I’m Sorry But I Love You

Anderson sneered and said coldly, “What an ingrate.” Lincoln frowned when he saw Anderson approaching. Catherine stood up and protected the child while glaring at Anderson and said, “Take it out onand not on the kid.” Anderson walked slowly towards Catherine and grinned as he pinched her chin, “I have no interests in these two ingrates.

However, | detest you.” “Just guess what would happen to them if you were to escape.” He warned.

Sophia was trembling as she held onto Catherine’s leg and looked at her father with her big round eyes with tears welling up inside them.

Catherine was devastated by his words and remarked, “Anderson, how could you be so vicious?” “You are worst than an animal!” She declared.

He would not resort to these measures if she did not try to escape. Anderson suppressed his fury as he scoffed, “What else can you do other than speak?” Catherine smiled bitterly.

Anderson was right. She was powerless to do anything because she was constantly oppressed by the Clark family.

“I have custody of both Sophia and Lincoln. | advise you to know your place and not create any more trouble.” Anderson warned.

Aurora fumed as she observed and said, “Anderson, can you stop threatening Catherine? Can't you see that she had suffered enough already?” Anderson looked at Aurora coldly and said, “Settle the problems with Joseph before you meddle with someone else’s family issues.” Aurora had a sheltered upbringing. Although she was afraid of Anderson, she chose to stand up for Catherine, “You and Catherine had already divorced. So what family issue are you referring to?” Anderson's expression changed immediately and warned, “I'll dump you onto Joseph if you continue to interfere.” Aurora gritted her teeth as she knew that she was in the wrong in the matter concerning Joseph. Now she could not get rid of Joseph and her family was not powerful enough to deal with Joseph.

“Aurora, there is no need to help me.” Catherine smiled helplessly and continued, “He is cruel to use the kids to threaten me.” Catherine then taunted Anderson, “What will you use to threatenif | give up the kids?” Anderson suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. What would he do if she really gave up the kids? Catherine laughed sarcastically at him and Anderson's expression started to change for the worse.

“You won't,” Anderson said.

“Anderson, | won't abandon my kids.” She walked forward and declared, “But if you forceto a corner, don’t think that | won't fight back.” She had nothing other than blood ties with her children. That was why she could not give up on them so easily.

Catherine disengaged from the encounter with Anderson. She hugged both of the kids and left with Aurora without looking back. Suddenly Sophia started to cry while Lincoln shouted at Catherine, “Mommy, you only think of yourself.” Catherine's tears started to flow as she bit down hard on her lips to prevent herself from crying aloud.

Back at the car, Aurora said regretfully, “That Anderson is despicable!” “It’s my fault. | shouldnt have brought you here!” Aurora was furious.

Catherine took out a tissue and wiped her tears and the blood on her lips, “It’s not your fault.” Aurora sent Catherine hand just before Aurora left, Catherine said, “I don’t know your relationship with Joseph but you must never lose yourself in a relationship. Don’t ever end up in my situation.” Aurora laughed, “I don’t love Joseph. Just take good care of yourself and don’t worry about me.” Aurora left with a swagger after saying.

Catherine looked at Aurora’s lofty attitude and laughed as Aurora’s arrogance reminded herself of her own behavior years ago.

Catherine washed up and then went to the study room to research and played scomputer games several times so that she could have sinspiration to illustrate the gsequences.

She had been drawing comics and she was no stranger to drawing for a computer game. However, after a night of research, Catherine had yet to start drawing for her new project.

She contacted her agent and hoped to obtain more information so that she could start drawing. Thereafter she drew for an hour on her other comics before sleeping.

On the next morning, her agent notified her that her requests had been approved.

Catherine picked out a more professional-looking attire, put on her makeup and then went to the gaming company with sof her research information.

During her research, she also conducted a search on Joseph. There was no picture of him on the intebut there was numerous information on him.

The Carter family had risen from a regularly wealthy family to an industry leader all because of an electronic game. The success of this gsprouted other games which enhanced the reputation of the Carter family.

In the recent couple of years, they started to produce short videos and were at the forefront of the social media latest trends. Each of their products was timely and fashionable. Catherine was impressed with Joseph's business acuity and talent. Catherine arrived at the Carter group lobby and waited at the reception area for her agent. A moment later, a professionally dressed lady approached her and said, “Hi, are you Miss Johnson?” “Yes, | am,” Catherine replied.

“I'm Julia Wood.” Julia extended her hand towards Catherine politely.

Catherine shook her hand and introduced herself, “Nice to meet you, I'm Catherine.” “Cwith me, followin.” Julia was beautiful with a porcelain-like complexion.

‘I did extensive research on this project but in the end, | think that it was better that | speak to the Project Manager,” Catherine explained.

“You're very detailed in your work.” Julia replied.

As they walked in, Catherine unexpectedly met Joseph in the elevator. There was a tall young lady beside him but she was not Aurora.

Joseph noticed Catherine and asked, “Miss Johnson, what brings you to the Carter group?” “I was invited by your company to participate in the creation of the New Hero project. I'm tasked with the original illustration.” Catherine replied as she looked at the young lady for a couple of seconds.

“If Mr. Carter still has Aurora’s interests at heart, please do not hurt her,” Catherine said.

Joseph looked at Catherine with his unique, lofty gaze and replied, “Miss Johnson should mind your own business.” Catherine felt unsettled with such a remark from a seemingly proper gentleman.

“Miss, is there a misunderstanding?” The young lady beside Joseph spoke out.

Catherine was shocked at the voice of the young lady and asked, “You are a man?” The ‘young lady’ nodded and said, “I was cheated and lost a bet.” After saying, he walked around Catherine a couple of times and continued, “The person whom I lost the bet to looked a lot like you.” Previous Chapter Next Chapter
