Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Near and Far (5)

He hasn’t received a reply from his grandmother so far. Given her ability, it shouldn’t take her more than 24 hours to check into such a matter. That’s why he didn’t ask Xavier Estrada to investigate.

So, the only possibility for his grandmother not replying by now is that the child in Carolline Ruiz’s belly really has nothing to do with him. Otherwise, his grandmother would be overjoyed.

Bryan Hawkins suddenly felt dazed. For a moment, he couldn’t understand what he had done to drive Carolline away so suddenly, making her fall into the arms of another man.

Andy Aguirre seemed to notice that someone was staring at him. He turned and met Bryan Hawkins’ gaze. Having seen him on television many times, he chuckled, "Mr. Hawkins, what a coincidence."

"Dr. Aguirre," Bryan Hawkins responded, his tone indifferent and apathetic.

"Eating here?" Andy raised his eyebrow. He had once thought that, for Carolline’s sake, he would question Bryan Hawkins thoroughly. But now, he discarded that idea. Since Carolline had calmly decided to be a single mother, why should he tell her and the child’s matters to the man in front of him?

Of course, perhaps one day this man would learn about Carolline and the child. He believed that Carolline would face the situation rationally, calmly handle it.

"....." Bryan Hawkins was somewhat speechless. This was a restroom; did he need to eat in a restroom?

He turned and headed towards the Men’s Restroom, ignoring Andy Aguirre; Andy Aguirre only glanced at him and then continued to wait for Carolline.

Andy Aguirre’s conversation with Bryan Hawkins wasn’t deliberately hushed, and Carolline heard it from inside. As she was urinating, the baby in her belly impulsively kicked her - perhaps it, like her, had heard its father’s voice and felt excited.

Carolline took her time, but the baby was very active, almost fiercely wriggling and turning in her belly. She had no choice but to reach out and gently comfort it.

As Carolline was washing her hands, Joyce Lopez came in. Seeing Carolline, she smiled and said, "Carolline, you’re so lucky. Your husband really dotes on you, even accompanying you when you go to the restroom."

"Your future husband will do the same," Carolline replied, turning to leave.

Joyce didn’t say anything and went into a private room.

When approaching the door, Carolline hesitated for a few steps, and finally gritted her teeth. Seeing only Andy Aguirre standing at the entrance, she let out a slight sigh of relief, but coincidentally, Bryan Hawkins came out of the Men’s Restroom.

The two stood face to face, looking at each other.

It had been more than half a year since they last met. Carolline missed him. In front of him, she always seemed to be helpless. But in this environment, at this moment, what was there between them left to say?

In front of Andy Aguirre, she couldn’t go up to him and embrace him, especially since Joyce Lopez was inside.

After more than half a year, the distance between them had shortened, but at this very moment, it had grown.

"Brother Bryan, you’re here too?" Joyce emerged, breaking the standoff between the three. In contrast to Carolline, she boldly walked up to Bryan Hawkins. "My family is having dinner here; are you here for some business?"

"Yes, with some friends," Bryan Hawkins replied, shifting his gaze away from her, glancing at Joyce. "Is your whole family here?"

By all rights, he should have visited the Lopez Family. After all, the relationship between the Lopez Family and his own was very good. No matter why the Lopez Family was having a gathering here, since Joyce had run into him, he should have visited them.
