A Replacement Bride

Chapter 66

Chapter 66

"Joe?" Beatrice asked bewilderedly as she had waited for a long time, but Joaquin's next move never came. As such, she couldn't help sneaking a peek at him.

On the other hand, the man in question had already released her, and he looked as gentle as ever. "I've frightened you, haven't I? Sorry."

Beatrice was originally apprehensive, for she thought the way he looked at her was somewhat off. Seeing that he was still the gentle man she knew, she heaved a sigh of relief and gently tugged on his hand, whining, "You know me, Joe. I don't mind if you want to."

Joaquin kept his profound gaze at her, his head lowered, finally speaking after a long while. "I still have something to do. Where are you heading off to? I'll give you a ride."

"Joe…" Anxious, Beatrice took an unconscious step forward.

How could she miss this rare opportunity? Joaquin was already this close to kissing her!

Alas, the man had always been one to do whatever he said. Just like that, he grabbed her hand and led her out the door, not giving her a chance to speak up.

Beatrice's eyes turned slightly red, feeling disheartened. She followed behind Joaquin with a lowered head. Because his strides were wide, she had a hard time catching up to him.

"Joe, you… You don't like me anymore, do you?"

He had never treated her like this. Even when he kept his distance in the past, he was never like this.

It was still the same gentle gaze, smile, and tone, but her instincts told her that everything had changed.
