My Sweetheart novel Chapter 200

“I don’t know his schedule.” Kathy shook her head.

Lincoln rubbed his chin with suspicion. She didn’t know?

He thought they were very close!

“How about I tell you?” Lincoln suddenly pursed his lips.

Kathy frowned. Seeing Lincoln’s evil expression, she looked away.

Lincoln’s face turned cold. This woman was always invulnerable like Joseph.

Looking at Kathy, Lincoln said, “Coincidentally, I have some business to deal with. Kathy, follow me.”

With that, Lincoln told the woman by his side to go back. He pressed the button to the first floor again.

Kathy paused for a moment. Lincoln was now her superior, she knew that. But he clearly had other intentions.

“Mr. Fletcher, what is it?” Kathy asked.

“You’ll know when we get there,” Lincoln said in an irrefutable tone.

Half an hour later, at City Club.

The club was brightly lit at night. Its manager, who was at the entrance, greeted Lincoln politely. Obviously, he was a distinguished guest.

Kathy walked behind Lincoln all the way through the luxurious gilded corridor to a private room at the end of it.

Inside were a few men dressed in suits and shirts. As soon as Lincoln arrived, the middle seat was cleared and Kathy sat down beside Lincoln somewhat awkwardly.

“These are all shareholders of HS Group. This is my assistant, Kathy,” Lincoln briefly introduced.

They were talking about business. Kathy didn’t know much about the business world, and there was no need to keep records. So she just sat quietly by his side and drank.

“Kathy, take a look at the wine we ordered. Why hasn’t it been served yet?” After a long while, Lincoln ordered.

Kathy walked out. There were corridors on both her left and right. Which corridor did she walk through just now?

There was no sign, so she paused. What she could do is choosing one randomly. Anyway, as long as she could see a waiter, it would be fine.

After wandering around for a while, she didn’t see anyone. She took a turn and saw two familiar people.

Subconsciously, Kathy immediately retreated with violent heartbeats.

“Joseph, I didn’t expect you could be so ruthless. You didn’t even give me a way out, and you arranged my marriage so considerately.” Edith looked at the man in front of him mockingly.

She had loved him for so many years, and that was how he treated her.

His heart was as hard as a rock.

Joseph was expressionless as he said indifferently, “I told you not to stay by my side.”

“You like Kathy so much and are so afraid of her misunderstanding? There is nothing between us!” Edith was even angrier. For more than 20 years, she had never seen any woman by Joseph’s side win his heart.

Joseph even treated her with indifference, never crossing the bottom line.

She thought he treated everyone like this.

However, Kathy shattered all her expectations of Joseph.

Joseph frowned coldly. “I won’t marry you even if she is not there.”

Edith couldn’t help but stumble. His words crumbled her sensitive mind.

Her tears gradually flowed out.

Edith suddenly grabbed Joseph’s arm in anger. She stood on tiptoe and looked at him dauntlessly. “Really? We grew up together. Joseph, do you really have no feelings for me?”

Edith had risked everything. She was about to get married, but she still wanted to know his answer.

With that, she stood on tiptoe, wanting to hug Joseph and kiss his lips that she longed for a long time.

Not far away, when Kathy saw this scene, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart. Edith’s back was facing her. She could only see her holding Joseph’s face and acting very intimately.

She couldn’t stay any longer…

Turning around, she stiffly took a step forward. The scene of the two hugging each other rooted in her mind.

She had reminded herself that it didn’t matter, but when seeing it with her own eyes, she was disappointed.

Seeing the woman’s face getting closer and closer, Joseph pushed her away immediately. Edith didn’t even touch him, and she staggered again. This time, she fell down awkwardly.

“Edith, save yourself some dignity.” The man’s voice was indifferent as usual.

Edith fell to the ground, and her heart ached as if it was torn apart. The reluctance in her eyes gradually turned into resentment, and she gradually clenched her hands.

At this time, the door to the private room not far away was opened. Conor walked out with his long legs. His eyes were fixed on the pale Edith, and he reached out to her.

“If you don’t want to, I can cancel the marriage.” Conor’s voice was cold.

He had a good impression of Edith, but this woman’s focus had never been on him, and he would not force her to marry him.

As the dignified commander of Country B, there were many women fighting for him. Edith had always been one of his choices.

Edith raised her eyes and calmed down. She held Conor’s hand and stood up. She shook her head and said, “I will.”

When these two words were spoken after the heartache, she could not take them back.

…

Kathy got lost again, but she finally met a waiter and reminded him of the order for the red wine. The waiter led the way and brought her back to the room.

However, when she entered, there was another person.

Kathy stiffened and walked over coldly. She still sat beside Lincoln. “Mr. Fletcher, the wine will be served soon.”

“Why do you look so bad?” Lincoln frowned.

His eyes were on Joseph.

Joseph narrowed his eyes. Kathy was sitting two meters away from him. When she passed by just now, she simply ignored him.

Kathy shook her head and sat quietly in a corner. Her mind was filled with images of Edith hugging Joseph, and she was unable to get rid of them.

The others in the room left some time ago. Lincoln handed over a glass of wine and smiled. “Have some?”

Kathy raised her eyes, and through the transparent wine glass, she met eyes of Joseph, who was sitting on the opposite sofa.

She took it expressionlessly and drank it in one gulp.

The bitter taste spread in her mouth, but it was not as bitter as the bitterness in her heart.

Lincoln looked at her in astonishment. The alcohol was quite strong, yet Kathy drank all of it…

With his hair standing on end, he looked at Joseph.

However, Joseph’s attention was completely on Kathy.

Did they quarrel?

He finally realized that when those people were still in the private room just now, they didn’t know that Joseph and Kathy were a couple.

He cleared his throat and looked like he was about to slip away. “It’s getting late. I should go back. Joseph, Kathy, you guys take your time …”

As soon as he finished speaking, he left extremely quickly, afraid that Joseph would hold him accountable.

Kathy drank a glass of wine. Her cheeks were rosy and she was dizzy. She forced herself to open her eyes. In her blurry vision, the man opposite her seemed to have walked over.

She smiled and said, “Joseph…”

But there were no feelings in her words.
