A Replacement Bride

Chapter 166

"Joaquin, do you and Katherine not share a unit?" Tiara followed Joaquin and Katherine into Soulin International with a curious look on her face as she studied her surroundings. At last, she noticed that Katherine walked into unit 1801 while he unlocked the door of unit 1802. Thus, she couldn't help but ask that.

Joaquin cast her a warning look instead of answering. "Are you coming in? If not, you can go home."

"Don't chase me away. I'm coming in," she answered as she quickly slipped into his unit.

He waved at Katherine one more time before he shut the door.

As Tiara walked into the unit, she began to take a look around. The unit lacked decorations and gave her the feeling of the absence of its hostess. She immediately pointed it out. "By the way, Joaquin, I have a question—what's happening between you and Katherine? Are you having a contract marriage like one of the plots in the novel, which you'll divorce after some time?"

He cast her a look without much emotion. "Did Grandpa ask you to monitor us?"

Tiara waved her hands frantically to deny his claim. "No way! That's impossible! Grandpa isn't such a kind of person. It's just that I annoyed him in the house, so he wants to chase me away."

However, Joaquin could see through her lies, and he gestured in the direction of the guestroom. "That's the guest room. You'll be sleeping there. Remember to not touch anything or try to discover anything. Curiosity kills the cat."

"Of course. Can I visit Katherine, though? Aren't you worried about her living alone? I bet the men can't wait to make a move on her, since she's pretty and kind. Aren't you afraid of any love rival?" Pouting at the lack of freedom, she walked toward the guestroom with her suitcase in tow. Before she opened the door, she darted him a question.

Joaquin wasn't looking at her at the moment, but her words created a huge impact on him.

There were indeed a lot of men around Katherine, and most of them were interested in her.

He couldn't make out the source of the disturbing feeling when he thought about it.

Tiara returned to his side after she put her luggage in the room.
