Katherine was lowering her head to check the cards. She simply knew someone came in without thinking too much.
After sequencing all of her cards, she noted, “Come on, let’s decide who’s the landlord in this game.”
She felt someone was talking by her side when she finished speaking. That man seemed to be smiling and joked, “You’re so relaxed.”
Katherine got startled. All of her motions stopped.
She stared at the cars in her hands and blinked her eyes in astonishment.
This sound was so familiar.
Katherine turned around slowly and looked that man from up and down.
Hector was carrying a smile when saying, “Your expression really tenses me up.”
Katherine put the cards down. She thought for a while and got up, asking, “You’re back. Why didn’t you tell us early?”
Hector handed the luggage to the waiter on the other side and let them place it.
Then he sat down by Katherine’s side and picked up Katherines’ cars.
He replied in a calm manner, “I want to give you a surprise.”
Indeed, it was surprising, but to Katherine, it was also unprepared.
Hector said to the other two men, “Come on. Let’s continue your game.”
Those people also knew Hector. They looked at him and then lowered their heads to calculate cards in their hands.
After land claim, Hector started playing cards and then continued to chat with Katherine, asking, “Where is Kyle? I haven’t seen him. How come that you’re here alone?”
Katherine nodded and replied, “He is asleep upstairs.”
Hector was quite surprising, asking, “Why he is sleeping on this time? You have already come. Why doesn’t he come downstairs to welcome you?”
It was a hard thing to explain because there so many things happened.
Katherine also didn’t understand the way to explain what happened between Kyle and Bosie.
Therefore, she could only give a simple explanation, “We just had lunch together and he had some wine. Maybe he drank too much and couldn’t stand it.”
Hector slowly nodded and replied, “Well, I see.”
That was how Katherine passed through the topic.
After playing one round, the two waiters tidied the cards set and turned around to leave in order to leave room for Hector and Katherine to talk.
Hector finally turned around to look at Katherine.
He showed a complex expression. After glancing at Katherine’s face for a while, his sight slowly rested on her belly.
Katherine asked first, “Can you tell it? The baby is still in early stage and it cannot tell obviously from the belly’ change.”
Hector already learned the news that Katherine got pregnant from Kyle.
Kyle didn’t know anything between Hector and Katherine and told this thing to him with a smile.
It couldn’t be denied that it was indeed a pleasant thing, expect Hector felt it was not.
Hector thought for a long time and finally remarked, “It must be hard to carry a baby.”
Katherine rubbed her belly and replied, “Not so hard. I am still in the early stage of pregnancy and my movement hasn’t been affected a lot. Maybe it will be tired for me in later stages.”
Hector compressed his lips together and rest his sight on the table in the front. It seemed he couldn’t find any words to reply.
Katherine also got embarrassed because of it. Hence, she suddenly changed another topic and asked, “Have you had lunch yet? How about preparing some food for you?”
Hector hadn’t eaten anything. He had to get up early today to package and took the car to arrive here. He didn’t have a good rest from morning till now.
