94 Lingering
“I’m just a normal, ordinary man,” said Edwin helplessly.
Therefore, wasn’t it normal to show his lust in front of the woman he liked?
He lowered his head. Just as he was about to continue being affectionate, his phone suddenly rang.
The ringtone was specially made and only belonged to the family, so Edwin knew who was calling the moment he heard it.
“Take it,” Caroline nudged him.
Edwin took a deep breath and took out his phone. “You’d better make sure that what you’re talking about is something urgent.” Otherwise, he was afraid that he would vent his anger on others.
The silly George still didn’t know that he had interrupted his brother’s good time. His tone was a little stiff over the phone. “Grandma said that you must make time to go home tomorrow to try on the dress.”
Joline’s original words were, “Even if there’s an important work, I have to work overtime to death tonight. I have to free up tomorrow in advance.”
However, Joline had clearly underestimated how much Edwin loved Caroline. How could he be absent from such an important moment?
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be there on time,” Edwin agreed readily.
Hearing him agree so readily, George felt a little awkward. When he asked his big brother for something, he had never seen him agree so quickly. His big brother had indeed forgotten his brother when he had a woman.
“Big Brother, are you really not going to reconsider?”
Edwin turned around and looked at Caroline. He said with certainty, “I don’t need to consider.”
From the first time he met Caroline, he had no hesitation.
“Alright, I hope you don’t regret it,” George said awkwardly and hung up the phone.
“Joline asked me to go to your house to try on the dress tomorrow.” Just then, Caroline received Joline’s message.
“Then I’ll come pick you up tomorrow,” said Edwin quickly.
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I can take a taxi there myself.” In Caroline’s opinion, there was no need for Edwin to make this trip.
However, Edwin insisted, “I want to do this for you.”
“Alright,” she said. Caroline couldn’t stand his shamelessness anymore. She had no choice but to push him away. “Since that’s the case, you’ve been busy all day. Go back and rest.”
Edwin’s feet did not move. “Have you packed your things? Do you need my help?”
“It’s all packed. It’s just me and Danika, so we didn’t have much to pack. It was quick. Not to mention George.” Although he was a child, he also helped to carry the things, saving Danika a lot of effort.
“Oh,” Edwin replied in disappointment, then he asked, “Are you hungry? Do you want to have supper?”
Caroline shook her head. “I don’t have the habit of eating late-night snacks.”
Edwin patted his not-so-hungry stomach and said, “But I think I’m hungry. Why don’t you eat something with me?”
Caroline pointed at her watch. “Are you sure there are still restaurants open at this time? Or do you want to eat a 24-hour fast food burger?”
Edwin shook his head. Although he had never eaten it before, he could give it a try. However, it seemed like there was no need to bring Caroline along.
Edwin had no choice but to turn his head and look at the kitchen. “I don’t think I’ve told you before that I’ve learned how to cook. I’m especially good at cooking Italian food. Do you want to try it?”
Seeing that he was about to walk to the kitchen, Caroline quickly stopped him. “We just moved in. We have been tidying up the house for the past few days, so we didn’t have time to prepare food.”
Edwin could only stop in his tracks. “Then, I’ll…”
His mind was spinning quickly, trying to find an excuse to stay longer in this house.
“Alright, Edwin.” Caroline stood on her tiptoes and pecked him on the lips. “It’s late. You should go back.”
However, Edwin wasn’t satisfied. He wanted to chase after Caroline again, but Caroline grabbed his shoulder and pushed him out of the door.
Edwin didn’t even have the strength to resist.
At this moment, he had the same thought as George. He should increase his training. Otherwise, he would never be able to defeat Caroline’s strength.
Caroline crossed her arms and stood by the door like a soldier guarding her territory. “Good night, Edwin.”
Edwin had no choice but to walk away, looking back at every step he took.
“Are you still not done with the house?” he asked as soon as he got in the car.
