A Replacement Bride

Chapter 139

"Why are you the only one around, Johdy? Where's Kathy?" Jennifer asked as she had not seen Katherine when she awoke. Joaquin was the only one outside, cleaning up.

Hearing that, Joaquin went to help her to the dining table before serving her a cup of warm milk and a bowl of porridge. Then, he answered, "Kathy didn't sleep well last night, so I asked her to get some rest. Please have something first. Just let me know if you need anything."

Jennifer nodded with satisfaction upon seeing his good attitude.

"I haven't been back to Hovington in a long time. Maybe you could take me for a walk." Jennifer felt revitalized after eating her breakfast. Seeing that the time was still early and the day was bright, she began ordering him.

He was concerned that it would be too tiring for her to walk around. Hence, he took his wheelchair for her to sit on before pushing her outside.

The weather was beautiful in Hovington. However, they were in the midst of the hottest period, and it was extremely warm outside. No one could stand being under the sun for long.

Joaquin was afraid that Jennifer would get heat stroke from being outside, so he brought her to the mall straightaway.

"Hovington doesn't appear to have changed much over the years." Jennifer sat in her wheelchair, looking around the mall restlessly.

"That's true. Hovington's style is now firmly established. The new things are more outside the city area. The city center indeed hasn't changed much in the last few years," he said while pushing her into an elderly clothing store.

She said nothing in response as she began selecting clothes from the racks.

The phone in his pocket had been ringing for some time. "Johdy, you have an incoming call, right?" she asked, casting a glance at him.

He pulled out his phone, looked at the caller, and nodded. "Yes, Grandma. I need to answer the call for a while. You shop around by yourself first and call me if you need anything,"
