Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After knowing that Edwin was going to pick up Joline and Caroline, Mr. Hall asked him to help escort Mrs. Hall and the young lady. That was why Edwin had brought so many people with him.

Upon hearing Joline’s words, Edwin nodded. “I’ve already arranged it.” Then, he greeted Mrs. Hall, who came out a step later. “I’ll ask the bodyguards to drive the car into the yard later. The windows are installed with anti-peeping videos, and the body of the car is also bulletproof, so you don’t have to worry about anyone seeing you in the car, and you don’t have to worry about them using guns on you.”

Mrs. Hall was relieved to hear that Edwin had made such a good arrangement. No wonder her husband trusted him.

Soon, more than a dozen cars formed a long line and drove out of the teahouse together. When the people who were secretly watching saw this situation, they could only grit their teeth and give up.

The long line of cars only split into two after they entered the city, each heading in a different direction.

In the car, Edwin held Caroline’s hand, his fingers gently rubbing the calluses on her hand.

In such a short time, a pair of hands that had never touched the sun and spring water had grown such thick calluses. It could be seen how much hard work and sweat Caroline had put in to be able to improve so quickly.

Beside him, Caroline was leaning her head on the back of the leather chair, her eyes half-open. It was obvious that what happened in the teahouse today had exhausted her.

Caroline thought to herself that she still had to work harder to train her body. Otherwise, she would be too weak if she felt tired after just a few minutes of fighting.

“It’ll take about 50 minutes to get home. If you’re tired, you can take a nap.” Edwin patted his shoulder and told Caroline that she could sleep on his shoulder.

Caroline shook her head and refused. “Your shoulders are too hard. It hurts my ears.

Edwin’s first reaction was to wonder if he was too thin. Should he consider gaining weight and working out? Otherwise, would Caroline always refuse to lean on his shoulder?

As Edwin was thinking about all these random things, Caroline’s body suddenly softened. She laid down on her side and rested her head on his thigh. Edwin’s body stiffened, and even his breathing subconsciously became lighter. “Relax.” Caroline patted his knee lightly. “This will make me feel better.”

Edwin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Your actions were too sudden. I didn’t react in time, so I had a stress reaction.” As he spoke, he tried to relax his body.

Caroline heaved a sigh of relief when she felt his muscles relax. “That’s more comfortable.”

As the car shook gently, Caroline fell asleep very quickly. After listening to her long breaths, Edwin took out a blanket from the storage cabinet and gently covered her body. He also gently brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear.

Caroline had a good sleep. When she woke up, she realized that she had slept for almost two hours.

The car had been parked outside the villa for a long time, and the bodyguards had left. Caroline was a little annoyed. “Why didn’t you wake me up?” “I couldn’t bear to wake you up when I saw you sleeping so well.”

Caroline mumbled, “What if I sleep until the next morning? Are you going to sit with me for the whole night?”

Edwin thought for a moment. “If that’s the case, I might have been affected by your sleepiness and fallen asleep as well.”

Caroline looked into his eyes and realized that he was serious. She was stunned for a moment and shook her head. “Next time, if you encounter such a situation, you should wake me up even more. After all, it’s more comfortable to sleep on the bed.”

She lifted the blanket and sat up. “It’s so late. I have to go back. Otherwise, Eva will throw a tantrum again when I don’t see her.”

Caroline opened the car door and was about to get out, but Edwin stopped her.

“Wait a minute.”

“What’s wrong?” Caroline watched in confusion as Edwin got out of the car. He deliberately walked around to her side. “I’ll carry you up.”

Caroline was stunned for a moment before she reacted. “How did you know about the wound on my foot?”

“I guessed,” said Edwin, bending down to hug her.

However, Caroline still refused his thoughtful service and got out of the car herself. “This is just a small wound. If you carry me down, you might scare Danika and Eva. They might think that something serious has happened to me..”
