Katherine was quite uncomfortable inside when she heard about Hector’s words.
She raised the glass and gazed at Hector, “Actually, I always see you as my friend. You are the one
who I confided to when I was at my lowest times. I told you what was buried in my heart but was too
afraid to say it out. Hector, you are different since then, but...”
Katherine drooped her head and gulped down the juice.
She can’t drink, so she can only use this juice for wine.
Then she continued, “But I have someone in my heart.”
Right, she always had this man in her heart.
Though he was an asshole before, she just couldn’t forget him easily since this was the first time that
she had crush on someone and the first time she ever loved someone.
Kyle stared at them for a while and didn’t say anything.
After pausing for a few seconds, Katherine continued, “Hector, you are a great guy, but the truth is that
I’m not good enough for you. You deserve a better girl.”
Hector smiled self-deprecatingly, “I’m a great guy, but still, you don’t love me.”
Katherine instantly went speechless.
Kyle then sighed, “I really don’t know when the relationship between you guys became so weird.”
How would he know? He only knew how to have fun all day and certainly didn’t sense these things.
The subject of their conversation just shifted after he interrupted.
Hector looked up and chuckled, “I actually thought you would fall in love with Katherine at first.”
Kyle was spooked and hurriedly waved his hand, “Stop it. I have no feelings for women. They are all
too troubling. I genuinely felt terrible when I saw women around.”
Katherine then joked, “Hector, you got to be careful.”
Kyle immediately widened his eyes, “I certainly have no feeling for men! Don’t mess with me.
Katherine. I’m pretty serious.”
Kyle’s face changed a bit, “It’s just that the women around me are seldom normal. I really got scared.
I’d rather lead this life all by myself. Isn’t it a great thing to have this life with endless money?”
Katherine couldn’t help laughing and really wondered what Rosie did to Hector to leave him so
traumatized.
The dinner got off to a good start and the atmosphere was quite merry. While they were chatting,
Katherine told them what happened to the Hendersons.
Kyle was in no mood to care about what was going on outside recently.
He immediately paused when he heard about Jakub’s death, “Died? He is died?”
Kyle clearly had a hard time processing this news.
After all, he was one of the Hendersons and Hector had met him a few times before and remembered
him as an energetic boy who was always smiling.
Kyle didn’t have a great impression with Clara, so he didn’t really like Jakub.
But he was still taken aback when such a young soul just departed from this world.
Kyle lamented, “Such a shame. I think that he is far much better than his sister. I heard that elder Mr.
Henderson had all his hopes on that boy. Though he was still young, he had to learn many things.”
Elder Mr. Henderson had him to study about the business at a young age.
He clearly wanted Jakub to have the company, but now that Jakub was gone, Kyle really wondered if
elder Mr. Henderson can hold it together.
He then mentioned the old Mr. Henderson.
“Well, that guy is pretty old. I’m really afraid that he would get depressed and just go to keep Jakub
company.”
Katherine then thought of old Mr. Henderson and really didn’t see him as a weak person.
Though he was quite old, he still looked strict and must be a formidable man when he was young.
And she can see fierceness in his serious eyes.
So though he would be devastated, he would get by.
Elder Mr. Henderson should be the one that would be shattered.
The subject was a bit suffocating, so they just stopped talking about that.
Hector drank a few and then turned to Katherine and asked her if she really wasn’t going to remarry
Marshall.
Katherine didn’t what to say. A lot of people were asking her about this question now.
Every time she replied that she wouldn’t get remarried with Marshall, they would be baffled.
But actually, she saw it as a totally normal thing.
Marriage was just a piece of paper that would bind them together.
They had this piece of paper before, but it didn’t keep them together, so she didn’t have any hope for
this formality now.
After musing for a while, Katherine responded, “Well, I’m not planning on remarrying him for now. I
want to keep this relationship as it is currently. If we want to be together, we would be together, but if
we are tired with each other, we will just part ways. It’s as simple as that.”
She really didn’t want to go through this marriage thing again.
Hector smiled, “Your decision is technically not that surprising. You are always like this.”
Katherine then asked Hector why was he going back so soon and why didn’t he take more days off to
have a good rest?
Hector leaned against the chair, stared at the wine glass for a long time and then let out along breath, “I
can’t rest myself well here.”
He actually needed to straighten out in his mind now and other people wouldn’t be able to help.
Moreover, he was really disturbed by the environment here.
Hector refilled the wine and gulped it down and said that it was better if he left.
He then said to Katherine in a while, “I have actually thought a lot of solutions before I came back and
had some dark thoughts. If I can really be cruel enough, I can get everything I want.”
But at that dinner table, he can seriously feel that Marshall was really sweet to Katherine.
Katherine would also glance at Marshall once in a while and she was clearly in love with him.
So all the dark thoughts he had just slowly faded away.
Hector can somewhat guess what would happen even if he schemed to break apart Katherine and
Marshall.
With Katherine’s personality, he wouldn’t get to be friends with her.
He was always sensible and can dissect the situation well.
Of course he was distressed, but he still felt it unworthy to ruin everything just for some of his pettiness.
So he pondered for a long time last time and finally decided it was better if he just left.
At least, he wouldn’t get time to worry about all these things on stage and during rehearsals.
He would at least be relaxed at that time.
