My Sweetheart novel Chapter 280

“Bertie, what do you mean?”

Kathy never would have thought that the car her grandfather sent to pick her up would also be picking Bertie up too.

And that they were both going to the same place.

“It was your grandfather who invited me to stay at your house as a guest. You perhaps did not know, but when I was younger I stayed at the Booth’s house for a period of time. Your grandfather always hoped that he would have a granddaughter, so that I could marry her.”

“You are just speaking nonsense!” Kathy interrupted him.

She was not able to believe what Bertie was saying.

However the expression on Bertie’s face made it seem like he was not lying.

“Kathy, you have to believe that our fate was destined from a very young age." Bertie raised his thin lips.

“I’m already married.” Kathy said in a rather righteous way.

“Well no one can predict what will happen in the future, Kathy, I don’t mind being with a woman who has married once before.”

Kathy was speechless for a few seconds.

“I have a very happy family now, so Mr. Marshall, please would you stay away from me!”

Bertie narrowed his eyes and said, “It seems that currently we are not on intimate enough terms with each other yet.”

Kathy pushed open the door and got out of the car, not paying any more attention to him.

Compared to the extravagant ancient castle that the Booth reside in within City N, the Booth’s estate in Country B had a European style garden which made the property seem mysterious, quiet and rather low profile.

Jennifer came out from the living room and said, “Kathy, you’ve arrived! Did Bertie arrive too?”

“Yes, Mr Booth and I have something to talk about. Therefore I'm afraid that I will be disturbing you for a short period of time here.” Bertie said politely.

Jennifer nodded, “I will go and get someone to arrange a room for you now.”

Bertie started to walk towards the study as if he had been there before. Kathy watched the back of him as he walked away; she never expected that what he had just said was true.

“Kathy, were you and Bertie on the same flight?”

“Yes.” Kathy’s face was rather indifferent, as she thought about how she would have to be living with him while she stayed here; it made her feel very uncomfortable.

Jennifer seemed to be able to sense Kathy’s emotions and therefore went to lightly pat Kathy’s shoulders and said, “Bertie’s father was very close with your grandfather, therefore that child used to often come to our home. Because of this your grandfather regarded him as half a son.”

Kathy really was not interested in anything to do with Bertie, and therefore her face remained disinterested.

As she went up to her room, she didn’t expect that Bertie would be staying in the room opposite her.

Kathy ignored him.

However Bertie stepped forward blocked her way and asked, “Tonight I will be cooking something, what do you like to eat?”

“Whatever.”

“Are you not able to be a little nicer with me? I will be staying here for quite some time; therefore you can’t just keep brushing me away giving me the cold shoulder.”

Kathy put on a serious expression and looked at Bertie, “So, let’s both just leave each other alone then.”

“Such a cruel woman, can’t we at least be friends?”

“Mr. Marshall, could it be that you have no other friends?” Kathy asked very displeased.

“Yes, not many.”

“I’m bored.” Kathy entered her room and closed the door loudly with a bang.

Bertie however had a smile on his face; he seemed to be having a lot of fun teasing this woman.

At this moment, Jennifer came up and when she passed by and saw Bertie standing in front of Kathy’s bedroom door her face darkened.

“Jennifer,” Bertie politely greeted her when he saw her.

“Why did my father make you come here at this time?” Jennifer frowned.

She remembered that before Zack did not really like Kathy and Joseph being together.

Zack once said before that if he had a granddaughter then the man he would prefer the most to be his son in law was Bertie.

And as for the Marshall family, the Booth family knew almost everything about them.

However, in the end Kathy was already married, and being her mother she did not wish to interfere too much.

Although, it seemed as if Zack was not thinking the same way as her.

“Official business.” Bertie raised his eyebrows.

…

In the evening, Kathy had a conversation with her grandfather and then planned to go to the kitchen to help prepare the food.

However she never thought that Bertie was actually serious about making the food himself.

He had always been an honourable son of a rich family, therefore she did not think that he would have the ability cook, however he seemed to be very confident in his cooking skills.
