A Replacement Bride

Chapter 239

Chapter 239

As calm and composed Katherine usually was, Joaquin's words left her completely stupefied, for she had never expected the man to be that direct.

For a moment, she couldn't tell how she was feeling.

While her heart ached, she was also feeling warm and fuzzy, and the contradicting feelings left her feeling multitudes.

As shrewd as she was, how could she not tell what he was thinking? But it was also precisely so that she was even more perturbed, as the night five years ago was like a thorn stuck in her heart, difficult to pull out.

Even when she now knew that man was him, she still felt disturbed when the story remained ambiguous.

That said, Jayden was still present, so she couldn't make a big deal out of it and only rolled her eyes speechlessly at Joaquin. "Alright, that's enough."

Joaquin's eyes lit up as he smiled, saying no more.

Meanwhile, Jayden was riddled with jealousy as he watched the couple interact. He couldn't believe Katherine was married, and by the looks of it, the couple was doing pretty well.

At that, he furrowed his brows. He had had enough of seeing the couple's interaction, yet he wasn't willing to leave just like that either. Hence, he suggested, "Hey, it's already noon. I bet you guys still haven't had lunch yet, right? Kathy, I've come to Fontan just for you. We should at least have a meal together, and since you and I are both available, why don't we have this meal now?"

It was a rather mild request, so Katherine nodded in agreement.
