Chapter 947 âIf thatâs your decision then letâs do it your way, Katharine said, visibly relieved She had initially wanted to help her brother, but Peterson had immediately brought up the issue of interests. Without any personal gain, there was no need to sacrifice the rest of her life.
Seeing Katharine visibly relax, Peterson curiously asked. âWhy are you the only woman who has discussed marriage with me but doesnât want to marry me?
Petersonâs directness prompted Katharine to be open about it. âBecause I already have someone I love âI see,â Peterson responded.
What about you?â During their conversation, Katharine had completely relaxed and playfully smiled as she questioned Peterson. âIf you claim that you donât need marriage o secure the familyâs status, why do you keep meeting those potential alliance panners over and over again?â
Because when I choose a partner, I also have to consider their family background and social status.â
Peterson paused before continuing, âOtherwise, Iâll end up like my brother, constantly arguing with his wife Catharine was puzzled, âWhy would they argue?â
Peterson responded while driving. âOnly through arguing can they resolve the conflicts ausing from differences in family background and education Naturally, Katharine understood this. âSo youâve had such an experienceâ
Peterson raised an eyebrow, âYeahâ
His current demeanor was in stark contrast to his previous gentlemanly image, which made Katharine burst into laughter.
The tension between the two had completely dissipated. They exchanged contact information After a leisurely drive around town, Peterson dropped Katharine at her place As Katharine was unbuckling her seatbelt, she noticed a shadow lurking in the corner near her front door.
She paused if she wasnât mistaken, that shadow was Caleb âLooks like the guy youâve fallen for has the hots for you too.â
Petersonâs calm voice brought Katharine back from her thoughts.
âHe rejected meâ
Meaning he wouldnât fall for her.
âDo you want to test him?â
âHow?â
Katharine turned to look at the excited Peterson Without answering her, he got out of the car, walked over to the passenger side, and extended his hand to her.
âJust pretend that our date went swimmingly, and letâs see if he comes outâ
Katharine figured the scaredyâcat Caleb wouldnât dare, but she still played along and placed her hand in Petersonâs.
He led her towards the Spencer familyâs front door, occasionally slowing down to adjust Kathanneâs hair messed up by the wind.
âForgive me if my acting is a bit rusty, itâs my first time.â
Katharine found Peterson quite amusing and couldnât help but chuckle.
Her soft and tranquil smile made Caleb clench his fists Katharine usually wore a cold hard expression, rarely did she smile like this, but now she was grinning at Peterson.
Feeling uneasy. Caleb didnât want to see Katharine smiling at other men But..
It was actually Caleb who gave up first, wasnât it?
Even though it made him uncomfortable, he had to silently endure it âWhat does the person you love do? Peterson seemed surprised that Katharine would love a bodyguard But everyone has their own choices, and Peterson didnât comment since he didnât know the reasons.
âWeâre at the doorstep now Letâs embrace each other, and if he doesnât come out, then I can only suggest you give up.â When Katharine heard those words, she chuckled bitterly She had already given up, but she responded when Peterson hugged her.
The sight of the two tightly embracing each other was seen by Caleb, as if they had a mutual understanding and had already confirmed their relationship. He felt his heartbeat accelerate, wanting to rush forward and separate them, but he suppressed his emotions.
In the face of the mission, he couldnât prioritize women. It was something Mr. Penrod had always taught them since they were young, and Caleb kept it firmly in mind.
âNo need to test him anymore, I admit defeatâ
Hearing this, Peterson let go of Katharine and looked at her sympathetically Peterson stepped back, looking at the Spencer familyâs front door âGo in, Iâll handle things with your fatherâ
Katharine thanked Peterson and asked where he would be staying tonight, considering he had come specifically to see her 1 will return to my country overnight to meet the next alliance partner,â Peterson replied.
Katharine smiled and said, âWell, I wish you successâ
Peterson raised an eyebrow at Katharine, then turned and got into his car.
Katharine watched the car drive away before slowly walking towards her home..
â
10DE IN Just as she was about to push open the door, she stopped in her tracks, as if waiting for Caleb to come over.
However, she waited for a long time, but there was no sign of him. Katharine gave up completely.
