Chapter 183
This unexpected event surprised Caroline greatly.
This news article was clearly a press release provided by the news agency to the media. With so many media outlets reprinting it, it was definitely arranged.
It was mainly used to promote or clarify facts.
The key to this type of news was that all media outlets needed to present a unified perspective, free of controversy. When multiple media outlets reported the same viewpoint, it meant the news agency had distributed a press release. As a result, netizens believed the news was true because everyone was reporting it.
But the so-called truth was really just the 'truth' that the person writing the press release wanted people to believe. The actual situation might have been very different.
However, this was not important. The so-called truth in the world was just the version that most people chose to believe.
After reading this press release provided by the news agency, Caroline felt relieved. The media's ability to change people's perceptions was really powerful. A few hours ago, she was the target of everyone's scorn, but now she suddenly gained a lot of support.
She lay on the bed, and maybe because she was relaxed, she fell asleep without realizing it.
At this moment, someone rang the doorbell. Caroline got up and looked through the peephole; it was the service staff.
After opening the door, two kids suddenly rushed out, "Mommy!"
Caroline was stunned, not expecting Ryan and Sophie to really be brought to the hotel.
"Mommy missed you so much." She hugged them both, and tears immediately welled up.
"Mommy, we missed you too. Are you okay?" Sophie thoughtfully wiped her tears.
"Mommy is fine. Let's go inside."
Once inside the room, Sophie immediately started exploring everywhere, as lively as ever.
Ryan was much calmer. He snuggled up to Caroline. "Mommy, what exactly happened?"
"Nothing, Mommy is fine."
"Why can't we go back to Sarah's house and meet at the hotel?" Ryan was too smart; nothing could be hidden from him.
Caroline thought for a moment. "There are some things, but nothing major."
"Daddy said you have a boyfriend." Ryan said timidly.
Caroline thought, 'Nick is such a jerk! How dare he talk about such topics with kids?'
"Don't listen to his nonsense. There are some misunderstandings, but he got it wrong."
At this moment, Sophie came over and asked, "Mommy, did you find a boyfriend?"
Caroline pinched her chubby little face. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Sophie giggled and dodged. "Mommy is shy. You must be dating someone!"
"Sophia, don't talk nonsense!" Caroline rarely called her in this serious tone.
Sophie stuck out her tongue. "It's not me who said it. But if Mommy really found a boyfriend, what about Daddy?"
Ryan was also waiting to hear Caroline's answer.
"There's no such thing! Don't listen to Nick's crazy talk; he's out of his mind."
Sophie muttered, "Mommy is cursing."
Nick especially doted on Sophie and never restricted her sweets, so Sophie liked him a lot. Hearing Caroline curse Nick, she felt indignant for him.
Seeing this, Caroline felt she shouldn't curse in front of the kids. "He's really talking nonsense. There's no such thing."
"I believe Mommy." Ryan nodded.
"Good boy!" Caroline lovingly hugged him.
"I'm also good." Sophie, afraid of losing favor, quickly snuggled up and said coquettishly.
"What did you just say?" Caroline glanced at her.
Sophie responded cleverly, "I said the wrong thing. Mommy is right; Daddy is wrong!"
Caroline laughed and hugged her.
"Mommy, when are we going home?" Ryan asked.
"How about staying at the Kennedy Manor?" Caroline was also concerned about this.
"Great, there are lots of delicious things." Sophie said contentedly.
"You little foodie!" Then Caroline turned to Ryan "What about you? Can you adapt?"
"It's indeed nice, but we want to live with Mommy more," Ryan replied.
Hearing this, Caroline felt very sad.
"Mommy is very busy these days, and Sarah doesn't have time either. You stay at the Kennedy Manor for a while, and when I get through this, I'll definitely bring you back, okay?"
Sophie pouted, "Why don't you just move into the Kennedy Manor? It's really nice there."
This matter was complicated, and Caroline couldn't explain it clearly.
"Mommy is not used to living there. But I promise, I'll bring you back as soon as possible," Caroline replied.
"I believe Mommy." Ryan said seriously.
"I also believe Mommy!" Sophie, afraid of losing favor, echoed.
"Good kids!" Caroline's mood improved again.
"But, Mommy, I'm hungry." Sophie rubbed her little tummy.
Hearing her say this, Caroline realized she was also a bit hungry.
The service staff said there was butler service here, and they could order food to be delivered directly.
"What do you want to eat?" she asked Sophie.
"I want to go to the restaurant to see, then decide what to eat."
Sophie was very clever, knowing that high-end hotel restaurants must have a lot of delicious food.
"Let's not go to the restaurant. Just have some food delivered to the room."
"No, I want to go to the restaurant and choose for myself." Sophie insisted.
"Sophia, be good." Ryan advised from the side.
Caroline, seeing Sophie's aggrieved expression, agreed, "Okay, let's go to the restaurant then."
"Great!" Sophie clapped and jumped with joy.
