Bogus Billionaire ( Shining Riviera )

Chapter 823 

“Stray cat? When did you start feeding the stray cat?” Betty found it strange. 

Sean didn’t explain much. “Mom, it doesn’t matter. Just prepare five servings.” 

Since Sean had insisted, Betty didn’t say anything more. Either way, having an extra serving of food wasn’t 

a big deal for the Yates family. 

On the other hand, Caroline was intrigued. “I didn’t expect Mr. Yates to be so compassionate.” 

Sean seemed to think of something funny. “Yes, if this stray cat isn’t fed well, it might flip over the roof of 

our house.” 

Caroline exclaimed, “Are there cats that wild?” 

After nodding in agreement, Sean left. 

In the afternoon, Caroline started preparing dinner. 

After confirming with Caroline that she didn’t need her help, Betty left the kitchen. 

Betty saw Sean craning his neck, looking toward the door. 

She walked behind Sean and imitated him, stretching her neck to look outside. “Sean, what are you 

looking at?” 

“The wild cat,” Sean replied. 

He had checked with Charles, and Kirk should have gotten off the plane by now. 

However, he hadn’t shown up yet, so Sean had started to worry about Kirk. 

When Caroline was involved, one couldn’t expect Kirk to act the way he usually did. 

However, even after Caroline had finished preparing the meal, there was no sign of Kirk. 

Sean sat at the dining table, feeling uneasy. 

Kirk would have shown up if he had already arrived. 

Perhaps he stayed away to avoid triggering Caroline. 

“Mr. Yates, you seem quite uneasy,” Adrian, who sat opposite Sean, whispered with a low laugh. 

“Are you worried that I’ll manage to win Caroline’s heart and steal her away soon?”

Sean looked at Adrian’s malicious face but remained silent. 

Adrian continued, “I’ve said it before. Kirk doesn’t dare to face Caroline. He’s lost to me because of that.” 

As he spoke, a maid hurriedly ran in and whispered to Sean. 

Sean raised his eyebrows, looked at Adrian, and smiled faintly. 

“Kirk is here.” 

Adrian’s face changed slightly, but soon he revealed a carefree and fearless smile. 

“Even if he’s here, so what? He can only hide and secretly watch me eat with Caroline. Isn’t that even more annoying? If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t have come.” 

If Sean hadn’t known that Adrian was just jealous and had no malicious intent, he would definitely want 

to hang him up and give him a beating. 

What was more, Adrian was probably right. Even if Kirk came here, what could he do? 

Caroline couldn’t see him, and he wouldn’t let her see him to avoid hurting her. In the end, he might just 

hide and secretly watch Caroline, just as Adrian had said. 

Sean was unhappy for Kirk. Caroline and Betty came out of the kitchen. Some maids followed behind them, holding plates and bowls. 

Caroline had seen such a scene when she was at the Morrisons, but those maids had been holding delicious dishes prepared by chefs. 

Now, her simple home-cooked dishes were being carried out in the same manner. She felt like it was too 

grand. 

However, Betty insisted that it wasn’t grand at all. She said that this was their daily routine. She praised every dish Caroline made, making the latter feel shy. 

“Try the dishes Caroline made. They’re really delicious. They’re just as tasty as those made by the chefs.”
