I'm Sorry, But I Love You novel Chapter 65

Sophia didn’t speak, pushing Catherine to sit next to Anderson in the silence.

Children were the most important ones to her, Catherine had to sit beside Anderson helplessly. Since they were in the same booth, they were quite close to each other.

The distance between them was so short that they could smell the fragrance from each other.

Pretending to be unmindful, Anderson looked at the woman sitting next to him up and down. Perhaps she was quite angry just now, her eyes were still slightly reddened, and so was her nose...

She was looking at Sophia and Lincoln opposite tenderly, a smile flashing through her eyes from time to time.

Anderson looked at the scene, and his heart skipped a beat. As if to deceiving himself, he looked away and stared out of the window.

He couldn’t get her to look out of his mind still, and his Adam’s apple bobbed.

Catherine was feeding Sophia and Lincoln with the snacks before the mean, so she didn’t pay attention to the man’s change. “Don’t eat too much. We have our main courses later.”

Lincoln was eating seriously and restrainedly, extremely obedient.

Sophia’s mouth was stuffed with the snacks, making her look like a hamster that stole food. While chewing, she nodded in agreement, looking quite cute. Catherine felt that her heart almost melted when looking at them.

The food made by this private restaurant was quite good. Seeing that Sophia and Lincoln enjoyed the food very much, Catherine had a good appetite, too.

“Mommy, shall we go to see a movie together after lunch?” Sophia requested why eating.

Before Catherine answered, Anderson’s phone rang.

Subconsciously, Catherine cast a glance at him, only to find Johanna’s profile photo on his screen.

Anderson took a look and stood up to answer the call.

“Okay. I’ll be right there.”

Catherine faintly heard his words, a trace of disappointment flashing through her eyes.

Anderson hung up the phone. Picking up his coat, he said, “Enjoy your lunch. I have something to deal with.”

After finishing his words, he strode away without waiting for their responses.

Sophia watched Anderson’s receding figure in a daze. Her eyes turned red immediately. She stood up and threw herself into Catherine’s arms. “Mommy, why doesn’t Daddy like me?

“Did I do anything wrong?”

Her childish voice was in an aggrieved tone. Catherine’s heart was almost broken when she heard it.

She didn’t have the heart to hurt her daughter. Forcing a smile on her face, she explained, “Not really. Daddy has something urgent to deal with.”

“You lied to me!” Sophia burst into a louder cry. “Daddy has a new girlfriend. I know it. She has called Daddy away for so many times already.”

Sophia complained while sobbing, “He’s a bad daddy. I don’t want him.”

“Okay. Let’s dump him.” Catherine wiped Sophia’s tears off. “I’ll go to see a movie with you, Sophia. And I’ll buy a doll for you. All right?”

Sophia nodded in agreement.

After lunch, with Sophia’s hand in one hand, and Lincoln’s in the other, Catherine found a cartoon that suited the children and bought the tickets.

When waiting for the movie to play, Lincoln was writing and drawing in Catherine’s palm with his fingers.

Catherine didn’t pay attention for a moment. Later, she had noticed what Lincoln was writing. Holding hi, she kissed him on his cheek. “I love you, too, Lincoln.”

Lincoln blushed immediately. “Mommy, I’m a big kid now. Please don’t kiss me.”

“In my eyes, you are always my baby boy.”

Lincoln held Catherine’s wrist tightly. “Mommy, please don’t feel sad because of him any longer. He doesn’t deserve it.”

Upon hearing his words, Catherine felt so upset that she couldn’t even breathe.

After calming down, She rubbed Lincoln’s head gently and said, “Sometimes, I truly hope that you are not so mature.”

All the premature children had unfortunate childhoods.

All the mothers hoped that their children could be happy.

Upon hearing it, Lincoln smiled brightly. “However, my memory serves me too well. I keep everything in my mind, and I can’t forget any of them.”

He wanted to forget about them before.

It was seldom for the mother and the son to talk about his memory.

Hypermnesia was still a difficult problem for the medical field.

Although it sounded quite extraordinary, which makes others envy, every child who had this disease would know it was quite suffering.

Lincoln couldn’t forget anything. He even could remember the exact second and minute when each trifle happened.

If a child suffered from Hypermnesia could have a happy childhood and life, he or she would be the most fortunate one.

But for Lincoln, he had experienced the biggest crisis before he was born. Until now, his tragic experience always made him suffered invisibly and continuously.

Catherine asked his opinion. “How about I take you to Uncle Antonio for a checkup?”

Lincoln shook his head. “Mommy, I don’t want to forget those things now. Only if I could remember them forever would remind me that I can’t get close to him all the time.”

For a moment, Catherine didn’t know what to speak.

Anderson was an irresponsible father, and she couldn’t ask Lincoln to get close to him.

Finally, she patted her son on his back. “Let go of others is also let go of oneself.”

“Why doesn’t he let go of us, then?” Lincoln asked.

Catherine looked into his crystal clear eyes and didn’t know how to retort.

After seeing the movie with Sophia and Lincoln, they went shopping. Catherine bought Sophia a doll and a puppy for Lincoln.

The puppy was quite small with white curly hair.

Lincoln had never raised such a pet before. Holding the puppy at loss, he could no longer keep calm. He asked anxiously, “Mommy, are you sure you want to get me this thing? It’s alive.”

Catherine found that finally, he looked like a child. With a smile, she nodded. “You should take good care of it.”

The lives could heal each other. Since she couldn’t be by Lincoln’s side all the time, she wished this little life could keep him company so that he could become a bit happier.

This was the first time that Lincoln didn’t know what his mother was thinking.

Seeing that Catherine insisted, he held the puppy carefully and said, “Okay. I’ll raise it.”

Shortly, Paul called Catherine, saying that he was coming over to pick up the children.

Reluctantly, Catherine watched them leave.

Back home, she opened the comics that she stopped upgrading last time.

Every single dialogue and the line was drawn by her carefully. For her, it was like raising a child, and she watched it from being born to growing up.

When Anderson said he would give Amanda to Johanna, Catherine felt extremely hateful.

But the copyright had been sold. If Anderson was so determined to let Johanna act, Catherine could do nothing at all.

She just wished that what she said would change Anderson’s mind.

On the other side, Anderson was waiting in the hospital. The woman looked pale, lying on the bed.

Johanna said weakly, “Mr. Clark, I’m all right. Please don’t worry.”

“Okay. Stop talking,” Anderson whispered to her and didn’t mind the way she addressed him.

Johanna forced a smile. “Mr. Clark, I’m so happy that you came over to see me... During the daytime today, I kept wondering what I’ve done wrong to offend Catherine, so I didn’t pay attention and fell into the river. Fortunately, someone saved me.

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to see you again, Mr. Clark.”

With the pale face that looked exactly the same as Isabella’s, she spoke. Her bloodless lips opened and closed. Faintly, Anderson wondered if Isabella also had such a pale face when dying.

Did she also wish him to be with her at that time?
