Chapter 151
"Why do you have so many heads, Joaquin Levisay? I'm starting to feel sick. Stop moving around."
After Joaquin brought Katherine around to make toasts, he was just about to take her back to their
seats when she suddenly threw herself on him and tightly held his head. She then squinted at him, her
face as red as an apple.
Immediately, Joaquin's heart skipped a beat, and he could not help but be on high alert when he
recalled what happened after she drank last time.
"Have you been drinking alcohol?" He grabbed her restless hands and asked with a frown.
Hearing that, she tilted her head and looked at him, all baffled. "Alcohol? What kind of alcohol? Is it
nice? I want it if it is nice. Can you give me some? Joaquin, give me the drink now. Where did you hide
the alcohol? Why can't I find it?"
With that, she started getting handsy with him, and she almost took off his suit jacket in the process.
His face suddenly fell then. To prevent her from making a scene here, he hugged her by the waist
before they turned around and left.
"Hey, we are not done toasting yet! Why are you leaving already?" The groomsmen and bridesmaids
were dumbfounded when they saw him stepping away with her in his arms.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBefore they could even stop Joaquin, he had already scurried off into the elevator.
"Old Mr. Foster, the bride and groom have run away." The two ran back to inform Zachary with helpless
expressions on their faces.
The news momentarily surprised the old man. "What do you mean?" he asked in confusion. "What do
you mean by they have run away? Where did they run off to?"
"Uh, we don't know. They were doing their toasts a moment ago when the groom suddenly hugged the
bride and walked away halfway," the two of them innocently explained.
"What—"
Winnie suddenly nudged him, stopping him from asking anything more. "Geez, you old man. How can
someone your age understand the romance between young people? It is sufficient for them to just get
done with the ceremony. So what if they don't know all of their relatives? Kathy and Joaquin might be
making a great-grandchild for us right now! Let me think of a name for our future grandson. However, I
do much prefer a girl, though." She then began to fantasize about what her future grandchild would
look like.
On the other side, Joaquin had carried Katherine into the elevator. Throughout their ride, she wrapped
her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist as though he was a tree and she was a koala.
She buried her face in the nape of his neck, where each of her warm breaths hit against his nape,
sending thrills throughout his heated body.
The elevator door finally opened when they reached the top floor. He then walked out of the elevator
with her still in his arms and opened the door before entering the room.
"Joaquin, I don't feel so good," she sweetly breathed, causing him to gulp lightly.
Suppressing his desire, he rasped, "Just talk, Katherine. You don't have to move around."
When she heard that, she narrowed her eyes and looked at him with hazy eyes before she suddenly
cackled and leaned into him.
That was when his self-control completely snapped. Seizing her hands, he carried her and stalked into
the room.
"No!"
Katherine suddenly sobered up then and shoved him away will full strength.
He was able to think rationally again once he fell onto the ground from the sudden shove. Seeing the
horrified expression on her face, he felt excruciating pain as though something was clawing at his
heart.
"Katherine?" he tentatively called out.

"Get away from me! Don't come here! Don't touch me! Boohoo, no..." Eyes closed, she hugged herself
tightly and shrank into a ball as she unconsciously murmured. She looked like she was in pure agony.
"Okay, okay. Katherine, I won't touch you. I promise I won't touch you." Seeing her like this broke his
heart, so he could not help but step forward and put his arms around her as he gave her gentle pats on
the back of her torso to soothe her emotions.
The familiar scent of his body seemed to gradually calm her down as she did not continue to struggle
and resist. She quietly stayed in his arms and fell into a deep slumber soon after.
He lowered his head to look at her when he no longer felt any movement, only to see that she was still
wearing a frown while her breathing had already evened out.
He then sighed and looked at himself. While Katherine went to dreamland, he was left to deal with the
burning desire in him that she had lit up.
After picking her up and tucking her in, he had no choice but to take a cold shower in the bathroom.
Later on, Katherine had a nightmare yet again, where she was back at the bar she was in five years
ago. The man's solid back and his silver mask that shone under the bright and colorful lights gave her a
sense of deja vu.
"No!" She woke up from her dream with a start. When she regained consciousness, she realized that
she was laying in a hotel bed, still wearing her wedding gown from before. Seeing nothing out of the
norm about her body made her heave a sigh of relief.
