I’m Sorry But I Love You

Chapter 38

When she caught the glimpse of Anderson, the latter also saw her, his eyes as cold as the arctic ice. After casting a glance at him, Catherine looked away.

It was quite bright in the banquet hall. At this moment, it seemed that all lights in the hall had been focused on the man and the woman who just walked in.

People in the hall were all astonished when looking at Catherine. “Who is that lady next to Ethan James?”

“His girlfriend? She’s gorgeous, isn’t she?”

“But she looks familiar to Catherine Johnson.”

“Stop talking nonsense.”

“I’m not. I heard that Catherine Johnson had appeared again. Recently there’s a rumor about twins appearing in the Clark family, isn’t it? Catherine Johnson is their mother.”

“But why has she become Ethan James’ date? Doesn’t she like Mr. Clark the most?” “She has such characters. I wonder if those men are all blind.”

All the debutantes in the banquet hall were discussing with each other. However, Catherine wasn’t impacted at all. Taking Ethan’s arms, she curled up her red lips into a smile and walked to the old man sitting on the host’s seat.

She said gracefully, “Good evening, Grandpa Elliot. I wish you the best of luck and longevity.”

The old man was in his seventies. He was wearing a neat suit and a pair of glasses. Although he was aged, he looked gentle and cultivated. “Are you Cathy?”

In this circle, all the elders who knew her always called her in this way. Catherine nodded with a smile. “Yes, Grandpa Elliot. I

am.

Robert grabbed her hand and asked with concern, “I haven’t seen you for so many years. How have you been in the past years?”

The old man looked kind, his eyes full of warmth and love.

Catherine almost burst into tears.

This was the first time that someone cared about her and asked her how she had been in the past years without any evil intention.

She wanted to tell him that she had been quite suffering, not well at all.

However, she still answered with a smile, “I’ve been pretty well.”

“That’s good then. You should come to visit me often. Within all the girls, you are my favorite.”

Robert didn’t hide his favor for Catherine. As soon as he finished his words, the expressions of all the debutantes around him changed.

They looked over at Catherine with different meanings.

Sienna was standing aside, biting her lower lip. She couldn’t understand why a vicious woman that had been in jail could be favored by so many people.

After talking with Robert, Catherine followed Ethan around. When he was talking business with others, she was standing next to him like a beautiful background plate.

‘I didn’t expect that you would come here with Ethan James,” Antonio said to Catherine with a smile, holding a glass of champagne while approaching.

Catherine took a sip and smiled faintly without speaking.

Antonio didn’t ask her about anything else. He just asked her to have fun while smiling at her, and then he went to propose a toast with others.

Walking through the crowd, Catherine could always feel clearly that a frozen gaze was glued on her back. If the gaze could kill, she must have been dead thousands of times.

She knew where that frozen gaze came from. But she was not frightened at all.

She even felt somewhat joyful.

Realizing it, Catherine found herself a creep.

However, the real creep was not her obviously. After socializing with others, Ethan didn’t find it enough. He put his arm around Catherine’s waist and walked to Anderson with an evil smile at the corners of his mouth. He raised the champagne flute. “Mr. Clark, cheers!”

Anderson’s deep eyes didn’t fall on Ethan, but instead, he glinted at Catherine’s face.

Ethan smiled more widely. “Excuse me, Mr. Clark. Do you want my Cathy to propose a toast with you?”

‘My Cathy…’ Catherine reechoed his words in her mind.

She couldn’t help but get goosebumps all over her body. However, she had to remain smiling when facing Anderson. She raised her flute gracefully. “Mr. Clark, cheers!”

Then she gulped down the champagne without caring what Anderson would react.

Anderson was so angry that he laughed, his lips curling into a dangerous arc. Raising his hand, he gulped down the wine in his glass.

Joshua and Antonio were standing not far away. Joshua gaped at them. “Holy smoke! Catherine is so bold! Andy has just targeted Owen Torres and made him distant from Catherine. Who knows that she has hooked up with Ethan James.”

Antonio was also watching the fun, but he just smiled without speaking. Joshua didn’t get any response. He knocked Antonio’s elbow. “What are you thinking about, you old fox?” Antonio answered steadily, “I just want to see who would have the last laugh.”

Joshua shivered. Shaking his head, he said, “Sometimes I couldn’t understand what’s on Andy’s mind. I thought he likes Catherine, but he sent her to jail personally and always thought about Isabella.

“He also called me the other day, asking me how to retain women beside me. He said he wanted to keep Catherine beside him. I thought he would chase her properly. Unexpectedly, he had sex with Sienna White the next day, which was seen by Sophia and Lincoln.” Joshua rubbed his head. “I don’t understand at all. I’ve never heard that Andy has a crush on Sienna White.”

Hearing Joshua bitching about Anderson, Antonio smiled more deeply.

After sickening Anderson, Ethan took Catherine to leave the banquet in satisfaction. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

When he was leaving, he smiled at Anderson complacently while calling “my Cathy’ all the way. “Could you stop it?” Catherine asked him in a low voice after they were gone far. “You sickened me.” Hearing it, Ethan burst into laughter.

The scene looked quite intimate in Anderson’s eyes.

He pinched the empty champagne flute with strength, and it cracked.

Seeing that, Joshua, who was standing not far away from Anderson and watching the fun, felt so dangerous with the hair standing on the end.

After leaving the banquet, Ethan drove Catherine directly to the entrance of the community. He got off and leaned against the jeep, looking at Catherine like a gangster. “Don’t you want to invite me for a coffee upstairs?”

Since she knew that the man looked like a gangster but favored the girls’ comics, and he even set up a website particularly for them, Catherine didn’t fear him at all.

Her red lips parted. “No way.”

She turned him down ruthlessly.

Catherine turned around and was about to leave, but her wrist was grabbed by the man. He pressed her onto the Jeep. “You…” Catherine subconsciously wanted to push him away.

Ethan lowered his head and approached her. “Shush…”

He bent down his head with one hand grabbing her head. Before touching her lips, his head moved a bit without approaching her closer.

Catherine was stunned. Instantly she realized that this man was acting, and she wondered to whom he was showing. It must be Anderson.

Catherine figured it out in an instant. She stared at Ethan with her cold eyes.

Seeing her expression, Ethan smiled deeply. “You are so adorable.”

“You are so abnormal,” Catherine retorted.

Thinking it was time to end the show, Ethan let go of Catherine in satisfaction.

As soon as Catherine arrived home and poured a glass of water, she turned on the cell phone. It rang immediately. She knew who was calling without glancing at the caller ID. “What’s up?”

Under his boss’ cold gaze from behind, Paul said, “Good evening, Miss Johnson. Please come downstairs.”

While changing the high-heels that she had been wearing for a whole night, Catherine answered, “I’m exhausted. If he wants to see me, tell him to come upstairs.”

The volume of the hand-free mode was pretty high. Hearing Catherine’s words, Paul believed that he would be doomed the next second.

“Miss Johnson, it’s because that Miss Sophia and Mr. Lincoln are missing you,” Paul said in a trembling voice, “Mr. Clark said if you don’t want to see little miss and the young master, he would never let them meet you again.”
