Chapter 947
‘If that’s your decision then let’s do it your way, Katharine said, visibly relieved
She had initially wanted to help her brother, but Peterson had immediately brought up the issue of
interests. Without any personal gain, there was no need to sacrifice the rest of her life.
Seeing Katharine visibly relax, Peterson curiously asked. “Why are you the only woman who has
discussed marriage with me but doesn’t want to marry me?
Peterson’s directness prompted Katharine to be open about it. “Because I already have someone I love
‘I see,” Peterson responded.
What about you?” During their conversation, Katharine had completely relaxed and playfully smiled as
she questioned Peterson. “If you claim that you don’t need marriage o secure the family’s status, why
do you keep meeting those potential alliance panners over and over again?”
Because when I choose a partner, I also have to consider their family background and social status.”
Peterson paused before continuing, “Otherwise, I’ll end up like my brother, constantly arguing with his
wife
Catharine was puzzled, “Why would they argue?”
Peterson responded while driving. “Only through arguing can they resolve the conflicts ausing from
differences in family background and education
Naturally, Katharine understood this. “So you’ve had such an experience”
Peterson raised an eyebrow, “Yeah”

His current demeanor was in stark contrast to his previous gentlemanly image, which made Katharine
burst into laughter.
The tension between the two had completely dissipated. They exchanged contact information
After a leisurely drive around town, Peterson dropped Katharine at her place
As Katharine was unbuckling her seatbelt, she noticed a shadow lurking in the corner near her front
door.
She paused if she wasn’t mistaken, that shadow was Caleb
“Looks like the guy you’ve fallen for has the hots for you too.”
Peterson’s calm voice brought Katharine back from her thoughts.
“He rejected me”
Meaning he wouldn’t fall for her.
“Do you want to test him?”
“How?”
Katharine turned to look at the excited Peterson
Without answering her, he got out of the car, walked over to the passenger side, and extended his hand
to her.
“Just pretend that our date went swimmingly, and let’s see if he comes out”
Katharine figured the scaredy–cat Caleb wouldn’t dare, but she still played along and placed her hand
in Peterson’s.
He led her towards the Spencer family’s front door, occasionally slowing down to adjust Kathanne’s
hair messed up by the wind.
“Forgive me if my acting is a bit rusty, it’s my first time.”
Katharine found Peterson quite amusing and couldn’t help but chuckle.
Her soft and tranquil smile made Caleb clench his fists
Katharine usually wore a cold hard expression, rarely did she smile like this, but now she was grinning
at Peterson.
Feeling uneasy. Caleb didn’t want to see Katharine smiling at other men
But..
It was actually Caleb who gave up first, wasn’t it?
Even though it made him uncomfortable, he had to silently endure it
“What does the person you love do? Peterson seemed surprised that Katharine would love a
bodyguard
But everyone has their own choices, and Peterson didn’t comment since he didn’t know the reasons.
“We’re at the doorstep now Let’s embrace each other, and if he doesn’t come out, then I can only
suggest you give up.” When Katharine heard those words, she chuckled bitterly She had already given
up, but she responded when Peterson hugged her.

The sight of the two tightly embracing each other was seen by Caleb, as if they had a mutual
understanding and had already confirmed their relationship. He felt his heartbeat accelerate, wanting to
rush forward and separate them, but he suppressed his emotions.
In the face of the mission, he couldn’t prioritize women. It was something Mr. Penrod had always taught
them since they were young, and Caleb kept it firmly in mind.
“No need to test him anymore, I admit defeat”
Hearing this, Peterson let go of Katharine and looked at her sympathetically
Peterson stepped back, looking at the Spencer family’s front door
“Go in, I’ll handle things with
your father”
Katharine thanked Peterson and asked where he would be staying tonight, considering he had come
specifically to see her
1 will return to my country overnight to meet the next alliance partner,” Peterson replied.
Katharine smiled and said, “Well, I wish you success”
Peterson raised an eyebrow at Katharine, then turned and got into his car.
Katharine watched the car drive away before slowly walking towards her home..

Just as she was about to push open the door, she stopped in her tracks, as if waiting for Caleb to come
over.
However, she waited for a long time, but there was no sign of him. Katharine gave up completely.
