“Yes.” Katherine Jordan answered, as if she did not know Lydia had seen Lucas Grant walked with her.
Lucas Grant turned around and looked at Katherine Jordan, “I’ll go in first. You just walk slowly, don’t
worry.”
Katherine Jordan waved her hands to Lucas Grant and then she went on walking to the back door.
Lydia stood still and looked at the sight of Katherine Jordan’s back for a few minutes. Then she turned
and followed Lucas Grant to comeback.
When she entered the living room with Lucas Grant, she asked, “Why did you go together with her?
Where did you meet?”
Lucas Grant was a bit surprised. He turned and looked at Lydia, “Don’t you have to go out? Why you
come back?”
Lydia went on without regard to Lucas Grant’s question, “What did you say when you two went all the
way? Tell me, when you two met, what did you talking about!”
Lucas Grant laughed, “You still have a strong sense of defensive regarding Katherine. Aren’t you
tired?”
He went upstairs. Lydia didn’t give up getting his answer, so she followed him.
She said, “I am not defensive against her. I am just wondering why the relationship between you and
her seemed to be much better than before. In the past you didn’t talk to her much.”
Lucas Grant sighed and stopped walking.
He looked back at Lydia, “She’s already pregnant. What are you afraid of?”
Lydia was a little embarrassed, “Why am I afraid of her? Why should I be afraid of her?”
Lucas Grant stared at Lydia for a while. Then he turned and went to the study.
Lydia stood still for a few seconds and followed Lucas Grant to go there.
But she didn’t ask so much this time.
She started to refer to Katherine Jordan’s situation, “Although she and Marshall still haven’t remarried
yet, she has a much better relationship with Marshall now. Whether they are going to get remarried or
not, there is no difference. It will not affect their affections.”
Lucas Grant found his file. When he turned back, he saw Lydia leaning against the door frame. She
went on to mention Katherine Jordan, “She must have relied on Marshall. If Marshall was not so
generous, she should still be the country girl. She didn’t change by nature.”
Lucas Grant stared at Lydia, “If I didn’t obey your words and compromise with Old Mr. Grant to marry
Katherine, what will it be like now?”
Lydia was shocked by Lucas Grant’s words. She almost jumped up, “How can you think about that? It
is impossible for you to marry with her. It is impossible for you and her to be together.”
Lucas Grant sighed, “Why it is possible for Marshall and her to be together? Why it is impossible for
me?”
He gave Lydia a sickly smile and said, “You always said Katherine cannot offer me any help. Marshall
also cannot get any support from Katherine, but obviously he lives a very happy life. Look back to me.
What a kind of life I have?”
Lydia’s eyes glazed over. She gave a puzzled glance at Lucas Grant, “What’s wrong with you now?
Don’t you live a good life now? As a single man, you can choose you bride from a large pool. Your life
is not worse than Marshall. Actually your life is better than his.”
Lucas Grant shook his head frustrated “Do you really think my life is better than Marshall’s? I feel
unhappy at all. Why you said my life is better than his?”
Lydia seemed a bit frustrated, “Lucas, don’t worry. You will meet a better...”
Lucas Grant did not want to listen to her anymore. He stepped on to go outside. When he passed
Lydia, he uttered, “The truth is Katherine did not have a crush on me, not because I did not have a
crush on her. She didn’t like me. You need to know that.”
After he finished talking, he strode out.
Lydia stood at the door of the study, staring at the sight of Lucas Grant’s back. For a long time she
didn’t know what to say.
Katherine Jordan went out from the back door and went to the bamboo forest on the back hill.
The bamboo forest had been cleaned. The path to the hill was very clean.
Katherine Jordan walked up slowly. She did not want to visit any place in particular. She went there
only because she felt bored.
She was pregnant, so she did not dare to exercise too much. She moved bit by bit.
After walking nearly half an hour, which only took less than ten minutes in usual, she reached a
clearing above.
Katherine Jordan stood there laughing. There installed a wooden chair in the clearing.
That's really sweet.
When she came here earlier, it obviously did not exist.
Katherine Jordan walked to the chair and sat down to get relaxed.
After sitting there for a while, the cell phone in her pocket rang.
She took it out and looked at it, and then her good mood disappeared.
It’s really haunting. Katherine Jordan did not understand why there were so many people were thick-
skinned.
Katherine Jordan hung up the phone without answering it.
This number was not the previous one, it was changed. But the location of the mobile phone could not
be changed.
Katherine Jordan knew who called her. She did not have to guess.
Before long after she hung up the phone, a message came through.
The message did not mention other things. It only said to let Katherine Jordan answer the phone and
advised her not to hide. It said hide could not solve the problem.
Katherine Jordan almost laughed. There were never any problems to solve between her and that
woman.
She put the number into blacklist. Then she sat there, blowing the wind in the hill.
There was a woman standing in front of the gate of Katherine Jordan’s residence with a suitcase. A
little girl was by her side.
The little girl looked reluctant and distanced herself from the woman. The girl stood still, did not show
much consideration for the woman.
The women regardless of that, she faced the villa and cried out for a long time. She even had called
several neighbors next door out. The neighbors were displeased obviously as they came out to rebuke
her.
The woman grinned and said, “I am the mother of the householder. I have come to look for her. She is
hiding from me and does not want to support me.”
The neighbors didn't really believe her. They just told her, "No one lives here anymore. It's been a long
time since she moved out. Don’t shout. Nobody will come.”
The woman was stunned, “Moved out? Why she moved out? Where she moved out?”
Of course, the neighbors did not know where Katherine Jordan moved out. They only said they “don’t
know”, and returned to their houses.
The woman stood still with unwillingness on her face apparently. She crossed her waist and muttered,
“She’s hiding out. What a heartless beast.”
Then the girl next to her turned around. “Can we go now? I feel so shameful.”
“Why you feel shameful? After your sister gives us money and you live a good life, you won't feel
shameful for our actions today.”
The woman could not do anything. Katherine Jordan was not here. It’s no use to wait for her here.
So dragged her luggage and went out.
The girl kept her distance and did not want to get close to her.
The woman muttered as she walked along, “I was blind to choose your father. He is such a loser. He
just waits for what’s ready and never does anything. If he comes along, won't we both be so tired? Bah,
I will leave him immediately after I get rich.”
The girl slowly followed the woman to get out of the community, as if she did not hear what the woman
said.
Standing on the street, they had nowhere to go.
It was a busy area with heavy traffic flow. They stood on there, appearing to be incompatible with the
city.
After a long time, the girl got close to the woman, “Mom, let's go home. We can't find her. We don't
even have a place to stay here.”
"Go home? Why go home? You go home by yourself. Since I come here, I will not leave until I get the
money.” With her luggage on the ground, the woman said through gritted teeth.
