Chapter 11 I Have a Boyfriend

“Something urgent came up, so I’ll have to go first. Goodbye, everyone!” Right after finishing her

sentence, Catherine stood up.

“I’ll send you off!” Leonardo Walker followed her out because he didn’t want to be under his brother’s

control.

Since he had officially informed them about his intentions, he was going to use his own way to pursue

Catherine.

“It’s fine,” Catherine replied politely.

“Even if you have a boyfriend, we can still be friends. It’s only natural for a gentleman to drop you off.”

“Yeah, Catherine, don’t worry about it. Ryan and I still have to go home and see our parents. Let him

send you home instead, okay?”

“Come on.” Leonardo gestured like a gentleman, making it difficult for Catherine to reject him, so

she followed him behind.

When he saw them leaving, Ryan’s expression was icy cold.

Sitting in Leonardo’s convertible, Catherine wore a dim expression. She knew that she had provoked

Ryan. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“Can I get to know more about you?” Leonardo asked earnestly.

“Sorry, I have a boyfriend.” She didn’t want to give him false hope.

“But Jasmine said…”

“She doesn’t know about my boyfriend either.”

“Don’t reject me on purpose because of what Ryan said. I’m not tied down by my family. There’s no

interest or profit involved if I get married and I’m free to do whatever I want.”

“So did your brother and Jas get marry because of business interests?” Catherine didn’t know why she

asked that question. It was like she was trying to spy on people’s privacy.

Since she already blurted those words, it was impossible to take them back.

“There are interests involved, but they love each other. I think they are a perfect match.”

As soon as he answered her question, Catherine’s phone rang. She got a message came.

“Be in bed within twenty minutes!”

Catherine bit her lip nervously. She regretted having agreed to the terms according to which she would

show up whenever he demanded.

When Ryan and Jas left the VIP room earlier, didn’t they say they’re going home to visit their parents?

Couldn’t Ryan take the opportunity to sleep with his beautiful wife?

In front of her, he wanted to show off his intimacy with his wife, but now that he had the chance, he let it

go for nothing. Why was he in a hurry to settle things with her? What a b*st*rd!

“What’s the matter?” Leonardo inquired when he saw Catherine’s conflicted expression in the rear-view

mirror.

“You can drop me off here.”

“So soon?” Leonardo felt that it was a pity that he hadn’t made sure whether she was single or not.

“Yes! Thank you!” Once the car came to a complete stop, Catherine opened the door and got

out.

Getting out of the car, Leonardo stood by the road, asking, “What’s your phone number?”

“My boyfriend won’t be angry if I give out my number to other men. Bye!” Out of courtesy, Catherine

smiled at him.

A gust of wind blew past, messing up a few strands of her hair which brushed over her face. Leonardo

could feel his heart skip a beat.

What a beauty!

He still remembered the day he saw her at the wedding hall. Even though it was a wedding, and

everyone was smiling, her face was full of sorrow. It made his heart ache.

‘Does she want to tell me she has a boyfriend and

she loves him so much?’

Somehow, Leonardo felt that she was lying to him.If she was happy with her relationship, why did she

look so sad?

“Catherine…” he said in a low voice. Realizing that he wanted to say something else, she quickly

added, “Goodbye!” before leaving in a hurry.

Leonardo stared at her back in a daze. He didn’t know how to get close to her and help her out of her

misery.

Once she was out of his line of sight, Catherine hailed another taxi to the apartment Ryan had

arranged for her. However, Ryan wasn’t there when she got home.

Was he doing this on purpose because he was

afraid that she would stay with Leonardo for the

rest of the day?

Maybe he and Jas were already…

Heaving a sigh, she thought that she could get some fresh air since Ryan didn’t come. The apartment

was too stuffy and suffocating.

Just as she reached the door, she heard a key inserted into the lock. The door opened, Ryan’s icy cold

face appeared.

“I’ve told you to wait for me in bed! You didn’t listen anymore, did you?!”

‘He thinks I’m trying to welcome him back home? He’ so narcissistic. He probably didn’t know that the

young woman who had always welcomed him home had ‘died’ long ago.

Without fetching his slippers for him, she turned around and went straight to the bedroom

emotionlessly.

He would always want her. It was useless, no matter how much she resisted. Moreover, this was her

duty.

After taking off her shoes, Catherine climbed into bed and unzipped her light purple dress, swiftly

undressing herself.

When Ryan had changed into slippers and walked into the bedroom, she was already lying in the bed

blankly.

Her lifeless face and resentful eyes didn’t arouse his interest at all. Instead, impatience and resentment

surged in his heart.

Bending down, he pinched her chin and mocked her through gritted teeth, “Are you that impatient?”

“You’re the one who can’t wait. I’m just doing my

part,” Catherine responded coldly.

“Come on, don’t you want to do this?”

Ryan almost wanted to flip out after seeing her indifferent attitude, but he didn’t want to be irritated by

the slightest words from this woman.

Scanning her body from top to bottom, he commented cynically, “Well, I think I’m getting sick of your

body.”

“Great. Good for Jas if we end our relationship,” Catherine answered indifferently. He didn’t notice there

was a trace of reluctance in her voice.
