“Will Lincoln hurt Sue?”
“He doesn’t have that nerve.”
“Do you know something about their relationship?” Kathy asked curiously.
She didn’t want to bring back Sue’s terrible memory, so Kathy never inquired about the thing with Sue.
However, since Joseph and Lincoln were bosom friends, Joseph must know their story.
“Sue is Lincoln’s childhood sweetheart, but Lincoln’s families would accept Sue.”
“The Fletcher Family?”
Kathy knew little about Lincoln, but she already guessed that Lincoln may be a man with status.
…
When Sue left City N, Kathy came to see her off. Joseph did not drop a visit to Sue, because he had a meeting to attend. He just sent Kathy to meet Sue.
Sue led a wandering life, and she never settled down for years. She had already been accustomed to this kind of life, as she traveled a lot at home and abroad in the past years.
“Where’s Johnson?” Johnson did not show up, so Kathy asked.
“He’ll come over later. I’m afraid he is on a date.” Sue forced a smile.
“There are plenty of women around him.” Kathy frowned.
“It is weird that he doesn’t seem to have any much gossip recently.”
It was the boarding time. Sue slacked her paces and kept looking back.
However, the man she wished to see didn’t appear.
Sue’s disappointment was in Kathy’s eyes. She could do nothing but gave a hug to Sue, “Have a safe journey.”
Kathy planned to go back to Joseph Bay after she left the airport. But the case of Boston University was about to be on trial, she was supposed to confirm the record with policemen today.
She needed to testify in court three days later.
When Kathy left the police station, Peter was outside. He was arrested.
Confronting Kathy, Peter’s hatred welled up from the corner of his eyes.
His gaze stunned Kathy for a long time before she could collect herself.
Just now, Kathy learnt the details of the investigation. Herbert gave Peter away. She confessed that Peter was one of the conspirators who plotted against Kathy years before.
Though Kathy already guessed it out, she could not accept it.
At that time, she just broke up with Peter. Why did he hate Kathy so much?
In the car, Kathy remained silent for a long time. Though she had found out everything, she did not feel relieved.
“Madam, are you going home now?” The car driver asked her.
Kathy came back to her senses and said, “Go to AN Road Community.”
Last time, she had different views over her postgraduate study with her mother. Yet, Angela was her mother, Kathy did not mind it.
Angela’s anger came and went easily. When she saw Kathy, she still talked in a peaceful tone.
However, on thought of Kathy’s persistence on study, Angela couldn’t help worrying about her.
“Kathy, since you are so eager to continue your study, I won’t disagree to it any more. As for the baby, you must put it on your agenda.” Angela still nagged at Kathy.
Kathy didn’t have an easy expression. She prevaricated her mother’s nagging with her usual way, “I see.”
“You shall not lie to me.” Angela saw through Kathy, though Kathy had a cooperative attitude, “You must try it within one year.”
Kathy felt it was knotty. She wouldn’t have a baby even 50 years later, if she didn’t want to.
“Mom, it’s better to let it be.” Kathy admonished.
“If you have problems getting pregnant, you must tell me and I will take you to hospital to have a check. Even if you have any secret ailment, I will try my must to cure you.”
Kathy: …
Kathy left after she had dinner with Angela. Angela droned on and on about the baby thing, which put Kathy in a dilemma.
If she did give birth to a child, what kind of relationship she and Joseph would be in?
Even if they had married, there would be heaps of questions awaiting them.
Only then did Kathy realize something.
She seemed to have married on the spur of moment.
After Kathy went back to Joseph Bay, Joseph also returned.
Kathy was reviewing her lessons in her room. She hadn’t studied for three years, so it was unfamiliar for her.
It was hard for her to pick her study up.
Kathy was leaning on the table with her teeth biting the top of the pen. She followed the online courses again and again, but she was none the wiser.
