My Sweetheart novel Chapter 437

She met eyes with the man with a handsome face. Kathy shook her head repeatedly.

Today should be the first time they had ever met each other.

She might have seen him just now from afar in the backyard, but that was it.

The man looked disappointed. He helped her with directions last time, but she didn’t seem to remember him.

“Are you lost again?” he asked.

Kathy looked at him puzzledly, again?

Could it be…

She finally remembered. No wonder his voice sounded so familiar.

It was hard to forget such a deep and husky voice.

Not long ago at Joseph and Ella’s wedding banquet, she got lost and this man gave her directions.

“I am indeed lost again,” she said awkwardly, but she was less tense than before.

“I’ll lead you out of here.” The man threw away his cigarette butt and made a gentleman gesture beckoning Kathy to go on first.

“Thank you.”

Kathy tried to look for Joseph when they arrived at the resplendent terrace in the garden.

A glass of alcohol was brought in front of her, “Have some champagne, this has low alcohol content.”

Kathy didn’t take the glass from him. She thanked him once more and walked to the other side.

The man wanted to go after her, but he was quickly surrounded by women in sexy dresses.

“Hey mister, are you alone?”

Reece was used to flirtatious people like them. He smiled mischievously and hugged one woman by her soft waist and squeezed it.

“I’m not interested in you.”

He said dispassionately and walked into the crowd.

…

Joseph was talking to a few guests by the pool.

Ella followed him the whole time.

She ran up to Joseph as soon as he was alone.

She didn’t notice that the floor by the pool was slippery and just when she was about to fall into the pool, Joseph pulled her back like the gentleman he was.

Ella planted her face on his shoulder, she hurt herself slightly.

“I’m sorry about this,” she said as she held onto Joseph's arms.

“Ella, let go.” Joseph had already let go of her, but Ella didn’t do the same.

Joseph was getting furious, but Ella wasn’t afraid this time.

“I think I twist my ankle. I couldn’t stand properly,” said Ella in a soft tone.

Joseph frowned, but still, he let go of her heartlessly.

Ella fell to one side, though she managed to stand on her own feet.

Joseph turned away coldheartedly and didn’t bother to look at her.

Reece who was nearby walked over and helped his sister sit down on a chair nearby.

“You shouldn’t have come.”

Ella bit her lips and tried to hold her tears, her eyes were already red.

“I have to marry him!”

Reece squinted, “I will help you, but now you have to listen to me and return to country C.” “I’m not going! Mom had another marriage arranged for me. I wouldn’t fall in love with anyone but Joseph!” said Ella angrily.

“We have to put on an act, my dear sister. First, we have to make mom let her guard down.”

Ella believed his words half-heartedly. He was her brother, but they weren’t related by blood. She was always quite afraid of him.

But she knew how controlling he could be and didn’t dare to disobey him.

Though, she still wanted to see Joseph again before that.

…

Kathy couldn’t find Joseph anywhere. She bumped into Keira who brought her to the dressing room just now.

She was holding Julian’s arm as she smiled gently.

She took long strides in her high heels and walked towards Kathy when she spotted her.

Julian came with her as well.

Kathy was walking towards the exit and Keira immediately asked when she came by, “Miss Kathy, are you leaving already? The party hasn’t ended yet.”

“Yeah.” Kathy nodded.
