NovelEnglishChapter 1068 Refusal In the living room, everyone talked about hilarious things abroad after dinner. It was lively and harmonious.
Alfie and Diana were playing with toy cars. The living room was broad and brightly lit. They both were good at driving.
The adults sat on the sofa or stood around. Everyone enjoyed the gathering.
Suddenly, Ivan's phone rang. He darted at the caller ID but didn't answer it immediately.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKerry?" He wondered if something had happened to Catherine.
"What's wrong?" Jennifer heard the ringing tone. "Why don't you answer?" She darted at the screen. "Kerry, isn't it?" Jennifer looked up, meeting Ivan's gaze.
His phone continued ringing.
"Answer it. Has something happened to Catherine?" Jennifer prompted, "She's pregnant. It'll be dangerous if something happens to her." Ivan wiped to answer and put the phone close to his ear, "Hello. What's the matter?" "Mr. Marsh," Kerry answered in a low voice, "Ms. Collins is standing outside your house. She might wish to meet you, looking so pitiful, so | called you." Love and tenderness vanished from Ivan's eyes immediately.
Afraid he would hang up, Kerry hurriedly added, "Mr. Marsh, please don't hang up. Ms. Collins is in a poor status. | guess she suffers from depression. For her child, she struggled hard." "She hasn't spoken for a week, closing her up completely. Mr..." "Kerry," Ivan interrupted her, "Take her back. | won't see her." Then he ended the call.
Jennifer's heart skipped a beat. "Take her back? Did Catherine chere?" Ivan put away his phone and curled his lips into a smile. "Let's prepare sfruit." Then he propped his arm on her shoulders and took her into the lounge.
Jennifer pulled him to stop. "Answer me. Did Catherine come?" "Right. Outside our house." Jennifer was shocked.
They looked into each other's eyes. Suddenly, Jennifer pitied Catherine, especially since it was a holiday. "Are you sure you won't see her?" "Why would | see her?" asked Ivan, feeling sickened by that woman. "Stop convincing me. | know what you want to say. | only want to see my wife. No other women." Warmth traveled through Jennifer's chest. She chuckled, "All right. I'll stop pushing you to her." Ivan poked her nose tip. "That's better." With a smile on his lips, he said, "Hurry. Mom brought us sraspberries. They are fresh.
By the way, you must distance yourself from Tristan." "All right. All right. | got it. You repeated it million times." He squeezed her closer and took her back to the living room.
Outside the house, the night breeze blew.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCatherine didn't want to interrupt them. Nor did she want to join them. Watching the house, she felt envious while tears sprung to her eyes.
The scenes where she was with Ivan repeatedly appeared in her mind. She went on business trips with him. She worked with him...
They used to be intimate.
If Jennifer hadn't appeared that night seven years ago, Catherine believed she would have spent the night with Ivan and been pregnant with his baby.
She wished it were true.
Unfortunately, she couldn't turn back the time. God always had his own plan for everyone.
"Let's go home, Ms. Collins," Kerry muttered, "I called Mr. Marsh just now." The night breeze brought Catherine back to her senses. She looked back at Kerry.
Kerry continued, "Mr. Marsh... is too busy to see you." Her words raised a sharp pang in Catherine's heart. She murmured, "He's busy? No. He just doesn't want to see me."
