A Replacement Bride

Chapter 363

After her transfiguration, Katherine raised her eyebrows and smiled brightly, but her face looked strange. "Of course. My grandma's transfiguration technique was unmatched. As her granddaughter, I naturally take over her talent. With my current ordinary appearance, I'm sure no one will be able to recognize me in a sea of people if they don't look carefully. They won't be able to imagine who is hiding under this facade."

Joaquin casually leaned against the back of the chair and raised his brows slightly. "It's true, though. I was shocked."

Noah appeared quite proud of her mother, and as she shook her hand, she remarked, "Mom, transfiguration seems fun. Can you teach me how to do it later?"

The way she said it sounded a bit coquettish, causing Katherine to feel a strange emotion. Somehow, she felt appreciated and unexpected joy.

As she looked down at her daughter, tenderness oozed out of her eyes. They even had a touch of dottiness to them. "Sure. I'll teach you when you get older." Then, she said warmly, "I have to leave to settle some matters. Stay at home with daddy in the meantime, okay? I'll be back real soon."

Noah tilted her small head, and her round eyes sparkled. "Daddy said he's going to cook my favorite dishes. We'll wait for you at home!"

"Okay." Katherine smiled at her.

She grabbed the keys Joaquin gave her and walked to the door. Then, she informed him, "I already told Carmine to settle Noah's discharge matters, and she'll send Noah's stuff and her medication over later."

Joaquin nodded and walked to the door, glancing at her with dark eyes before exhaling. "Is it really okay for you to go alone? Maybe I should send Jeremy to protect you secretly."

Instinctively, he had a bad feeling about the situation. He knew those who broke into the home and rifled through the drawers and cabinets were well-prepared. Since they had discovered nothing, those people would not let them go.

Still, Katherine understood his concern, and with a slight crease between her brows, she reassured him, "Don't worry. I know what to do."
