My Sweetheart novel Chapter 256

“Sister, why are you so cold to me,” said Billy discontentedly.

Kathy didn’t say much during their meal.

“Don’t call me that, it’s disgusting,” said Kathy sternly.

“But you are my mom’s daughter, do you intend to deny your identity?”

“We are only related by blood, no big deal. I don’t really want to be part of the Booth family, to be honest.”

She didn’t mind having contact with the Booth family, but she still needed some time to fully accept them again.

“Is it because mom once abandoned you? So, you are rejecting us and not willing to go back.” Billy stared at Kathy, uncovering her thoughts.

“Though mom didn’t have a choice at that time, she would be ostracized by the Hilton family if she didn’t do as told.”

“The Hilton family? What did you guys do to her back then?” Kathy looked a bit worried.

“Do me a favour and I’ll tell you about it. It’s reciprocity,” said Billy as he squinted his eyes.

Kathy really wanted to learn the truth about what happened between the Hilton and the Booth family.

“Are you really going to tell me what happened?”

“I never lie to you, no?” Billy inched closer.

Kathy pushed him away, “You lie to me a lot.”

“That’s Joseph, not me.”

Kathy didn’t say anything back.

“What do you need me to do?”

“There’s a drinking event tonight. The signing of my contract will probably go much smoother with you there.” Billy smiled cunningly.

“I don’t drink and I’m not good with social interaction.” Kathy felt troubled.

“You don’t have to do anything but to sit there quietly.”

Kathy was speechless.

…

The night crept in and the evening lights were lit.

Kathy got a call from Joseph when she was on Billy’s car.

“Are you still at the Booth’s house?”

Kathy didn’t answer, she glanced at Billy.

“Yeah, I’ll be back a bit late.”

“I’ll go pick you up after my meeting.”

“There’s no need. You should concentrate on your work, Mrs. Hilton will send me home,” said Kathy in a low voice.

Joseph could sense that something was wrong judging by the tone of her voice, his eyes darkened.

Kathy quickly hung up as she felt guilty.

She wasn’t doing anything wrong with Billy, but she just didn’t want to tell Joseph the truth to avoid making him angry.

She really cared about him.

“Why does it feel like we are having an affair?” said Billy jokingly.

Kathy glared at him angrily, “Brother, you shouldn’t misuse that word.”

“We might not be siblings,” said Billy suddenly.

“Well, I wouldn’t have an affair with you either way,” answered Kathy coldly.

“Who knows, but you can always remember that I’m your number one side squeeze if we are not related by blood.” Billy inched close, there were sparkles in his eyes.

Kathy avoided his gaze and rolled her eyes.

Side squeeze my ass…

“Billy, are you a masochist? I’m really not one bit interested in you.”

“Who knows what the future can bring?”

“Nothing will change between me and you, in the past, in the present, nor the future,” said Kathy without skipping a beat.

“Are you completely in love with Joseph right now?” Billy sounded a bit discontent.

Kathy turned her head. She did express her feelings to Joseph, but his attitude still made her feel uneasy.

She firmly believed what he said, that he wouldn’t leave her side.

But she wanted affirmation from him as well.

She could feel that he harboured feelings towards her as well, but he had never once said it out loud.

Kathy suddenly felt her heart throbbing in pain.

She never thought that she would still have the courage to love someone regardless of what would happen, but she was willing to if it was for Joseph.

“My dear sister, I’ll wait patiently for the day when you’ll cry in my arms.”

“That wouldn’t happen.”

Billy squinted his eyes, this day would definitely come very soon.
