A Replacement Bride

Chapter 70

While Aberama served the dishes, he noticed Joaquin following behind Katherine. He couldn't help narrowing his alluring eyes, asking the young woman icily, "Why is he still here?"

"For a meal," Katherine answered concisely as she plated the pasta for everyone, handing a plate to Joaquin after he grabbed a seat.

Aberama, on the other hand, was rendered speechless.

At the end of the meal, Katherine volunteered to clear the table. Meanwhile, Aberama shot a glare at Joaquin and warned, "You and Kathy aren't a good match. You know nothing about her, and you don't know what she needs or what kind of man suits her. Let her go, Joaquin."

To that, Joaquin quirked a brow plainly while giving Aberama a sidelong glance. "She probably isn't into s*ssies."

To think I'd lose to Joaquin in an argument! Aberama was so livid that he was heaving.

After chucking all the plates and cutlery into the dishwasher, Katherine came out to find a livid Aberama and a composed Joaquin. She knew at once that the two had clearly bickered, and Joaquin had won.

However, she didn't want to bother herself with the childish men.

She had to make a trip to Theodore's research institute later in the day as the clinical trial results for the experimental medicine had come out, and this result concerned if the medicine could be used practically.

Once the medicine could be launched and used widely in all the hospitals, she'd be able to bag a fortune.

"Now that you guys have eaten, please leave. I still have to head out for something later in the day." Katherine waved her hand and shooed the guys away unforgivingly.

"Where to? I'll give you a ride." Joaquin stood up conscientiously, then added before Katherine could turn him down, "It's my duty as your fiancé."

Katherine looked at her so-called fiancé with narrowed eyes, desperately wanting to give him a solid smack in the face.
