I'm Sorry, But I Love You novel Chapter 84

The more she listened, the more annoyed Johanna looked. Her gloomy eyes were quite conflicted on her pretty face.

“Is it for real?”

“Yes, it is. All guests who stayed in Sky Club overnight have known about it. I knew an infamous actress, who was accompanying Mr. Darcy there. When they were having fun, Mr. Clark’s men broke in, saying that they were looking for a woman.”

The agent looked quite anxious. She knew clearly that the more popular Johanna would be, the more money she would make. She also realized that Johanna became famous because Mr. Clark wanted her to be. In case Mr. Clark didn’t like Johanna any longer, the agent was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to make such a high salary any longer.

Recalling Anderson’s questions to Catherine in the hospital this morning, Johanna realized that Anderson was looking for Catherine last night without thinking twice.

She was sure that Anderson loved Catherine, but he didn’t get it yet.

She decided to get rid of Catherine when Anderson hadn’t realized his love for Catherine yet.

In that case, Anderson would belong to her completely.

Also, she realized the two kids were her biggest trouble.

They were the bonds between Catherine and Anderson, which couldn’t be cut off. As long as those two kids existed, they wouldn’t break up clearly. A trace of viciousness flashed through Johanna’s eyes.

‘Catherine Johnson, you can’t blame me for being so ruthless! If you want to blame someone, you should blame yourself for pestering Mr. Clark!’

Nydia Gonzales, Johann’s agent who had been working for her for a long time, saw Johann’s eyes. She felt a chill rising from her spine. Suppressing the fear in her heart, Nydia asked in a low voice, “How far have Mr. Clark and you gone?”

Upon hearing her question, Johanna looked more annoyed.

Nydia studied her expression and said in a surprise, “Hasn’t Mr. Clark had sex with you yet?”

Johanna casted a cold glance at her. “Lower your voice! Mr. Clark treasures me a lot. He wouldn’t have sex with me at random.”

Nydia answered yes immediately, but she laughed disdainfully inwardly.

If a man didn’t want to have sex with a woman, that meant he didn’t love her at all. If Mr. Clark was interested in Johanna, why would he love her in such a way?

Johanna knew that she couldn’t go on like this. Otherwise, in Anderson’s heart, she would always be Isabella’s substitute. Squinting, she whispered in Nydia’s ears.

Nydia understood and nodded in agreement.

In the hospital…

After the drips on both kids were finished, Catherine finally had a chance to nap.

However, she had nightmares again. She opened her eyes in the cold sweat.

Owen reached the glass of warm water to her mouth considerately. “Did you have a nightmare again?”

Taking over the water, Catherine asked in a hoarse tone, “Why are you here, Owen?”

“I’m worried about you. I went to your apartment but couldn’t find you. Then I called Antonio and he told me both Sophia and Lincoln are sick.”

Owen didn’t tell her what Anderson had done in Sky Club last night.

Catherine took a sip of water and wet her throat. “Nothing serious. They got flues. Lincoln was afraid that I would be worried, he didn’t tell us first. His flue is a bit more serious because of the delay.”

Probably he sensed some movements next to him, Lincoln opened his eyes dizzily. As soon as he saw Owen, his eyes lit up. “Uncle Owen, I missed you!”

Owen bent over and held Lincoln in his arms. “I missed you, too.”

Shortly after Lincoln woke up, so did Sophia. When seen Owen, both kids were quite excited. They asked to go out for fun with him.

“It’s quite cold outside. You both are sick. You can’t go out now. How about let’s play a video game?” Owen was quite patient with the children.

“Great! I haven’t played a game for a long time. Daddy doesn’t allow,” Sophia complained with a pout. “Mommy, join us, please!”

She hadn’t seen her children for a long time, and both of them were still sick, so Catherine wouldn’t stop them from playing the game right now. “I’m not good at it. You can’t dislike me because of it later.”

Sophia blinked her watery eyes and said, “Uncle Owen will protect you. Don’t be afraid. Uncle Owen, you’ll protect Mommy, right?”

Owen gazed at Catherine, a trace of affection flashing through his eyes in secret. “Of course. I’ll be protecting her for all her life.”

He sounded so solemn as if he was confessing his love to her.

Catherine immediately shook her head. “I can protect myself. As long as I could be tricky.”

Owen kept his promise. During the game, he always stood in front of Catherine protectively and let Catherine become the winner.

Lincoln also took care of Sophia in the game, so she was quite happy. From afar, her laughter could be heard.

When Anderson approached the door of the ward, he heard the laughter coming from the inside. He couldn’t help but pause. Looking through the window on the door, he saw them lying on the sofa lazily with relaxed and natural smiles. Even Lincoln, who always looked serious, smiled slightly while leaning by Owen’s side.

None of Sophia, Lincoln, and Catherine had such relaxed smiles in his presence before.

It looked as if they were a family.

Upon realizing it, Anderson felt quite uncomfortable, the jealousy surging in his heart unconsciously.

They were his woman and children!

Why were they so close to Owen?

He wanted to push the door open and break into the ward, but subconsciously, he was afraid to break the harmony and happiness inside the ward.

In the ward, all of them were fully concentrated on playing the game. None of them noticed Anderson who was peeing at the door.

After another round ended, Sophia lay prone on Owen and played at being cute, “Uncle Owen, how wonderful if you were our father!”

Recalling what Anderson had done, she felt quite aggrieved. “I don’t want Anderson Clark to be my father anymore. He doesn’t like me, my brother, or Mommy.”

Kids were quite sensitive. Sophia knew it clearly that Anderson didn’t like her at all. However, she truly wished that she would have a father.

“Uncle Owen, could you become the father for my brother and me?”

She stared at Owen expectantly with an innocent look.

Turning around, Owen looked at Catherine and said with a smile, “We need to ask your mommy for her opinion.”

In this second, Anderson, who was peeping at the door, was afraid that Catherine would agree to Owen and afraid of the answer that she would give him.

He could still recall that after attempting suicide, Catherine told him that she was marrying Owen.

In an instant, he pushed the door of the ward open.

All of them looked over at the door together. When seeing Anderson, all of their relaxed smiles vanished instantly.

Anderson looked more annoyed.

How could his children dislike their father so much?

Walking to Owen, Anderson asked him coldly, “Why are you here?”

Owen stood up, still with a smile, which had turned colder. “Why? Mr. Clark, think you have the right to stop me from visiting my friend?”

Anderson went furious. Reaching out, he grabbed Owen’s tie. “I’m warning you. Stay away from them.”

Sophia and Lincoln were freaked out. Reaching out to grab Anderson’s leg, they shouted, “Let go of Uncle Owen!”

Catherine frowned. “Anderson Clark, please don’t make trouble. If you don’t let go of Owen, I’ll call the security.”

Anderson turned around and looked at Catherine. Pressing his thin lips, he had a mocking look on his face. “Owen? You call him so intimately, huh?”

Catherine was a bit annoyed. She had grown up with Owen since childhood and she had been calling his first name since she was quite young. Anderson did know it.

“Please let go of Owen Torres. Are you happy now as I’m calling his full name?” Catherine looked annoyed. “Could you please don’t pull others into the grudge between you and me?”
