I’m Sorry But I Love You

Chapter 34

Without looking at Anderson’s expression, Catherine pulled his bowl back in front of him.

Anderson frowned. He wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say. In the past, Catherine was the one who was talking at the table.

Now she lowered her head, drinking the porridge with the full concentration. Others who didn’t know might think that she was eating delicacies of every kind.

“Don’t you want to say something?” Anderson spoke first finally. Catherine looked up and stared at him quietly. “No.” For so many times in the past, she used to hope that he could have a meal with her. Now he did it, but she no longer needed it.

She didn’t need the late accompany at all.

Anderson kept his promise. He asked the driver to send Sophia and Lincoln to Ziting Villa.

Sophia hadn’t seen Catherine for so many days. As soon as she saw Catherine, she threw herself into her mother’s arms. With her watery eyes on Catherine, she said, “Mommy, I miss you so much!”

“I miss you, too, my dear.” Catherine kissed her forehead lovingly. “Have you eaten well when I’m not with you?” “Yes, I have. I like the food cooked by the maid in Great-Grandma’s house.”

Knowing that she had been eaten well, Catherine felt relieved. Looking at Lincoln who was sitting next to her, she asked, “Hey, little boy. Why are you in a daze?”

Lincoln shook his head. He held Catherine’s arm dearly. His ink-black eyes with long eyelashes glued on the scar on her wrist. “Mommy, does it still hurt?”

The wound had scabbed over long ago. Most of the scab had fallen, exposing the pink scar. Catherine pulled her sleeve to cover the scar. Then she shook her head and answered, “Nope, it doesn’t.”

They both were leaning against each other together. Sitting aside, Anderson browsed on his cell phone as if he was an outsider. He could never get into such a harmonious scene.

Sophia and Lincoln only stayed in Ziting Villa for a short while before being sent back to the Clark family’s house. Catherine reluctantly watched the car in which Sophia and Lincoln were sitting disappear in the darkness of the night. Seeing that she looked as if she was out of her mind, Anderson frowned and said, “Let’s go back.”

With cold brows and eyes, Catherine looked at Anderson. “Mr. Clark, will you still sleep with me today? If not, I’m going home. If so, please hurry up.”

The way she looked while speaking seemed as if they were doing some kind of cheap trade. A fury surged inside Anderson’s heart, but he had nowhere to vent his anger. She thought that he had taken her in at Ziting Villa just because he wanted to do that kind of thing, didn’t she?

Anderson burst into ironic laughter because of too much anger, “You can’t wait to do it, can you? Catherine Johnson, you are still that cheap.”

Catherine felt a pang in her heart. However, there was a smile on her enchanting face, emanating her charm. “Yeah, you are right, Mr. Clark. This is not the first day that you know me, is it?”

There would be no use if she explained it again. She’d rather not care about anything.

“You are so shameless. I’m not interested to fuck you at all.” After finishing his words, Anderson turned around and walked into the villa.

Catherine stood motionlessly at the spot, watching his receding back. Suddenly, she laughed out ironically. Under such attitude of Anderson, the bodyguards at the gate didn’t stop Catherine from going back home.

Since Ziting Villa was located in the villa community, it was difficult for her to hail a taxi. She had to call a taxi online, waiting for the car at the roadside.

Before the car arrived, Sienna’s car showed up.

When Sienna saw Catherine, she got off from the sports car with a smile. She walked to Catherine arrogantly. “You are kicked out, aren’t you?”

Sienna could still remember that Catherine broke her plan. Her delicate face was full of hatred. “Mr. Clark disgusts you the most, which is well-known in our circle. How could you still cling to him? You are so cheap!”

Catherine felt hurt by her verbal abuse. Indeed, the whole circle knew that Anderson hated her very much.

She acted as if she didn’t care about it all. Instead, she looked at Sienna with a smile. “He does hate me the most, but I’m the only one who got into the household register of the Clark family.”

Sienna looked angry. She glared at Catherine with fury. “Mr. Clark has already divorced you!”

“I once owned him. It is better than never,” said Catherine. Right then, the car she called had arrived. Catherine got in the car.

Behind the car window, she watched Sienna walk into Anderson’s villa. Although she had expected such a scene already, she still couldn’t help feeling heartbreaking. She guessed that the body lotion must belong to Sienna. The perfume scent on her body was even the rose scent.

No matter the age or the family background, they were a perfect match.

After going back to her rented apartment, Catherine took out two cans of beer from the fridge while feeling dizzy. After gulping it down, she lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

The apartment was pretty quiet. She couldn’t hear Sophia’s voice that complaining that she didn’t want to go to school. And nor there was no voice that Lincoln taught Sophia to do her homework.

It was as quiet as a graveyard, in which she was left alone. Lost in thought, Catherine didn’t fall asleep until midnight. When she woke up in the morning the next day, it was already noon.

She pulled back the curtain. It was sunny outside. Catherine swore to herself that she couldn’t continue being so dispirited any longer.

However, so far the incident online had just calmed down a bit. She definitely couldn’t update her comics. Once she couldn’t find the person who had injected her, she would never shake off the dirty reputation for a day.

It was such a wicked thing.

She couldn’t be forgiven at all. She stared at the graphics tablet blankly. When she logged in to the working account, she saw the message left by Lydia. “Your incident is a wicked one. Our website definitely wouldn’t allow you to update your comics, but we wouldn’t delete them.”

“Please don’t worry about the copyright of the cinematographic work. It’s under development now. Simon also asked me to inform you that he would ask the new editor to maintain the essence of the script. It wouldn’t be changed hugely.”

The messages were sent to her two days ago. Catherine replied to Lydia’s message.

She was already quite happy with the current situation.

She drew a few lines on the graphics tablet at random. It wasn’t in a shape. When she was feeling irritated, Aurora called her. “Hi, Catherine. Are you busy?”

“Not really.” She didn’t have a job, and nor were her children with her. She had nothing to be busy with.

Upon hearing it, Aurora was quite excited. “Catherine, which community are you living in now? I’ll go pick you up. Let’s hang out. Stop thinking about those jerks.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Aurora’s voice was full of pride and vividness. Catherine listened to her, her mood becoming much better.

She agreed to Aurora’s invitation. After simply straightening herself up, she put on some makeup. Aurora called her again telling her that she was almost there. Catherine picked up her bag and went downstairs.

As soon as she saw Catherine, Aurora pounced at her. “My goodness! Catherine, you look gorgeous! If I had your appearance and figure, I wouldn’t care about any man. If one doesn’t work, I’ll change to target at another one!”

Catherine burst into laughter. “You are so exaggerating!”

“Catherine, please don’t stick on Anderson any longer. I heard that he slept with Sienna White last night, and this morning Sophia and Lincoln saw it.”

Catherine was taken aback. “What did you say?” Knowing that she shouldn’t have said so, Aurora covered her mouth.

“Did Sophia and Lincoln see Sienna stay with Anderson in the same room?” Her voice was trembling slightly. Lincoln was a smart boy, and probably he had already known the affair between Anderson and Sienna.

Aurora nodded. She whispered, “I also heard it from my brother at random. I thought you’ve known it, and you might feel quite sad. That’s why I wanted to ask you out for fun.”
