A Replacement Bride

Chapter 117

"What are you two doing here?" scowled Elizabeth upon seeing Katherine pushing Joaquin over to the main table.

Declan followed Elizabeth's line of sight upon hearing the voice to find who else but Katherine, and his eyes lit up at once.

On the other hand, Katherine's lips twitched as she had successfully identified Declan at this point. What is this punk doing here in Cechirus instead of working in Fontan?

At that, she gave him a warning stare, causing the guy to zip his lips and look silently at Katherine with a smile.

Joaquin had noticed Declan's gaze, and he looked somewhat surprised at his supposed fiancée. To think the esteemed guest knows Katherine?!

"We've come to eat, Grandma. Didn't you call Joaquin saying you wanted us home for dinner? We haven't even had lunch yet," retorted Katherine innocently before sweeping her gaze across all the faces at the table. With that, she pushed Joaquin to an unfamiliar woman's side, requesting forthrightly, "Please sit elsewhere."

You were the one who asked Joaquin and me to come back for dinner, but now, there isn't even a seat for us.
