I’m Sorry But I Love You

Chapter 7

Owen knew very well how important Lincoln and Sophia were to Catherine, “Cathy, don’t fear. I will go to City W now.”

“Owen, thank you.” Catherine was touched by him that she almost tear up, “l have been bringing troubles to you all those years. I can even say that we wouldn’t still be alive without you, but this time I really don’t want to trouble you anymore.”

Her iridescent eyes flashed a glint of resignation as she vowed not to involve innocent parties in her matters anymore. She was afraid.

She was afraid that the Torres family would repeat the mistakes that were committed by the Johnson family.

The result would be a total ruin of the family.

“Miss, we have arrived.”

“Owen, we can’t talk anymore. I am fully prepared for what is going to happen, so you don’t have to worry about me.” After hanging up on Owen, she scanned a code to pay for the taxi before alighting from it.

She stood before the Clark Tower, and she was gazing upwards at it. There were tears in her eyes. Her father had jumped off this same building and turned into a mushy pile.

She bent over to place her freshly-bought chrysanthemum in front of the tower and put her palms together in prayer. She was also repenting for her sins too.

“Dad, Cathy is regretting everything now.”

“I swear that I won’t see and love him anymore in my life, but I have to go meet him now, because Lincoln and Sophia is in his hands. Dad, I’m sorry for going back on my words.”

She was dressed in red, and curly hair was cascading over her shoulders. As a breeze passed by, her hair swayed in the wind and her dress fluttered upwards. Her pale and delicate legs were bathing in the sun’s warm glow. A woman was placing a stalk of chrysanthemum while shutting her eyes in prayers, which attracted attentions of passers-by. She was out of place and mysterious.

Catherine wouldn’t know what would others thing of her, but she wouldn’t care less even if they knew. She went straight into the

Clark Tower.

The receptionist had seen a lot of beautiful women, but when Catherine walked towards her, the receptionist had her breath taken away by Catherine’s extreme beauty and temperament. She was only able to recover after being in a trance for some time, “Miss, may I…”

“lam here to see Anderson.” Anderson weren’t lacking women all the time, from artists to socialite. Everyone would refer him as Mr. Clark. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

This woman was different from them as she directly called out Mr. Clark’s first name. The others present there were startled by her.

“Which family does this lady belong to?”

“I have never heard that there is such a good-looking lady from any family. Not only she looks pure and demure, she is also exuding a feministic aura. Imagine dating this kind of woman! I would be ecstatic!”

“Wake up, you are a female yourself.” “What about it? If such a beautiful and seductive lady happens to set her eyes on me, I would be shocked beyond words.” “Wake up, my dear. Can you sense the aura around her? She won’t just be a nobody, I bet. She is probably the president’s date.”

“Shh, shut up. You are new here, so you don’t know about anything. The president is dead loyal. Ever since his girlfriend has passed away, you can’t even see any female creature around him.”

Catherine couldn’t help letting out a cold laugh. She couldn’t get a break even if that person had passed away.

“Miss, do you have an appointment here?” The receptionist tested Catherine while she concluded that she couldn’t afford to offend Catherine, judging from her superior aura.

“Just tell Anderson that Catherine is looking for him.”

The moment Catherine finished her sentence, a voice sounded from behind her, “Why are you looking for me?”

Catherine turned around and saw Anderson, and standing beside him was Joshua whom she had bumped into in an elevator days ago. Catherine shot a glance at him, and Joshua smiled meaningfully, “Good day, my sister-in-law.”

“Mr. Adams, that’s not my title.” Catherine corrected Joshua, “Just call me Catherine.”

Anderson’s gaze was dark and gloomy. Was she that hasty to draw a clear line in between them?

He should feel reassured that this woman was eager to severe their connection, but why did he feel a little uncomfortable deep down?

“Quit with that nonsense.” Anderson shot Joshua a look.

Joshua scanned his gaze from Catherine and then back to Anderson, “Alright, alright. With my power alone I certainly can’t win against you couple. I’m going back first, we will talk about our investment at the banquet tonight. One more thing, there is a chrysanthemum in front of the building. That’s a bad omen, you better order someone to take care of it.”

Immediately after saying that, he took several steps back, fearing that those two would beat him up.

However, the two of them didn’t pay him any heed at all. Catherine stared squarely into Anderson’s eyes, “Give me back my children.”

“We’ll talk about that upstairs.” After saying that, Anderson marched forward with his long legs. Catherine had no choice but to follow from behind.

The receptionist who had overhead their conversation stared at Catherine with shock.

Joshua glanced at her lecherously while making a zipping motion near his mouth.

The receptionist immediately cupped her mouth and nodded hurriedly.

Joshua watched the backs of Anderson and Catherine as he sighed secretly. In terms of appearance, those two were a match made in heaven. How could Isabella be a match? She wouldn’t even hold a candle to Catherine. Even Joshua wouldn’t set his eyes on her, so he didn’t understand why Anderson was blinded at that time.

If Catherine were to turn her attention on him, Joshua vowed to stop messing around with other women.

Catherine followed Anderson all the way upstairs, and there were people who shot glances at her from time to time from afar. She had long gotten used to this, so she didn’t really care about that. Since Anderson was able to meet her, she had nothing to fear anymore. She followed Anderson straight into his office.

“Give me back my children.” Catherine reiterated herself after entering his office.

Anderson walked to the side of his sofa and crossed his long legs. He was studying this woman in front of him, and at the same time Catherine was examining him too. She had to admit that although this man had a really bad character, he was perfect in terms of looks. His brows were almost sculpted, and his

features were so three-dimensional that anyone who laid eyes on them would want to throw themselves onto him without thinking. She had to give him that; Anderson was beyond handsome. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been intoxicated by him for so many years.

“He is my son too.” Anderson answered slowly.

“No!” Catherine glared at him, “He’s my child, and only mine. At that time when you refused to listen to my explanations and sent me to prison, Lincoln and Sophia no longer have a father.”

Anderson frowned, “Why didn’t you tell me that you were pregnant at that time?”

Catherine smiled faintly with a hollow expression in her eyes, “Putting aside the fact that I didn’t even know that I was pregnant, even if I knew and told you about it, would you even let me give birth to them?”

Anderson looked slightly upset at that moment.

“No, you won’t. Anderson, I know you too well. You hate me the most, so there is no way you would allow me to give birth to them.”

Anderson frowned, but he didn’t deny her words. He replied without emotion, “Since they are born in this world anyway, they are children of the Clark family. I will make sure they bear my family name.”

“Do you even have any tinge of self-respect? I have given birth to them after so much difficulty and raised them up to who they are today. What have you ever done?” Catherine probed vehemently, and before Anderson could refute, she raised her voice, “You have sent all of us to prison, and Sophia and Lincoln grew up in the prison. They aren’t related to the Clark family in the slightest, so how dare you want to bring them away?”

Looking back at the past, it had been six years since then. At that time, she was sent to the hospital by the police, and she was almost at death’s door, and she was fully prepared to face the worst. In the end, it was Owen who had told her that she was pregnant, and it was a twin. The twin had very strong life

force, which influenced her to have a desire to live on. That was how she was able to make it back from hell.

This was the reason she wouldn’t allow Anderson to take away her children. Memories of the past flooded Catherine’s mind at the moment.

She had returned to her arrogant and energetic self, and Anderson could only let out a sigh of relief. That day, the image of Catherine who attempted to jump off the building had left a lasting impression in him.

“I will never give those children back to you.” Anderson picked up a glass of water and took a sip, and he was saying all this with the utmost nonchalance, “However, I can give you an explanation.”

Anderson stood up and took a few steps forward. He was now looming over Catherine as he uttered these words with extreme contempt and cruelty, “You have led to Isabella and her child’s death all those years ago, and now it is payback time.”
