Chapter 343

Joaquin could see how much Katherine blamed herself and he squeezed her fingers. "Don't think too much about that. It's already in the past, plus you didn't want things to turn out this way. You have done your best. Honestly, it's my fault. If I had not mistakenly identified…"

His eyelashes fluttered and he lowered his gaze. "Noah wouldn't have such a repressed childhood."

Joaquin inclined his head. After some hesitation, he asked, "When are you going to tell her about her grandmother's passing?"

Katherine fell silent at that and she looked slightly reluctant. "I haven't thought about that yet."

He knew why she was so conflicted. "I know that it's difficult. Noah's grandma was her closest relative and I'm worried that Noah cannot accept it as she has just recovered. However, you should know that she is a perceptive child and will suspect that sooner or later after not seeing her grandma for a long time."
