Joaquin chuckled. His sour mood was finally lifted. "Don't look down on me. I'm not as weak as you think."

There was a hint of teasing in his voice, and Katherine blushed. She lowered her voice a little while saying, "I didn't say you were weak."

Joaquin thought she was being coy. He cocked his eyebrow and felt delighted. "Just trust me on this. I can handle things on this side." He then asked, "What about Noah?"
