A Replacement Bride

Chapter 294

When Eddie heard Katherine, he knitted his brows tightly together. "Do you know what he did? On what grounds are you protecting him?! Who are you?"

Katherine didn't answer, but she just looked at him with an icy expression and an intense gaze as she pondered.

At this moment, Mike suddenly spoke in shock, "M-Miss Cornell? You came!"

He thought that he was dreaming, so he rubbed his eyes as he shivered. When he saw the side profile of the man beside her from the corner of his eyes, he was even more shocked, and his body trembled.

He knew about Joaquin's prestigious identity. In those days, he had been on a mission with Joaquin, but something nearly went wrong halfway through the mission. Only with Joaquin's calmness in that situation could they continue the task successfully. After that, he grew a lot of respect for Joaquin, even though he was much older than him.

So, when he saw Joaquin, he was shocked and curious. "W-Why are you here, Colonel Levisay?"

Hearing that, Joaquin looked at him from the corner of his eyes and finally gave him some reaction. "Kathy is my wife. If she wants to come, I'll obviously follow her." In two sentences, he explained his relationship with Katherine and also explained that his arrival had nothing to do with Mike.
