A Replacement Bride

Chapter 32

Chapter 32

Rosemary's face grew ugly.

Katherine was indeed a country bumpkin, and there was no way she could be decent. A dignified young lady would never say such vulgar words.

She glanced at Joaquin in the wheelchair and felt more disdain in her heart.

"Kathy, how could you talk so roughly? I, of course, won't have any intentions toward my brother-in- law." Rosemary looked aggrieved. When she spoke, she bit her lower lip and gave Joaquin a pitiful look.

However, it was a pity that Joaquin looked wooden and did not seem to notice Rosemary's look at all. He went along with Katherine to say, "I'm not interested in that. However, Miss Rosemary, your attire is really indecent. The Levisays are a strict family, so since you're a guest here, you should not embarrass the Cornells."

Rosemary's face turned pale; she was so humiliated that she wished there was a hole in front of her for her to hide inside.

Joaquin simply doesn't know what's good for him!

She was obviously kind enough to remind him that Katherine was a vulgar woman, but instead of being appreciative, he helped Katherine to ridicule herself. It was no wonder he could only get second-hand junk like Katherine!

The smile on Rosemary's face could not be maintained anymore, and she could hardly hold back her unhappy tone.

"I-I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to my room to rest."

Rosemary almost fled.

She was severely stimulated by the double whammy from Katherine and Joaquin.

Katherine was in a good mood. After she closed the door, she took the initiative to push Joaquin's wheelchair. "There is no one else in the room. Do you want to continue to use the wheelchair?"

Looking at the man in the wheelchair who was motionless, Katherine asked curiously.

Joaquin raised his eyes that were hidden under the mask. He stared at her calmly with those deep and bottomless eyes.

After a long time, he twitched the corners of his mouth and asked casually, "When did you know?"

"I was a little suspicious when we first met." Katherine studied medicine herself, so she could tell at a glance if he was truly paralyzed.

Joaquin's breath was regular and his face was ruddy, so he did not look paralyzed at all.

If he was paralyzed in the lower body and had been sitting in a wheelchair for a long time, it was impossible for him to be in this state.

She then confirmed her suspicions that his legs were all right when he was in the car the day before yesterday.

"Has anyone told you that it's bad for women to be too smart?" Joaquin looked at Katherine with a half- smile.

"Not really." Katherine tried to recall and answered quite honestly.

Joaquin could not help but twitch his lips happily.

"Now that you know, what are you going to do? Threaten me with this, or expose me to gain benefits?" Joaquin leaned lazily on the wheelchair, but his deep eyes did not leave Katherine's face.

"That's a good idea. How much do you think your matter of pretending to be lame is worth? If I go and tell Hera about this, how much will she give me?" Katherine tilted her head and looked at Joaquin. She looked as if she was seriously considering how much this news was worth.

Seeing her acting in such a way, Joaquin knew that she would not expose this matter, and his impression of Katherine changed a little subtly.

"It should be quite a lot." He smiled lightly and replied casually.

"But I don't like her very much, so, my dear fiancé, you should try to please me and be kind to me. Then, I can help you keep it a secret. If you really want to become a lame person and hide the matter from others, I can help you too." Katherine got up, leaned near Joaquin, hooked her fingers on his chin, and raised his face.

The mask was in the way, but it was not difficult to see that this man's facial features were very delicate.

Katherine felt that those eyes were a little familiar. She was wondering if she had seen it before when he suddenly pulled her down. At the next moment, she sat on his lap and was tightly clasped at her waist.

Joaquin's breathing was heaty and hurried, but it was still a little restrained. "Do you do the same to other men? Huh?"

His voice dragged on; it was husky and sexy.

Katherine felt itchy in her ears and uncomfortable on her body.

She felt that she had been too careless to be approached by a man again, and the other party had the opportunity to control her.

This kind of thing had never happened before.

She was annoyed for a while and scolded herself for letting down her guard against Joaquin just because he was in a wheelchair.

"Of course not. Aren't you my fiancé? How can other men compare to you?" Katherine replied simply and decisively.

Joaquin did not believe it. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

He had already experienced how this woman seduced men.

It was just that she was very close at this time, and he could smell the faint fragrance on her body. Joaquin, who had always been calm, actually felt butterflies in his stomach.

In the past few years, he had not had any butterflies even toward Beatrice, but Katherine made an exception again and again.

Joaquin was puzzled.

A physical reaction was always the most direct indication of attraction. Katherine was no longer a young and innocent girl who had never experienced sexual attraction, so she felt changes in Joaquin's body.

Her body was a little stiff. It was one thing not to resist Joaquin's physical contact, but it was another thing to actually have intimate skin-to-skin contact with him.

"My dear fiancé, can you let me go?"

Katherine's voice was a little low and her body was stiff, which betrayed her mood at this time.

Joaquin glanced at her in surprise. Seeing her delicate face tense and her body extremely stiff, it was as if she was resisting being so close to him.

He smiled, reached out and gently pushed her off.

After Katherine got up, she hurriedly backed away a few steps, not daring to tease Joaquin anymore.

This man is very dangerous. He should be listed as Dangerous Person No. 2 for the time being.

Number one is the shameless man in the hotel.

Joaquin, who was actually the shameless man, said, "I did not expect my dear fiancée to be so innocent."

"Haha." Katherine only gave him a sneer, then turned around, took out her phone, and began to play a game on it.

The brief intimate contact with Joaquin just now made Katherine's heart a little chaotic, and only by playing games could she vent her panic and irritability.

Joaquin had never played games. Looking at Katherine playing at this time, he heard the faint sounds of her successfully beating the levels. Katherine's pretty face was slightly cold, and her jaw was tight. Without saying a word, she just stared at the screen of the phone, and her fingers danced quickly on the screen.

Katherine played the game for two hours. If Theodore had not sent a message to interrupt her, she would have continued playing.

Theodore sent the medical data of Hawk, as well as the basic data of the patients who received the experimental drug.

Katherine took a few glances and finally felt a little relieved.

After Katherine replied to Theodore, she heard Joaquin's phone ringing. The man said a few words in a low voice, his face a little ghastly.
