My Billionaire Husband

Kate's mind went blank.

She wasn't ready to face Jimmy with her new identity, let alone as she was accompanied by her "owner."

Swifter than her, the man whose hand was around her waist held her closer to him and asked her naturally, "Is this your friend?"

Also swifter than her, Jimmy stepped forward and said, "You are Mr. Fox of Chasin Group? I am Jimmy York, sergeant of the North Section of LA Criminal Police."

Tristan seemed to remember suddenly, "You are Sergeant York, who helped Kate many times? Glad to meet you."

The two men shook hands naturally.

Kate looked at them blankly. She felt that the two men, especially the one who stood beside her, were excellent actors. They didn't need her help to start the show at all.

Tristan said, "I have to thank you for Kate."

"You are welcome. And Kate thanked me." Jimmy looked at Kate and said shortly.

"Really. How did she thank you?" Tristan looked at Kate curiously.

Kate said gloomily, "I had lunch with him."

Tristan laughed and blamed her lovingly, "How could you do that? He did you a great favor!" And he turned to Jimmy; "We need to invite you to dinner someday. You must come, Sergeant York."

"You are too generous, Mr. Fox." Jimmy seemed not to be able to play that role anymore. "Can I have a word with Kate?"Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#%E2%80%99t-care-about-her-anymore_51813856598613934">#%E2%80%99t-care-about-her-anymore_51813856598613934</a> for visiting.

"Sure," Tristan said readily.

He patted Kate on the shoulder and said, "I will wait for you in the car." And then he strolled to the car, without showing any hesitation.

Kate watched him leave in surprise and drew her attention back to Jimmy. Her eyes met Jimmy's, which were a little exploring and lacked gentleness as usual. Her heart ached.

"Now you are with him?" Jimmy asked first.

She nodded.

"Why?"

Kate couldn't find the answer and heard him ask again, "Because of money?"

She paused a little and nodded.

"How long have you known each other?"

Kate recalled and raised her head. "Are you interrogating me?"

Jimmy realized he was too pushy. "Sorry. I just…just feel it is difficult to accept."

"I have known him for nearly one year. Do you want to ask how I had the chance to get to know him? Because he came to the supermarket, I worked to buy things. He is rich why I…" she smiled sarcastically. "I always lack money."

She lowered her eyes to look at her hands that wrung together and added, "Isn't this common? It was not strange to happen to me either."

Kate didn't know how she did it. Without a script, she played a role successfully. But she had also reached the limit and had to end the conversation.

"I have to go. He is waiting for me."

And she didn't even look back at Jimmy as she turned back to go.

She just walked the first step when she heard him say, "I called you several times these days. Is it because of this that you didn't answer the call? And you mailed the uniform to me. Is it also because of this?"

Her eyes felt sore, but she suppressed them and nodded. Realizing that he might not see her nodding, she said out loud, "I am different now. It is better to do it that way."

Jimmy was speechless.

He thought women's mode of thinking was intricate. Linda's sudden change and flash marriage, Kate's change from an innocent girl to the woman of a rich man…

He felt suffocated.

Seeing that Kate could not wait to leave, Jimmy thought of what he wanted to tell her, raising his voice, "What about Caroline?"

Kate stopped.

Jimmy caught up with her and said in a voice only she could hear, "You don't care about her anymore?"

This was the moment in which Kate wanted to tell the truth. She wasn't too stupid to see the clues.

If the facts were put together, the truth would come to light…but Kate looked to the car waiting. It was dark and shining, outstanding even in the darkness. It was like a beast that was on alert and ready to make a fatal attack at any moment.

She had experienced its speed and cruelty.

Kate took a deep breath and said coldly, "I cannot care so much. She was my friend, and she helped me. But I have my family to protect. And I need to support them; I need to survive and lead a better life myself."

And then she left no time for him to say anything further and walked across the road without seeing the traffic light.

***

Jimmy reached his hand, but it stopped in the air.

What was he to her? Now he was her friend, not a policeman.

He couldn't interrogate her.

As her friend, he had to watch her make her choice.

Kate walked through traffic and reached the black Audi. The door was opened from inside, and she bent down and got in. The door slammed. And Jimmy could see Tristan holding her shoulder and pushing her closer to him. She leaned on Tristan obediently.

Jimmy closed his eyes. It was not his imagination. It was what really happened in his face. He thought it was someone else at first sight of her when she turned back with a man holding her waist.

He didn't feel pain then, like when you were stabbed in the heart, you didn't feel the pain at first. Now he stood and felt his heart was aching.

Three years ago, he helped Kate for the first time, and he categorized her as the same kind of person as himself. They stuck to something they believe in, but now she gave up so suddenly.

If she would give up what she believes in for money, why bother to take so much trouble and such a long time? He was standing in the middle of a crossroads and seeing Kate take another path.

The cell phone in his pocket vibrated, and he snapped back to reality. It was his superintendent. They had new missions.

The new mayor had just arrived one week ago, and he instructed the gangster problems to be solved as soon as possible. There were rumors about gangs involved in drug trafficking in LA.

Jimmy's brain switched to working mode immediately. He reported to his chief on their work today: no substantial clues. But they would keep an eye on them.

After he hung up, Jimmy looked to the empty roadside across the street. He thought perhaps it was not totally a clueless day.

The Audi drove smoothly, and both passengers closed their eyes and took a rest. Kate was immersed in an emotional sea of sadness, guilt, rage, and disgust with herself for being powerless and selfish.

She turned to see the initiator.

Before she drew her attention back, the pair of eyes opened suddenly. They were dark and sharp.

Tristan said casually, "You look like you are going to devour me."

Kate moved her eyes away. She hated him and wanted to kill him or die with him together, but she didn't have the courage.

This self-acknowledgement made her even more resentful.

After a long beat of silence, Tristan said again, "Your behavior was good just now. I am very satisfied."

Kate turned to the window and closed her eyes, sitting like a sculpture.

"Forget him and everything in the past."

After making this order, he reached his hand to grab Kate's, but as soon as he touched her, she threw him away. He grabbed her again, and she threw it away again.

Tristan raised his eyebrows and reached his hand to turn her shoulder to him. Kate fought continuously. She turned back to the window once he loosened her.

Tristan reached his hand to her chin and forced her to face him.

Her face was frozen, and her shining green eyes looked directly into his. Her long eyelashes were trembling, revealing her emotions. Tristan didn't say anything. After staring at her for some time, he tilted his head and pressed his lips on hers.

Feeling the touch of different temperatures, texture, and scent brought with his lips, Kate realized that Tristan was kissing her. She fought instinctively, but he had one hand on her chin and the other hand on the back of her head so she could not move.

A smooth, warm, flexible thing went into her mouth. She was in a rage and bit it without thinking. She tasted blood, but that man didn't escape or utter a sound. He just continued to ravage her mouth.

When his tongue finally retreated, he gave her lips a hard bite. He took revenge.

After this violent invasion, Kate leaned on his arm weakly and listened to his loud heart beating and her own panting.

Her mind went blank, and her heart was empty, as her soul had been s.u.c.k.e.d, and she was only a shell.
