Chapter 648
“That’s right.” Eddy was suddenly filled with guilt.
“I’m sorry. I’ve done nothing while I was in the hospital these past few days.”
Caroline looked at Eddy in astonishment.
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. I’m just surprised you know how to apologize. It’s startling.” After saying this, Caroline asked, “By the way, is your second uncle coming for the funeral?”
Eddy stayed silent.
Caroline found this reaction very strange. “Is he not coming?”
That wasn’t right. It was a huge thing that Jude had passed away. How could that man not even show up?

Caroline said, “No matter how busy he is, he has to attend this event. It’s a very important one!”
Feeling frustrated, Eddy stood up. “You don’t get it. We… Our relationship isn’t as simple as you think.”
Caroline blinked. She really didn’t understand it. However, Jude’s death was really a big deal. No matter what, Eddy’s second uncle should still attend the funeral.
“Actually, my second uncle was the one who punched me.”
The words had come out naturally. But once he said them, Eddy himself was stunned that he had.
Before this, he had always kept things to himself, no matter what happened. It was only when he
was really confused about what to do that he talked to Kirk about it.
After fighting with Kirk, he didn’t know how to express those feelings anymore. He didn’t expect
that he would open up to Caroline about this.
This felt really strange. It was as if he was talking to an old friend.
Actually, if he considered it carefully, he and Caroline could be considered friends. But because of
Eddy felt even more guilty as he thought about it.
Meanwhile, Caroline was taken aback. “You mean that your second uncle was the one who beat you up?”
That was simply too cruel. However, it seemed to have been quite cathartic.
“Yes.” Feeling as though he had found a confidante, Eddy buried his head in his hands in pain.
“I don’t know what happened. He just rushed in and started thrashing me. It felt like I had stolen something from him. But I never did such a thing!”
Eddy felt very wronged about it.
In answer, Caroline said, “Think about it carefully. Maybe you did?”
Eddy turned to look at Caroline.
Caroline pressed her lips together. “I’m just saying that maybe you did. It’s not like you definitely did.”
Once again, Eddy lowered his head. “It’s impossible. I don’t have any conflicts him when it comes to work.”
“Could it be…” Caroline suddenly thought of what Gwen had said before and intentionally tried her luck.
“A woman?”
“That’s even more impossible. My second uncle … he doesn’t have anyone he likes.”
That Daphne Dawson from last time had only given him false hope. He was pretty sure that Kirk
would be single all his life.
Caroline raised an eyebrow. “How do you know that your second uncle doesn’t have anyone he
liked?”
“With his character, he would have gotten together with the woman he likes long ago if he ever
had one. How could he still be alone right now?”
For a moment, Caroline was silent. She felt that, as the big boss of a huge corporation, Eddy’s
second uncle wouldn’t be in a sorry state if he had someone he liked, either.
