Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 640 More Troubles Again

Later, Kate received a text message from June. In it, he stated the time and address of the meetup as though he knew she would surely turn up for it.

Kate scorned coldly and threw the phone back into her bag.

She had supposedly wanted to ignore the text message, but on second thought, she changed her mind and dressed herself up to head out.

“Where are you going? You’re all dolled up,” Finnick asked.

Kate gave him a smooch on his cheek and smiled. “I have a date with Daisy and the others. We’ll have lunch together and then do some shopping. I’ll be back in the evening after tea with them.”

He returned a kiss but on her lips. “Do you have enough cash with you?”

“I not only have credit cards with an unlimited credit line but also a black card with me. As long as those shops have a wireless payment terminal, I won’t be broke.”

“Stay safe while shopping, then. Don’t skip your meals too.”

“I got it, Sir. You’re honestly such a steward.”

After getting herself ready, Kate made her way down, only to run into Terrence sitting on the couch in the living room reading the newspaper. Sensing her approaching, he shot a glance at her.

“Dad, I have a date with Daisy and won’t be home for lunch later,” Kate expressed.

Terrence merely bobbed his head.

His behavior barely bothered her as she continued, “I’ll get going, Dad.” With that, she clattered toward the door in her high heels.

“Kate, never resort to harsh methods. Leaving some leeway for others is equivalent to leaving some for yourself. Don’t pressurize the younger ones too much, or else things might backfire, and you’ll ultimately be the one who loses everything.” Terrence’s voice suddenly piped up behind her.

Hearing that, Kate paused in her tracks and turned around. “Dad, what do you mean? I don’t get it,” she queried with a soft smile.

Terrence picked up the newspaper again and said without looking up, “Aren’t you going shopping?”

Unsure of what he had wanted to imply behind those words, Kate turned and headed out.

Acting under Kate’s instructions, the chauffeur safely sent her to the destination and reported, “Mrs. Hisson, we’re here.”

“Richard, head back here to fetch me in an hour,” Kate ordered as she put on her sunglasses.

“Yes, Mrs. Hisson.”

She got out of the car and strutted into the café in her heels. In that instance, she gave off an air of elegance yet aloofness that made her feel so distant. Heading to the innermost table by the window, she saw a good-looking foreigner sitting at the table.

“Hello, Mrs. Hisson. I’m June, also known as John Wick. You can call me by either name.” June stood up and pulled the chair out for Kate in a chivalric manner. After she settled down, he then made a self-introduction.

Of course, his reaction had nothing to do with love and romance, but instead, an inborn way of reacting to pleasant sights like

June began executing his plan of dealing with Tiffany. He got someone to mess with Tiffany’s movie, and news of crew members getting injured got out within ten days of filming. As it was a project that Oscar and Isabella had invested in, many media outlets and paparazzi saw the opportunity to create buzz and began reporting about it. Even though Oscar, Isabella, and Derrick had spent a hefty sum of money at the drop of a hat to block the news from spreading, it felt that there was an evenly matched hidden force that had been relentlessly fanning the flames.
