A Replacement Bride

Chapter 44

"Then, I'll return to the Cornell Residence, Katherine."

Keith wished to stay with Katherine rather than leave, but his sister was too ruthless, forcing him to flee in despair.

She felt helpless when she saw his appearance; after all, he was still a kid with a childish temperament.

After Keith had left, Katherine opened the curtains and saw his figure five minutes later in the community garden. Soon, he left Soulin International.

She averted her gaze and drew the curtains.

On top of the hectic schedule she was on recently, she had an appointment the next day with an old friend. As a result, Katherine soaked in a hot bath before diligently going to bed.

This time, she slept reasonably well. She awoke early the next morning and was about to leave when her neighbor came out. She took another look and expressed disinterest upon seeing his face clearly. With a cold face, she pressed the elevator button.

There were two elevators on each floor. Joaquin approached Katherine as she stood there waiting for the elevator.

He stood there in a gray suit, buttoned up to the top of the neckline, and remained silent with his strong aura.

Katherine cursed silently, I can't believe I keep running into this pervert.

The elevator arrived just as she was thinking.

They entered the elevator sequentially. Since the space was big but limited, the man's natural scent was enticing and suffocating as the familiar smell penetrated her nose.

Katherine subconsciously glanced at Joaquin in front of her and a sense of familiarity kept creeping up on her.

She gave him a brief glance before shaking her head, attempting to suppress her emotion.
