A Replacement Bride

Chapter 350

Chapter 349

It wasn't like Katherine was unaware of Bella's feelings for Joaquin. She hadn't thought much of this before, but now that she heard this from Bella, a bout of displeasure washed over her for some reason. In an instant, the smile on her lips faded, and a frosty look came over her beautiful eyes. "Oh, is that so? Well then, I'll look forward to it," she replied. With that, she rolled up the car window, stepped on the gas, and drove away.

She still felt kind of annoyed when she returned to the hospital. After entering the ward, she tossed the car keys directly to Joaquin, saying, "I just got rear-ended. Here are the car keys; go take the car for repairs."

The instant Joaquin heard this, his eyes froze at once, and a nervous expression overtook his countenance. "What happened? Did you get hurt?"

Katherine looked askance at him and retorted coldly, "Can't you see it for yourself?"

Her words sounded sarcastic, but Joaquin didn't notice it immediately as he was worried about her. Only after he carefully looked her up and down did his expression ease a little. "Good thing that you're fine. Who rear-ended you? Why didn't you ask them to compensate for that?"

Katherine replied icily, "I didn't ask for compensation because I feared you might feel sorry for her."

Joaquin was puzzled by her words. "Who should I feel sorry for?"

Katherine didn't hide it from him either. She answered frankly, "It was that pampered little cousin of yours who rear-ended me. As her cousin-in-law, I can't bully her, no?"

Realizing whom she was referring to, Joaquin was surprised. "You mean Bella?"

"That's right," Katherine said slowly while peeling an orange for Noah. "She's thinking about you all the time, and she just declared to me that she wanted to commit incest with you."

"Cough, cough…" Keith, who was curled up and dozing on the couch, couldn't help but choke on his saliva when he heard this. Katherine darted a sideways glance at him, upon which he immediately sat up and said, "Well, uh, I've got to take a trip to the restroom." With that, he swiftly left the room. Sigh, what a shame that I can't watch the drama.

Only then did Joaquin realize that Katherine was being unhappy. Surprised and delighted by her behavior, he immediately raised his brows and explained, "It wouldn't be considered incest. She and I aren't blood relatives, after all."
