Chapter 117

Katherine immediately felt exhausted when she entered her villa.She did not know why she was so
tired.

Probably, it was because it was her first time to witness Zack like that earlier.

It was really distressing for her.

Katherine closed her eyes.

"Alexa, please fill the bathtub with water, '' she instructed her Al Assistant.

The alcohol made her a little tipsy.

She sat on the sofa for a while until she realized that she had asked her Al Assistant to help her
prepare the water for her night bath earlier.

She took out her phone and threw it in the space beside her.

After a few moments, her phone screen lit up.

Katherine glanced at it and saw the message sent by Anthony.

Raising her eyebrows, Katherine clicked the message.

She typed a reply: [I just got home]

Anthony replied immediately: [Do you want to have some midnight snacks with me?]

To be honest, she was already fed up with all the relationship talks she had tonight, but she didn't have
the chance to eat that much earlier.

Katherine: [I'm a little tired.]



Her words were not a rejection.

It was the truth, but how Anthony would interpret her message was no longer in Katherine's control.

Anthony: [How about I'll have the food delivered to your place and we eat there?]

For a moment, Katherine was surprised by Anthony's suggestion.

Katherine: [Then, I'm perfectly fine with that.I haven't had any decent meal the whole day]

Anthony immediately sent a reply with an emoji: [We will arrive in thirty minutes, Miss Wilson!]

Katherine couldn't help but smile as she read the last two words of his message.

She typed a response: [Okay.]

Anthony sent another reply filled with funny emoticons.

Katherine laughed but didn't reply anymore.

The dress she was wearing fit her body perfectly.

However, it was too small that she had to maintain her slim figure and flat stomach.

Katherine didn't eat much all night, and she was scared that if she ate too much, her stomach would
get bloated.

She would probably look ridiculous if that happened! Since Anthony had not arrived yet, she took it as
an opportunity to take a bath and prepare herself.

Katherine was already drying her hair when the doorbell rang.

She turned off the hairdryer, grabbed her coat and put it on, and went downstairs to open the door.



The first day of the new year was extremely cold.

It was as if it meant that this year wouldn't be easy.

The room was as warm as spring, and Katherine trembled as soon as she stepped out of the door.

Usually, Katherine would not hurry and slowly move as if she owned all the time in the world.

But now, she actually jogged towards the door to open it.

Before Anthony could even come in, she already smelled the delicious smell of barbeque.

She lowered her head and glanced at the plastic bag that Anthony was carrying.

"It smells so good""

"This was their best-selling midnight snack.I don't know if you like it or not."

Katherine turned around and started walking inside.

"It's okay.I'm not picky,’’ she answered.

The two of them entered the villa.

Katherine took out new extra slippers and offered them to Anthony.

Then, they both headed towards the kitchen to get the plates and utensils.

"Sit down for a while.I just made beef and peanut stew” Katherine said.

She pointed to the dining chair near the kitchen counter.

As if he didn't hear her, Anthony remained on his spot.



He put all the bags on the table, took off his coat and scarf, sat there, and began to take out the food.

Since it was the winter season, it was challenging for people to keep takeout food warm, not to mention
barbeques.

Anthony purposely asked the servers to wrap all the takeout boxes with tin paper and replace the
ordinary takeout boxes with the thick ones so they would be warm for a long time.

After nearly twenty minutes, the barbecue was still as hot as if it had just been removed from the grill.

Katherine came out with the beef and peanut stew.

The smoky and delicious smell of the barbeque filled her whole kitchen, and she couldn't help but
smile.

"I haven't eaten barbeque for quite a while" she confessed.

"I actually thought you didn't like it," Anthony replied.

He took the soup that Katherine handed over and smiled.

"I like all the delicious food there is"

Katherine stretched her hand and gestured the teapot.

"This is green tea.Don't be too formal and stiff around me, okay?"

She said as she poured herself a cup.

She took a sip, picked a bunch of barbequed pork, and raised her head to look at Anthony.

"Then, I wouldn't be too formal and stiff around you."



"Yeah.You don't need to do that.’’ Katherine did what she told him.

She didn't act too formal in front of Anthony.

She lowered her head and started eating the barbeque.

After eating a bunch of barbequed meat, a thought suddenly struck her mind.

"I have an apple-flavored beer in the fridge.Do you want some?" Katherine asked.

Anthony shook his head.

"No, thanks.I'm not really fond of drinking"
