I'm Sorry, But I Love You novel Chapter 38

When she caught the glimpse of Anderson, the latter also saw her, his eyes as cold as the arctic ice.

After casting a glance at him, Catherine looked away.

It was quite bright in the banquet hall. At this moment, it seemed that all lights in the hall had been focused on the man and the woman who just walked in.

People in the hall were all astonished when looking at Catherine.

“Who is that lady next to Ethan James?”

“His girlfriend? She’s gorgeous, isn’t she?”

“But she looks familiar to Catherine Johnson.”

“Stop talking nonsense.”

“I’m not. I heard that Catherine Johnson had appeared again. Recently there’s a rumor about twins appearing in the Clark family, isn’t it? Catherine Johnson is their mother.”

“But why has she become Ethan James’ date? Doesn’t she like Mr. Clark the most?”

“She has such characters. I wonder if those men are all blind.”

All the debutantes in the banquet hall were discussing with each other. However, Catherine wasn’t impacted at all. Taking Ethan’s arms, she curled up her red lips into a smile and walked to the old man sitting on the host‘s seat.

She said gracefully, “Good evening, Grandpa Elliot. I wish you the best of luck and longevity.”

The old man was in his seventies. He was wearing a neat suit and a pair of glasses. Although he was aged, he looked gentle and cultivated. “Are you Cathy?”

In this circle, all the elders who knew her always called her in this way. Catherine nodded with a smile. “Yes, Grandpa Elliot. I am.”

Robert grabbed her hand and asked with concern, “I haven’t seen you for so many years. How have you been in the past years?”

The old man looked kind, his eyes full of warmth and love.

Catherine almost burst into tears.

This was the first time that someone cared about her and asked her how she had been in the past years without any evil intention.

She wanted to tell him that she had been quite suffering, not well at all.

However, she still answered with a smile, “I’ve been pretty well.”

“That’s good then. You should come to visit me often. Within all the girls, you are my favorite.”

Robert didn’t hide his favor for Catherine. As soon as he finished his words, the expressions of all the debutantes around him changed.

They looked over at Catherine with different meanings.

Sienna was standing aside, biting her lower lip. She couldn’t understand why a vicious woman that had been in jail could be favored by so many people.

After talking with Robert, Catherine followed Ethan around. When he was talking business with others, she was standing next to him like a beautiful background plate.

“I didn’t expect that you would come here with Ethan James,” Antonio said to Catherine with a smile, holding a glass of champagne while approaching.

Catherine took a sip and smiled faintly without speaking.

Antonio didn’t ask her about anything else. He just asked her to have fun while smiling at her, and then he went to propose a toast with others.

Walking through the crowd, Catherine could always feel clearly that a frozen gaze was glued on her back. If the gaze could kill, she must have been dead thousands of times.

She knew where that frozen gaze came from.

But she was not frightened at all.

She even felt somewhat joyful.

Realizing it, Catherine found herself a creep.

However, the real creep was not her obviously. After socializing with others, Ethan didn’t find it enough. He put his arm around Catherine’s waist and walked to Anderson with an evil smile at the corners of his mouth. He raised the champagne flute. “Mr. Clark, cheers!”

Anderson’s deep eyes didn’t fall on Ethan, but instead, he glinted at Catherine’s face.

Ethan smiled more widely. “Excuse me, Mr. Clark. Do you want my Cathy to propose a toast with you?”
