    Chapter 370


    Jayden held the steering wheel with both hands, looked ahead, and briefly exined the reason why


    he appeared there. "I have a coborative project in Fontan, so I came to have a look. I saw you on the


    street just now, and I thought I recognized you. When I saw that you were looking harried, I chased


    after you to find out what was going on and saw that those people were hunting you down. So, I drove


    the car over, thinking that I could help, but I didn''t expect that I would actuallye in handy."


    Thinking about the situation just now, Katherine smiled faintly. "Thank you for showing up on time."


    "There''s no need to be so polite to me." Jayden smiled slightly. He nced at the rearview mirror,


    paused for a moment on Katherine''s face, then changed the subject.


    "But who are those people? Why are you here?"


    Katherine thought about it and decided not to hide anything from him. Then, she began to brief him


    about the situation. However, she still concealed her purpose of going to Zoscistan. Hearing that,


    Jayden frowned before saying, "These people not only hijacked the ne but also chased you here?


    What are they trying to do? Why are you going to Zoscistan all of a sudden?"


    He asked in a very casual way as if he cared for her from the bottom of his heart. Katherine hesitated


    for a while, but still didn''t tell the truth. She just said vaguely, "There are some things I have to deal


    with. As for…"


    Before she could finish her sentence, Joaquin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly held her


    hand. He then looked straight ahead, and through the rearview mirror, he fixed his gaze on Jayden''s


    face.


    "Kathy and I haven''t had time to go on our honeymoon since we got married. Since we have nothing


    else to do right now, we''re just going to Zoscistan for a few days to rx."\


    Hearing this, Katherine turned her head to look at him. She met his smiling gaze, then pondered for a


    while before she spoke again. "Yeah, that''s right."


    This time, Jayden''s smile fell, and his dark eyes dimmed a little. He raised his eyes and looked in the


    rearview mirror. After meeting Joaquin''s gaze for a moment, his eyes moved away expressionlessly.


    "Right." A t response came from him, and he didn''t ask anymore.


    He merely added, "It''s not safe for you to be outside now, so I''ll take you back to my ce where you


    can stay temporarily. I don''t know when these hired mercenaries will show up again, so justy low and


    wait for trouble to pass. You can leave after that."


    Katherine thought about it and felt that he was right, so she did not refuse his offer. "Thanks then."


    Jayden smiled lightly. His tone was much gentler as he replied, "I''ve said this before. Considering the


    rtionship between you and me, there is no need to be so polite."


    What he said made Joaquin feel a little upset.


    Rtionship? Ha, what rtionship? Everyone can see Jayden''s intentions. Now that he''s saying this


    in front of me, what is he really trying to do?


    Currently, Joaquin felt a little distraught, but considering Katherine''s safety, he had to do what this man


    said.


    After a while, the car stopped at the gate of the vi. Jayden got out of the car first, then opened the


    rear door for Katherine. "We''re here."


    Katherine thanked him, looked up at the vi, and raised her eyebrows. "The environment here is


    great. It''s quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, and it''s not far from the city center. Your choice of location


    is very good."


    While she was talking, the three of them walked in. When Joaquin saw the interior decoration, his eyes


    flickered slightly. He then said tly, "Mr. Hall, you''ve been living in Cechirus for a long time, right? I


    didn''t expect that you would own property here. Besides, it seems that you oftene here to stay."


    Jayden nced at him, and his tone was equally indifferent. He did not sound as warm and gentle as


    he was talking to Katherine. "Well, I do have a coborative project in Fontan, so I have toe here


    from time to time. Thus, it''s not unusual for me to have a residence here."


    Joaquin didn''t say anything more, and Katherine didn''t ask any more questions either. Soon, Jayden


    quickly allocated rooms for them. Originally, he had allocated two rooms, but Joaquin refused with a


    smile, "Mr. Hall, we don''t need two rooms; one is enough."


    He nced at Katherine with a smile, and his tone was smug as he continued, "Kathy and I are already


    husband and wife, so it is natural for us to sleep together."


    Katherine was speechless. Her expression was slightly awkward, and she kept silent.


    Jayden''s eyes darkened at that, but as if he didn''t hear those words, he simply said to Katherine,


    "Everything you need is inside. If you need anything else, just tell me. Have a good rest first, and you


    cane down to eatter."


    "Okay." Katherine nodded. She wanted to thank him out of habit, but then she remembered what he


    said on the road just now, so she just smiled and said nothing more.


    In fact, she and Jayden were good friends before, but because she sensed his romantic intentions and


    knew that her feelings did not reciprocate, she began to distance herself from him. If it was during the


    usual times, she would definitely not ept his arrangement and trouble him like this. But she had to


    ept it considering the current situation.


    She went back to the room first, and Joaquin was a step behind her. He stared at Jayden withplex


    emotions in his eyes. When Jayden looked back at him, his mouth suddenly and slowly parted into a


    smile.


    "Mr. Levisay, you seem to be very hostile toward me."


    There was no expression on Joaquin''s face, but his eyes slightly narrowed. After a moment of silence,


    he spoke slowly with a calm tone.


    "It''s not really hostility. Mr. Hall, you saved Kathy and me from danger. I am very grateful to you for this


    matter. However, we have to consider each matter on its own. I hope that we can always live in peace


    like this."


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    He didn''t make things very clear and simply pointed it out vaguely, but his underlying meaning was


    unmistakable. After Jayden listened to it, his eyes lowered slightly, and then he said in a low voice, "Mr.


    Levisay, you have a lot of thoughts in your mind, don''t you? Kathy and I have a past that you, a


    later, won''t be able to understand. But there''s no need to care about it. After all, whether you care


    or not, nothing will change."


    These words sounded a bit provocative. Hearing that, Joaquin suddenly let out a snort. "So what if I''m


    ater? Mr. Hall, the important thing is that my rtionship with her prevails. As for whether


    anything will change, I don''t care. As long as Kathy is by my side, that''s enough."


    The two of them were arguing, but their argument was full of vague riddles. After finishing his sentence,


    Joaquin turned around and entered the room in front of Jayden. Like a winner, he closed the door with


    a haughty expression.


    Now that Jayden was alone, his face suddenly turned ugly. He knew that he couldn''t hide his feelings.


    In fact, he never hid them at all, but he didn''t expect that Joaquin would care so much. Heh, it seems


    that this man has genuine feelings for Katherine. But so what? As long as she is whom I want, I will


    grab her at all costs!


    Immediately, he called the maid over, told her to prepare lunch, and then went back to his room.


    His room was separated from Katherine''s guest room by some distance, and the sound instion here


    was excellent, so he took out his phone without any hesitation and made a call.
