Katherine turned to look at Hector and nodded. "Hector is indeed a good man. He should find a good
woman in the future."
Hector raised his eyebrows and stared at Katherine. "Really?"
"Really," Katherine said seriously. "Believe me. You have such a pleasant character, and you must be
popular among girls. You’ll definitely find a good woman."
Hector smirked. "A good woman… I hope what you said becomes real."
While the three were waiting for the food to be served, they talked about the issues of Bennett & Co.
The Bennett family did investment business. In fact, Hector was not good at it, and didn’t know much
about risk assessment.
However, Kyle thought nothing of it. "Get an expert, and ask him to assess the risk for you. I heard it
from Isabella before. Some experts make accurate assessments, and almost all their plans hit the
mark."
Hector sighed. "To tell you the truth, I’m not happy working in the company."
Kyle looked at Hector and comforted him. "You’ll get used to it over time."
After that, something seemed to pop into Kyle’s mind, and he said immediately, "By the way, let me tell
you something. The other day, I got a 3D printer…"
Katherine thought Kyle was about to rave about his high-tech product, but he changed the subject
abruptly. "The installer told me that he had seen your mother in another city a few days ago."
Katherine was stunned. "The installer knew Hector’s mother?"
Kyle opened his mouth, not knowing how to put it.
Hector dropped his eyes, smiled and said, "My mother used to be a D-list star. She’s not famous, but
many people may find her familiar, and they probably will remember her when seeing her."
Katherine murmured, "That’s why."
Hector paused and asked Kyle, "What did that installer say about my mother?"
Kyle heaved a sigh. "Nothing special. He just said that he saw your mother performing in a bar. It had
been a long time since he had last seen her, and it didn’t occur to him that a has-been would still
perform in a bar nowadays."
Hector didn’t know how his mother had been either. He thought a moment before saying, "Actually, she
loves singing. She used to say she acted to sing."
However, she did a poor job of acting and singing. After she met Kevin, she became a loser in life.
Now she was getting older, and there must be a lot of pressure on her to perform again.
Katherine didn’t know the story behind all this before, so she exclaimed, "I admire her courage. It’s
great that she can break away from the worldly shackles and do what she loves. It doesn’t matter if
she’s getting old, 'cause who doesn’t?"
Kyle echoed, "Exactly. When I get old, I might not be so courageous as she is."
Katherine got amused. "Stop looking down on yourself. You’re bolder than you think you are, and you
can also do whatever you like with your boldness."
The subject was heavy, but the atmosphere was livened up instantly by Katherine’s taunt.
Kyle gritted his teeth. "You hurt my feelings. I’m sad. I’m having a heartache. I cannot breathe. Hex,
help me."
Kyle collapsed on the table slowly in an exaggerated way.
Hector got used to it and cast a glance at Kyle. "Katherine is right. What she says makes sense."
Katherine burst into laughter.
Kyle sat up slowly and rolled his eyes. "Why are you always on her side? You’ve never been on my
side. If she wasn’t married, I could totally see you two became a couple."
Katherine raised her eyebrows. "What a naive boy! I don’t think you understand the relationship
between Hector and me. We appreciate each other, and it’s beyond the affection between men and
women. I don’t blame you if you find it hard to understand."
Hector threw a glance at Katherine and gave a faint smile, as if deep in thought.
The three of them chatted and joked until the food was served.
Kyle rose to his feet again.
However, this time, before he could talk, Katherine and Hector took out their phones immediately.
Hector said first, "I knew it. 'It’s such a pleasure to have dinner with my two good friends again.'"
Katherine failed to hold back the laughter and burst out laughing.
Kyle stared at Hector and grinned. "Hex, you’ve changed. You’re misled by Katherine."
Hector couldn’t help but laugh too.
It had been a long time since he had been so relaxed and happy.
Hector and Katherine took pictures and posted them online as Kyle said before the three of them
started to have dinner.
At first, Kyle looked down upon this restaurant, but when he started to eat, he ate the most.
Katherine didn’t look at her phone during the whole dinner until the bill was paid and the three of them
left.
Marshall sent her a message, asking her when she was going home.
It had nothing to do with him. Katherine thought to herself.
Katherine put her phone away, ignoring Marshall.
After the good dinner, Kyle was still in the mood. He didn’t want to go back to the clubhouse,
suggesting that they hung out for a while.
Katherine didn’t want to go home either and nodded at once. "Great! I also want to hang out."
Finally, someone was on his side, and Kyle got even more excited. "Let’s go. I know a place. Let me
show you guys."
Kyle took Katherine and Hector to the underground street.
At this time, the shops along the underground street were all closed, but there was a piece of open
space at the entrance, on which there were quite a few wandering singers singing with their musical
instruments.
They should perform here every day as they were surrounded by many people looking like fans.
Kyle stopped near the crowd with Katherine and Hector and said in a low voice, "After what happened
to the Bennett family, I didn’t hear from Hex at all, so I asked people to look for him from place to place.
Later, I heard that some wandering singers formed a band here. I thought Hex was among them, and I
came over, but it turned out he wasn’t there."
Both Katherine and Hector were stunned.
Katherine turned to look at Kyle.
Rarely, Kyle looked so serious.
The band was performing rock music, and the atmosphere was brought to the boiling point.
Hector knew the period Kyle was talking about, and explained, "I already left this place at that time."
Kyle grunted, "I figured that out later."
Katherine looked at the two of them, but didn’t ask them what had happened at that time.
It couldn’t be something good, or else Hector wouldn’t have run away from home.
It wasn’t hard for one to figure out what happened that drove Hector away in the Bennett family.
Hector waited a moment and walked over when the band finished this song.
Katherine stared at him from afar. It was unknown what Hector said to the singer, but the singer nodded
and handed a guitar to him.
Hector just stood there, singing and playing a love song.
Since he was a gentle-looking man, and his voice was so attractive, the lookers-on drew closer to him
gradually.
Katherine took out her phone, took a video, and posted it online after thinking.
After that, Kyle gave a smile. "Look at Hex. If he was born into a normal family, he should have become
a better man."
Katherine said nothing, for everyone only lived once.
If she was born into a normal family, she might have been a better woman.
In that case, people wouldn’t size her up when she stood next to Marshall.
But now, she could only let that thought wander in her mind.
