BookToReadChapter 430:
It had beca go-to spot for group hangouts, holding a special place in the memories of both Carrie and
Daxton. Returning here made Carrie feel a wave of nostalgia, stirring thoughts of just how much thad
changed things.
Reflecting on the flashy yet shallow spot she had chosen earlier, she realized she might have unknowingly
adopted shabits of the wealthy.
Out of the handful of people she called friends, Daxton stood apart. He had been her truest friend in her younger
years, now her lifesaver, and even, in a way, family.
She couldn't shake the feeling that in exchange for ssincerity, she had gained a polished kind of social
poise.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“This place is such a hit now,” Daxton chuckled lightly as he unfastened his seatbelt. “I had to book it a day
ahead.”
Stepping out of the car, Carrie wasn't paying attention and nearly stumbled into a hole in the ground. Daxton’s
hand shot out to steady her, and before she knew it, she was leaning slightly against him.
Like the gentleman he was, he helped her regain her balance and let go instantly. “Watch your step,” he
murmured.
He walked over to secure a warning sign, tying it to a nearby tree with a piece of rope.
Carrie's eyes landed on the displaced slab, which had left a gaping hole in the ground.
“Shouldn’t we just move the slab back?” she suggested casually.
Daxton cleaned his hands with a wet wipe before replying calmly, “This thing's heavy.”
“It's not the kind of slab a kid could shift for fun. It has handles, like a manhole cover, and | noticed pipes
underneath, so it’s probably for maintenance. If someone's working down there, putting it back could cause
problems.”
Carrie smiled at him. “You're always so considerate, Daxton.”
Kristopher was thorough and methodical, even more so than Carrie, but he never took the tto explain things
to her as gently as Daxton did. It amazed her how different people’s personalities could be.
Carrie had always been drawn to kind souls. She adored the sweet, selfless second leads in romance s, yet
somehow, she’d fallen for someone who was distant and full of pride.
Not far away, inside a parked RV, Lise scrolled through candid photos on her phone, a frosty, detached smile
curling on her lips.
Initially, it was Soren, followed by Asher, and now a new face had appeared. Lise found Carrie increasingly in the
company of men.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKristopher might tolerate a couple of men around her, but could he really put up with this forever? It seemed
unlikely that a man of his stature would accept being overshadowed.
After pondering briefly, Lise sent Kristopher a Whatmessage, saying, “Kristopher, are you currently with Ms.
Campbell? | just walked by someone who looked remarkably like her.”
She picked out sparticularly provocative photos from her collection and sent them to him.
Anticipating the between Kristopher and Carrie, Lise couldn't help but feel a thrill.
