Chapter 2691

Rachel put the glass down on a nearby table and glanced impassively at Steven, who was standing at
the door. “Is this the kind and loving girlfriend of yours you told me about?”

Kate faltered momentarily at the sight before her. She furrowed her brow and shot Rachel a puzzled
look. “What‘re you doing here?” Was it not Gwen who came home with Steven?”

“What‘s wrong? You don‘t like seeing me here?” Rachel curled her lips into a smirk and crossed her
arms in front of her chest. Then, she leaned against the chair and gave Kate a disdainful once–over.
“Have I disappointed you? Who did you expect to see standing here, if not me? Do you need my help
in contacting her and getting her here?”

Kate‘s expression darkened upon hearing this. She narrowed her eyes and glared at Rachel.” Don‘t
you dare!”

“What makes you think I don‘t?” Rachel stood up, picked up her doctor‘s bag, and sauntered in Kate‘s
direction. “Considering the fact that I even dared to accept your precious fiance‘s invitation to come and
examine him…”

She stood defiantly in front of Kate and finished her sentence, “There‘s nothing else I‘m afraid of.”

With that, she circled past Kate and strode away. Kate remained motionless, her hands clenched into
fists next to her. Steven furrowed his brow, glancing at Rachel‘s retreating figure, and barked orders at
his assistants, “Please see Dr. Liddell off.”

“No need!” Rachel‘s voice rang out before the assistants could even answer. “I can hail a taxi on my
own. I wouldn‘t want Ms. Miller to misinterpret our relationship.”

The color drained from Steven‘s face.



A split second later, he turned to stare at Kate. “What‘re you doing here?” This was his private
residence that he had just purchased two weeks ago without anyone‘s knowledge, the reason being
that he wanted someplace where he could escape Kate and the Hughes family‘s prying eyes. Despite
knowing that everyone had his best interests in mind, he could not help feeling annoyed at their
attention. Therefore, whenever he felt frustrated, he would spend some time alone in this house.

Moreover, he always thought that no one knew about the existence of this estate, apart from his two
assistants, so how did Kate manage to find him here? “..” Kate furrowed her brow. The truth was, she
had known about this house from the moment Steven signed the contract behind her back.

She had stationed her men to keep an eye on him 24/7 from the moment he awoke from his coma. Just
recently, she thought that Steven had finally been rid of all the conscious thoughts

that belonged to Luke, which was why she had stopped tracking him so much. Never had she imagined
that just a week after she stopped following Steven around, those bitches Gwen and Luna would arrive
in Saigen City and try to steal her man! “Have you been following me all along?” Steven‘s eyebrows
knitted tightly as he interrupted her before she could even explain herself. “If you hadn‘t, you wouldn‘t
have managed to find this place at all.”

He closed his eyes and let out a bitter chuckle. “Is this how little you think of me, Kate?”

Kate was silent for a long time before turning around and leaping into Steven‘s arms. “Steven, I only did
this because I care too much about you! I love you so much that I wanted someone to protect you
every minute of the day! If you don‘t like me doing this…I‘ll stop, and I won‘t do it again in the future.”

Steven‘s voice lowered to barely above a whisper. “Apart from tracking my every move…” He lowered
his head to meet Kate‘s shimmery, wide–eyed gaze. “What else have you been doing behind my
back?”
