Love Is Fair by Kerri novel Chapter 241

Chapter 241 A Man–to–man Conversation

Catherine knelt on the carpet in front of the tea

table in the living room. From time to time, she

would peek at the three people on the sofa who

were staring at her fiercely: her father, aunt Hailey,

and uncle Brook.

It was really stressful for Catherine, and Matthew,

who stood behind Catherine, was also terrified by

this theatrical situation.

Although he did not do anything wrong, he always

felt that more than half of the anger of the three

people was coming for him. After a moment of

silence, Ryan said sharply, “You think you are old

enough to play a trick on your uncle Brook?

Apologize now!”

Her father was referring to those drugged pistachio

that Catherine gave to Brook before.

That was indeed Catherine‘s fault, so she turned to

Brook and admitted her mistake honestly, “It was

all my fault, uncle Brook. I shouldn’t give you those

pistachios. You must have suffered a lot. I‘m really

sorry, you can hit me if it could make you feel

better.” Catherine reached out her little hand to Brook.

Before Brook said anything, Catherine withdrew

her hand and said, “No, no, no. It‘ll be a lot of pain

here. Maybe you could hit my butt. It will be less

painful.”

Then she turned around and, like what she used to

do when she was a child, bent down at Brook. Matthew widened his eyes. What was she doing

now? Although Catherine was facing him, he was

tall enough to see everything. The tips of

Matthew‘s ears turned red quickly. He immediately

stepped forward and picked Catherine up.

Catherine felt her body suddenly become light and

the next moment, she found herself standing in

front of Matthew. Wow! It felt like she was flying

just now.

Matthew picked up Catherine from the ground, and

as expected, when he was standing steady again, he

found Brook and the other two people were all

looking at him with frigid glares. He quickly let go of Catherine and felt chilly from

m

his spine. He tried hard not to look at Hailey and Ryan‘s eyes and said to Brook, “Mr. Kirkland, the little girl was doing nothing but giving you some

nuts to eat. You don‘t need to make such a big fuss

about that, right? Are you angry because your

stomach is not good and you have a problem

digesting it?”

Matthew felt that this was the only possibility. After

all, what bad a child could be?

So he tried to smooth things over and said, “My

stomach is not very good, so I always got some

stomach medicine in my car. I can give you two

boxes later if you need them.”

Brook narrowed his eyes and tried his best to not

blurt out, ‘I‘m not weak like you do, you weirdo!

However, Catherine stood behind Matthew, feeling

ecstatic and thinking, ‘Dear God, he protected me!

Sure enough, he liked me. It was just that he was

stubborn and was too embarrassed to say it!

Finally, I got a machismo as a boyfriend and he

loved me very much!

Brook sneered in his heart, ‘Well, this man wants to

show off in front of our girl, hum?‘

He smiled and said, “Since Mr. Holland asked for

mercy for Catherine, I will spare her this time. She

made great pistachios. I will ask someone to send

you some to taste.”
