Do they think that I’m a pushover?” Caroline wondered.
Since she decided to marry into the Ziegler family, Caroline had already done a background check on them long ago.
By using her beauty, Carmen successfully seduced David, Quintin’s father.
However, no one knew about how dark Carmen’s past was.
As of that moment, Caroline chose not to expose Carmen, as she would be seeing them often in the future. However, if the woman dared to provoke Caroline again, she couldn’t guarantee that she would keep Carmen’s past a secret any longer.
Carmen was stunned by Caroline’s words. Never would she expect that the latter would say such a thing.
The more Carmen thought about it, the more horrified she felt. Now, she was well aware that Caroline wasn’t an easy person to handle.
“Could it be that Lydia told her something before? Does she know about my past? How much does this woman know about me? If that is the case, then she knows too much. I have to find a way to shut her up!” Carmen thought to herself.
“How dare you! You seriously are sharp-tongued. Sav, let’s go!” Carmen huffed.
Once she finished her words, she then walked out of the mansion. Savannali glared viciously at Caroline as well before trailing after Carmen.
Susan, who had witnessed the whole scene, had thought there was finally someone who would be able to deal with those devils.
After chasing away the uninvited guests, Caroline carried her son and went upstairs. “Leo, do you want to sleep with me tonight?”
Leon nodded in response.
“Then, can you play by yourself for a while? I still have to bathe Daddy. When I finish, I’ll come and find you. All right?”
At that, Leon nodded in response again. He could finally sleep with Caroline that night, which he had never been able to do before.
After sending Leon to the children’s room, Caroline returned to the master bedroom. When he heard the sound of footsteps, Quintin asked, “Are they gone?”
“Yeah. Sav is gone, too. Do you want me to call her back so you can have a good chat?” Caroline teased.
“Don’t you dare! Stop trying to be self-righteous. Do you hear me?”
There wasn’t even anything going on between Quintin and Savannah. It was just that Savannah’s love had been one-sided since the beginning.
“Fine!”
Caroline then turned around and left. When Quintin heard that her footsteps were getting further away, he called out to her, “Hey! Where are you going?”
“Where I’m going is none of your business!”
When he heard this, Quintin was rendered speechless. “This woman is always being so cynical. She is even more hot-tempered than me! God damn it!” he fumed inwardly.
He even suspected that they had intentionally sent Caroline to torture him.
After Caroline snapped at Quintin, she returned a few moments later with a basin of hot water. She also brought a fresh towel.
Upon hearing the swishing sounds of water, Quintin asked, “What are you going to do?”
At his question, Caroline didn’t reply. Instead, she covered his face with the hot towel. “Hey. You.” Quintin’s words got muffled by the towel.
Caroline started to wipe his face for him. However, she was not gentle, and her actions were even rough.
Although she was helping him wipe his face, it seemed as if she was wiping a table instead and was even doing it with
resentment.
“What do you mean by hey? Do I not have a name?” Caroline snapped as she threw the towel back into the basin.
“Caroline! Are you here to take care of me or abuse me?” Quintin protested in dissatisfaction.
“What do you think? Your life is in my hands now. You’d better behave yourself”
As she said that, Caroline then wiped his arms for him. Quintin was enraged by her words. “This woman sure is fierce, and

she even stole my linel” he seethed inwardly.
However, he didn’t want to argue with a lady and changed the topic. “What did you talk about with the others downstairs?”
Quintin could vaguely hear voices from downstairs just now, but not clearly.
“Sav wanted to stay here and take care of you, and your stepmother told me to leave tomorrow.”
When he heard this, Quintin felt his chest tighten. “What did you say?” He couldn’t help but question.
“I agreed to it!”
Caroline intentionally did that to see how Quintin would respond. “Don’t you hate me? So, I just agreed to it. Tomorrow, I’ll leave the Ziegler residence, and she’ll be the one taking care of you! I’m sure Sav is gentler and more understanding than I am, and she won’t abuse you!”
Upon hearing her words, Quintin was infuriated, and a trace of anger appeared on his face.
“I don’t want her to take care of me! Caroline, you’ve already signed an agreement with me. If I don’t recover, you can forget. bout leaving!”
When she saw him fly into a rage, Caroline responded, “It seems like you have the potential for being mistreated! Finel Since I’ve already signed the agreement, I’ll take full responsibility for taking care of you. As long as you don’t recover, I won’t leave, and no one can try to chase me away.”
After finishing her words, she smirked and asked, “But aren’t you afraid I would mistreat you if I were to continue staying here?”
“I’d like to see you try!” Quintin threatened fiercely.
However, there was nothing else that he could do except tolerate her behavior. He would find a way to get back at her after he recovered.
“Just you wait!” Quintin snarled inwardly.
“Why would I ever dare to abuse someone like you?” Caroline said as she patted his handsome face.
At this. Quintin’s face turned as dark as thunder, and fury built up within him. “How dare she slap my face!” he fumed inwardly.
Quintin grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward him all of a sudden. Caroline was caught off guard and stumbled toward
him.
Her lips almost pressed against him from the impact, causing Caroline to widen her eyes in shock. Just as she was about to push herself off, he said, “If you ever dare to hit my face again, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
“Got it.”
Caroline was only teasing him and didn’t even use much force. After breaking free from his grasp, she continued helping him wipe his body.
She lifted the blanket and reached out to help him unbutton his shirt. However, Quintin suddenly grabbed her hand and asked anxiously, “What are you trying to do?”
“I need to remove your clothes to help wipe your body.”
“Don’t you dare touch me!” Quintin ordered.
“If I don’t touch you, how am I supposed to clean you? Can’t you smell how badly you stink? Didn’t you know that you’ll get bedsores if you lie in bed for a long time without cleaning your body?”
After listening to Caroline’s explanation, Quintin fell silent momentarily. He then propped himself up with his hands with much difficulty.
“Tll take them off myself”
He despised having others touch his body.
“Fine. Do it yourself, then.”
When Caroline was done wringing the towel dry and turned around, she saw that he had already removed his shirt to reveal his firm chest muscles and sculpted abs.
As she saw this, she couldn’t deny that Quintin had a body that others admired. When he wore a suit, his handsomeness was simply unrivaled. It was no wonder he was the ideal life partner for thousands of women, and he was also the man of their dreams.
Although Caroline had seen his sculpted upper body before, she never had any extraordinary feelings toward it.
However, for some strange reason, she couldn’t help thinking of those three nights five years ago now that she had seen his body. Memories of how wild he was when they were with each other flashed across her mind.

As she thought about this, she felt her heart beating wildly, and her cheeks started to flush.
Although Quintin couldn’t see her, he could still sense that the woman before him was staring lustfully at him at that
moment.
“Have you stared enough? Haven’t you seen a man’s body before?”
There was a hint of annoyance and displeasure in his tone.
Caroline returned to her senses and instantly averted her gaze at his words. She took a deep breath and tried clearing her mind of all her thoughts.
After calming herself down, she walked up to him and began to wipe his body.
Her soft, smooth hands would unintentionally brush past his skin, making Quintin uncomfortable. His muscles tensed up at this.
“Apart from the three nights I’ve spent with Macy, no other woman had ever touched my body!” he thought.
Because of that, Caroline’s touch made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
However, there was nothing else that he could do except bear with it and hope that she would finish wiping him soon.
After wiping the front, she then wiped his back. When she finished thoroughly brushing him twice, she helped him get changed into a set of clean pajamas and said. “You can lie down now.”
After Quintin lay down, Caroline then pulled the blankets down. Upon feeling her hands on his belt, Quintin grabbed her hand again. “What are you going to do this time?”
“I have to wipe your lower body, tool”
