My Bossy CEO Husband
Chapter 2187

He hadn’t expected Brian to uncover his identity so swiftly.

Reflecting on the past, he sighed softly.

He wasn’t a saint, and having been cast aside by the Hughes family since childhood, it was impossible not to harbor any resentment.

But fortunately, he possessed a magnanimous heart and didn’t let himself walk down a path of no return.

He simply wanted to atone for his late mother.

Now, he could finally let go and continue his life as Carlow.

Barlow chuckled softly, turned to the wine cabin

et, and retrieved a bottle of wine, intending to have a drink to lull himself to sleep.

Just as he was about to pour the wine, his phone rang.

He glanced at the screen; it was Haleigh calling.

Why would she be calling so late at night? Could something have happened?

Barlow’s smile faded, and he quickly answered the call.

“Haleigh, what’s the matter?”

“Carlow, Karina is heading out, saying she has something urgent to handle.

I’m worried something might happen to her, going out alone at this hour.

If you’re still up, could you go check on her?”

Upon learning what was going on, Barlow suspected Haleigh was probably creating an opportunity for him and Karina to spend some time together.

He replied, “Sure, Haleigh.

I’m still awake.

I’ll go check on her right away.

”

He changed clothes, grabbed his coat and phone, and headed out.

Outside, he saw Karina about to step into the elevator, so he called out, “Karina, wait for me.

”

Karina hesitated at the elevator doors, turning to see Barlow.

She frowned slightly.

She stepped into the elevator, clearly reluctant to engage with him, but eventually pressed the button to wait for him.

Barlow’s leg was still a bit stiff, so he moved slowly.

Karina, eager to head out, was impatient but didn’t rush him.

She only pressed the elevator button urgently once he had stepped inside.

Barlow stood beside Karina.

Noticing her blatant disregard, he smiled and asked, “Where are you heading off to at this hour?”

“It’s mone of your concern!” Karina replied, her face a mask of indifference.

With a raised eyebrow, Barlow leaned in closer, his breath fanning against her ear.
