Chapter 70 Head to Redwood Neighborhood

Caroline immediately stopped talking and turned to look behind her.

It was none other than Dr. Wilson, holding a bouquet of Leucanthemella flowers.

“Doctor Wilson?” Caroline stood up in astonishment. It had been quite some time since she last

saw Scott.

Under the warm sunlight, Scott’s facial features emanated a gentle charm. He appeared refined

and kind

With a smile, Scott said, “I saw you as I was heading upstairs just now, but I didn’t want to disturb.

you since you were talking to Mrs. Shenton.”

Awkwardness washed over her. Caroline didn’t know how much he had overheard.

To change the subject, Caroline spoke up. “Thank you for visiting my mother.”

Scott placed the flowers in front of the tombstone and spoke with clarity and tenderness, ‘You

haven’t been taking good care of yourself.”

His words carried a certain conviction.

Caroline lowered her gaze. “I’ve been very busy with work lately.”

Scott glanced at her belly. “You should think about your babies. The first three months are crucial.

Caroline nodded. “Okay, I understand.”

“I recently changed jobs, so I’ve been busy and haven’t had the chance to ask about you…”

Scott inquired hesitantly, “Are you… okay with him?”

Caroline smoothed her hair, which had been slightly ruffled by the wind. “We’re separated, and

I’ve moved out.”

Scott was taken aback. “So, you didn’t tell him about the babies?“.

“No.” Caroline’s voice sounded helpless.

Scott suggested, “If that’s the case, and only if you’re comfortable with it, let me take you out for a

meal.”

Caroline was at a loss for words.

He truly was a kind–hearted person.

He always considered others‘ feelings in his speech and behavior.

When her mother was alive, he had helped take care of her.

When her mother passed away, he set aside his own work to assist with the funeral arrangements.

It would be unreasonable to refuse a simple meal with him considering all that

With that in mind, she asked him subconsciously, “Are you going to celebrate New Year’s alone?”

“Hmm, I always celebrate it by myself. My mother passed away when I was young, and I don’t

know where my father is.”

A tinge of sadness flickered in his eyes as he made that confession.

Caroline was slightly taken aback. After a moment of silence, she proposed, “Why don’t we

celebraté together?”

Paige would be coming to her place tonight, and Scott had met Paige before.

It would be more lively to celebrate together rather than being alone.

Scott was surprised for a moment before he chuckled, “Alright, thank you for your hospitality”

After leaving the cemetery, Caroline and Scott went to a supermarket tooth to buy some items

for their New Year’s celebration.

As they stood at the checkout counter, the cashier couldn’t help but gaze at them..

Suddenly, out of the blue, she exclaimed, “Your husband is so handsome!”

Caroline blushed instantly. “No…”

“Isn’t my wife beautiful?” Scott interjected and chuckled before Caroline could explain.

Caroline stared at him with wide eyes. “We…”

“Please, let me pay for it.” Scott interrupted her.

Caroline was left speechless.

She wished the ground would open up and swallow her,

As they walked out of the supermarket, Caroline sighed with mixed emotions. “Doctor Wilson,

you’ve become quite skilled at deceiving people.”

Scott shrugged nonchalantly. “It’s a festive day. Let’s not dampen her enthusiasm.”

Caroline didn’t know what to say to that. She just helplessly thought, ‘Her enthusiasm has

Upon returning to Redwood Neighborhood, they found Paige leaning against the car, waiting for

them.

Caroline had informed both Scott and Paige earlier, so their arrival didn’t come as a surprise to

either of them.

Paige wasted no time in teasing Scott, and he responded in good humor.

The three of them busied themselves in the kitchen, preparing a lively meal.

In contrast, Villa Rosa was enveloped in a somber and cold atmosphere.

Daniella had moved into Villa Rosa due to her pregnancy, and Lily was taking care of her.

Daniella helped Lily serve the dishes before she headed upstairs to call Evan down for dinner.

Just as she reached the top of the stairs, Evan descended.

She smiled and informed him, “Evan, dinner’s ready.”

Evan didn’t even spare her a glance as he responded coldly, “Go ahead and eat, I’m going out.”

Her disappointment was palpable. “But Evan, it’s New Year’s Eve today.”

He paused briefly, clearly annoyed. “Is that really important?”

“I wanted to eat with you,” she replied cautiously

“You can do that alone.”

With that, he turned away and left Villa Rosa, leaving her standing there with a crestfallen

expression.

“Where is he going on such an important night?”

Evan got into his car and looked up at the window of Caroline’s old room with dark eyes:

Reuben ventured tentatively, “Mr. Jordan, is Ms. Shenton celebrating New Year’s alone?”

Evan pursed his lips. “Head to Redwood Neighborhood.”

An hour later, the car was parked near Caroline’s building. As Evan reached for the car door

handle, he noticed two figures appearing at the foot of the stairs

Caroline, wearing a’white sweater and her hair in a low ponytail, exuded a gentle aura. She held a

trash bag and walked towards the bins, accompanied by Scott, also dressed in white. They were

engrossed in conversation, laughing together.

To outsiders, it would be easy to mistake them for a couple, and Evan was no exception.

A deep chill crept into his eyes as he stared at them, his tension mounting.

The atmosphere in the car turned chillingly cold. Reuben regretted mentioning that Caroline might be

celebrating alone.

After disposing of the trash, Caroline started to ascend the stairs. Out of the corner of her eye, she

noticed a car parked nearby.

Given that the modest neighborhood mostly consisted of ordinary people, the presence of the luxurious

Maybach seemed strikingly out of context.
