It never occurred to Caroline that the man who had helped her the other day still had a kinship with her ex-lover.
"Cannot be. William never told me anything" Caroline said.
Shirley could only be speechless looking at the drama in front of her. Apparently the circle of Caroline's life has never been far from the Austin family.
"Of course he never told me. His life is always assured. Different me. Ah, you don't need to know my life" he said.
Caroline felt uncomfortable after meeting him. There's an unpleasant feeling about Lewis. He remembered the words of his late mother.
Is this what my mom meant the other day?
"Oh yeah, I just want to know. What special William in your eyes. It seems you're having a hard time taking it off." Lewis was deliberately fishing for the girl.
"Sorry, Mr. Lewis. You don't need to know my business" he replied. "Shirley, let's go home! Is it done eating?"
"Yes, Carol."
"Yes, let's go!" take Caroline.
Actually Lewis wants to avenge the girl. However, upon rethink, the girl was already hurt by the whereabouts of his wife William. From there Lewis finally decided not to continue his plan. Caroline had nothing to do with William.
Caroline had just come out of the restaurant feeling very disturbed after meeting Lewis. Shirley did not dare to ask him anything.
"Shirley, all this time I never thought that Lewis Augustine was William's cousin." Caroline's not driving too fast.
"Ehm, you didn't realize it?" ask Shirley.
"I thought he just happened to look alike. Actually there was something that had stuck in my mind about the decoration of his office. About eighty percent is very similar to Mr. Darius' room."
Caroline tried to remember it again. What happened at that time? Caroline finally found out Lewis's intention to accept her work at the time.
"I just realized, Shirley. It seemed like she was willing to avenge William through me, but my mother's hunt warned me. After that, my mother died."
Shirley closed her mouth in disbelief. He sees Caroline's life as perfect and seems to be almost an instrument of revenge by others.
"Then, what's your goal now? Are you still waiting for reassurance from Mr. William and plunging you into Mr. Lewis's vengeance?"
Shirley's words have a point. He hesitated to go back to William. In addition to not getting the blessing of her mother, Caroline also has not received certainty from William.
"I don't know, Shirley." That's all it can tell.
"Carol, please rethink. Wouldn't it be more complicated if you were to unite with William?"
Caroline took a deep breath and then exhaled. He began to record anyone who would be a barrier to union with William. Lavina, Roseanne, Jack, and Lewis. Fighting Lavina requires extra strength. He must have been blocking his son's plan.
"I can't decide anything, Shirley. I'll have to talk to William again if I get a chance."
"Maybe it's the best decision. Don't forget to tell me about your meeting with Lewis" Shirley suggested.
"Hemm, I'm actually getting suspicious of you, Shirley."
"Huh, suspect how? Did I make a mistake?"
Caroline smiled. "That's not what it means, Shirley. The longer you're fit to be my relationship advisor with William."
"Ck, you could have," joked Shirley.
Along the way they were joking. Thinking about the complexity of life will never end.
...***...
The Austin Mansion was very quiet. Lavina continues to take care of Jack, her sick son. The woman continued to be beside him.
"Jack, how you doing, son?" ask Lavina.
"Lumayan, Ma. When can I walk as usual? I feel so tired of being in the room, Ma."
Since Jack suffered a broken bone and must always be in a wheelchair, his freedom began to be limited. He never went out of the mansion. His status as Casanova responsibility is no longer attached to him. He is now a troublesome disabled man.
"No, Ma. Ma, can I ask you something?"
"Tell me, baby!"
"Ma, let me marry Caroline, please" Jack said.
The deg!
Lavina felt like she wanted to plunge to the bottom of the ravine. He had to give a reason especially to his son.
"Jack, listen to Mama. Let alone you, Mama also disagrees that William married Caroline. Why are you forcing Mama to agree?" lavina.
There is a strong reason for Lavina's rejection of Caroline. However, it was not yet time for them to know the truth. Not for the moment. Lavina was really in a dilemma of having to use a way especially so that all her sons would not chase after the girl.
"Ma, if the reason is never clear, neither I nor William will continue to pursue the girl. With or without Mom's consent" Jack threatened.
"Jack, please listen to Mama. William and you are the power of Mama. If one of you gets married to Caroline, you'll lose your mother forever. Remember that!" threaten her. There is no other way but to say the most excruciating thing.
Jack remained silent. She actually understood his mother's words, but she wanted to know the strong reason of her Mama. Several times trying to convey about his wedding plans, his mother always disagreed.
Jack wanted to ask his father, but he was always busy with his work. Since Jack's scandal with Roseanne was discovered, Lavina now focuses on looking after her son.
"Mama's going out first. Don't think about your plan anymore. Mama doesn't like it!" lavina.
The woman came out because she wanted to meet Mr. Darius. Coincidentally, I did not go to the office today. The middle-aged man was in his study. Every holiday, he rarely ever comes out of the room.
Tok to tok.
"Lake in!" answer to Mr. Darius.
Chequek!
Lavina deliberately wanted to see her husband. There's something important to talk about.
"What's up, Ma?"
"Pa, looks like we should talk. This is the problem of our two sons. Can I sit down?"
"Hemm, please. Don't be so formal to me."
"Jack just told me he wants to marry Caroline and I don't agree."
Lord Darius looked at his wife very closely. The man felt that there was a secret kept by his wife.
"Ck, you're so weird. William and Jack don't get your support. What's the matter between you and Caroline?"
"I-I just want them to find their soul mate with someone else."
"If it turns out Caroline is a match with our son, how? Are you going to reject that fate line?" lordship Darius.
"I'm the first person who never agrees. Go ahead if they want to hasten my departure. I won't stop it anymore."
"Well, I didn't expect you to be that brave, Ma. Your Tumben poses such a terrible threat. Is there a secret behind your rejection of Caroline? If it's about Veronica, forget it. He is also dead" explained Mr. Darius.
The deg!
Apparently the threat given to her son or her husband did not work. He even got some shocking news about Veronica. A person who has been cheated all his life.
