A Replacement Bride

Chapter 372

"What do you mean?" Joaquin arched his brow and ambled toward the woman.

"Stop playing dumb." A speechless Katherine pursed her lips. "Why did you put on an act in front of Jayden today?"

Hearing that, Joaquin broke into laughter as a glint flashed across his eyes. His shoulders heaved as though he had just heard a funny joke.

For some reason, Katherine felt her face flushing as the man laughed. She snapped, "What are you laughing at? Why do you behave strangely today?"

Instead of answering her, Joaquin questioned, "Do you really have no idea why I behave this way?"

Taken aback, Katherine looked away and ignored him.

Joaquin approached her slowly and sat down beside her. His narrowed eyes glittered like the stars.

"Jayden obviously has an ulterior motive for approaching you. As your husband, there's no way I can put up with it."

That guy doesn't even hide his feelings for Kathy. How I wish I could just kill him!

A helpless Katherine cleared her throat and muttered, "There's nothing between us, so there's no need for you to be concerned."

"I know there's nothing between you two." Joaquin nodded and spoke impassively. "However, that doesn't mean I have to put up with him."

Realizing that they mustn't go on with the topic, Katherine fell silent and let the man be.

As they intended to head out and find out more about the current situation the next day, they decided to go to bed early that night.

When Joaquin got up in the middle of the night, he saw that Katherine was flushing and her lips were parted. Worried that she might feel thirsty, he decided to head downstairs with a cup.
