Chapter 949

Caleb was stuck in a serious bind, he was supposed to leave but his feet just wouldn’t budge

“So…you and Peterson, what’s the deal?”

“He’s a great guy we’re getting hitched in a few days”

Caleb froze, then hopped off the window sill, tightly gripping Katharine’s shoulders, words tumbling out in a panic.

“You’ve barely met the guy and you’re rushing into marriage? At least date for half a year, get to know him properly before tying the knot ”

“What’s it to you?”

Caleb lowered his head, resting his chin on her shoulder, planting a weak kiss on her cheek

“Katharine, it’s not that I don’t fancy you, it’s just. I have some stuff to deal with that I can’t put into words. Can you wait for me?”
