Chapter 50 - Gaining Her Trust
Chapter 50 - Gaining Her Trust
" No. But tell me, Is Aunt Maria the reason for your break up?" Thomas asked her again.
Katherine looked at Thomas with her eyes wide open. She felt the guilt swirl in her heart. She knew Thomas's question was referring to her bracelet, the one that bore the initials of the love of her life.
She bit her lower lip and looked at the floor.
"No, Thomas," she answered quietly.
Thomas looked at her for a long time, he didn't know if she was lying or telling the truth, and said, "Katherine, I am your friend. So, if you tell me the truth, you will have my support in anything."
Katherine nodded, "I am not deceiving him. But, this is something I have to do, I don't want you to tell Adrian about it"
" Mrs. Wilson has nothing to do with us. She doesn't know who I am, " she replied.
Thomas looked at her with confusion.
Then Katherine continued, " She loves Adrian so much. She never does such things which hurts Adrian."
Thomas nodded and said, "I understand, and I won't tell Adrian about it either. I hope you know that I'll always be your friend"
" Did you tell Adrian about my visit?" She asked Thomas.
" No. I didn't say anything to him because I came to know about your engagement" he said with guilt.
Katherine smiled softly, "Thank you. You did it right."
" And I want you to hide it from Adrian forever. If he came to know about my visit, he would enquire about everything then it would be a problem for everyone. Please..." She pleaded.
Thomas stared skeptically and understood that Katherine was under extreme problem. He wanted to know about it slowly. He knew if he rushed the matter then he could lose the opportunity to know about it. So he agreed with her and said: "You can always trust me".
Just in time, Martin came back to Thomas's cabin. He examined their faces and understood that they were talking about something serious.
" Shall we go to our home?" Martin asked her.
" Kathie...call me anytime. I will be there for you as a friend " He said heartfully.
She smiled and nodded her head, " I know…"
When they were going out, Thomas stopped them and he asked " Can I drop you at your home as it almost breaks time? " looking at Martin.
" If you are Kathie's friend then you are my friend too…" Martin said with a bright smile.
Thomas smiled at him and felt comfortable with Martin since he knew about his friendship with Katherine.
Thomas drove them to their home. Martin invited Thomas to come inside as he came to their home for the first time. Thomas was amazed to see the very simple house. He wondered how Katherine adjusted in such a house.
Katherine asked him to join lunch with them. All the time, he observed how she was working as a middle-class woman.
He remembered how he met her accidentally in a charity event with her father. She looked like a princess from heaven in her attire with bodyguards.
" Kathie...it's hard for me to believe that you are living a very simple life," Thomas exclaimed.
" I am happy and content. Please don't ask me anything…" she requested.
" I can't stay quiet anymore. I will inform you about what Adrian Thomas said sincerely.
" Do you know Adrian? How? " Martin asked Thomas with surprise.
" Yes. I am Adrian's best friend. I knew Katherine as his girlfriend. He used to be over-possessive about her. But …" Thomas stopped in the middle when Katherine interrupted him.
" But now he is married recently" Katherine lied to Martin and signaled with her eyes to Thomas to stop talking.
