My Sweetheart

Chapter 302 Was It So Hard On You to Be Married To Me

“Alexia, why don’t you decorate your place properly?”

“This is the minimalist style. Isn’t it the fashion now?” Alexia wasn’t concerned.

“This isn’t the minimalist style, it’s even more simple than a rental apartment.”

“It’s okay as long as I’m fine with it.” Alexia interrupted her as her eyes flashed a hint of disappointment.

“I already found out which hospital your grandfather is in. Do you need me to go with you?” Alexia gave her the address.

Kathy frowned, “I’ll go on my own.”

Kathy went to the hospital in the early hours of the morning and the hospital corridor was very quiet.

She thought that there wouldn’t be anyone with Zack but unexpectedly, Bertie was at the door.

He was surprised to see Kathy and thought that she would not come.

He walked over to her, “Grandfather is asleep.”

“Okay, what did the doctor say?” Kathy frowned.

“The illness has gotten more severe and we’ve been informed of the risks.”

Kathy’s face turned pale.

“Come again tomorrow if you wish to speak to grandfather, you should go back to rest,” Bertie said out of concern.

But Kathy didn’t leave and sat on the chair along the corridor.

Bertie frowned deeply, “Do you intend to wait here?”

“I will leave later.”

She didn’t seem to have anything to say to her grandfather.

“Do not bear a grudge against your family member.”

“Does that mean that he can act recklessly and hurt anyone without a care?” She said.

Grandfather used his health to force her to divorce. She can’t accept his cruel tactics.

Bertie was sullen and said after a while, “Are you and Joseph still in contact?”

“No.”

“For this, half of it was forced by grandfather and the other half was Joseph giving up,” Bertie said.

Kathy was sullen.

Perhaps she wouldn’t believe him in the past but now she believed.

That man didn’t endeavor to retain the marriage and their relationship ended just like that. That was why she understood.

“But so what?” Inside her, she still felt a strong sense of injustice.

“That proved that what grandfather decided for you was correct. You had a rushed marriage and the foundation of your love was weak. Don’t you suspect Joseph?” Bertie narrowed his eyes.

“Even if he had any motives for marrying me, what did he gain from it now that we are divorced?” Kathy couldn’t figure it out.

Even if he knew about her true identity he didn’t get anything from the Booth family.

“At least, you fell in love with him.” Bertie hit the nail on its head.

She calmly laughed, “Yeah, perhaps.”

Kathy stood up after a while, “I should go back now.”

“Since you made an effort to come over from N City, you might as well see grandfather. He really misses you.”

Kathy didn’t stop.

Suddenly, the alarm rang from the patient room and Bertie immediately went into the room. Kathy also was worried and went in.

The doctors and nurses rushed in.

Zack was gasping for air and clutched his heart. He was frighteningly pale.

Kathy stood by the door and looked at the doctors examining Zack. His condition stabilized after an injection. “Keep a close eye on the patient’s condition.”

Kathy became more relieved after the doctors left.

But grandfather had already seen her.

“Kathy.” He called out to her.

Kathy walked in.

“Grandfather, I…”

“Take a seat and stay with grandfather for a while.” Bertie left the room and closed the door.

“I probably only have a few days remaining. I know that you hate me but I don’t regret it. Joseph won’t give you happiness. My only wish is for you to live a good life.”

Kathy pursed her lips and listened to grandfather quietly.

“The Booth Group is all yours. Now half of it is managed by your mother. The remaining business overseas is handled by Bertie. When you marry him, you can take over the entire Booth Group.”

“Grandfather, why must you make me take over the group?” Kathy looked at her grandfather.

In her opinion, it was beyond her capability to manage a large company.

“If you don’t want, then the Booth Group will not have a successor. Then I’m afraid it will fall into the greedy shareholders’ hands.” Zack said with immense heartache.

To him, that was the worst possible outcome.

“I’m sorry grandfather, please consider another person for this,” Kathy said firmly.

She had considered carefully and decided that her future would not be the successor of the Booth group.

Zack was rather calm when he heard this. Kathy’s reaction was within his expectations.

“Then you must marry Bertie immediately. I’ll hand over the Booth Group to him.”

“What if I were to reject this as well?”

Zack became upset and because he was worked up, his body started to tremble.

He said angrily, “Then I won’t die in peace!”

Won’t die in peace?

Kathy’s face turned pale and bit down hard on her lips.

“The Booth Group is my life’s achievements. Kathy, I won’t hand it over to an outsider.” Zack said non- compromisingly.

“Then what if I’m also not a member of the Booth family?” Kathy looked at Zack.

“You… what do you mean?”

“I’m not a Booth,” Kathy said firmly.

She left immediately thereafter.

Bertie stood by the door and heard their conversation clearly.

He looked at Kathy.

“Is it so hard on you to be married to me?” He asked in disappointment.

In the entire B country, there were only two men who had distinguished status with immense authority and influence. One was Joseph and the other was Bertie.

The women who hoped to be married to him were all from wealthy families and one in a million.

But now the opportunity was given to Kathy and he could tell that she wasn’t interested.

In what way was he inferior to Joseph?

“Yes,” Kathy replied without hesitation.

Bertie suppressed his emotions and ran after Kathy, “I’ll send you home.”

“No need.”

“How long will you be in B country?”

“Perhaps a few days.” © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Kathy frowned. She planned to spend some time with her grandfather but she was extremely disappointed that he kept forcing her just now.

She had hoped that her grandfather would respect her choice but he didn’t.

She could not forgive what the Booth family did to her.

“You won’t come to visit grandfather anymore?”

“Yes, and I won’t go back to the Booth family,” Kathy said solemnly.

Alexia was waiting for her in the car outside the hospital.

Kathy got into the car and she was extremely tired.

“How? Did you see your grandfather?” Alexia asked with concern.

“Yes, but we quarreled, expectedly,” Kathy said calmly.

“So what do you intend to do in the future?”

“Sigh…” Kathy frowned, “I have nothing to do with the Booth family.”

“Kathy, I’m always there for you whenever you need me.” Alexia leaned over to hug her.

Kathy divorced recently and now she decided to cut off ties with the Booth family. Now that Angela wasn’t with her, she could understand her loneliness and helplessness.

“Alexia, thank you.”

“Let’s go for a tour the next few days to relax. School will begin once you go back.”

The two of them came up with a plan and decided to go to a holiday resort next to B Country.

Because it wasn’t the holiday season, there weren’t many people in the resort. Both of them stayed at a hotel and Kathy sat on the balcony and enjoyed the beautiful seaside scenery.

She remembered a vacation with Joseph. Although it was only for a day, it became an unforgettable memory.

It was as if his scent was right beside her.

When Kathy closed her eyes, her mind was filled with images of that dashingly handsome Joseph.

It was… extremely torturing.
