A Bird in the Cage novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7 The Secret

Growing up, Catherine was pampered and spoiled like a princess at home. There wasn’t a single thing that she needed to worry about as she lived a carefree life. It wasn’t until she overheard their conversation that she realized she wasn’t her parents’ biological child. She was adopted.

Even though her biological parents abandoned her, her foster parents treated her with so much love and care. That was the reason why she was even more grateful to her them, who weren’t blood-related to her.

Seeing her parents in a good mood, Catherine felt that everything was worth it, even if she had to be tortured by Ryan last night.

“Does Luca treat you well? Tell Dad if he bullies

you, okay?”

“Huh? Okay! He treats me well, Dad. Do you think I’ll let him bully me? I’m the one who bullies him!” Catherine laughed.

Back then, when her father’s factory was on the brink of closing down, he hid in the room and muttered to himself, saying that if he lost the factory, he wouldn’t be able to live on. However, he was worried about his daughter, because she wasn’t married yet.

After Catherine agreed to Ryan’s conditions, she pretended to marry him in order to reassure her parents and to move out naturally. Ryan had arranged his assistant, Luca Taylor, to be her groom.

“I haven’t seen him in so long! Invite him over for dinner someday, will you? The more the merrier!” her mother suggested.

“Okay! I’ll ask him soon,” Catherine answered obediently.

“You’re really a grown-up now. I guess marriage really changes a person, huh?” her mother praised as she patted her head.

After chatting for a while, her parents went off to work. Catherine dialed Kevin’s number on the landline so he could come home and have a chat with her.

“Thanks for helping me out during the wedding, Kevin!”

“Did it go well? I purposely looked for a pregnant lady to make it look real! Was the wedding ruined?”

Catherine shook her head and sighed.

“I think Jas is out of her mind. She didn’t doubt

him at all.”

“What about you? Should I help you find a way to break them up?” he asked tentatively.

Catherine shook her head again and said softly, “I’ll leave quietly in a few months once our contract is over.”

“Anyway, I didn’t call you here to talk about this. I want to ask you about the car accident.”

At the mention of the car accident, Kevin’s face fell a little. Initially, he was casually leaning on the couch but immediately sat up straight.
