I'm Sorry, But I Love You novel Chapter 61

“What would you like to order?” With a smile, the stall owner asked while holding the menu.

Catherine looked over at Antonio. “What would you like to eat?”

“Barbecued lamb skewers, please. Make them spicy. And barbecued chicken wings...”

“I want barbecued potato chips, eggplant...”

...

They echoed each other as if Anderson wasn’t sitting there at all

The stall owner also sensed something was wrong. Looking over at the handsome man in the suit who emanated coldness all over his body, she asked gingerly, “Mister, what would you like to order?”

“Add orders to all the food they’ve ordered.”

Anderson didn’t look at the stall over. He just gazed at Catherine, who was chatting and laughing with Antonio, with his deep eyes.

His gaze couldn’t be ignored at all. Although Catherine deliberately ignored it, she still could feel the man’s anger.

What she talked to Antonio about were the things that happened when her mother was still alive. According to Antonio’s words, Catherine got to know what had happened to her mother in those past few years.

“Auntie was a strong woman and she was quite optimistic usually. Every day, she liked walking the cat,” Antonio said with a smile, “It’s quite weird ... other cats don’t like going out, but Snowy was like a dog. She would only be happy after going out for a walk every day.”

“Exactly. They wouldn’t go home until an hour later.” Catherine recalled the days when her mother walked the cat, her eyes full of nostalgia.

Anderson tried hard to suppress his urges to lift the table.

Each of them had different feelings when eating the barbecue.

After finishing eating, Antonio wanted to send Catherine back home, but she refused. She reached out and hailed a taxi, bidding Antonio goodbye after sitting in.

Antonio waved to her with a smile.

Anderson just felt that was a pain in his eyes.

After Catherine was gone, he stared at Antonio coldly. Pulling his necktie, Anderson asked, “What the hell are you doing?”

The smile disappeared from Antonio’s face. He patted off Anderson’s hand coldly. “Gentlemen always have the desire to go after the gentle and graceful far maiden.”

“I don’t allow you to...”

Before Anderson had finished his words, Antonio interrupted him. “Anderson, did you say you don’t allow me?”

With a smile, Antonio sat on the shabby plastic stool, casting a glance at Anderson casually. “What rights do you have to say that?”

Anderson was rendered speechless.

The anger in his eyes was burning like it could not be suppressed.

However, Antonio didn’t care about it at all. “Even Ethan James has the more rights to say those words than you do, after all, he’s the boyfriend whom she admits.”

“I’ll deal with Ethan James and resolve the problem. You are my best friend. You can’t have any feelings that you shouldn’t have towards her,” Anderson said in a harsh tone.

Antonio just smiled, didn’t answer.

Anderson frowned. “What are you laughing at?”

“Anderson, do you know what you are like now?” After asking him, Antonio continued with the answer, “As if your wife has cheated on you.”

Anderson looked more and more annoyed.

“But, Catherine isn’t your wife now. You’ve divorced for six years already.”

Anderson clenched his fists, having the desire to throw a punch on Antonio’s face.

Antonio took a sip of the beer and asked slowly, “Anderson, you’ve fallen in love with Catherine, have you?”

“No, I haven’t,” Anderson denied without any hesitation.

Antonio faintly smiled. “Then what’s wrong with it? She could choose to be with anyone she likes. It’s none of your business.”

“She’s the mother of Sophia’s and Lincoln’s.” Anderson’s tone had some reluctance that he didn’t notice.

Upon hearing his words, Antonio asked, “Do you know why Catherine dislikes you more and more?”

Anderson kept silent.

“When she was after you back then, she was so humble that she even bent over into the soil, so you’ve got the illusion that you could bully her in whichever way you like. No matter what you’ve done to her, in your opinion, she would like you, love you.”

Antonio gradually raised his voice. “However, you’ve never respected her. Until today, even her family was broken and her family members are all dead, she went to jail because of you for six years, she was almost dying countless times, and she’s been hiding from you after you’ve divorced for six years, you still take it for granted to think that she’s something that belongs to you.

“The mother of Sophia’s and Lincoln’s?” Antonio’s smile became deeper. “Besides she’s their mother, firstly, she is an adult with an independent personality.”

Antonio smiled as usual, but the words from him were extremely harsh.

They were like daggers that were stabbed into Anderson’s heart.

Catherine had already gone, so she didn’t know the conversation between Antonio and Anderson.

If she had stayed and heard Antonio’s words, she would definitely burst into tears.

Antonio finished the beer in his cup, called an agent of the driving service, and went back home.

Anderson was left in the smoky food stall alone.

On the second day, the news that Anderson was eating barbecue in the street food stall was on the hot search list.

The photos were blurred, but netizens could tell the men on the photos were Anderson and Antonio.

An uproar was raised online.

His fan with the ID “Anderson’s little wife” commented: “Aw! My hubby also eats such street food like an ordinary man.”

Another fan with the ID “Anderson’s first wife” commented: “Don’t compete with me for my hubby!”

Besides the comments from his fans, most of the other comments were asking: “Am I the only one who wants to know who that woman was? She has her back to the camera. Wouldn’t it be Mr. Clark’s girlfriend?”

Johanna’s agent looked at the hot discussions online and forwarded the comment to Johanna, asking, “Are you that woman?”

Looking at that woman with a slim back and her long hair was like seaweed on her back, Johanna immediately recognized that it was Catherine.

Her eyes were usually full with a sweet smile was fulfilled with jealousy and hatred.

Gritting her teeth, she replied to the agent, “No. That’s not me.”

The agent heaved a sigh. “It would be great if that were you. After revealing the news, you would become famous instantly without the necessity to play so many movies.”

Looking at the photos on her phone, Johanna thought for a while. “I’ll go to Ziting Villa tonight. Find someone reliable and shoot some photos.”

She wanted everyone to know that she was the person that Anderson was doting the most.

“But, didn’t Mr. Clark tell you not to go to Ziting Villa if there’s nothing urgent?” The agent was a bit worried.

Johanna frowned. “I’ve got something urgent.”

Catherine also saw the news online. However, the camera didn’t shoot at her face, so she wasn’t bothered too much.

After she had been working for the whole morning, she remembered that Sophia’s and Lincoln’s birthday was approaching, so she wanted to go shopping and find the birthday gifts for them.

Since she wasn’t staying with the children, she would treasure each anniversary and holiday for them. She thought it would be quite boring for her to go alone, so she called Aurora.

They had wandered around the stores that sold products relevant to kids, but they still couldn’t decide what to buy.

“What don’t you browse the gifts online? If they are not sold domestically, I’ll go abroad recently and I can bring them back to you,” Aurora suggested.

Catherine nodded in agreement. “That’s the only thing I can do now.”

“Come on. We’ve finished shopping for kids. Let’s buy a few dresses and take a look if there are any new arrivals for the bags.

“You also need to have new dresses. For Sophia’s and Lincoln’s birthday party, the Clark family will definitely hold a grand banquet. If you wear these clothes to the banquet, you would be despised by those who only knew to compare.” Aurora poked at Catherine’s clothes that were without any band.

“Do you think I’m able to appear at my kids’ birthday banquet?” asked Catherine.

She was a woman who used to go to jail. With such a criminal background, the family members of the Clark family would rather that those kids didn’t have a mother.
