I'm Sorry, But I Love You novel Chapter 71

Now the whole world had known how much Anderson was doting Johanna.

Catherine smiled bitterly. To Anderson, she wasn’t even comparable to Isabella’s substitute.

While Catherine was quite down, Ethan messaged her, asking her to accompany him to attend a business dinner in the evening.

Ethan had helped her a lot. Now, Catherine treated him as a real friend of hers, so she would definitely help him. However, much to her surprise, she met Owen at the business dinner.

Dressed in an olive-yellow cheongsam, Catherine walked in with Ethan arm-in-arm, looking so elegant and beautiful.

When seeing her, Owen almost stopped breathing. He was so excited that he strode over to Catherine, his eyes slightly reddened.

Catherine also gaped when seeing Owen. Subconsciously, she wanted to withdraw her arm that took Ethan’s.

When she put down her hand, Ethan took the chance to grab it.

Catherine returned to her senses ... she came in as Ethan’s date. She smiled at Owen and greeted him, “Good evening, Mr. Torres.”

Her distant and cold tone caused a sharp pang in Owen’s heart.

Ethan came here for business, so Catherine was just a background board for him. After dinner, they went to Sky Club together.

With the karaoke hostesses and others’ dates in the box, all of them were enjoying smoking and drinking.

It was noisy and boring, and the box smelt bad. After informing Ethan, Catherine went out of the box and stood in front of the window for the fresh air.

Occasionally, a wait or a waitress passed by, and they would greet her. Some bold ones even called her Mrs. James.

Catherine always smiled and nodded at them in response. She couldn’t explain her relationship with Ethan to them.

Feeling a breeze, Catherine stretched her warms happily.

“Are you truly Ethan James’ girlfriend now?’

She heard Owen’s hoarse voice behind.

Catherine put away her smile. Putting down her arms, she turned around and looked at Owen. She said ruthlessly, “Yes, I am. So, Mr. Torres, please don’t disturb my life anymore.”

While she spoke, she was almost suffocated.

In this world, except for Sophia and Lincoln, Owen was her only family.

Although they were not blood-related, they should be more like family than others.

Owen shook his head with a smile. “Catherine, you know what? When you are lying to someone, you always subconsciously grip something tightly. You are always like this since you were a kid.”

He gazed at Catherine’s wrist gently.

Catherine looked down at her hand that was gripping the bracelet on the other. Subconsciously, she withdrew it.

“That’s a beautiful bracelet,” Owen praised. Then he heaved a sigh. “I know you don’t want to put me into the mire, but what if I insisted on getting involved?”

Catherine stared at Owen in silence.

He knew her very well, and she also knew him well.

Once he had made up his mind, it would be quite difficult for him to change.

Catherine sighed. “Owen, please don’t act recklessly. I’m pretty well now. Anderson Clark has Johanna Scott, so he’s making less trouble to me.”

Owen rubbed Catherine’s head dotingly. “I’m not a kid anymore. When have you seen me act recklessly?”

“You acted recklessly when getting involved in my business after giving up your piano,” Catherine mumbled.

Owen smiled more deeply. “If I were the one who was put in jail back then, would you try to save me?”

“Of course, I would,” Catherine answered without any hesitation.

“That’s it.”

They exchanged a smile with each other.

Since they were reconciled, Catherine felt more relaxed. After all, their friendship had last over two decades. She couldn’t just simply forget him.

When Owen suggested sending her home at night, Catherine refused. She hailed a cab and went back.
