I’m Sorry But I Love You

Chapter 3

As Anderson moved his leg and was about to chase after her, she had already entered the lift. “Nothing, I thought it was someone else.” It could not be her; he must have made a mistake again. “Could you mistake her for Mrs. Clark again?” Anderson turned his head away. “I’ve told you many times not to call her Mrs. Clark, she didn’t deserve the title.” Joshua rolled his eyes.

Catherine had been spending the whole day drawing comic, trying to finish it before the deadline. She then had a chat with the editor regarding the storyline afterwards. “The subscription and the percentage of reader following the story for this one is good, the hardcopy version is almost finished printed out. The platform and the readers all wish you can organize a book-signing event, so I wonder whether you have the time?”

“Maybe not, I could promise increasing the autographed edition.” Catherine rejected without a second thought. The editor still did not give up. “The book-signing event would only benefit you, it does you no harm…” Catherine actually understood what the editor said, it was just that she refused to be seen by anyone. The internet was more developed now and if she had appeared on the web, her tranquil life would be gone.

The problem which Owen encountered was difficult to handle and he had not returned home for the whole night. He only made a phone call until the next morning, telling her that he was busy and she should bring the two kids to the oceanarium herself.

“Mommy, mommy, it’s the big shark!”

“Lincoln, big shark!” Sophia was the happiest one having been able to visit the oceanarium and under her influence, a rare smile which was typical to a child his age also showed up on Lincoln’s face. “Lincoln, penguin, penguin.” Sophia put her hands on her waist and walked like a penguin. She looked amusing and adorable.

“Lincoln, follow me, hurry.” Lincoln surrendered to his little sister and he also walked like a penguin while showing an aggrieved look. With Sophia being noisy at the side, both kids were having a lot of fun in the oceanarium and Catherine was quite delighted too. It was still okay for Sophia, but for Lincoln who was smart since little, she was worried what happened back then would leave him with psychological trauma. Seeing them laughing carefreely, Catherine only hoped their childhood would always be like that.

After going out of the oceanarium, three of them had meal in the mall and was ready to go back home after finished watching a movie. Catherine held both kids’ hand and entered the lift. Spotting two young people hugging and kissing in the lift as if deerning no one was around, she covered the kids’ eyes embarrassingly.

Sophia being disobedient pushed her hand away and said, “Mommy, I want to see pretty guy and lady kissing.” The air seemed to freeze and Catherine raised her head awkwardly. “I’m sorry…”

“Mrs. Clark?” Joshua widened his eyes. Wasn’t Catherine Johnson in jail? Why was she here?

Catherine did know Joshua, he was famous as a playboy and he grew up with Anderson since little. What was he doing here? Catherine was so nervous that her heart almost jumped from her throat. She forced herself to look composed and said, “You’ve mistaken me for someone else.” Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mommy, we’ve reached the floor, daddy’s been waiting for us.” Catherine held Lincoln’s hand and left the lift while trying to look calm. Joshua watched the back of the woman before him and scratched his head in confusion. Could it be possible that someone else had the same gorgeous looks as Catherine Johnson? Yet she seemed to have gotten married and her kids had already grown that big, therefore it should not be the same person.

“Darling, do you not love me anymore? How could you keep on looking at the other woman…” Joshua quickly cajoled her, “Of course I love you, how could I not love my little sweetheart? That person looks like a friend of mine.”

Anderson had used cruel method to send his own wife into jail and had caused the Johnson family to bankrupt. Having thought of that now, Joshua still felt a chill down his spine. Catherine was the unreachable dream of all the young men from the upper circle, yet she had had her heart set solely for Anderson. Joshua could not help but sigh when he remembered what happened back then. His girlfriend once again clung to him and kissed his face.

Joshua was absent-minded and he abruptly pushed her away. “Nora, please go first, I need to go to the surveillance room of the mall.”

“My name’s Violet!” The pretty lady stomped her feet, turned and ran away with annoyance. Joshua touched his head and hurriedly went to the surveillance room. He sat down and stared at the woman in the video. Who would have that kind of face in this world besides Catherine? And the little boy standing beside her looked exactly the same as Anderson, it was easy to tell he was Anderson’s offspring! Joshua quickly copied the video and drove all the way to Anderson’s house.

“Mr. Clark, guess who I’ve seen today.” Anderson was dealing with paperwork and he did not even lift his head when he heard Joshua’s voice. “F*ck, I tell you, you’ll regret if you ignore me. I’ve even abandoned my new girlfriend for this.” Joshua lifted his head and said, “Spill the beans.”

“F*ck, go see it yourself.” Joshua tossed the pen-drive directly to him. Anderson opened the video and he frowned when he noticed it was a video from a lift. Joshua continued, “Watch the after part, at the 35th minute.” Anderson said sarcastically, “Why didn’t you cut the video right from the lift was made?” Joshua went speechless. He blamed himself for being such a busybody.

The woman in the video was wearing a nicely-tailored dress and she had long wavy hair. She looked attractive and graceful. She was carrying a little girl while holding a little boy’s hand. The woman in the video was lowering her head and talking to the boy. Time had not left a trace on her face but made her appear more mature and gorgeous instead. Her smile had made her looked more beautiful.

Not knowing whether he was excited or enraged, veins bulged on the dorsal part of Anderson’s hand which he used to hold the mouse. His eyes looked horrifying. “Where did you see her?”

“At the Hualing Mall near the oceanarium, you know, my girlfriend’s house is just nearby…” “Shut up.”

Seeing Anderson’s condition, Joshua thought it was better that he stayed away from danger. “Now that you’ve known this, I’ll go coax my girlfriend now.”

Anderson made a call to ask someone to investigate about that the moment Joshua left. He had actually had children, and they were given birth by Catherine. Having thought that, rage boiled inside him. How dare she give birth to his offspring without saying a word! How could she be shameless enough to give birth to his children after killing Isabella and the child in her belly?

He had used to look forward to the child, yet…it was too late. Isabella and the child had already been killed by that evil woman. Anderson gritted his teeth when he looked at the dazzling face in the video. “Anderson Clark, you better pray you could be ignorant forever, or else, you’ll regret one day!” The woman’s curse still lingered beside his ears when he closed his eyes.

Catherine went back home, she was still feeling anxious and uneasy. She wondered whether Joshua had recognized her or not, she could not make a bet on that, it was better that she left the city. She did not see any trace of Owen returning around the house so he must have been still busy working at the company. “Sophia, Lincoln, we need to move to somewhere else now. Hurry up and pack the things you want to take, I’ll call Owen.”

“Okay, I get it. Don’t be scared, mommy, I won’t go with him.” Lincoln gripped Sophia’s hand after finished. Sophia still did not understand what happened and she burst into tears.
