Kate's mood lifted when she thought of that idiot. When she was in Merchant City, Luke would solemnly tell her he had a girlfriend no matter when she tried to get close to Luke. He wanted her to have respect for him and herself.
She looked at the man beside her.
The tides have turned. Gwen never thought she would lose her other half after the surgery, while Kate would soon be engaged to Steven and become Mrs. Hughes!
When she thought about how she would soon sleep in the same bed with Steven, waking up to see his handsome face every morning ..she felt like her life was full of hope!
After the front desk attendant left, Steven paused and wanted to say something before noticing how happy Kate looked. Thus, he went back to sit on the chair and poured himself more coffee, asking, "What are you smiling about?"
"Nothing." Kate regained her senses and looked at the handsome man behind her. "I was just thinking that the pendant looks so cheap; like it was bought from a souvenir shop. You could probably buy one with a few bucks. I don't understand why someone would treat it as a precious item and search for it everywhere when it's lost.”
She truly could not comprehend it.
Steven curled his lips into a smile. "Maybe the pendant is that important to them."
He poured another glass of coffee for Kate and gave it to her. "Drink it while it's hot."
Kate was thrilled to see how thoughtful Steven was. She bit her lip and looked at him with gentle eyes. "Thank you."
For some reason, Steven felt like what Kate said made sense. He looked at Kate again suspiciously. "Are you sure you don’t know Joshua Lynch?”
Something was telling him Kate was hiding something from him.
"Since you saw Joshua Lynch this morning ..." Kate was relieved when Steven stopped asking about her trip to Merchant City and thus tried to change the topic. "Did he have
any special reaction when he saw you?"
