StarNovelChapter 1068:
Satisfied that he had delivered the message he intended, Daxton didn’t try to stop them. “I really am sorry for
what happened earlier,” he said smoothly. “I wasn’t paying attention while talking to Carrie. Luckily, no one got
hurt. I'll cby another tto apologize properly.”
Jacob forced a courteous smile that didn’t reach his eyes.
“You're far too kind, Mr. Dury. I've still got a lot to learn,” said Daxton with a slight nod, though his mind was

Once the Hinks couple disappeared down the hall, he made his way back to the corridor, where Carrie stood
scanning the space like she was expecting someone. Her shoulders relaxed when she saw him coming, and a
faint smile tugged at her lips.
Closing the distance in a few brisk steps, Daxton spoke up before she could say a word. “Jacob took Kelsey for a

out freely in the following months of her pregnancy.
Looking away for a second, Daxton’s expression shifted, guilt flickering in his eyes. “I should've done more.
You're the one who nearly got hurt, and you're still covering for me. That's not fair to you.”
Not knowing what to say, Carrie just gave a half-smile and murmured, “It’s fine.”

Switching gears, Daxton tried to lighten the mood. “What do you think about catching a movie? This place is
crawling with germs. We can wait for a car outside.”
Carrie shook her head slowly. “I'm still feeling a little off. Maybe next time. | just want to lie down.”
“You're right. | didn’t think it through. You've had a rough day. Get srest,” said Daxton, nodding without a
moment's pause.
Watching how easily he accepted her answer, she felt a quiet comfort settle over her. Daxton always knew when
