My Sweetheart

“Do you agree?” Veronica raised her eyebrows.

“Yes. He doesn’t look focused. Maybe, to him, she’s no different from others,” Kathy answered calmly.

“Are you not willing to marry my brother? Because it seems so.”

“Of course not. Joseph is impeccable from his status to his personality. There’s nothing to dislike about him.”

“You’re right. That’s why many girls like him,” Veronica agreed.

Her personality was similar to Kathy’s.

“I think I spoke too much. I must have been bored spending a long time not being able to come out. Now that I’m out, I feel relaxed,” Veronica continued, “ I will go back too my room first. I don’t feel well.”

Looking at her shadow, Kathy looked down at her feet.

Even though she’s wearing a skirt, she had a pair of prosthetic legs.

She’s just in her early twenties, but she didn’t have the enthusiasm that she’s supposed to have at her age.

At night, her grandfather asked her to stay back for dinner. However, Joseph left as he had business. He would pick her up when he’s done.

Kathy sighed in relief when she knew that Diego wouldn’t be around. She’s not afraid of him, but she didn’t want to be with him either.

Joseph came back after finishing his job. He went up to Veronica’s room after knowing that she came back.

“Why are you messing around?” He asked her angrily.

Veronica lifted her head and looked at her brother. Her lips curved into a smile as she spoke, “Brother, I finally meet you.”

“Why did you come back?” Joseph remained strict.

She asked him, “Don’t you want to see me?”

Joseph went silent. He felt pity for her.

“I know that you’re worry about me. However, I can’t hide from him forever, can I?”

“I will still be worried about you.” Joseph looked serious.

However, Veronica smiled and said, “This happened a long time ago so don’t be too worried about it. I just want to attend your wedding. He won’t be around.”

“He is.”

Veronica’s expression slightly changed.

“I will protect myself this time.”

“Veronica.”
