A Replacement Bride

Chapter 199

"I will go with you." Joaquin stood up and looked at Katherine with a burning gaze.

They still didn't know how many people there were, but Joaquin knew that their opponents were ruthless. There was no way he could feel at ease about letting her go to the appointment alone.

Even though he knew that she was not a weak woman, he didn't want her to face everything alone.

He wanted to stand behind her and be her shelter.

She then turned her head and smilingly looked at him. "Do you think they can do anything to me?"

"I am your man. I can't just watch you march into the lion's den by yourself," he solemnly told her with his lips pursed.

Katherine was caught off-guard by him calling himself her man. Her pale cheeks already had a hint of pink by the time she came back to her senses.

She then quickly turned around as she didn't dare look at him any longer. "Stay here and protect Grandma and Noah. Since they managed to send things here, they must also have the ability to sneak in. I worry about leaving Grandma and Noah at home. I will need your help to protect them."

"I—" As Joaquin tried to voice his disapproval, he was stopped by her finger that pressed against his lips. The electrifying sensation immediately made it unable for him to talk as he stared at her, his eyes ablaze.

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable by the look he was giving her, Katherine quickly avoided his gaze and reassured him, "I will be fine by myself. If you are still worried, you can lend me Jeremy."

"Alright," he unhesitantly agreed.

He then called Jeremy over to send Katherine to the Ewing Factory.
