I'm Sorry, But I Love You novel Chapter 3

As Anderson moved his leg and was about to chase after her, she had already entered the lift. “Nothing, I thought it was someone else.” It could not be her; he must have made a mistake again. “Could you mistake her for Mrs. Clark again?” Anderson turned his head away. “I’ve told you many times not to call her Mrs. Clark, she didn’t deserve the title.” Joshua rolled his eyes.

Catherine had been spending the whole day drawing comic, trying to finish it before the deadline. She then had a chat with the editor regarding the storyline afterwards. “The subscription and the percentage of reader following the story for this one is good, the hardcopy version is almost finished printed out. The platform and the readers all wish you can organize a book-signing event, so I wonder whether you have the time?”

“Maybe not, I could promise increasing the autographed edition.” Catherine rejected without a second thought. The editor still did not give up. “The book-signing event would only benefit you, it does you no harm…” Catherine actually understood what the editor said, it was just that she refused to be seen by anyone. The internet was more developed now and if she had appeared on the web, her tranquil life would be gone.

The problem which Owen encountered was difficult to handle and he had not returned home for the whole night. He only made a phone call until the next morning, telling her that he was busy and she should bring the two kids to the oceanarium herself.

“Mommy, mommy, it’s the big shark!”

“Lincoln, big shark!” Sophia was the happiest one having been able to visit the oceanarium and under her influence, a rare smile which was typical to a child his age also showed up on Lincoln’s face. “Lincoln, penguin, penguin.” Sophia put her hands on her waist and walked like a penguin. She looked amusing and adorable.

“Lincoln, follow me, hurry.” Lincoln surrendered to his little sister and he also walked like a penguin while showing an aggrieved look. With Sophia being noisy at the side, both kids were having a lot of fun in the oceanarium and Catherine was quite delighted too. It was still okay for Sophia, but for Lincoln who was smart since little, she was worried what happened back then would leave him with psychological trauma. Seeing them laughing carefreely, Catherine only hoped their childhood would always be like that.

After going out of the oceanarium, three of them had meal in the mall and was ready to go back home after finished watching a movie. Catherine held both kids’ hand and entered the lift. Spotting two young people hugging and kissing in the lift as if deeming no one was around, she covered the kids’ eyes embarrassingly.

Sophia being disobedient pushed her hand away and said, “Mommy, I want to see pretty guy and lady kissing.” The air seemed to freeze and Catherine raised her head awkwardly. “I’m sorry…”

“Mrs. Clark?” Joshua widened his eyes. Wasn’t Catherine Johnson in jail? Why was she here?

Catherine did know Joshua, he was famous as a playboy and he grew up with Anderson since little. What was he doing here? Catherine was so nervous that her heart almost jumped from her throat. She forced herself to look composed and said, “You’ve mistaken me for someone else.”

“Mommy, we’ve reached the floor, daddy’s been waiting for us.” Catherine held Lincoln’s hand and left the lift while trying to look calm. Joshua watched the back of the woman before him and scratched his head in confusion. Could it be possible that someone else had the same gorgeous looks as Catherine Johnson? Yet she seemed to have gotten married and her kids had already grown that big, therefore it should not be the same person.

“Darling, do you not love me anymore? How could you keep on looking at the other woman…” Joshua quickly cajoled her, “Of course I love you, how could I not love my little sweetheart? That person looks like a friend of mine.”
