I’m Sorry But I Love You

Chapter 10

“Hurry up.” Anderson who was half-lying on the sofa suddenly stopped his wine-appreciating and gave out an order. Joshua felt a shudder run through him. Anderson who was acting like this was too scary.

Catherine then headed towards Owen.

“Have a drink.” The smile on Owen’s face deepened.

Catherine extended her glass of wine and with a wraparound, an arm draped in shirt was intertwined with hers, and she downed her drink in one go.

While she was thinking to break free from Owen’s arm, Owen was simply smiling as he slowly let the red wine slid down his throat by taking small sips at a time.

“Tsk, tsk, I’m afraid this gorgeous woman could only be a match for Mr. Torres or Mr. Clark.” Someone in the suite suddenly let out a sigh. Owen reached out and pulled Catherine into his embrace before planting an earnest kiss on Catherine’s lips, “Is that so?”

“Mr. Torres, you should be grateful. With my abundance of experience fooling around with women, I have never seen anyone as pretty and sexy as Ms. Johnson. By the way, while we are mentioning Catherine, I just realize that this woman somehow resembles her.” Jasper scratched his head, “Too bad, Andy only likes pure white flower. He won’t be interested in this type of woman.”

“I still lament for Catherine’s fate to be sent to prison even though she is so gorgeous. Alas…” Joshua was almost shaking when he heard this conversation, “You should shut it. You have drunk too much.”

Only then did Jasper come back to his senses, realizing that he had stepped on a landmine. He smiled guiltily and nervously at Anderson, “I’m too drunk, so much so that my brain isn’t functioning well now.”

The air in the suite seemed to turn cold. Everyone gaped at Anderson blankly; buy only Owen was smiling nonchalantly, “My

taste is opposite to Mr. Clark’s.”

A flame of anger immediately started burning in Anderson’s chest. This woman had gone to drink cross- cupped wine with another wine given the fact that they never did that before, and she had allowed other man to kiss her face. This man was even provoking him now.

Even if something was discarded by Anderson, he wouldn’t allow others to trample all over it freely. Anderson noticed that his strong sense of control was slowly fading away.

On one hand, there was a man with a gentle smile on his face, and there was another man with a frosty gaze on the other hand. The two men silently engaged in a staring match, and even the most clueless person in the room was able to notice this strange thing going on.

Joshua couldn’t comprehend what Anderson’s meaning was as he tried to ease the tension in the air, “Aren’t everyone here to talk about business? Why is nobody initiating a conversation? I learnt that Mr. Torres’s biology-based company had forked in a lot of profit, so I hope you can let go of your hand…”

Anderson stood up abruptly which interrupted Joshua’s speech. He walked to where Catherine and Owen were and he grabbed Catherine’s wrist and pulled her into his embrace. Catherine was wearing a pair of high and thin high-heels, and Anderson’s pulling force had caused her to lose her footing and stumbled forward. She immediately smelled a familiar sense of fragrance on this man’s body.

Her brain suddenly went blank. “I don’t mind to change my taste.” As he declared that, he led Catherine into a room. Catherine’s wrist felt painful after being dragged forward by him. She complained, “Anderson, what are you doing?”

Anderson slammed the door shut and pushed her onto the bed. He then fingered Catherine’s lips roughly without any sense of holding back until a hint of blood could be seen on her lips.

“Are you crazy?”

“Catherine, you are really a bitch.” Anderson commented sarcastically, “You are going to throw yourself at any man you lay your eyes on? Does it feel that good to kiss other men?”

If it were not for the fact that her children was still in his hands, Catherine was going to spout some vulgarities.

If it were not for this man, she wouldn’t be here to be at the mercy of other men.

Catherine perched her head high but she said nothing. Her eyes were overflowing with anger and hatred. Anderson was able to see the hatred in her eyes clearly, “Why, have you fallen for Owen after only such a short time?”

“Are you regretting your decision to cancel the marriage with Owen and instead married me back then?” Anderson’s tone had its usual sarcasm, “You are really a helpless bitch!”

Catherine chuckled with suppressed anger, “Yes, I do regret that. The single thing I regret the most in my life is marrying you.” Anderson held Catherine’s chin with force.

Catherine tried to break free, “Why? Are you upset? You have brought devastation to my family and sent me to prison, and now you are asking me to accompany your clients. With that being said, do you still want me to thank you?”

Catherine couldn’t stop her fit of laughter, “Anderson, could it be that there is something wrong with your head?”

“You are threatening me with my child, and you are asking me to accompany Jasper. Aren’t those all you have ever asked me to do? In this industry, kissing is nothing. There are even more things which are explicit, don’t you agree?” It was not like she didn’t know well of the trend and hidden rules of this industry.

“Anderson, don’t you know all that with clarity?”

“No, you are well aware of everything. You just want to humiliate me so that you can fulfil your screwed- up desires. Anderson, aren’t I embarrassed enough?”

She used to be a high and mighty princess, and after falling in love with Anderson, she had been lowering her stance to the point of being an utter embarrassment. When someone mentioned “Catherine”, she had to make sure that she didn’t have an unusual expression on her face.

Otherwise, people like Jasper who couldn’t hold a candle to people from the Johnson family would see her in a different light. How would the people who used to be in the same industry with her see her now? She couldn’t destroy the name of the Johnson family any further.

She had to make sure nobody would relate her becoming Anderson’s pawn to the Johnson family. She had already brought so much ruin to the Johnson family, so she couldn’t make her parents lose face any further.

Tears subconsciously broke free of her eyes.

A beautiful face was sobbing in front of Anderson, which caused him to freeze on the spot. She suddenly recalled how she looked like when she tried to commit suicide. She looked embarrassed and weak, which was a far cry from her sparkling and generous former self. Who was responsible for degrading her to such a state?

Her tears had dampened the blanket, “You never care for me, so why are you snatching my children away from me? You can always have another woman to give birth for you since there are countless women who want that to happen. Why are you harming me continuously? Or do you think that you haven’t harmed me enough?”

Her words caused some discomfort in his heart, and without thinking, he sealed her lips with his, and his hand explored the part of her under her skirt, which caused Catherine to let out muffled sounds while struggling.

The two of them made considerable noise, while the exterior of the room was so silent that a dropping needle would have been noticed.

Joshua initially wanted to stop Owen from interfering, because a playboy like him would have known what was happening in the room based on the muffled sound. He was stunned for a second.

At the moment of his hesitation, Owen pushed him to the floor and kicked the door open. Anderson turned around and frowned at the intruder.

Catherine lashed out with her knees and connected with Anderson’s body, which caused him to grimace. The wrinkles on his forehead deepened, and she took this chance to get away from the bed.

“Cathy.” Owen reached out to her with open arms. Upon hearing Owen’s gentle voice, Catherine finally cried out loud while stumbling into his embrace, “Owen.”

Owen took off his coat and covered Catherine’s body. He then patted her back gently and said, “Don’t cry, and don’t be afraid. We will go home now.”

Anderson’s face had frozen over, and his dark gaze was brewing a storm of anger. He was glaring at Owen with his fists clenched. When Joshua saw him behaving like that, he immediately came forward to stop him, “Andy, don’t be reckless! Don’t be reckless now!”
