Catherine's POV

I was eating with Benny, but I had been thinking about something else. I was reminded of what my father had said a few days ago before I left for my first day of college when we had breakfast together at the dining table.

His face looked hard, looking at me coldly as usual. "Benny is the best future husband you can get, Catherine. You should feel lucky because it's not easy to find another man like him."

He explained Benny's advantages, which I already knew well. At the same time, I was forced to put down the cutlery to conform to our family rules when my parents were talking. I could only listen and stare at him for as long as I could.

"Not only that, you should also feel grateful to Dad. He was the one who invited you to the party a few years ago so that you could meet him."

I nodded, thanking him softly as he wished.

It was true that my first meeting with Benny was at the party my father had talked about, not at school. The party was attended by various extended fam

    Catherine's POVI had breakfast with my sister, mom and dad. My father was at the head of the table, my mother was on his left side, I was next to my mother, while my sister was on my father's right side. During the quiet breakfast, I could feel my father's gaze for a few moments before his call sounded."Catherine." He called me in a cold, piercing tone. "You mustn't forget to invite Benny Thompson here. You should get closer to him, especially since that young man seems to have an interest in you."The man stated what I already knew and had said before about Benny. I was also impressed by how the background of the man who had long been a friend felt like family to me, rather than all of them who felt like strangers in my life.He was still talking while I was still trying to chew the food slowly, but the inside of my mouth was surprisingly dry, and my food felt hard to swallow. I always felt like this when my father reminded me of his interest in marrying me off to Benny.I was like

    Catherine's POV"Why did you do something like that?" I asked the man who was walking with me.He wrapped his arm around my shoulder, helping me calm down after the way he treated me a moment ago. I was really startled by the sound of the horn coming from his car, and then I saw the man's car waiting in front of the house.Benny admitted that he had been waiting for me to leave the house since earlier, but I didn't realize it. Naturally, he didn't tell me at all. I didn't pay attention to my surroundings because I was still thinking about what my father said about him a moment ago.The man looked at me. "I've called you several times, but you didn't hear me at all, Cath. I didn't know you could be that surprised.""Oh, yes...." I shook my head. I didn't hear his voice at all, so I must have completely lost my focus earlier. "I didn't hear you at all."He nodded, rubbing my shoulder for a moment before releasing his shoulder hug. "I'm sorry. You must have been very surprised...."I nod

    Catherine's POVI was startled when I saw the man's brown eyes, which looked both deep and sparkling beautifully. I could see the twinkling look in his eyes even though there was no particular expression on the man's face.It was the first time in my life that I had seen someone's eyes that clear. The man's hair was also brunette in colour, which seemed to complement his casual but neat appearance, like that of a model student at school.This was the first time I met the man in front of me, but strangely, I felt like I had already seen him on another day. I don't know when and where, but I'm sure that his face is something I've seen before.I didn't think about it further, already coming back from my fixation on his eyes and noticing that his expression and attitude were very different from my assessment of the man's facial features that suited my taste.I grunted, standing up to face him directly and glaring at him as sharply as I could. "Why don't you help me? Isn't helping someone

    Catherine's POV "What's with your expression?" Benny asked when we met. I looked at him for a moment before averting my gaze again. "Ah, I had a chance encounter with that annoying person earlier." "Hm.... I see." He muttered under his breath. "You don't need to think about that annoying person. Let it go, someone like that is not important to think about for too long." I nodded. "Yes, you're right. I really don't want to keep thinking about him." That man did have beautiful eyes and quite an interesting mindset, but thinking about the attitude of the man whose name I didn't know to me still felt annoying. I was silent for a few moments, still unable to get the man out of my mind before looking at Benny. "Ben, I have something to ask you." I finally spoke again. He gave me a curious look. "About what? You can ask it directly." "If I'm not mistaken, a few days ago you talked to a guy, right? Do you know anything about that guy? Like his name or major maybe." The man who had bee

    Catherine's POV I didn't expect that man to be from the Duncan Family. Some time ago, my father had talked about that man's family. This large and reclusive family had its own education system. They favoured the private education concept and never took formal lessons for the public like most other families did. That was because the Duncan Family had its own human resources, educators, and experts who could teach their successors, every member within the Duncan Family, and their fellow family staff. However, recently, the special family made a different choice. Their successor decided to pursue formal public education, and I had the opportunity to meet him. ".... would be useful if you knew the successor well, Catherine." My father said at that moment. I didn't expect what my father said to actually happen, even though I didn't realize it for the first time. Sarah sounded a gasp that brought me back to reality, her eyes looking wide at me. "Wow, you keep watching her...." She smil

    Catherine's POV I finally arrived in front of Nicholas Harvey and got his autograph on the book I had bought just moments ago. My hand then reached out, shaking the hand of my favourite author with a flowery heart. "Thank you, sir," I said with a smile that expressed my current feelings. He returned my smile in kind. "You're welcome. It's nice to meet a loyal fan like you, Miss Kate. I remember that you've been present at each of my past book releases." "Really?" I felt my eyes light up as I listened to her words. "I really do love your books, sir. Wherever or whenever your books are released, and there's an event like today, I'll definitely come to you no matter what." The man laughed. I could see his slow shake of his head and then his eyes that slightly shifted in another direction for a few moments before returning to me. "It looks like your girlfriend is angry that we chatted for too long. Come back soon and comfort him, Miss Kate." I wondered a little at the meaning of Nic

    Catherine's POVI'm a designer, so there was nothing wrong with the red dress that looked glamorous and glittered under the light. Over the years, I've gotten used to making all sorts of clothes, including something similar to this sexy dress seen in front of me.The problem was that I had never worn a dress that was cut low in the front and too revealing in the back. All the models I've hired have used dresses made by me, but this time, I'm like a model who can't help but wear clothes that don't match the clothes I usually wear.I don't know what mom, or maybe my dad, was planning to do with this dress. I was never given the chance to complain, so all I could do was accept their orders as usual.I knew that, in the end, my purpose for being in this family was to be courted by a big family that could be useful to the Varma Family in the future. Perhaps there was already a man who had personally asked me to wear a dress like this, or they just wanted to change things up since they hadn

    Catherine's POVI was falling. I was sure I felt pain where my arm had been hit and heard a ripping sound that I knew was coming from my dress, but there was something strange. My body doesn't feel pain at all, but rather, there's something quite soft holding me back from falling.I looked down and realized that someone had caught me in our stacked position. I turned my head to look at the person's face. It was Edwin.I could only stay transfixed by his calm face. His hazel eyes captivated me again, and I couldn't move from my position for a few moments. But then I remembered the tearing sound coming from my dress and finally saw the existence of the tear with widened eyes.The man's voice was also heard. "Are you going to continue being on top of me?""Sorry," I said and immediately stepped away from him.The two cats I had managed to grab had already jumped down from my hands, made loud noises as if in protest, exhausted themselves, and chose to stay a few steps away from us.

    Catherine's POVEdwin was still next to me. He exhaled while his face looked unfriendly and cold as usual. Still, even with all that, the man did not immediately deny my words aloud or dismiss them with ridicule.He didn't look at me but clearly spoke to me when he finally opened his mouth and spoke with his friend. "So you consider me an ally."I nodded.All this time, I had only thought of him as an annoying guy. He knows his position well and sometimes puts obvious boundaries on others. I didn't think he could make himself any friendlier than the people at the party or the students on campus, but he wasn't as cold as I thought.He had done me a favour, and I also felt quite comfortable when talking to the man who was always straightforward. Nothing felt fake in our friendship, which he had yet to fully acknowledge, so I felt he could be my ally."I feel that we are getting closer. So, Duncan, if there's anything I need, you should do me a favour." I smiled. "Whatever it is."The ma

    Catherine's POVI was at the party. This party was tedious, like the official high society events I'd been attending. I felt uncomfortable among many people I didn't know well. Still, everyone who greeted me acted as if we had known each other for a long time.I knew they were just acting politely, following every action everyone in high society should follow. Still, I also felt that their actions were fake. I never knew what they talked about other than greeting me because I belonged to something other than the inner circle of the supposed upper class.My father might know, but I also had no interest and chose to remain in the outer circle that could only see whatever could be seen.I held my wrist as I exhaled. No one else had any intention of greeting me again, and neither did I. I already felt bloated from drinking wine in between events, so I didn't know what else to do while waiting for the event to end.My gaze shifted, spotting one of the empty verandas and finally heading the

    Benny's POVI was looking for Catherine around campus.She was usually in a project room doing her own work, but she was nowhere to be seen. I checked the room she usually used and then a few other rooms, to the surprise of a few people.I apologized and continued to search around there for a while.My search turned to the classrooms used by her department, but she still needed to be seen. She was supposed to let me know if there was a schedule change or if she was leaving early, but I still need to get that from her."Could she be in the library?" I asked myself.I was busy, but I had seen her enter or leave the library several times in the past few days. I always went up to her at those times if I could, but sometimes I just said hello to her before walking away to finish my business.I never found out why or asked her directly. Still, perhaps she was looking for a new atmosphere after only doing her assignments alone for some time, other than the group assignments, which were both

    Catherine's POVA week had passed. After that incident, the things Edwin talked about made me feel that the guy wasn't so bad after my first bad impression of him.He was still cold and annoying, but we had met several times, either by accident or because our classes were near each other on several occasions. Although our class schedules are different, the end times are pretty close.This time, I accidentally saw that guy who was in the library and quite close to the transparent window. I tried to attract his attention from the outside, but he didn't look at me and was still focused on the book he was reading.With a smile, I finally walked in and sat down in front of him, putting down the lecture book that was previously in my arms and looking at him. At that moment, he seemed to notice my presence and looked at me."Why are you sitting here?" he asked in a low voice and frowned.I was still smiling, following his way of speaking while flipping through my book. "You're not waiting fo

    Catherine's POVThe things Edwin said surprised me. I was thinking of freedom when I said the previous thing, but I didn't say it directly until I felt like he could read my mind.He smiled faintly, but I could see in his gaze that it wasn't a smile at all but something more akin to sadness that I had only seen once before. The man chuckled, shifting his gaze to another direction."Whether you're a man or a woman, freedom is a difficult thing to obtain."I was silent but intrigued by his words. All this time, I only knew that my family life on the female side had always been stuck with the male side, so I didn't really care about the things that men had to face.Men always got the upper hand and the favor of everyone more easily than women unless the woman followed the Varma family rules to the letter.Sarah never told me about her family, while Benny only listened to my stories so far, so I didn't know it too well.Maybe things weren't that different in other families, so he could sa

  • Ex-Lover's Regret   CHAPTER 378

    Catherine's POVI don't know how I ended up in this situation, where I just followed my father's words to attend a high society meeting and then met Edwin by chance.That man had the same expression as me. He looked bored, listening to the words of the people around him who were actually of a similar age to us. Their words were mostly unconvincing and more like lies.I drank the tea in my cup, took a sip and bumped into the man unintentionally. I ignored him, pretending that I didn't recognise him or realise that we had locked eyes. I could still feel his directed gaze on me.I should have been able to mingle more if I really wanted to follow my father's words so that our family could expand our connections and look for other potential husbands, but I couldn't do that at all. I could only join the gathering and listen to every word of the people who took turns talking.I came out of the restroom after finishing my business, staring at the meeting room that seemed crowded with the peop

    Edwin's POVThe thing that always made me remember Catherine was her innocence, like a child or an adult who still acted naively among many people who had other traits that were unpleasant to look at.In a way, I felt that she was annoying. She was too meddlesome and found it difficult to follow the words of others, and her daily life didn't seem to be far from her own carelessness.I knew that she was quite active in class and had taken on the role of class president several times in some courses, but she also didn't always show the role of a class president who should be able to manage herself well and without any mistakes.Is it normal for there to be students like her? She wasn't acting like she should. I wondered and wondered to myself about the existence of that woman who had caught my attention.She was bothering me in that way.I always did everything perfectly. There was nothing I wanted to miss, no mistakes or details. I always made sure my work had no flaws, and I had to be

    Edwin's POVI was already in the car, looking at the suit that Catherine had given me a moment ago.I noticed that the appearance of the suit was not at all similar to the suit I lent her, but it was good enough to wear. In between my daydreams, my attention was slightly distracted by the memory of that woman's face when I found out she was eavesdropping and hurriedly handed me this new suit.She was so stubborn.I knew that she followed me after I deliberately ignored her voice calling my name, but I didn't know that she could eavesdrop on conversations that had nothing to do with her. I exhaled, already putting the suit back into its box and stuffing it into the paper bag. "She's a pretty annoying woman."I started the car, exiting the campus grounds to head home.There was no denying that the annoying woman was also quite interesting and easy to remember. As many said, she was a beautiful woman who provided a boundary for the people around her, but not all.There are other rumors

    Catherine's POVEdwin was receiving a declaration of love.I realized that when I heard the words of the woman who was looking at him expectantly. She seemed to be waiting for his answer, but he was silent. I moved my body slightly, looking at the woman who had not completely given up.I couldn't help but listen to the woman who again said something else to declare her love for the man."I'm not doing this suddenly. We've been together many times, and I'm always comfortable when I'm with you," she explained.Her gaze seemed to be trying to captivate the man in front of her, who seemed to flinch. "I remember that you also helped me with my assignments recently. That was very helpful. I want us to get to know each other better after we start this relationship, Edwin."I listened to everything and watched silently. After a while, I was finally able to recognize the woman who turned out to be from the White Family. Many men liked her and even received proposals for marriage, but she had d
