Chapter 214 Confused
Caroline wasn’t surprised. This was pretty much what she’d expected.
Her big, round eyes fixed on Blake, eager to hear what his connection to the Sherwoods was.
Thinking back, this was the first time she truly wanted to know more about him.
“Actually, I’m-” Blake was about to reveal his identity when a shout nearby cut him off.
“Caroline?”
Caroline and Blake both turned toward the voice.

Miguel was walking over, and Caroline frowned slightly. What a small world, running into a Somerton even at a coffee shop.
Miguel walked up to them, looked at Caroline, then at Blake, “Mind if I sit here?”
Blake replied coldly, “Go ahead.”
Caroline watched Miguel sit opposite her and asked, “What brings you here all of a sudden? Are you looking for me?”
She remembered Miguel didn’t really like coffee and rarely came to cafes. Running into him today felt more than coincidental.
“I was actually planning to visit your restaurant, but I spotted you here at the coffee shop, so I just came in,” Miguel said, then looked at Blake and politely asked, “Hope I’m not interrupting your conversation?”
Blake replied, “It’s no problem.”
Caroline ignored the question, her expression cold as she asked Miguel, “What do you want?”
Miguel glanced at Blake a few times, clearly hesitant to speak.
Blake got it instantly and said, “Why don’t you two talk? I’ve got some things to take care of.”
Miguel smiled at him, but before he could respond, Caroline interjected, “We just arrived, and I said I’d treat you to coffee today. You can’t leave!”
Then she glanced at Miguel. “He’s not an outsider, so just say it.”
Not an outsider. Those few simple words/warmed Blake’s heart.
But Miguel wasn’t so pleased. He wondered when Caroline had gotten so close to this doctor.
Isn’t she with Mr. Sherwood?
She should keep her distance from other men. Doesn’t she get that?

Ignoring Blake, Miguel warned her, “It’s fine to value friendship, but you need to remember you’re the Sherwood Group CEO’s girlfriend now. You should have boundaries and keep your distance from other men, got it?”
He originally just wanted to talk to Caroline about expanding the restaurant. But as soon as he got to the

restaurant, Liam called and said Caroline might actually be the Sherwood Group CEO’s official girlfriend, confirmed by the Sherwoods‘ heir himself.
This was way more important than the restaurant. He had to make sure Caroline held onto this unexpected fortune.
“Who said I’m the Sherwood Group CEO’s girlfriend?” Caroline knew he’d probably heard it from Edwin and Liam. She looked at him sternly. “Can’t you stop believing every rumor? I’ll say it again. I don’t even know the Sherwood Group CEO!”
She’d already explained this to Edwin and Liam that day, yet Miguel still believed it.
She was used to being misunderstood and too tired to keep explaining.
But this was different. She’d heard the Sherwood Group CEO was cold and reclusive, not someone to mess with.
If this misunderstanding reached his ears, she’d be in serious trouble.
Even if Blake had ties to the Sherwoods, he probably couldn’t save her.
People at the top of the pyramid were dangerous. It was best to just avoid him.
Miguel wouldn’t believe her. “Stop hiding it. Mr. Sherwood himself admitted you’re his fiancée.”
Caroline stiffened, shocked as if she’d heard the most unbelievable thing.
Miguel didn’t seem to be lying, but she’d never met the Sherwoods‘ heir and didn’t e looked like. Why would he call me his fiancée?

Could it be someone with the same name?
She lowered her eyes, lost in thought, unaware that Blake had been watching her.
Blake guessed Miguel’s claim came from Linden because Linden did say Caroline was his future wife at the hotel yesterday.
Seeing her silence, Miguel took it as confon and smiled. “You know, this is a great thing. Why hide it?
Mom passed away early, you’ve suffered all these years. Luckily, God blessed you with a great marriage. You must cherish it!”
