength, her casual attacks were heavy.

However, seeing the ‘it’s all your fault’ look on Edwin’s face, Caroline retracted her hand and snorted. “Serves you right. You wanted to see me make a fool of myself.”

He was clearly a very upright and proper person before, but after getting together, it was as if his true nature had been exposed, and he had become glib-tongued.

Edwin didn’t dare to tease her too much, so he could only admit defeat. “Alright, it’s all my fault.

I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have made such a joke.”

Edwin’s serious apology made Caroline feel uncomfortable. It seemed like she couldn’t joke. “Don’t do it again,” she said unhappily. Then, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed the corner of his mouth. To Edwin’s surprise, she showed a rare childish side and stuck out her tongue at him.

Edwin laughed out loud. He was about to put his hand on Caroline’s arm, but Caroline dodged him like a loach. “From the looks of it, you obviously don’t plan to stay for dinner tonight. It’s getting late, you should go home.”

In terms of agility, Edwin was naturally no match for Caroline, so he could only watch as she walked up to the second floor with light steps. He laughed and said, “You’re clearly a naughty little girl.”

Eva, who was in the entertainment room on the second floor, poked her head out when she heard the commotion. She saw Caroline and noticed that her left ear was red. “Ling, did a bug bite your ear?”

Caroline thought of the words ‘kiss me’ that Edwin whispered into her ear. She stopped in her tracks and touched her earlobe subconsciously. “Yes, I was bitten by a puppy.”

It was a little dog named Edwin..
