A Replacement Bride

Chapter 96

Beatrice was happy as she held the bowl of noodles. Then, she raised her head and looked at Joaquin. "You are so nice to me, Joe," she said sweetly.

Joaquin smiled and sat beside her. "Eat up now," he said.

Only then did she start eating the noodles.

Although Joaquin's cooking wasn't exactly the best and it could only be counted as edible, she ate it like it was something delicious. She dug into the food, finished it within seconds, and even burped in satisfaction.

"I feel so blessed right now, Joe." After putting down the empty bowl, she looked at him shyly.

"If you hadn't saved me five years ago, I would've been dead right now," he replied as he took the empty bowl and walked toward the kitchen to clean it.

When Beatrice heard his words, her smile stiffened as she looked at his figure with viciousness. Slowly, she gripped her knuckles and tried to suppress her anger.

It has been five years. Why is he still thinking about the night with Katherine when I am the one who has been by his side for all these years? I don't understand what is so good about her when all she did was sleep with him that one time. Why can't I replace her in his heart even though five years have passed? she thought begrudgingly.

The more she thought about it, the more unhappy she was that she almost couldn't maintain the calm expression on her face. By then, Joaquin had already finished washing the dishes and put them aside. When he turned around, she had already regained her composure.

"Don't say it like that, Joe. I will still do the same thing if it ever happens again. After all, we are both Cechirusians in a foreign country. How can I do nothing to save you?" She looked at him fondly.

Hearing her words, Joaquin only hummed in response.

"Joe, can you stay with me a little longer? You don't need to be in a rush to leave." Beatrice looked at him expectantly, which he then nodded after thinking for a moment.

For the whole afternoon, Joaquin stayed by Beatrice's side in the hospital, but he seemed to have something on his mind and was constantly distracted. After she had fallen asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief and left the hospital.
