Chapter 116 Companionship Was the Ever-lasting Confession of Love

When Caroline walked downstairs, he saw the man in a white shirt and a pair of casual pants standing under the old banyan again.

With a hint of surprise flashing across her eyes, she greeted, "Mr. Tucker."

She hadn't seen him for so long.

Yet today he showed up again.

"Let's go. You must be hungry, right?" The man who stood under the tree walked up to Caroline, reached out toward her naturally, and then held her hand. Caroline wanted to dodge it, but Antonio suddenly raised his head and said, "You know. Your strength is smaller than mine."

He was reminding Caroline not to make a useless effort.

"Get in the car. I've been busy recently and I haven't eaten the beef noodles made by Hudson for several days. Go there to eat it with me."

Caroline silently raised her head, took a glance at the man before her, raised her leg, and then got into the car. She thought to herself, "Alas, I should talk to him after accompanying him to eat a bowl of noodles."

They didn't talk on the way to Hudson's restaurant and the atmosphere seemed depressing.

Antonio became less talkative today and he looked like a totally different person from the boy in Caroline's impression.

Along the way, Caroline peeked at Antonio who was driving several times.

She was more certain about her assumption. Antonio didn't look good. Although his grooming was still clean and refreshing, his eyes looked puffy with dark circles under them. It was very apparent.

Just like usual, Caroline followed Antonio into the beef noodle restaurant after getting off the car.

When they were having noodles, Antonio's phone kept ringing with notification sounds as he would receive a message from time to time.

When Caroline finished her noodles, he thought maybe she should make things clear with this boy when he finished his noodles.

"Mr..." She put down her cutleries and prepared to say something.

But Antonio's phone which was placed on the table rang again.

This time, it was not a message. Looking at his phone, Antonio gradually knitted his brows. He picked up his phone from the table, stood up, and walked toward the door while saying to Caroline, "Wait a minute. I need to answer a call." Then he hurriedly walked out of the restaurant.

Caroline looked out of the door and found Antonio seemed to have lost his temper and was packing back and forth. A hint of doubt flashed across her mind. When Antonio went back, Caroline blinked her eyes. She could clearly see the anxiety and anger in his eyes.

And he was knitting his brows even tighter.

"Mr. Tucker, have something happened to you recently?"

Antonio hadn't expected that Caroline who was always taciturn would suddenly ask him this question.

He raised his head and asked instead, "Why did you ask so?"

"It's just that I think you seem to have been bothered by something recently."

Caroline was a bit regretful when she realized what she had said. It was none of her business no matter if Antonio was bothered by anything or if anything had happened to him. Moreover, she prepared to make it clear to him today. No matter if his confession was sincere or not, Caroline believed that she couldn't drag an irrelevant person into hell.

Antonio, however, felt happy when he heard Caroline's words. He felt sweet when he took a glance at Caroline who kept her head bowed and refused to say anything. Was she showing concern for him?

"I'm okay." His knitted brows loosened a bit. With a trace of gentleness on his face, he said, "It's just the affair in my company. Callie, don't worry. It's no big deal and I can handle it."

"Well..." Caroline thought now that it was not something serious, then she could tell him more about her true self. She spoke, "Actually, today I want to tell..."

It was the familiar ringtone again. When the ringtone came out, Caroline could clearly sense that the boy beside her immediately emanated a gloomy aura. "Callie, let me send you home first. I have an unscheduled meeting in the company today."

Antonio glanced at the screen of his phone. He didn't answer the call and just let that brainwashing ringtone resound in this small noodle restaurant. He dropped a note on the table, pulled up Caroline by her arm, and hurried toward his car.

After getting into the car, Antonio finally realized that Caroline seemed to want to say something to him before. He asked, "By the way, what did you want to say just now? What did you want to tell me?"

"I..." Caroline who sat in the passenger seat originally wanted to tell him about her past, but she pondered for a while and hesitated. She decided now that she was going to tell him sooner or later, it didn't have to be now. And it seemed like Antonio had really encountered a tough nut. She thought for a while and changed her wording, "Not an important matter. Mr. Tucker, I will tell you later when you get your work done."

A hint of softness appeared in Antonio's eyes. It seemed like Caroline began to show concern for him though she herself wasn't aware of this.

No matter what kind of role Bentley had played in her past and no matter what had happened between them, Antonio believed that none of them would matter as long as he could accompany her all the time. After all, companionship was the ever-lasting confession of love. She would get used to his existence and companion someday. Then the past would only be the past and become a story in the corner of her memory.

If Caroline knew what Antonio was thinking, she would never be softhearted to him today no matter what was happening to him. She wouldn't delay the time.

"I have been busy recently. Callie, be obedient. I will come to find you soon. Before that, please protect yourself and don't let yourself get hurt. Promise me."

Caroline's heartbeat quickened. She looked down at the big hand which wrapped her small hand tightly and felt inexplicably touched. How would she not be touched?

Someone was telling her to protect herself and not to let herself get hurt.

She looked up and landed her gaze on his face. She suddenly had an impulse to tell him about her past so that he could clearly know who she was and what kind of person she was. She wanted to tell him the truth. It was equivalent to peeling herself off layer by layer and showing him the ugliest side of her.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Even so, she still wanted to tell him everything, urgently.

"Mr. Tucker, my full name is Caroline Jameson. I'm from the Jameson family." She plucked up her courage, closed her eyes, and shouted.

Yes, she shouted to him. Her heart was beating so fast now. she was afraid that she would never have the courage to tell him the truth if she didn't shout it out with all her strength.

She especially emphasized that she was from the Jameson family. Caroline gritted her teeth and decided that since she had said that, she might tell him everything. Therefore, she continued, "I was once..."

Antonio suddenly chuckled. The next moment, Caroline felt warmth on her lips. He quickly leaned back and then whispered into her ear in a gentle voice, "Of course, I know it. You're Caroline Jameson. Callie, no matter what you have done, it won't change the fact that I love you."

Caroline opened her eyes in confusion. What she saw was Antonio's sunny smile with his white teeth bared. Except for tease, there was also gentleness and love in his eyes. She was more dumbfounded and murmured, "Mr. Tucker..."

"Get off now. I will come to find you after I solve everything."
