Kate‘s mood lifted when she thought of that idiot. When she was in Merchant City, Luke would solemnly
tell her he had a girlfriend no matter when she tried to get close to Luke He wanted her to have respect
for him and herself.
She looked at the man beside her.
The tides have turned. Gwen never thought she would lose her other half after the surgery, while Kate
would soon be engaged to Steven and become Mrs. Hughes!
When she thought about how she would soon sleep in the same bed with Steven, waking up to see his
handsome face every morning…she felt like her life was full of hope!
After the front desk attendant left, Steven paused and wanted to say something before noticing how
happy Kate looked. Thus, he went back to sit on the chair and poured himself more coffee, asking,
“What are you smiling about?”
“Nothing.” Kate regained her senses and looked at the handsome man behind her.
“I was just thinking that the pendant looks so cheap; like it was bought from a souvenir shop. You could
probably buy one with a few bucks. I don‘t understand why someone would treat it as a precious item
and search for it everywhere when it‘s lost.”
She truly could not comprehend it.
Steven curled his lips into a smile. “Maybe the pendant is that important to them.”
He poured another glass of coffee for Kate and gave it to her.
“Drink it while it‘s hot.” Kate was thrilled to see how thoughtful Steven was. She bit her lip and looked at
him with gentle eyes.
“Thank you.”
Although she replied with a simple ‘thank you‘, her heart was overwhelmed by Steven‘s gesture.
‘I made the right choice. If I wasn‘t decisive, how would I get myself a good man like Steven?‘
Steven, too, smiled happily when he saw how happy Kate was. He picked up his cup and took a sip.
“Oh, right.” He cocked his head and looked at Kate. “I saw Joshua Lynch this morning.”
Joshua Lynch. He noticed Kate‘s back shivered when he mentioned that name. He furrowed his brow
and asked tentatively, “Why are you so afraid to hear that name? Did you do any bad thing to him when
you were in Merchant City?” Kate‘s face flushed white even more. She quickly drank the coffee to calm
herself down. After a while, she looked up at Steven with a serious face.
“No. You know the reason I went to Merchant City was to look for medicine and doctors for you. How
would a nobody like me be in contact with a bigshot like Joshua Lynch?”
For some reason, Steven felt like what Kate said made sense. He looked at Kate again suspiciously.
“Are you sure you don‘t know Joshua Lynch?” Something was telling him Kate was hiding something
from him.
“Since you saw Joshua Lynch this morning…” Kate was relieved when Steven stopped asking about
her trip to Merchant City and thus tried to change the topic.
“Did he have any special reaction when he saw you?”
