“I’ll tell you everything.”
“Mr. Y.” Caroline’s voice pulled Kirk out of his trance.
He turned to her. “Yes, Carrie?”
“You really don’t have to accompany me. Look, the guests keep turning their heads over to look at us. They probably assume we have something going on.
“It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to go up to them and explain everything.”
If she did that, they would think she was insane.
But not clearing things up bothered Caroline. She felt that they must be speculating about their
relationship.
“Why would you care about what they think? Just focus on your life.”
Caroline hesitated for a second and blurted out, “What about you? What do you think of me?”
Kirk was taken aback by her question.
“Do you … Do I look like the person you like?”
Caroline’s words took him by surprise.
“Is that why you used me to replace her?”
Caroline had spent the past few days wondering why Kirk kept coming back to her even when he already
liked someone else.
The only plausible explanation was that he had lost her and Caroline looked just like his lover.
Perhaps he wasn’t able to let her go, so he was projecting all his affection for her toward Caroline.
Caroline’s heart had sunk when she had arrived at this conclusion.
She suspected that this was somehow connected to how she had lost her memory. Perhaps she had been so heartbroken when she had learned his secret that she had gotten into an accident.
How else would all of this make sense?
She still had all of her memories, except for the ones from the past year. Maybe she had lost all her
memories from the time she had met Mr. Y.

The more she thought about it, the more disheartened she felt.
She was aggrieved. How had she ended up becoming somebody else’s substitute?
Looking at Caroline’s glum expression, Kirk became amused.
He said, “Carrie, you’ve never been anybody’s substitute. You are the only one for me.”
His sincerity moved Caroline.
“Then…”
Kirk tousled Caroline’s hair and said, “I’ll say it once again. Stop overthinking. I’m here with you because I want to. Nobody is getting mad. Once you regain your memory, you’ll understand everything I’ve said
today.”
He continued, “I wish you would stop worrying about these things. Be happy. Enjoy your life.”
Even though Caroline was still filled with questions, she acquiesced to his request.
For some reason, she couldn’t find it in herself to doubt his words whenever she looked at him.
Just then, the gates to the manor opened. A red Ferrari drove in and parked swiftly at its designated spot.
The household staff went up to the car and opened the doors. Two women emerged from the Ferrari.
One of the women looked familiar to Caroline, but she was unable to recall who she was.
Kirk uttered softly into her ear, “She’s Marietta Weiss.”
The name rang a bell in her head.
She had seen Marietta the other day when she had been at the clinic. It was no wonder she looked so
familiar.
“Is she also one of the people I had just met in the past year?”
“Yes.”
“How was our relationship?” Caroline asked.
As she watched Marietta come closer, she felt a surge of affection for her. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Kirk answered, “You were like mother and daughter.”
