Chapter 146: Distracted Kate

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

I was so sick of her hypocrisy.

I didn’t feel like killing her like before, but I definitely wouldn’t want to be friends with her.

Fortunately, Joanna lived far away from Michael and my room. There was nothing special, and she had no reason to come to our place. I didn’t have to see her annoying smiling face all the time.

“What are you doing?” Joanna held a glass of juice and sat naturally next to Kate and me. She always acted like a hostess in this house.

Kate and I put our notebooks on the table, with our printed handouts and notes next to them.

Any average person could see what we were doing at a glance, but Joanna insisted on asking. It was an unnecessary and lame way to break the ice. There was also a subtle arrogance in her tone, like a teacher greeting her students.

I sighed internally and reluctantly replied, “We’re doing our homework.”

Joanna smiled and took a stack of paper from Kate’s hand. “You don’t mind if I take a look, do you?”

I rolled my eyes. Of course, Kate wouldn’t mind. She was completely in a trance. I suspected that not only did Kate not hear what Joanna was saying, she didn’t even notice that Joanna had come over.

This was the reason why Joanna chose to take something from her. Joanna wouldn’t start with me because she knew I would reject her. Her one-person show wouldn’t continue.

My unfriendliness toward her was obvious. Joanna must have felt it too. I didn’t understand why she would always come to me to join in the fun under such circumstances. Wouldn’t it be better for us just to stay away from each other?

“What are your majors?” Joanna revealed a friendly smile. “Michael said that you encountered some difficulties in your studies. I have PhDs from many schools. Perhaps I can help you.”

“No, there’s no need,” I said stiffly.

Because Michael was busy with the kidnapping of the she-wolf, he didn’t stay at home for long. But when he came back, he spent most of his time with me. And Joanna, at times like this, would try to come up with some excuse to be around us.

I even saw from the window a couple of times that, within a dozen seconds of Michael getting out of the car, Joanna would go over and try to be alone with Michael and try to make some physical contact.

Unfortunately, Michael ignored some of her actions and kept his eyes on me.

She probably just made that up. Michael couldn’t have told her about my studies. She only wanted to make me angry, but I wasn’t as easily offended as I had been a week ago.

All she did was try to separate me from my mate, but failure was the only outcome that greeted her.

“I see you and your friend seem to be in some difficulties, and I’m happy to help.” Joanna pointed to a line of words and said, “Right here, you should...”

“I think I’m going back, Cecily,” Kate suddenly interrupted Joanna.

Kate started to tidy up the things on the table and took out the stack of printed materials from Joanna’s hands. Kate had never liked Joanna. She said that she felt that there was always something hidden under Joanna’s smile, and I had the same opinion.

“It’s getting late. Let me send you off,” I suggested.

I felt that Kate wasn’t in a good state. I was a little worried about letting her go back. On the other hand, I didn’t want to be alone in this space with Joanna.

“I’m fine. See you later.” Kate waved at me. The corners of her mouth curled into a smile, but she was forcing it. I bet that the moment she turned her back on me, the smile on her face would disappear and she would become lost in thought.

I sat in my chair with some worry for my friend.

Kate’s condition after she left her mate really worried me. I had been forced to leave my mate, but the pain of having my soul torn apart was still fresh in my mind; and Kate had left of her own volition, and she was suffering a different kind of inner torment than I was.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Joanna sitting to one side, sipping her drink gracefully.

We were alone in the house now, with the housekeeper and the servants. Sasha had gone to school, Michael and Samuel had gone to save the she-wolf, and they wouldn’t be back until at least the evening.

I started packing my things and returned to my room to finish my homework.

The sun wasn’t as bright in my room as here, but I couldn’t focus on my homework when I looked at Joanna face to face.

Maybe I should ask Michael to help him investigate the missing she-wolf. It would give me more time with Michael and less time with Joanna.

If I was not going to school, working with Michael was a good idea because I could learn a lot from him.
