Chapter 636 Don't Bully Katherine!
Frank shook his head and said, "Nothing. If you have no idea, just follow my lead. We'll chow down first, then figure out what to bring for Katherine."
Teresa shrugged and nodded halfheartedly.. "Sure, whatever."
Frank eyed her. "Bummed you can't have lunch with Anthony?"
Teresa rolled her eyes. "If so, then I will cancel the meeting and let Anthony join me for lunch?"
Frank grinned. "Nope."
Teresa shot him a glare. "Then why even ask?"
Frank whispered, "I'm just giving myself a shot."
Teresa had finally decided to give up on Frank, and now he was stirring things up again.
"I'll call Katherine and see what she wants to eat." Feeling awkward and not knowing what else to do, Teresa pulled out her phone to call Katherine, but no one picked up. "Why isn't Katherine answering?"
Frank shrugged. "Maybe she didn't hear it."
Teresa put her phone away and sighed quietly.
Even though it was lunchtime, it was still early. She had to cope with Frank by herself for a couple of hours, which was incredibly irritating to think about.
Meanwhile, when Katherine pushed Jonathan away, she accidentally knocked over the oatmeal, spilling half a bowl on both of them.
Jonathan looked down at his clothes. "Oh man, what a waste!"
Katherine's clothes were also stained with oatmeal. She glared at him. "This is your fault for messing around!"
Jonathan shrugged with a grin. "So what now? I got a meeting at the office soon. No time to go home and change."
Katherine looked at him with disdain. "Hold on, I'll find you a set of Frank's clothes to change into."
Jonathan nodded. "Cool."
Frank and Jonathan were about the same size, so the clothes should fit. Katherine found a casual outfit from the closet and handed it to Jonathan.
Jonathan said the oatmeal had soaked through his clothes and was sticky, so he wanted to use Frank's bathroom to take a shower.
Katherine agreed. Then she went to her room to change clothes too. The oatmeal had indeed soaked through her clothes, and she felt super uncomfortable, so she took a quick shower as well.
While she was looking for clothes after the shower, she heard the doorbell ring again. She wondered who could be visiting at this time.
The problem was that she hadn't lived in this house for half a year, and all the clothes in the closet were from before she got pregnant. Now that her belly was bigger, none of those clothes fit.
The doorbell kept ringing, and Katherine hurried to answer it, throwing on a loose robe. As she walked out of the room, she saw Jonathan had already opened the door.
When the door opened, no one came in, and no one spoke. Jonathan seemed stunned, standing at the door looking at the visitor.
Katherine walked over to see who it was, and her heart skipped a beat.
Alex stood at the door, looking at them with some displeasure. "Looks like I came at a bad time."
Feeling awkward under Alex's intense stare, Katherine remembered she had just showered, her hair still wet, and she was only wearing a loose robe. She instinctively adjusted her clothes to cover herself more.
To make things worse, Jonathan had also just showered and wasn't fully dressed. He had rushed to open the door, so he was only wearing pants. His shirt was draped over his shoulders, unbuttoned, showing off his chest and abs.
They looked like they had just finished hooking up. Realizing this, Katherine panicked and wanted to explain, but then thought she didn't need to explain anything to Alex. They were done.
Jonathan adjusted his clothes, buttoning his shirt as he smiled and broke the awkward silence. "Alex, what a surprise! Are you here to see Katherine, too?"
Alex's expression was cold and unreadable. "After all these years, you still have no shame."
Katherine was a bit angry.
Jonathan didn't get mad, just smiled and gently said to Katherine, "Katherine, I'll talk to Alex. You go get dressed."
Katherine didn't want to face Alex like this, so she nodded and went back to her room to change. But she didn't expect that as soon as she entered the room and was about to close the door, Alex blocked it with his hand, stopping her from closing it.
Katherine was startled and frowned. "This is my bedroom! Get your hand away!"
Alex forcibly pushed the door open and walked in, slamming it shut behind him and locking it.
Outside, Jonathan knocked anxiously. "Alex! What are you doing? Don't mess with Katherine!"
Alex stood firmly in front of her, giving her no chance to escape.
Katherine tensed up and took a step back. "Alex, what are you doing? Don't you know it's rude to barge into someone's room without permission?"
Alex sneered.
Katherine felt an intense sense of danger and instinctively continued to back away.
Alex reached out and grabbed her. "You've been avoiding me for over half a year. Are you living with another man now?"
Katherine's eyes flickered, but she didn't speak. She bit her lip stubbornly, refusing to argue. She thought, 'Why should I explain to him? What right does he have to question me?'
Katherine pushed him hard. "Mr. Melville, what do you want? Just spit it out!"
No matter how hard she pushed, she couldn't move the tall and strong Alex. But he didn't seem to want to go further; he let her go. "I came to see my child. Is that not allowed?"
Katherine instinctively covered her belly and emphasized, "If you want a child, find someone else. The child in my womb has nothing to do with you!"
