Chapter 99 - 99 Warmth

“It must have scared you.” Joline still didn’t know how brave Caroline was. She held her hand and said, “It’s all Edwin’s fault. He must have caused this and implicated you.”
“I’m fine. How can you blame Edwin? We’re one now. His business is my business, isn’t it?” said Caroline.
Behind them, Edwin’s face was originally black. He was listening to his subordinate’s report on the phone. When he heard Caroline say that the two of them were one, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curve up.
“Today should have been a happy day, but because of these evil people, our beautiful day has been ruined.” Joline still felt a little apologetic. “The custom-made jewelry will only arrive around four in the afternoon. Why don’t you go and rest first?”
Caroline didn’t want to be changed like a doll again, so she gladly agreed to her suggestion. Just then, Edwin hung up the phone and walked over.
“I’ll take you there.” Edwin held her hand and went up to the second floor. They walked around a circular corridor and opened the door to a suite. “Do you need me to accompany you?”
“No need, I’ll be fine by myself. You can go and do your things first.” Seeing how Edwin answered a few calls in such a short time, she knew that he was very busy. Caroline didn’t need him to put down his work to play with her.
Edwin hugged her affectionately, then kissed her forehead. “I’m sorry, I was careless today.”
He had thought that she would be safe once he arrived at Anderson’s house. It seemed that he had been a little more low-key in the past two years because of his recuperating, which led to some people forgetting his means, so they dared to reach into the house.
“I’ve already said that this is a small matter. I can still handle it.” And she was afraid that she would have to face even more in the future.
“I know. I’m just a little worried.” He was worried that he would not be able to protect her.
Edwin’s hand tightened around her shoulder, and he decided to increase his strength.
Carolyn felt a warm feeling in her heart. The feeling of having someone constantly worrying about her and wanting to protect her was very strange, but it was also very good.
She rubbed the corner of Edwin’s eyes with her thumb. “You’ve already done enough.”
Edwin looked at the warm light in her eyes and couldn’t help but lower his head to give her a light peck. Caroline closed her eyes out of reflex and felt a soft touch on her eyelids.
“No, this is not enough. What’s wrong?” Edwin muttered as he gently rubbed his nose against her face.
Caroline’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, like a butterfly flying in the sun. It was so light, but every time it fluttered, it would touch his heart.
Edwin turned his head slightly and kissed those tender red lips, constantly demanding for a sweet taste.
On the other side, George stopped a maid and asked, “Where are my big brother and the others?”
He just wanted to see what this audacious maid looked like, but when he turned around, he couldn’t find his brother. Even Caroline was gone.
“The Old Madam just told the Young Master to bring Miss Caroline to rest, so they should be on the second floor now,” the maid replied respectfully.
“Rest during the day?” George mumbled. He walked up to the second floor.
The maidservant looked at his back and wanted to stop him, but as a servant, she couldn’t meddle in her master’s affairs, so she didn’t dare to speak.
“Big Brother, didn’t you say that you’re going to visit the house with me?” George saw that the door to Edwin’s room was open, and he began to shout before he even got close. In the end, before he could finish his words, there was a loud noise from inside the room.
He paused and ran over. “Big Brother, are you alright?”
Edwin walked out and quickly closed the door. George only had time to glance inside and saw a round stool on the ground.
Looking at Edwin again, his hair, which was usually combed neatly and exquisitely, was a little messy. The tuxedo he had just tried on was also slightly wrinkled.
George was confused. “Big Brother, what were you doing just now? Why did you make such a loud noise?” He had thought that someone had broken into his brother’s room again.
“It’s nothing. Let’s go. Didn’t you say you wanted me to practice with you?” said Edwin in a slightly hoarse voice.
