Chapter 255
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 255<\/p>\n
Kathy\u2019s phone rang, it was Jennifer.<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Hilton.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy was used to calling her that.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy, did you meet your grandfather yesterday?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEven I didn\u2019t know that my father was back in town. Was it surprising for you yesterday?\u201d asked Jennifer worriedly.<\/p>\n
She was busy dealing with the matters of the Booth Group recently and she didn\u2019t pay attention to her father\u2019s whereabouts.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was fine, grandfather told me a lot of stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy, will you forgive me?\u201d Jennifer\u2019s voice was trembling.<\/p>\n
She always wanted to make it up to Kathy.<\/p>\n
She wanted Kathy to come back to the Booth family.<\/p>\n
But she was afraid that Kathy wouldn\u2019t give her the chance.<\/p>\n
Kathy stayed silent. Her grandfather did mention that Jennifer abandoned her because the Hilton family was instigating her. Though the incident deeply scarred her, and it still bothered her until today.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy, I know that you\u2019ll need some time. I will wait for you. I will wait until you can accept me and the Booth family again no matter how long it takes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy walked out of the living room after hanging up the call. Joseph had prepared breakfast.<\/p>\n
She walked into the kitchen and hugged him from behind.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you were me, would you forgive the family that once abandoned you?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n
The expression in Joseph\u2019s eyes turned sinister and ruthless after hearing what Kathy said, he gave off a frightful presence.<\/p>\n
But Kathy didn\u2019t notice as she was immersed in her own thoughts and emotions.<\/p>\n
Joseph turned around and held her hand after a brief pause, he looked at her with a sharp gaze and said, \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
No\u2026<\/p>\n
He answered without any hesitation.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me know immediately if anything happens, I will dispatch my underlings to protect you,\u201d Joseph repeated himself to Kathy before he left.<\/p>\n
He was willing to give her space under the premise that she stayed safe.<\/p>\n
Kathy nodded, \u201cThey won\u2019t hurt me, they are my family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jennifer arrived at the Joseph Bay after half an hour and Kathy got into her car.<\/p>\n
Another black car was parked far away from them<\/p>\n
The black car trailed behind Jennifer\u2019s after they started the engine.<\/p>\n
After an hour, Kathy arrived at the mysterious yet extravagant castle-like mansion again.<\/p>\n
She was perturbed and was hesitant to get off the car.<\/p>\n
Jennifer said to her gently, \u201cDon\u2019t worry, Kathy. Mom will be by your side.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mother.<\/p>\n
Kathy\u2019s brow flinched, but there was no expression on her face.<\/p>\n
In her heart, only Angela fit the title of being her mother.<\/p>\n
Kathy then got off the car. Jennifer looked disappointed, as Kathy didn\u2019t say anything back to her.<\/p>\n
Zack was playing golf in the garden,<\/p>\n
The castle-like mansion was located in front of a green mountain, the landscape was spectacular.<\/p>\n
\u201cFather.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zack didn\u2019t answer, he was focused on playing golf.<\/p>\n
Although he was getting old, he was still full of vim and vigour. But his body got tired after a while and he had a mild asthma attack.<\/p>\n
The butler on stand-by quickly gave him his medicine.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy, do you know how to play golf?\u201d Zack turned around and looked at his granddaughter lovingly.<\/p>\n
Kathy shook her head, she had never ever played golf in her life.<\/p>\n
\u201cFather, take a rest.\u201d Jennifer went up to help him sit down.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you here?\u201d Zack sounded unhappy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was worried because you didn\u2019t tell me that you were back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s nothing to worry about, I\u2019m not dead yet,\u201d said Zack angrily.<\/p>\n
Kathy grimaced, it was obvious that Zack and Jennifer didn\u2019t have a good relationship.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandfather, you are as fit as a fiddle, don\u2019t worry,\u201d said Kathy as she tried to comfort her grandfather.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zack\u2019s expression immediately turned pleasant.<\/p>\n
Kathy smiled awkwardly and said, \u201cMrs. Hilton\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCall me mom, okay?\u201d Jennifer interrupted Kathy.<\/p>\n
Kathy wore a heavy expression, she couldn\u2019t bring herself to say that.<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry, I\u2019m rushing it. But your grandfather was very concerned about your wellbeing ever since he found out about you. The Joseph family is mysterious and complicated, I also don\u2019t wish for you to be together with Joseph,\u201d said Jennifer sincerely.<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned, she didn\u2019t like them meddling with her personal matters.<\/p>\n
Jennifer noticed the change in Kathy\u2019s expression, she was now a bit unhappy with Kathy.<\/p>\n
But she maintained her smile and said to Kathy, \u201cHave dinner with mom later, okay? There\u2019s no saying no.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathy agreed with Jennifer\u2019s suggestion as she had nothing else to do today.<\/p>\n
The restaurant was located in the heart of the city, Jennifer reserved a private room.<\/p>\n
But for some reason, Billy was also in the room.<\/p>\n
Jennifer\u2019s expression changed, \u201cWhy are you here, Billy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard that you were going to have dinner with Kathy. I\u2019m here to sponge a meal.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have no business here.\u201d Jennifer sounded a bit angry.<\/p>\n
\u201cReally? Kathy, do you mind if I have dinner with you guys?\u201d Billy asked Kathy directly.<\/p>\n
Kathy pursed her lips. Billy always called himself her brother, she couldn\u2019t reject his request and thus she said coldly, \u201cDo whatever you want.\u201d<\/p>\n
But she also felt a slight relief with Billy around, as it wouldn\u2019t be as awkward to be with Jennifer.<\/p>\n
\u201cMind your manners,\u201d said Jennifer sternly.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, mom,\u201d said Billy in a peculiar tone of voice.<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned, there was something unusual about Billy.<\/p>\n
Jennifer received a call shortly after she ordered some dishes. Something happened at Booth Group and she had to hurry off to deal with the matter.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy, I\u2019ll take a rain check on dinner with you, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGo ahead, Mrs. Hilton,\u201d answered Kathy indifferently.<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, why is Joseph here with you?\u201d asked Billy.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has to work, Mr. Hilton. Unlike you who always bum around,\u201d answered Kathy sarcastically.<\/p>\n
Billy snickered, \u201cI see that is how you see me. But I also see that you guys are getting close, you are starting to protect him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-921","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
