Chapter 28

Katherine stood there for two seconds after she praised Shaun before heading to the third floor.

She changed into a loose shirt and cotton pants and went down again.

When she was back, Shaun had already finished cooking and was standing at the dining table, carrying
a bowl of rice.

So, Katherine went into the kitchen to wash her hands.

When she saw the four dishes and soup on the dining table, she glanced at the young man opposite
her.

"Your cooking skills are not bad," she commented.

"Practice makes perfect,’ Shaun shortly replied.

She understood that Shaun didn't have any interest in having a conversation.

He was not like Alice.

Katherine faintly curved her lips and stopped talking.

Nonetheless, she was not wrong.

Shaun's cooking skills were indeed good.

Katherine, who was bad at the kitchen, felt envious.

After eating and drinking to her heart's content, she finally acted like a concerned big sister.

"You just turned eighteen this year, right?" she asked.



"Yes.”

"Shouldn't you be studying at this age?" she continued asking.

"Alice said that I should sign a contract first, and she'll help me apply for admission here” he politely
answered back.

"Oh, I see.Katherine responded and took a sip of the soup.

"Does your family have any objections to your decision?" she added.

The young man's face immediately turned sour and cold with the topic.

So Katherine had to shrug her question away and drank the remaining delicious soup in the bowl.

"I'll wash the dishes,’’ she said after finishing it.

"I'll wash it,’’ he simply volunteered.

His voice was firm.

The way Shaun said those words seemed like she shouldn't argue with him.

Katherine was right because he had already stood up.

In the end, she just withdrew her hand and didn't argue further with him.

Shaun went to the sink and began washing.

Meanwhile, Katherine cut the honeydew she had just bought and brought it to the living room.

She turned on the television and enjoyed the fruits after dinner.



Shaun quickly washed the dishes and cutleries.

Katherine saw him finished and pointed to the melon on the table, "It's very sweet.’ "Okay."

He consistently used very few and cold words.

He was still young, but Shaun kept acting like an old man.

Katherine threw a glanced at him and said, "I'm going upstairs to do something.Call me if you need
anything."

"Okay..."

‘‘Okay, again?’’

Katherine raised her eyebrows and didn't expect him to say anything else.

She turned around and went upstairs.

However, Shaun didn't come to find her until she fell asleep and woke up again after an hour.

Katherine's happy day ended just like that because when she sat on her bed, she suddenly
remembered what Zack told her at the Blue Water Dining.

Now, she was in a bad mood again.

She got up, opened a bottle of red wine, and drank half of the glass for her to sleep again.

As she wished, she didn't have dreams or nightmares when she slept.

The next morning, the moment she woke up, Katherine nearly had a headache due to countless
consecutive calls from Alice.



While holding her phone, she rubbed her temples and complained, "If I'm not mistaken, it's only 7:15 in
the morning.Why do you keep calling, Alice?"

"I didn't do it on purpose, Katherine.There is a reason.A bad reason!" Alice said in a panic.

"What is it?" Katherine frowned.

"Actually, it's nothing much.It's just that you went trending again in the news.But this time, it was a bit
not positive,’ Alice explained.

Upon hearing this, Katherine didn't expect Alice to explain it clearly.

"Alright, I'll go take a look myself.I'll hang up first”

"Then call me immediately after you finish reading it.Tell me how to deal with this.This news can't be
ignored.It's been a trending topic for a while, which will negatively affect your reputation."

"Got it Katherine said.” As she spoke, she ended the call and logged into Twitter to take a look.After
she found out what was going on, Katherine could not help but smile.She threw her phone on the bed
and turned to go into the bathroom to wash up.It was not a big deal.
