I’m Sorry But I Love You

Chapter 96

Joshua hung up the phone at once. Anderson sneered sarcastically for a short while.

Joshua wanted to explain, but he realized there was nothing there for him to explain. In the middle of the night, with Catherine and Ethan being a couple, and hearing Ethan’s voice by her side.

It was quite self-explanatory what they were doing.

This night, Anderson drank until he got totally hammered. This was the first time Joshua had seen him drink indecorously, after knowing him for so many years.

Anderson was shouting Catherine’s name.

Catherine took some iodine and cotton swab and walked towards Ethan. She sulked at him and said, “You could have just called in a waiter to fix you up, why do you have to call me over?”

Ethan lounged on the sofa like a boss, and read his comic book, “Don’t be ungrateful, I got beaten up in order to protect you from your ex-husband.”

Catherine dipped the cotton swab into the iodophor, “Don’t try to take me for a fool. I know you wanted to take on him for quite some time now, so don’t use me as an excuse.”

Ethan poked at Catherine’s head repetitively, “You are an unappreciative woman.”

“Hurry up and fix my wounds, it’s hurting so much. He threw all his punches on my face. He must be jealous of me because I am better looking than him.” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Catherine curled her lips with a sign of contempt.

“What’s with that expression? Do I not look better than Anderson?”

Catherine tried to brush him off and said insincerely, “Yes, yes, of course, you are the most handsome person ever alright.” Anderson did not have the best personality; but his facial attractiveness was still off the charts.

Although Ethan was a good-looking man too, however both Ethan and Anderson had their own distinctive style, so it was hardly comparable.

Catherine carefully applied the iodophor on Ethan’s wound and sterilized it. When she got back to her room after all the trouble, it was already past midnight.

She was afraid that she might have disturbed Gianna who should be resting, so she washed herself up in Ethan’s room before heading back.

Carefully and silently, Catherine opened the hotel room door.

“You’te back?” Gianna was playing her phone in her bed. Catherine glanced at her watch, it was already two hours past midnight, “Why are you still awake?”

“I just woke up; my kid was crying. His father called me and asked what he should do.” Gianna ranted, “Now he finally realized how hard it is for me, you have children too right, is Anderson the father of your children?”

“Does Anderson generally care about his children?”

When Catherine gave birth to Sophia and Lincoln, Anderson was absent from her life. However, on the contrary, Owen was the one who was busily occupied.

All in all, Catherine felt that she owed Owen the most.

“Before I gave birth to my children, Anderson and I got divorced.” Catherine did not say much, “Go to sleep earlier, you should take advantage of these two days and have a good time.”

After the annual dinner. Catherine got back to her normal life.

After Owen’s accident, she forced herself to live a healthier life. She woke up earlier and sketched the whole morning, while in the afternoon she would go over next door and visit Owen.

She would clean up his place. As though as in doing so, it would feel as if Owen were still around her.

After the incident at the annual dinner, there were more prospects for Catherine. She would occasionally take up some illustration cases, and among them were a popular game requesting her to draw illustrations for their in-game characters.

The requirements were high, but the pay was lucrative too. Catherine accepted the offer without a second thought.

At night, when she was having dinner with Aurora, Catherine mentioned about the offer to her. Aurora curled her lips in disdain, “Joseph is still so conscienceless; the in-game character skins that he sells for a few hundred millions of yuan, and he only pays you nickels and dimes.”

“Joseph?”

Speaking in a disgruntled tone, Aurora explained, “The offer that you accepted, the company belongs to Joseph.”

“Really?” Catherine knew about the game; it was the most popular game now in the market. She knew about Carter family, but she was not familiar with Joseph.

Aurora gave a snort of contempt, “He was not the one who designed the game, it was made by a college student who sold it to him.”

“But it was also because of him the game went viral. Sophia and Lincoln also play the game, I even topped up in-game cash for them.” Catherine hesitated for a moment as she looked at Aurora’s clothes,

then asked, “Why are you plainly dressed up today?”

Normally for Aurora, she would dress up as sexy as she could. However, today she just put on a simple white dress with some simple and light make up on her face.

“I have just accompanied that scum Joseph to a gathering. This is the dress that he has specially ordered me to wear, and he has even sent in a makeup artist. What I wear is none of his business.”

“What’s up with you and Joseph?”

Aurora put down her chopsticks furiously, “I slept with the wrong person. It was supposed to be a starlet, but there was a mistake and I ended up in his room. The most ridiculous thing is, he insisted that I should marry him.”

“Am I the kind of person who would give up the entire forest for a tree?” Catherine was quite speechless when she heard Aurora’s complaint.

“From my brother, I heard that Sophia and Lincoln miss you a lot, do you want to go visit them?” Aurora changed the topic abruptly.

Catherine’s hand which was holding the chopstick, froze for the moment there. After a slight pause, she said, “No, I’m not going. They need to get used to a life without me living by their side.”

“Nonetheless, you should give them some time to adapt. It has already been half a month. Let’s go, I’ll drive you there.” Sophia willfully dragged Catherine up, “You have yet to see how miserable Sophia and Lincoln are.”

Even though Catherine told herself that she should keep a distance from her children. But after she heard Aurora said that her two children were having a tough time, her heart ached with a suffocating pain. She did not resist when Aurora dragged her away.

After all, she was very unwilling to part ways with her children.

Aurora drove straight to Ziting Villa. The security guard knew who they were and let them through.

When Aurora and Catherine went inside, Sophia and Lincoln were talking to their therapist. When they saw Catherine, their eyes shone with excitement and they dashed towards her.

“Mommy, why did it take you so long to come see me?” Sophia suddenly burst in tears, and accused Catherine, “Are you abandoning me and Lincoln?”

Catherine could not hold back her tears after she heard what Sophia said. “Are you abandoning me?”

Catherine could not say a word. She did not choose to abandon them, but she was incapable of taking them away from Anderson.

Lincoln looked at Catherine. He smiled and said, “ Mommy, I will not resent you for any decision that you make.“ “You should have your own life, don’t let us stop you from moving forward.”

Hearing such mature words coming out from her young boy, Catherine felt an intense heartache. She hugged her two children and wept.

Anderson stood on the second floor and watched the scene that was going on downstairs.

He sneered, “In their eyes, I am the bad person who is trying to split the three of them apart.”

“Hudson, tell me, did I make a mistake?”

“Yes.”

Hudson saw what happened downstairs too, and he gave his answer without any hesitation.

Anderson chuckled, “Even if it’s a mistake, I might as well make the best out of it.”

The children were his bargaining chips.

It was like a fish lure. The children must be in his hands if he wished to tie Catherine down.

Hudson showed his disapproval on his face, “Your actions will lead Ms. Cathy’s heart to leave you further and further away.” Anderson gave a sullen face, “I don’t care.”

He did not need her heart, He only needed her to stay right under his nose where he could see her. Anderson walked downstairs with a long face. When he reached the courtyard, he heard Lincoln’s voice.

“Mommy, take care of yourself. When I grow up, I will bring Sophia and we will go and find you together.”
