Thank you readers!
On the other side, Edwin only heard the faint sound of the car and didn’t pay any attention to this small movement.
Caroline heaved a sigh of relief. The two of them expressed their concern for each other and said good night before hanging up.
Caroline couldn’t help but sigh. Edwin was good in every way, but he was just a little too clingy.
“Don’t go in to check first. It should be a small animal or something.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Okay,” Oleg replied. At this moment, the car that passed by Caroline also passed by Oleg. The sound of the car passed through the phone and reached Edwin’s ears, suddenly provoking his sensitive nerves.
Caroline lived in a high-end residential area. The villas were quite far apart from each other and were also far from the road. Logically speaking, Caroline shouldn’t be able to hear the sound of a car when she was at home. However, he did hear it just now. Even though the sound was very faint, it was indeed the sound of a car passing by.
Upon realizing this, Edwin lost his calm. In order to prevent any mistakes, he first confirmed with Oleg. “In the past three minutes, have there been any vehicles approaching the villa?”
The car was a huge target, so it was impossible to miss it. “It’s been three minutes, and no cars have approached the villa tonight,” said Oleg with certainty.
Under such circumstances, there was only one possibility. Caroline was no longer in the villa.
Edwin closed his eyes and tightened his grip on the microphone. He almost blurted out, “Trash!” There were so many people there, and they didn’t even know when Caroline disappeared.
However, the current situation was unclear. He wasn’t sure what had happened. Under the circumstances where a strong enemy was eyeing them covetously, the fewer people who knew about Caroline’s abnormality, the better. Thus, Edwin could only suppress his anger and not let it out.
The only good thing was that from Caroline’s tone, she was probably not threatened. Hence, she should be safe now.
Edwin stared at the call history. He had to admit that he was a little angry at Caroline for acting on her own. But when he thought back to his conversation with Caroline, he realized that she didn’t lie to him. She just kept it a secret.
After realizing this, Edwin’s anger disappeared and was replaced by a little frustration. Caroline didn’t trust him completely. That was why she hid it from him.
Edwin sat in his chair in a daze for a long time, then he called Oleg. “Remove all the thermal imaging devices around the house.”
Before Caroline fully trusted him, it was inappropriate to install the thermal imaging device at this time. He was afraid that it would cause Caroline to be disgusted.
It took a whole night to set up the machine, but Edwin canceled it with a single sentence. However, since Edwin was the boss, they could only do as he said, so they could only let the equipment be dismantled without complaint.
Edwin looked at his phone for a long time. He struggled for a while but still wanted to call Caroline again. She must have sneaked out in the middle of the night to deal with something dangerous. If his phone call distracted her, she would be in danger.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut not calling her didn’t mean that Edwin’s heart could calm down. Helplessly, he changed his clothes and drove to Caroline’s villa to meet with Oleg.
Oleg didn’t know that there was a big mistake in tonight’s mission, so he was surprised to see Edwin here so late.
“Sir, are you looking for Miss Caroline?”
“I’ll wait outside.” Edwin shook his head. He could only be at ease when Caroline returned safely.
Not knowing what was going on, when Oleg saw Edwin waiting outside with a frown on his face, he thought that he was sick from missing Caroline, but he couldn’t bear to disturb Caroline’s sleep in the middle of the night.
He sighed in his heart. He didn’t understand what kind of magic Caroline had to be able to bewitch Edwin to this extent.
She was truly a femme fatale!
Oleg’s dissatisfaction with Caroline increased by another level, but now that Edwin had set his eyes on her, and they were going to have an engagement ceremony in two days, it was already a foregone conclusion. He couldn’t say anything more.
Caroline didn’t know what happened outside her villa. She didn’t know that Edwin was so sharp that he could determine that she wasn’t in the villa with just a small flaw..
