Chapter 471: Chapter 471: She is My Wife (7)

Carolline said this, just hoping that he wouldn’t take it seriously.

"So, you feel quite regretful that he didn’t confess his feelings to you?" Bryan Hawkins whispered into Carolline’s ear, playfully taking a bite.

The party was about to start, and the lights had dimmed, so his daring move wouldn’t be seen by others, except for those behind them, of course.

"You—" When did she ever say that she felt regretful? This man couldn’t just misinterpret her words, could he?

"Look at you, getting all worked up about a little joke from your husband. I still have some self-confidence left." Bryan Cooper laughed as he held both her hands in his.

Carolline looked at him sullenly.

It took her a while to change the topic, "There are so many people here, which means there are many kind-hearted people everywhere."

Carolline felt fortunate for the children who needed help, as so many people came to participate. In the main hall, there were nearly a thousand chairs, which were almost all filled.

"Yes, the Miller family’s influence is quite strong." Bryan Hawkins nodded in agreement, not wasting the efforts of that woman over so many years. For a long time, he had not seen Phoebe Miller. He really hadn’t expected that she would come to his territory without even meeting him before leaving in such haste.

Of course, he also didn’t know that Phoebe had actually been preparing so much for their meeting in a place unknown to him.

If Selina Fleming hadn’t told him, he wouldn’t have known about all those things.

But having this knowledge only made him nostalgic and didn’t stir any feelings for Phoebe. Nowadays, he felt fortunate to have met Carolline. Otherwise, his married life wouldn’t be as perfect as it was now.

Phoebe Miller was also a good woman, but after meeting Carolline, he didn’t think she would be a good wife, especially not one suited for him. If they had married, their life together might not have been as harmonious as it was now. Phoebe Miller was destined
to serve her ambitions, being a strong and capable woman. Besides, she wasn’t a submissive housewife.

They both had strong ambitions and a heightened sense of honor and responsibility toward their families. So, when Phoebe rejected marriage and proposed only dating, despite feeling regretfulness and pain, Bryan had rationally made the decision to let her go and put an end to their love affair after analyzing the situation for a day.

People like them were like two clusters of flame, burning at their brightest when they collided. However, after the passion fades, there would also be some discomfort.

Luckily, they never tried living together.

Phoebe’s current actions were because she felt that her ambitions had been realized, and the most regretful thing in her life was probably him. Hence, she wanted to reminisce or possibly reconcile. Nevertheless, for him, Phoebe’s role remained as his first love—an everlasting memory in his heart but no threat to Carolline’s current position.

He loved Carolline and Axel. He was very clear that his affection for Phoebe was now limited to just his past.

So, as for Selina’s message, he looked at it and then moved on. Of course, he would give Phoebe a call because it would be better to clear up some things now that he knew.

They would be friends for life, and whenever she needed his help, he would always be there willingly, but his side would always have Carolline, too. The two of them would help together in the future.
