A Replacement Bride

Chapter 375

Chapter 374

Katherine was stumped by his words for a moment before becoming fully awake. "What led you to make that decision in the early morning? Has something come up?"

Joaquin was contemplating how to answer her when a knock came at the door.

"Kathy, are you awake?" It was Jayden.

Joaquin frowned in response, looking clearly displeased. This guy is everywhere!

Of course, his displeasure hadn't gone unnoticed by Katherine, and she felt inexplicably amused, for she thought she had figured something out while blinking.

"I am." Katherine cleared her throat and answered, seeing Joaquin had no intentions of speaking up.

At that, Joaquin could only get up and answer the door to look into Jayden's eyes with his piercing gaze.

Jayden, on the other hand, was originally wearing a smile behind the door, but upon seeing that it was Joaquin, he frowned at once.

"Good morning, Mr. Hall," Joaquin greeted dispassionately while leaning against the doorframe, and a hint of ridicule flashed across his eyes when he saw the change in Jayden's eyes.

"Morning. Where's Kathy?" Jayden also replied emotionlessly, not intending to be welcoming toward Joaquin.

While speaking, Jayden gazed into the room, only for Joaquin to stretch his arm out and obstruct the former's view. "Don't you think it's a little rude for you to look into the room of another man's wife, Mr. Hall?"

Jayden frowned in response, but he knew he shouldn't retort, so he just monotoned, "Breakfast is ready. Tell Kathy to come down and eat."

With that, he turned around to leave but looked as though he remembered something as he looked toward Joaquin and added, "I've personally made her favorite—beef congee."
