My Sweetheart novel Chapter 255

Kathy’s phone rang, it was Jennifer.

“Mrs. Hilton.”

Kathy was used to calling her that.

“Kathy, did you meet your grandfather yesterday?”

“Yes.”

“Even I didn’t know that my father was back in town. Was it surprising for you yesterday?” asked Jennifer worriedly.

She was busy dealing with the matters of the Booth Group recently and she didn’t pay attention to her father’s whereabouts.

“It was fine, grandfather told me a lot of stuff.”

“Kathy, will you forgive me?” Jennifer’s voice was trembling.

She always wanted to make it up to Kathy.

She wanted Kathy to come back to the Booth family.

But she was afraid that Kathy wouldn’t give her the chance.

Kathy stayed silent. Her grandfather did mention that Jennifer abandoned her because the Hilton family was instigating her. Though the incident deeply scarred her, and it still bothered her until today.

“Kathy, I know that you’ll need some time. I will wait for you. I will wait until you can accept me and the Booth family again no matter how long it takes.”

Kathy walked out of the living room after hanging up the call. Joseph had prepared breakfast.

She walked into the kitchen and hugged him from behind.

“If you were me, would you forgive the family that once abandoned you?” she asked.

The expression in Joseph’s eyes turned sinister and ruthless after hearing what Kathy said, he gave off a frightful presence.

But Kathy didn’t notice as she was immersed in her own thoughts and emotions.

Joseph turned around and held her hand after a brief pause, he looked at her with a sharp gaze and said, “No.”

No…

He answered without any hesitation.

“Let me know immediately if anything happens, I will dispatch my underlings to protect you,” Joseph repeated himself to Kathy before he left.

He was willing to give her space under the premise that she stayed safe.

Kathy nodded, “They won’t hurt me, they are my family.”

Jennifer arrived at the Joseph Bay after half an hour and Kathy got into her car.

Another black car was parked far away from them

The black car trailed behind Jennifer’s after they started the engine.

After an hour, Kathy arrived at the mysterious yet extravagant castle-like mansion again.

She was perturbed and was hesitant to get off the car.

Jennifer said to her gently, “Don’t worry, Kathy. Mom will be by your side.”

Mother.

Kathy’s brow flinched, but there was no expression on her face.

In her heart, only Angela fit the title of being her mother.

Kathy then got off the car. Jennifer looked disappointed, as Kathy didn’t say anything back to her.

Zack was playing golf in the garden,

The castle-like mansion was located in front of a green mountain, the landscape was spectacular.

“Father.”

Zack didn’t answer, he was focused on playing golf.

Although he was getting old, he was still full of vim and vigour. But his body got tired after a while and he had a mild asthma attack.

The butler on stand-by quickly gave him his medicine.

“Kathy, do you know how to play golf?” Zack turned around and looked at his granddaughter lovingly.

Kathy shook her head, she had never ever played golf in her life.

“Father, take a rest.” Jennifer went up to help him sit down.

“Why are you here?” Zack sounded unhappy.

“I was worried because you didn’t tell me that you were back.”

“There’s nothing to worry about, I’m not dead yet,” said Zack angrily.

Kathy grimaced, it was obvious that Zack and Jennifer didn’t have a good relationship.

“Grandfather, you are as fit as a fiddle, don’t worry,” said Kathy as she tried to comfort her grandfather.”

Zack’s expression immediately turned pleasant.

Kathy smiled awkwardly and said, “Mrs. Hilton…”

“Call me mom, okay?” Jennifer interrupted Kathy.

Kathy wore a heavy expression, she couldn’t bring herself to say that.

“Sorry, I’m rushing it. But your grandfather was very concerned about your wellbeing ever since he found out about you. The Joseph family is mysterious and complicated, I also don’t wish for you to be together with Joseph,” said Jennifer sincerely.

Kathy frowned, she didn’t like them meddling with her personal matters.

Jennifer noticed the change in Kathy’s expression, she was now a bit unhappy with Kathy.

But she maintained her smile and said to Kathy, “Have dinner with mom later, okay? There’s no saying no.”

Kathy agreed with Jennifer’s suggestion as she had nothing else to do today.

The restaurant was located in the heart of the city, Jennifer reserved a private room.

But for some reason, Billy was also in the room.

Jennifer’s expression changed, “Why are you here, Billy?”

“I heard that you were going to have dinner with Kathy. I’m here to sponge a meal.”

“You have no business here.” Jennifer sounded a bit angry.

“Really? Kathy, do you mind if I have dinner with you guys?” Billy asked Kathy directly.

Kathy pursed her lips. Billy always called himself her brother, she couldn’t reject his request and thus she said coldly, “Do whatever you want.”

But she also felt a slight relief with Billy around, as it wouldn’t be as awkward to be with Jennifer.

“Mind your manners,” said Jennifer sternly.

“I know, mom,” said Billy in a peculiar tone of voice.

Kathy frowned, there was something unusual about Billy.

Jennifer received a call shortly after she ordered some dishes. Something happened at Booth Group and she had to hurry off to deal with the matter.

“Kathy, I’ll take a rain check on dinner with you, okay?”

“Go ahead, Mrs. Hilton,” answered Kathy indifferently.

“Hey, why is Joseph here with you?” asked Billy.

“He has to work, Mr. Hilton. Unlike you who always bum around,” answered Kathy sarcastically.

Billy snickered, “I see that is how you see me. But I also see that you guys are getting close, you are starting to protect him.”
