I'm Sorry, But I Love You novel Chapter 11

“I’ll take her with me now, and as for the deal, you have my word on that, Mr. Clark.”

Owen’s words immediately caused uproar in the room as everyone was taken aback by his decision.

“I have heard that plenty of people are interested to have a hand in the Torres family’s project, but Owen has always turned them down.”

“Man, Owen is really willing to go overboard for Catherine by putting such a huge project at stake even though she has been put behind bars previously…”

“Don’t you know that the two of them are childhood friends? If Catherine has not fallen in love with Anderson, they might even have kids…”

“Hold your tongue right now if you don’t want to meet your end. Can’t you see Anderson’s petrifying look on his face?”

Joshua insisted to follow Anderson back after the meeting had ended on a sour note as he was concerned about his condition. Joshua asked him tentatively while they were in the car, “Do you want to drop by the hospital, Andy?”

Anderson shot him a glimpse as Joshua continued with a smirk on his face, “I’m just worry about you. What if it can’t be used anymore in the future, then that would be…”

Anderson cast a piercing side long glance towards Joshua which had instantly made him changed the topic of the conversation, “Don’t take it to heart, Andy. The Johnson family is always on good terms with the Torres family, plus Catherine and Owen have known each other since they were young, hence it is normal for them to be closed to each other.”

Although Anderson did not favor Catherine and had even mercilessly sent her to prison with his own hands, the sight of his ex-wife whom had given him a devastating kick in his balls throwing herself into another man’s arms and calling his name affectionately would likely to be unbearable to take in even for most of the guys.

Anderson closed his eyes and stayed silent for a long time, and just when Joshua was about to fall asleep due to boredom, Anderson’s voice suddenly rang in the car as he finally opened his mouth, “Why has she become like this? Isn’t Catherine always the gentlest woman and has a tender heart back then?” His brows were knitted as he could still feel a dull pain throbbing in one part of his body.

Couldn’t you see that it was all because of you?

Joshua thought to himself, but he did not have the courage to blurt it out in the end, so only a deep sigh came out from his opened mouth, “Catherine has only been gentle to you all this while. When has she ever been that kind to someone else?”

Anderson disregarded Joshua’s words and continued with his own thoughts instead, “She gave Isabella a hefty shove and caused the death of two lives, so shouldn’t she be punished for what she had done?”

All he ever wanted was to avenge Isabella’s death, so why had things turned out this way?

He had always hated situations that had gotten out of hand as he could not control it.

Joshua tried to make him look at things differently as he asked tentatively, “Catherine’s frontal face was not shown in that video back then, and all we could discern from it was just a silhouette. What if it’s just someone whom had a similar back figure as Catherine?”

“That’s not possible. I could recognize her back even if she is burnt to ashes.”

Joshua muttered in his heart sullenly: Who was the one whom had always made out the back figures he had seen on the street as Catherine here?

“Be that as it may, Catherine had already paid the price now that her father and mother had both passed away. Truth to be told, I had always loved the cakes that her mother baked, and I only got to have a taste of them every time I tagged along with you to the Johnson family…”

Joshua babbled on while Anderson shut his eyes again, and it was hard to make out whether he was keeping his ears open, or he had fallen asleep.

It was at this moment that a hasty ringtone went off in the car…

On the other hand, Catherine’s body was shivering all over while she was sitting in Owen’s car, “Do you have any water? I need to take my medicine.”

Owen brought out a glass of water from the fridge and passed it over to her as he urged, “Try to lessen your medicine intake as it’s bad for your current condition.”

“I’m fine,” Catherine answered as she pulled out a pill box from her bag and proceeded to put together some colorful pills on her palm. After that, she shoved them into her mouth and swallowed them without a single frown on her face.

After she had drawn her breath and felt much better, she finally opened her mouth, “I’ve screwed things up again. I reckon Anderson will not hand my kids over to me after this.”
