Chapter 512: Chapter 512



“You know Katherine and I are just friends, right?” Bobby forced a strained smile, fully aware that Shawn appeared poised to strike at any moment.

Shawn’s gaze shifted to Bobby’s arm, which had been wrapped around Katherine earlier.

“Maintain your distance. If you’re so fond of touching her, I’ll simply remove that arm for you.”

Bobby scoffed internally. Yet Shawn’s expression remained deadly serious, devoid of even the slightest trace of humor. Bobby had long been aware that he was a constant irritant in Shawn’s life. It was wiser not to antagonize him.

Bobby promptly departed in search of his companions.

Katherine guided her parents to a secluded corner seat, while Shawn took a seat beside her, exuding a calm demeanor. Katherine’s mother resumed her earlier inquiry.

“Shawn, who is the girl you like? I am able to assist you with that.”

Her parents had consistently held a favorable view of Shawn and would undoubtedly welcome him as a prospective son-in-law. Katherine’s nuptials might very well be expedited in favor of Shawn.

She was beginning to develop a headache, yet Shawn refrained from continuing.

“It’s fine. I’ll try on my own first. If I can’t succeed, I’ll ask for your help.”

“Alright.”

Katherine experienced a profound sense of relief as a burden was lifted from her shoulders, allowing her to resume sipping her water.

Shawn averted his gaze, intentionally directing it towards Katherine’s face. When she frowned, his smile broadened significantly.

Shawn had penetrated the depths of her thoughts with remarkable clarity. This man was undoubtedly doing it intentionally. He was purposefully uttering these remarks in the presence of her parents.

Katherine felt increasingly disquieted and could no longer remain seated.

“Dad, Mom, I’m going to the restroom.”

“Go ahead.”

The front hall was excessively congested. Seeking a moment of tranquility, Katherine decided to retreat to the pavilion at the rear.

Seated beneath the pavilion, she ignited a cigarette to soothe her tumultuous emotions.

In fact, it was not impossible for her to accept Shawn. Katherine had a penchant for individuals who were more competent than herself, and now, with the revelation that Shawn was Frankie, wasn’t that precisely what she had always desired?

No, no.

Katherine shook her head.

Shawn dared to lie to her! Unforgivable.

“Miss, isn’t this a bit much?”

A voice from behind abruptly interrupted Katherine’s contemplations. It was Mila, whose voice was unmistakable.

“What’s wrong with it? Shawn is allergic to peanuts. Just hand him this drink with peanut butter. I want to see him embarrass himself in front of everyone!”
