Today Theo was stuck in meetings in the company, unable to pick up Katherine.
After finishing working and tidying, Katherine went downstairs.
She fixed her eyes down on the cellphone when she suddenly heard someone gossip, “Is he an Asian? So handsome.”
“His body shape looks very good, too. He is just a little indifferent. When someone came over to say hello to him, he simply said ‘get away’.”
A handsome boy?
Katherine looked up and had a casual glance, but she stopped her steps and tightened herself at only one sight.
This face always lingered in her mind in the midnight.
After looking at his eyes for half a minute, Katherine turned around and ran away.
However, she was not his rival. He caught her up within few steps, gripping her wrist hard with one hand. Katherine was pulled back hard into his embrace.
“Want to run away again?” The cold voice was so familiar that Katherine felt a shiver.
Looking down at the woman who had tortured his heart for more than two years, Jacob felt suffocated.
He couldn’t describe how he felt now in his mind.
Excited, happy, lucky, angry, guilty…
His emotions were so complicated but he kept his countenance, just looking coldly at Katherine.
“Let go of me!” Katherine felt that her wrist was about to break, struggling to break away from him.
“Let you go so that you escape again? Don’t even think about it!” Jacob laughed coldly.
Failing to break away, Katherine gave up, staring hard at him, “What one earth do you want to do?”
“Go back with me.” Jacob’s face tightened.
Katherine seemed to have heard a joke, smiling coldly, “Go back? Where? Back to the house of you and Lucia?”
“Isn’t it enough to take away one of my kidneys? Do you need the other one? In other words, do you need other parts of my body? My cornea or my heart?”
Katherine’s words made Jacob’s heart very painful.
The stupid things he had done made him feel guilty for two years.
For more than two years, he had been numbing himself with work, like the walking dead.
Sometimes, he even dreamed about Katherine lying in blood, with a baby drenched in blood between her arms, and asking him why he was so heartless.
Jacob closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “It’s my fault. Sorry.”
Katherine was stunned and doubted if she misheard him.
Was Jacob apologizing to her?
“Do you think an apology can make up for what happened in the past?” Katherine’s eyes were full of anger and she threw him off, “Can you bring my baby back to life?”
“The previous Katherine had been dead when you decided to transplant her heart to Lucia. I won’t go back with you.”
Maybe the resentment in Katherine’s eyes stung Jacob, making him loosen his hand, which had been gripping hers.
Katherine pushed him away, turned around and left. There seemed to be some determination in her receding figure.
Jacob felt his heart pressed by a heavy stone, suffocating.
She detested him.
Katherine walked for a while. She didn’t relax herself until she was out of Jacob’s gaze.
She felt distressed, but didn’t know what feeling it was.
After two years, she felt Jacob had changed, who had less rage. His gaze at her made her feel a little distressed.
After sitting for a while, Katherine stood up and planned to go home by taxi.
But as soon as she walked to the road, a car stopped beside her. The window was wound down and Jacob’s indifferent face appeared.
“Get into the car.”
Before Katherine refused, he said, “Want me to get out and carry you into the car?”
Sure enough, Katherine would refuse.
After thinking for a while, she gritted her teeth and opened the rear door.
Jacob said coldly, “Sit in the front.”
Katherine could only close the door angrily, and sat in the front.
Seeing Katherine with angry face, Jacob felt in a good mood. Her anger was better than her indifference to him. thinking of her inanimate look, Jacob thought she was better like this.
Even though she hated him, it was better than her indifference to him.
“Where are you taking me?” Katherine frowned when she saw that he was driving in the opposite direction from where she lived, but did not remind because she didn’t want Jacob to send her back.
There were two children in the family.
“Go and dine with me.”
Katherine frowned more tightly and said ironically, “There is no lack of who have dinner with Mr. Murray, no? Why bother to eat with me, who you dislike? You will definitely lose your appetite.”
Jacob kept silent.
Katherine seemed to have hit cotton with her fist, full of anger in her heart.
Suddenly she thought of him taking a child to an amusement park. Katherine felt a little uncomfortable and said, “Isn’t Mr. Murray afraid that his wife knows it? Dining with me will definitely make her very uncomfortable.”
Jacob narrowed his eyes slightly, “My wife is you. Besides, it is reasonable enough even if we have sexual intercourse.”
