Chapter 4
Katherine's POV
“What?” I could see the shock in Bella’s face. “Your daddy?” Bella glanced at me. “Celeb?” She turned to Jack perplexed.
I blinked from the daze. “Why are you saying nonsense again?” I was also taken aback by what Jack had said and I gently patted his head in this distress situation. “How could he be your daddy?” I asked him and lets out a smile. “That is nonsense.” I turned to the confused Bella.
Bella drew a sharp sigh of relief probably returning to her senses. “Jack, you scared me, how can Celeb be your daddy?” She looked down at Jack. “That would be too exhilarating.”
“Why would it be?” Jack muttered and I saw the frown on his little face, I shook my head and slowly picked him up in my arms and Bella led us to the car she had brought with her.
As Bella drove us to the Silver Cloud Hotel shortly after leaving the airport, Jack excitedly pointed at a huge building towering into the sky that was next to the hotel.
“Look, it’s a very beautiful mom, that building is so comparable to Roy’s building!” Jack seemed so excited to see the beauty.
I turned in the direction he had pointed and I blinked looking at the arc-shaped commercial building standing like a king in the business district and the other buildings around him lost their color compared to it even if they were also huge.
I glanced down at my excited son and couldn’t help but throw cold water on him and he turned to him with a frown on his face. “What if it’s beautiful?” I jut my chin at him. “It’s not yours!”
He looked at me with flat lips, I thought he wouldn’t say anything, but he quickly found words. “Katherine, do you believe I can have such a beautiful building in the future and mine would be more domineering than that.”
I was speechless as I gazed into his serious eyes, and I hugged him and smiled, although I personally felt it was unrealistic, yet I personally felt it was unrealistic, I could not continue to undermine my child’s confidence.
“Jack, that building you see there is Roy’s building and if you call him daddy, he will send it to you directly to you.” Bella said jokingly.
Jack was speechless as he processed her words and suddenly his eyebrows furrowed. “You are both good and bad.” He said.
“Why do you make fun of him?” I asked Bella and she shrugged and we both chuckled and I slowly pat Jack’s hair and looked out of the window.
As the car drove over the overpass, my eyes fell on another familiar building in the downtown area, it was the former Joey enterprise Inc.
Her forehead creased as she recalled how they had taken away her father’s life and everything from her. Kelly, you and Rose must return everything back to me and that day will not be long. Her eyebrows knitted and her eyes darkened.
At Silver Cloud Hotel, I met Philips, president of Haven enterprise Inc. Kananu Branch, he was Roy’s good friend, a handsome man.
I could see the stunned expression in Mr. Philips eyes when he saw me, I smiled when he couldn’t stop staring, I knew I was beautiful, I was always told that wherever I went over the past few years.
I have a delicate oval face, red lips as blood, I was charming but not gorgeous, charming, but not vulgar, and I didn’t look like a woman who had a six year old child at all, I was looking so young and most times i think I was too pretty for anyone.
“Katherine, this is Mr. Philips, Philips, this is Katherine.” Bella decided to introduce us since we were both staring at each other.
Mr. Philips took the initiative to reach out his hand and I could see the smile that spread through his lips and reached his eyes.“Welcome to Seattle sister-in-law, I have heard Roy talk about you for a long time, but I didn’t expect you to be this beautiful.”
I was silent and a little bit embarrassed after hearing him call me sister-in-law, but it was hard to imagine that he and Roy were friends, after all, they both seem to have a big personality gap.
I politely held out my hand and received his handshake. “Mr. Philips, please call me by my name, Mr. Roy and I are not in the relationship you think and you will be my boss in the future.” I corrected him.
I could sense the look in his eyes, he doesn’t believe what I have earlier said about me and Roy having no relationship, I wanted him to believe it, but I guess I just have to do that through actions rather than words.
Mr. Philps glanced down at Jack who was silently standing next to me and he squatted and rubbed his little head. “Hey little guy, you are Jack right?” He asked with raised brows and a gently smile plastered on his lips. “I have heard about you for a long time.”
Jack smiled and parted his lips to speak. “Hello, Mr. Philips, I have longed heard of you.” Jack’s voice was little and funny and it made Philip chuckle.
Philip glanced up at me with a smile. “Sister-in-law, your son is so lovely and he is as beautiful as you.” He said to me and I realized he didn’t want to change the way he addresses me, I wanted to correct him again, but before I could, my son’s voice interrupted me.
“Mr. Philips, I am handsome, not beautiful,” His words made Philip to turn to him with big eyes. “And, you can’t call Katherine sister-in-law, what if you are misunderstood?” He was too clever and most time I wonder who he took his sharp tongue from.
I thought Mr. Philip would get angry, but although he frowned, he couldn’t help bursting into laughter again, jack was really helpless.
