I’m Sorry But I Love You

Chapter 22

Anderson frowned, “Hey, Lincoln, don’t push your luck.”

Anderson looked at Catherine as Lincoln hugged her arm. Then he reluctantly said, “Mommy, go back early and send my regards to Sophia.”

Catherine couldn’t bear to part with Lincoln but she knew that there was no use to confront Anderson head on now. She looked at Lincoln and Anderson with a heavy heart. Thereafter Catherine took a taxi to go home.

“Ms. Johnson, Sophia had taken her dinner. I’ll leave since you’re home.”

“Okay, thanks. Nova.” When she found the job as a playwright, Catherine found a part time maid at her apartment complex to pick up Sophia from school and cook a simple dinner each day.

“You’ve paid me so there isn’t a need to thank me. I’ll leave now.” After Nova left, Catherine went to the study and saw Sophia biting the pencil as she frowned while doing her homework. “Mommy, why are you so late?” Sophia’s eyes sparkled as she looked up when she heard some noises and saw Catherine.

Catherine’s unhappiness, after being driven off by Anderson, dissipated immediately and replied, “Today I went to see your brother. Do you want to see the video he recorded for you?”

Sophia was overjoyed to hear about Lincoln. She quickly jumped from her chair and dashed to Catherine. “Oomph…” Catherine grunted in pain as Sophia pressed onto her wound. Sophia didn’t notice Catherine wincing in pain and excitedly grabbed her cellphone.

Catherine quickly gave her the phone and said, “Have a look by yourself. I’ll go and draw some comics. Continue with your homework once you’re done.”

Sophia held onto the phone as she watched the video repeatedly. She reluctantly gave Catherine the phone when a call came in.

The caller was Simon and Catherine was a little surprised, “Hello.”

“I’m sorry to bother you at this hour,” Simon said as he was looking at some news with another phone, “I just saw that the revision to the comics had made the headlines. A lot of your fans are worried about a drastic revision due to the television series. Can you upload a clip to assure your fans that it will not be drastically revised?”

Catherine also knew that a lot of original fans are worried about the comic series being revised. She understood their concerns and didn’t hesitate to agree to Simon’s request.

After hanging up Simon’s call, Catherine browsed the headlines and looked at the comments section. Indeed many fans expressed their concerns over the revision. She registered an account to upload a clip to explain the situation.

But she had never registered an account with the nickname October so not many people noticed her and viewed her clip. Catherine called Simon and thereafter downloaded an app and continued with her work.

Due to the revision of the storyline and the new job, she had to use every opportunity she had to draw so that she can free up some time to visit Lincoln. After she finished drawing, she coaxed Sophia asleep and then took her painkillers before sleeping.

When she arrived at the office the next day, a group of people welcomed her and said, “October, you’ve made the top of the searched list!”

“Oh?” Catherine thought that it was about the explanation for the comic series revision and didn’t think much of it.

“Missus, your husband is so handsome! You even have such a cute daughter!”

“What a beautiful family!”

Catherine was shocked, “What husband?”

“Haven’t you seen the headlines?” The colleague was stunned, “I just opened the app and four of the headlines were about you!” “Angelic couple!”

“She could have an easy life but she decided to work hard using her talents.”

“Revised Misty.” “The author of Misty is an angel.”

Catherine was perplexed as she listened. She quickly took out her phone and opened the app. As soon as the app opened, all sorts of notices popped up and froze up her phone.

“Can I have a look?” Catherine asked her colleague. “Here you go.” Emilia handed her phone to Catherine without hesitation.

When Catherine was reading the news, Anderson who was in the adjacent Clark Towers also was reading the news that popped up on his phone.

There were a series of nine intimate photos of Owen and Catherine. It was puzzling how the social media could obtain a slightly blurred picture of them kissing. It was the day at the hotel when Owen held onto Catherine and kissed her lips.

Anderson looked at the photos in disdain and then read the comments section.

“I saw October when I was at the Antonio Hospital. I think her daughter was admitted to the hospital. She stayed with her daughter at VIP1 room. I’ll make another comment. She is on very good terms with Dr. Elliott.” This fan included a photo of Dr. Elliott taking a stroll with Catherine and her daughter.

“Don’t tell me that the October that I like is a wealthy lady?”

“Those who say that October is wealthy can do a search and compare Owen to that man at Disney. Then you’ll know that October is really wealthy. That man is on par with Mr. Clark.

Anderson was speechless.

Anderson’s face turned gloomy. Arthur stood by the side trembling with fear as he asked, “Mr. Clark, do you want me to look for someone to kill the news?”

“Guess what the fans will think if the news is killed now!” Anderson glared at Arthur. They’d think that Ms. Johnson was Mr. Torres’ wife. A thought sprung onto Arthur’s mind and he kept his mouth shut. Anderson read the top few pieces of news and asked coldly, “She’s drawing comics now?”

Arthur remained highly nervous and quickly replied when he heard Anderson, “Yes, Misty is very popular and I also follow it privately. But what’s missing in the comics is a love story. The author said that she couldn’t draw a lo…”

Suddenly Arthur realized that the author of the comic which he liked was his boss’ ex-wife and quickly swallowed the remaining words.

“Go and check what she is up to recently. Especially who bought the rights to her story.” Anderson threw his phone onto the table and said coldly.

Arthur looked like he had heard wrongly.

He had seen the video clip sent by Catherine. The video stated clearly that the storyline would not be revised drastically when it was being filmed into a TV series. But it also would not have a love story as she was the playwright and couldn’t come up with a love story.

As a fan of the comic, he was eagerly awaiting the TV series. But what did his boss mean? He didn’t want the TV series to be filmed?

Anderson raised his head when he noticed that Arthur wasn’t moving, “Why? Are you sick of your job?” “No, absolutely not.” Arthur came to his senses, ‘I’ll handle it now.”

After Arthur left, Anderson was still upset and turned even colder. Didn’t this woman have any self- respect? She was already a mother of two kids and she was still flirting about?

Catherine read almost twenty minutes and finally understood. Owen and she brought Sophia to Disney and was photographed by many people. One of them was a renowned media influencer. Although that made some waves, it did not make it to the top search nor headlines. She didn’t expect her video clip to explain that the storyline revision would not be drastic would become a top search and headline. When someone realized that she was the one reported by the influencer, she suddenly made the headlines.

Just as Catherine was having wild thoughts, she saw in real-time Owen’s name rising to the top of the search list. A fiery symbol accompanied his name indicating that it was the hot search. Catherine was bewildered, this was overblown. How was she going to resolve this?
