Chapter 69

Katherine assumed Aberama had left as it was dead silent when she walked out to get a bottle of coke from the fridge. But lo and behold, something felt off as soon as she took a couple of steps. At that, she looked toward the couch to find two men staring inexplicably silently at each other. Sensing a storm brewing, she diverted her path toward the living room.

"What are you two doing?" she couldn't help asking as she looked back and forth between the two.

Those oblivious might think they had a thing for one another with how they riveted their gazes at each other.

Joaquin subtly withdrew his gaze to look up at Katherine to find her in a loose, casual cotton nightgown and her pair of long legs out on display. Her disheveled hair and I-just-got-out-of-bed look took some of her usual aloofness away, replacing it with seductiveness and cheekiness.

With a barely noticeable quirk of a brow, he asked naturally, "Is my dear fiancée so open that she'd invite just about any man to stay over and even walk around in front of him wearing like this?"

Stumped, Katherine reflexively looked at herself. It was an average nightgown, and whatever shouldn't be on display wasn't on display. There was nothing indecent at all.

Then, seeing how Joaquin looked like he had come to catch her in an adulterous act, she couldn't help chuckling. "Why, Mr. Levisay, are you jealous? Are you upset that I've invited a man to stay?"

"You're free to do whatever you want. It has nothing to do with me." Joaquin looked deadpan on the outside, but on the inside, the stuffiness was making him very uncomfortable.

The feeling was unprecedented, and he wasn't sure just what exactly Katherine meant to him.

What tied them together was merely a piece of the marriage contract. If anything, they had an encounter before confirming their agreement.
