母女的奴隶

Chapter 182 - Chapter 182: Harbor of Heart



The reason why Edwin noticed that something was wrong with Caroline’s leg wasn’t because she had exposed it. It was because he was careful and paid special attention to Caroline.

Before leaving the house in the morning, Edwin had paid special attention to Caroline’s outfit, so he remembered that she was wearing a pair of stiletto shoes.

The pair of shoes looked good, but they were obviously not suitable for fighting in a complex environment like the tea garden. In order to not restrict her movements, Caroline would definitely take off her shoes and fight barefooted.

The tea garden was full of soil, stones, and branches, which would definitely hurt her feet.

So, after he saw Caroline, he paid special attention to her feet. As expected, she changed into a pair of soft-soled shoes, which probably confirmed his guess.

Caroline saw that he was frowning and unhappy. She felt a little helpless. “I’ve said it before. I won’t take such a small wound to heart, so you don’t have to worry about me.”

Edwin grabbed her hand and placed it on his heart. “If you can make it more obedient and stop hurting for you, then I don’t think my heart will ache so easily anymore.”

Under the thin clothes, there was a distinct vibration. Edwin’s feelings seemed to be transmitted from the vibration to Caroline’s heart.

Caroline’s fingers curled up subconsciously. “Sorry.”

She pursed her lips and said honestly, “On this matter, we clearly have a difference in opinion. I don’t seem to have any way to make you not worry about me, but for some reason, I think you might have guessed the reason for some things, so I can’t stop my risky steps.”

Caroline looked into Edwin’s eyes. “Do you understand what I mean?”

Edwin nodded. “Yes, I think I understand. So, I won’t stop you from doing what you want to do.” But just like he said, he couldn’t control his heart and stop it from worrying about Caroline.

Edwin sighed and reached out to pull Caroline into his arms. “But I don’t think this is contradictory to my desire to take care of you.”

Caroline hesitated for a moment, but she still hugged him back. She said hesitantly, “Maybe the ‘take care’ that you’re talking about and the ‘take care’ that I understand are different.”

She let go of Edwin and put some distance between them. “To me, you’re enough to take care of me now.”

“But I feel like I’ve done nothing for you,” said Edwin with a bitter smile.

“But I’m the one who’s going to bear with your feelings, aren’t I?” Caroline reached out and pinched his earlobe. Her fingers went through his hair and she said in a domineering tone, “That’s why I should be the judge. There are some things that you might not think are important, but I’ll be happy if you do it. That’s enough. There are some things that I don’t need, but if you do it, I’ll feel quite burdened.”

Edwin’s head rubbed against her palm twice, but his tone was a little disappointed. “So you don’t want me to be too intimate with you?”

“I didn’t mean it that way.” Caroline smiled and stood on her tiptoes to kiss him. “Look, I’m not against intimate actions with you. I just feel that sometimes, you’re too meticulous in taking care of me, and I’m not used to it.” Caroline’s eyes flashed with nostalgia. Then, she said seriously, “Also, some things can be addictive. I don’t want to become someone who is too dependent on others.”

Regardless of whether it was the past Luo Ling or the present Caroline, the burden on her shoulders did not allow her to be too weak.

After listening to her words, Edwin didn’t feel angry or disappointed. Instead, he felt even more tender toward her. “Caroline, did you know that you’re a person of flesh and blood? You’re not made of steel. You’ll feel tired, and you’ll occasionally find a place to lean on and rest.”

Caroline understood what he meant. “So I have you now.”

“No, it’s not enough.” Edwin shook her hand. “It’s far from enough. I hope that I’m not just a passerby who occasionally appears by your side. I want to become the harbor of your heart.”

A look of surprise and confusion flashed across Caroline’s face.. She muttered, “The harbor of my heart?”
