Chapter 948 York got home and saw Katharine zoning out in the living room, which was a bit of a bummer. He gave her a onceâover with his eyes.
âPeterson just called said heâs not that into you Did you turn him down?â
When he proposed the arranged marriage to the Sharp family, York brought a photo of his daughter Peterson agreed to meet after seeing the picture, saying sheâs not bad.
There was a golden opportunity right in front of them, but after the meeting, Peterson suddenly backed out. York, having been through his fair share of young love, knew exactly where the problem lied âDad, Peterson said that even if I marry him, he wonât be able to provide any resources for the Spencer familyâ Katharine said.
Upon hearing this, York furrowed his brow but neither agreed nor disagreed. He took off his coat and sat across from Katharine âAs long as you marry him and cultivate a relationship with him, he will gradually provide resources in consideration of your reputationâ York responded.
âPeterson may seem easygoing on the surface, but he has a very stubborn personality and wonât make concessions for a woman,â Katharine sighed deeply âYouâve only met him once How can you understand what kind of person he is?â
Katharine sighed again. âDad, I also want to help you, but clearly, Peterson doesnât have any special feelings for me. If he did, he wouldnât have been so direct with his words. Weâre both adults, and we understand this reality, donât we?â
York wanted to say more, but seeing the exhaustion on Katharineâs face, he remained silent.
His daughter had always listened to him without rebelling, and in addition, despite arranging so many men for her, none of them had any special feelings for her. Peterson couldnât be an exception either.
With this in mind, York sighed again, âLook at you, youâre not ugly, just a bit too strong. Why canât anyone feel anything special for you?â
Robin, walking in from the door, snorted coldly. âIf no oneâs into you, just stay at home I can afford to take care of youâ
This remark sounded more like a jibe Katharine retorted. âRobin, youâre no better...â
Oneâs got depression, the otherâs got a bad temper They both had their own issues, no oneâs in a position to mock anyone.
Thinking about his children, York felt a headache coming on âSort your own mess outâ
He picked up his coat and went upstairs.
After York left, Robin sat down and asked. âThat jerk didnât show up?â
Kathanne shook her head then nodded. âHe did, but didnât have the guts to see me Robin chuckled at the coward, then glanced at Katharine. âIf youâre into bodyguards, why not switch to another one? Nathanâs not bad Katharine let out a speechless sigh, âRobin, figure out what likeâ means before you try to console me.â
She picked up the pillow in her arms, got up, and went back to her room. After washing up, she lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling In the middle of the night, after the lights in the Spencer familyâs mansion had all been extinguished, Caleb climbed onto the windowsill, pushed open the window, and skillfully made his way to Katharineâs bedside Bathed in the moonlight that streamed in from outside, he gazed at the sleeping Katharine for a while, then gently touched her cheek. As his hand made contact with her face, Kathanneâs hand inside the covers trembled slightly, as if she knew who it was, but she didnât open her eyes.
Caleb released his hand and then leaned down to plant a gentle kiss on her forehead. His actions were tender, but they seemed to carry a sense of reluctance, as if bidding a final farewell. After the kiss, he stepped back and walked away.
âIm sorryâ Caleb whispered softly, releasing his hold on Katharine and turning towards the windowsill.
Just as he was about to jump off, Katharineâs voice came from behind, âIf you leave like this, never come looking for me again...â
Caleb froze in place, turning his head to see Katharine lifting the covers and walking towards him. Caleb had expected her to come and slap him hard, but he hadnât anticipated the calm expression on her face, devoid of any trace of anger.
This side of Katharine was something Caleb had never seen before. It seemed like she had let go of him. Realizing this, Calebâs heart was in turmoil.
âKatharine, I...
âDid you come here this late just to sneak a kiss?â

Katharine cut him off, took a step forward, and looked up at Caleb sitting on the windowsill.
âDo you still crave my body, is that why youâre here to bother me in the middle of the night?â
âNoâ
Caleb shouldnât have come, but he couldnât control himself. What could this mean?
It only meant that he liked Katharine, just not as intensely as others, and was still somewhat rational, not losing control He came here just to say goodbye quietly. He never thought about getting Katharine back, but he didnât expect to be discovered by her Caleb was at a loss for words, unable to say anything âThen why did you come looking for me âI came just to say goodbyeâ
Upon hearing this, Katharine laughed.
I see. Well, since youâve said goodbye, you can leave nowâ
She gestured towards the window, signaling Caleb to leave
