A Replacement Bride

Chapter 327

Chapter 326

After Jayden and Corey left, Joaquin leaned against the wall while staring at Katherine with a mischievous look.

Since the ward had quieted down, she sat down and blinked her eyes at him after noticing his gaze. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Then, he raised his handsome eyebrow slightly and chuckled softly. "It's nothing. I'm only looking to see how attractive my Kathy is."

The way Joaquin spoke sounded sardonic, and it made Katherine feel slightly awkward. "What attractiveness? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Soon, he walked over, sat next to her, and gently pinched her cheeks. "The way Jayden reacted earlier seems like I had been mistreating you or something."

She guessed Jayden's words had upset him, so she batted her lashes and tried to reassure him, "Whatever he says, it's obvious that he's talking nonsense. What's more, our matters have nothing to do with him. All that matters is that I think you're doing a good job."

Smiling, he asked, "Does that mean you think I'm treating you nicely?"

Katherine pondered for a moment and didn't want Joaquin to feel sad by what happened earlier, so she coaxed him, "Yes. I think you're excellent."

Her praise worked on him, and he pushed his luck by leaning his forehead against hers and lowering his voice to make it sound more seductive. "So, will you obey my words in the future?"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, she responded, "Yes."

The sight of her being so submissive caused him to laugh out loud because it was so out of character for her. Consequently, he buried his face in the crook of her neck as his shoulders trembled with laughter.

Meanwhile, Katherine was speechless and awkwardly pushed Joaquin's head away. "Get up. I can't eat with you like this."

Afterward, he got up swiftly and leaned against the couch while looking at her embarrassed side profile. He raised his eyebrows in delight as he grabbed her hand and interlocked it with her fingers. "I don't mind what others say. You're already mine, so why should I argue with him? However, once we return to Hovington, I must take excellent care of you. My heart aches when I see how skinny you are."

She pursed her lips and didn't comment on that, but her heart felt warm.
