Chapter 44 He is willing to give his heart to her
"She's just a bitch!" Fiona refused to mention that Katherine was her brother's wife, denying Katherine the chance to boast. The classmate felt a bit awkward. She didn't understand why Fiona disliked Katherine so much and said, "Fiona, your family is really wealthy. Your brother even donated a building!"
The Melville family has always kept a low profile. Although everyone at school knows that Fiona comes from a well-off family, they don't know she is part of the Melville family, let alone that her brother is Alexander Melville!
Fiona wasn't in the mood to hear such flattery and asked, "Is my brother still at school?"
The classmate replied, "He should be in the principal's office discussing the building donation!"
Fiona stood up, walked out of the classroom in a hurry, and angrily called Gavin on her phone.
"Hey! Didn't you say you would make my brother, I mean, my husband, completely disgusted with Katherine? It's been so many days already. What have you done?"
Gavin was also helpless. He explained, "Mrs. Melville, I'll be honest with you. I've been near The Galatea Manor for several days, but I haven't seen Katherine, so I didn't have a chance to do anything! I really don't know where she has been these days!"
Fiona realized that Gavin didn't know Katherine didn't live at The Galatea Manor, so, of course, he couldn't see her.
"I'll send you Katherine's address later. Make sure you get it done today!"
Gavin said, "It's great to have your help!"
After hanging up the phone, a look of resentment flashed in Fiona's eyes.
Since Katherine entered The Melville Manor, Sandra, and Alexander haven't been as doting on her as before and always find fault with her.
Moreover, the ideal sister-in-law in her heart is not a country girl like Katherine but Scarlett!
Scarlett comes from a good family and has always been very kind to her. For Scarlett's sake, she wants to drive the annoying Katherine out of The Melville Manor!
Principal's office.
The president of Janetrick University invited Alexander to the office to discuss the details of the building donation.
After everything was arranged, the president respectfully saw Alexander off.
Katherine had been by Alexander's side the whole time and witnessed the process of the building donation. She was very surprised.
After bidding farewell to the president, she left with Alexander.
The university corridor was quiet at this moment.
Katherine turned her head slightly and looked up at the tall and handsome Alexander, asking, "Why did you come to our school today?"
Alexander continued walking, heard Katherine's question, and looked at her, saying, "When you asked me if I was free on Monday, it was for this graduation ceremony, right?"
Katherine didn't deny it and said, "Yes!"
"Why didn't you finish your sentence back then?"
"I thought about it and felt that it wasn't worth bothering you with such a small matter."
Alexander said indifferently, "Indeed, it's not worth my time."
Katherine knew it!
Alexander added, "But for you, the graduation ceremony is an important ritual in life. At least for now, you are still my wife, and I don't mind fulfilling your requests for such occasions."
Katherine smiled faintly and said, "Then you don't need to show off your wealth by donating a building, right?"
Alexander defended himself, "Do you think I did it just for you? I want to support our country's education and make a contribution to society through this opportunity. You are just one of the reasons."
Katherine rolled her eyes and said, "I see! You are truly noble!"
Then why did he donate the building in her name? And he even agreed with the president to name the building "Katherine Building" once it's completed!
It would be difficult for her to distance herself from Alexander in the future!
"Katherine!"
Hearing someone calling her, Katherine stopped and turned around.
A handsome and sunny young man ran over.
He was her junior classmate.
Katherine asked in confusion, "Nathan, what's up? Do you need something?"
Nathan shyly touched the back of his head and smiled, saying, "Katherine, congratulations on your graduation!"
Katherine smiled and replied, "Thank you."
Nathan noticed the extraordinary man next to Katherine and asked curiously, "Who is this?"
Katherine answered, "He is my uncle!"
Alexander was taken aback.
Nathan immediately greeted politely, "Hello, Sir!"
Alexander frowned and ignored him.
Nathan didn't pay much attention to others either and said with a slightly red face, "Katherine, I have something to tell you in private, is that okay?"
Katherine nodded and said, "Please wait for me for a moment!"
Then, she followed Nathan to a more secluded place to talk.
They stood by the window in the corridor, and Nathan even unbuttoned the second button on his coat and handed it to Katherine.
Katherine took it and smiled faintly.
Seeing this, Alexander raised an eyebrow.
Leander, who was observant, noticed Alexander's confusion and quickly explained, "Mr. Melville, in cartoons, it is said that the second button on the clothes is the closest to the heart. The male classmate's intention might be that he is willing to give his heart to Ms. Galatea."
Alexander thought, 'Katherine actually accepted that gesture of love!'
He vaguely remembered Katherine once saying that she liked obedient boys who would call her sister.
Alexander sneered, "Do girls nowadays all like this kind of guy?"
Leander said awkwardly, "Mr. Melville, it seems to be the case."
Alexander lit a cigarette and glanced at the teenagers not far away. They were still in the age of first love, blushing after a few words.
Katherine even reached out and touched Nathan's head, laughing and talking.
She didn't even grow taller than Nathan, yet she pretended to be an older sister patting his head!
Alexander took a deep drag of his cigarette, exhaled heavily, and then extinguished the remaining half, tossing it into the trash can.
Alexander didn't say a word until they got in the car.
Katherine didn't speak to him either. She lowered her head and replied to Frank's message on her phone.
Just as the car was about to leave Janetrick University, Fiona suddenly appeared and stopped them.
Fiona opened the car door and got in, smiling, "You can give me a ride home!"
Alexander stared at her coldly, "Aren't you supposed to be in class?"
Fiona explained, "I don't have any classes this afternoon."
Alexander ignored her and signaled the driver to start the car.
Fiona sat next to Katherine. Her attitude towards Katherine suddenly became very friendly. "I didn't know you were also at Janetrick University. Why didn't I see you before?"
Katherine looked at Fiona's completely changed attitude and smiled, "I'm doing an internship, so I'm not often at school."
Fiona nodded.
