“Yes, I do.
”
There was no doubt in his mind that he liked Karina.
“Karina is a good girl.
Try your best to win her over,” Haleigh encouraged, a look of relief reflected in her face.
“I will, Haleigh,” Carlow said softly.
“When Karina and I are together, we’ll make sure you’re well taken care of.
”
Haleigh’s eyes welled up with tears at his words.
“You are so kind,” she whispered.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
In that moment, Carlow truly seemed like her beloved nephew.
What she didn’t know was that he was exactly that.
Seeing Haleigh’s tears, Carlow felt a pang of guilt.
He desired to disclose his identity to her, but he understood that he had to keep it concealed until Aldrich’s downfall.
In the bathroom, Karina frowned as she realized her period had started.
Fortunately, her underwear was still clean.
She rummaged through the cab next to her but found no sanitary pads.
She cursed her forgetfulness.
Afterst month, she had meant to buy more but had been too busy.
Sighing in frustration, Karina cleaned herself up before stepping out of the bathroom.
“Haleigh, I’m going out for a bit,” she announced.
Haleigh looked up in surprise.
“Karina, why are you going out again? Where are you going?”
“I’m going to buy something,” Karina replied, grabbing her wallet and car keys as she headed towards the door.
“What are you going to buy? How about having dinner first?” Haleigh suggested.
“No, I have to buy it right away,” Karina said, bending down to change her shoes.
Seeing her difort and the way she clutched her belly, Carlow narrowed his eyes.
“Karina, is your period starting?” he asked, his tone both concerned and direct.
Karina blushed deeply at his words.
She didn’t know whether to feel embarrassed for herself or for him.
She nced at him, not saying a word, and picked up her bag, ready to leave.
“Wait a minute,” Carlow said, standing up and walking towards her.
