A Replacement Bride

Chapter 43

"Keith, I beg you to pull your sh*t together. Otherwise, you're not allowed to visit my place in the future." Katherine pushed Keith's big face away and spoke harshly.

"Okay, you ruthless woman. Do you still regard yourself as my sister?" Keith sat irritably on the couch, looking at the gamepad, then at the VR eye set beside him. He was ultimately terrified by the bloody image and did not dare to look any further.

He appeared dissatisfied as he sat on the couch with nowhere to rest his long legs.

"Are you really going to promise Jorge to marry the b*stard from the Levisays?" Keith inquired glumly after a while of sitting.

He had just returned from Kyoland when he discovered Katherine had agreed to Jorge's request to marry into the Levisay Family.

Still, Joaquin's notorious character was hard to ignore. According to rumors, this romantic playboy was in a car accident while playing with a woman that resulted in the paralysis of both legs and disfigured facial features.

Why would someone of this caliber marry my sister?

"Save the worry, kiddo," Katherine said casually in response to Keith's words. She then poured herself a glass of warm water and drank it slowly.

"I'm no longer a kiddo. I'll be eighteen this year!" exclaimed Keith.

"Precisely. So, you're still underaged." She arched her brows and gazed at the child in front of her.

The boy in front of her was much taller than he had been five years before, and his facial features remained immature, but he no longer appeared to be the little boy who only cried and ran.

Katherine's lips curved and her face lit up with a smile.

"That's not the issue. You have yet to answer me. Are you really going to marry that guy from the Levisays?" Keith yanked at his hair irritably, never hating his age so much.

Of course, he was not as young as Katherine made him out to be. This year marked his seventeenth birthday and he was already a degree student at the University of Bora.

He believed that if he worked hard to mature and become intelligent and excellent, he would be able to protect his sister and keep her safe from the bullies. He had no idea that he was still too young to do so. No matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to reach it; he could not protect his sister the way she deserved.
