Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie)

Chapter 731

He held Katherine tightly pressing her beneath him as they spent a passionate night together.

The room was filled with an intimate atmosphere.

After some time, Katherine awoke and gazed at the soundly sleeping Julian. Her eyes revealed a hint of reluctance, knowing this would be their final entanglement. She hoped he would find happiness and always remember her.

As Katherine gently stroked his brow, Julian frowned slightly. Startled, she ignored her aching body and quickly left.

After their night of indiscretion, Julian suddenly woke up. Finding himself alone, he panicked. "Katherine!"

Realizing Katherine wasn't there, Julian thought it might have been a dream. But when he woke up, he realized that this was a ward. He was in a daze and thought about last night. 'It's not a dream. Katherine was indeed with me.'

The lingering scent of her perfume and the memory of her beauty filled him with conflicting emotions. 'How can I do this? I had already agreed to be engaged to Linda but was still with Katherine.' Julian felt like a cad.

Julian left in a daze. When Katherine saw him go, she heaved a sigh of relief. She turned around and saw Louis coming over. Then, Katherine quickly approached him. "Louis."

Louis froze. "What's wrong with your neck? Was it Julian?"

Realizing what had occurred, Louis flew into a rage. "What a scoundrel! He agreed to be engaged to Linda, yet he still came after you. Bastard!" Louis was about to settle scores with Julian, but Katherine held him back. "Louis, don't. It was my choice. It was the last time. I won't pursue him anymore. I'll focus on my treatment and return to the country with you, okay? Please, just let this be. Don't say or ask anything more."

Katherine pleaded earnestly. Hearing her words, Louis clenched his fists tightly. He did not expect Katherine to be so humble when she was trapped and hurt by love.

After a long moment, he relaxed his hands. "Katherine, don't regret everything you did today."

Katherine shook her head. "I'll never regret it, Louis. Don't worry, I'll forget about him. Once is enough."

Katherine could feel Julian's passion for her. She also knew that Julian had her in his heart. 'Whatever his reasons for getting engaged, it's enough for me to own him once. I'll move on with my life.' With that thought in mind, Katherine returned to the ward to continue receiving treatment. This time, she was not crazy anymore.

Valerie was surprised to see Katherine like that, wondering how Julian had talked sense into her. After all, Katherine looked like she had gotten over it.

Katherine looked up at her. "Don't worry, Valerie. I won't refuse to let Julian go anymore."

Valerie was shocked, wondering what Julian said to make Katherine so compliant.

Now that she saw the calmness in Katherine's eyes, Valerie suddenly felt a little afraid. Something seemed wrong, but she did not ask further.

She only wanted Katherine to cooperate with treatment and stop obsessing because it would be good for Katherine's health. However, she dared not provoke Katherine and didn't mention Julian. She only quietly kept Katherine company.

Katherine remained remarkably calm for several days, seemingly no longer fixated on Julian.

Her serenity only increased Valerie's concern. Julian was about to get engaged. Outside Blue Boar Inn were flowers and luxury cars.

The scene was visible from the window, and Katherine could see it too.

This made Valerie feel sorry and worried. "Katherine, are you..."

"I'm fine, Valerie, truly. I've come to terms with it. My brother is right. We're adults now. When we talk about love, it's not just about being together it's more about fulfilling their wishes and blessings, right? As long as Julian feels happy, I'll fulfill his wish and wish him well. That's enough." Katherine smiled at her. Valerie noticed something different about Katherine's expression as if she had matured overnight.

But she couldn't quite put her finger on the change. She stood beside Katherine and took out her phone to change the subject. "Look, the baby has grown so much. When you're better, we'll return to the country, and you can see for yourself."Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Katherine took the phone, gazing at the sleeping child's face on the screen. A wave of tenderness washed over her.

Remembering her night with Julian, she couldn't help but think, 'How wonderful it would be if I could become pregnant!'

She unconsciously touched her

abdomen while watching the luxury cars heading toward the Blue Boar Inn in the distance. She knew Julian would always hold an important place in her heart. 'It's enough to have him once. I need to take care of my health now. After returning to the country, I guess it's just a matter of time before I move past my heartbreak.'

Katherine handed the phone back and lay down on the bed. She said, "Don't worry, Valerie. When I return to the country, I'll treat myself to a feast, cut my hair, and turn over a new leaf."
