“No trouble at all, Mr. Gildon. It’s proper to visit an elder.”

He admired the evident care Katelyn showed for Seymour, even considering bringing him home to live. Because of this, he showed much respect towards Seymour.

Seymour, observing Katelyn and Vincent, posed a light-hearted question with a smile.

“So, when are you two planning to get married?”

His question caught them both off guard.

Katelyn gently pulled on Seymour’s hand and said, “It’s not like what you think.”

Vincent was already engaged, and her relationship with Vincent was strictly professional. As business partners, or perhaps as boss and subordinate, marriage was definitely not on the table. Vincent stopped, holding the coffee cup in his hand, yet he remained silent.

Seymour, having been focused on his health since his release, was not fully up to date with their personal details. He only caught glimpses of surface-level information like trending topics. He had mistakenly thought Vincent and Katelyn were a couple. Realizing his mistake, Seymour chuckled.

“Ah, it seems I was mistaken.”

Still smiling, he turned to Katelyn.

“But you’re not getting any younger. It’s high time you found someone to settle down with.”

“She will, Mr. Gildon. There is no worry about it,” Vincent said.

Katelyn paused, caught off guard for a brief moment. Her eyes drifted toward Vincent as if seeking clarity. What could he possibly mean by those words?

Even Seymour showed a flicker of surprise.

g?lnσν?s﹒, the heart of fiction

Vincent, on the other hand, remained perfectly composed. His calm expression didn’t waver as he said, “Miss Bailey is remarkably talented and undeniably charming. Without a doubt, she will find someone who values her genuinely.”

Katelyn’s fingers, hanging at her side, curled tightly without her realizing it. She steadied herself before offering Seymour a gentle smile.

“Seymour, there’s no need for you to be so concerned.”

Seymour returned her smile without a word, though a quiet sigh lingered in his thoughts. From his perspective, Katelyn’s romantic affairs appeared to be anything but simple!

Out of nowhere, a phone started ringing, drawing everyone’s attention to Vincent.

“Pardon me. I need to answer this.”

Katelyn gave a small nod, her eyes following Vincent as he walked away. The unease in her chest seemed to deepen with every step he took.

As the door clicked shut, Seymour let out a quiet chuckle.

“Admit it. You have feelings for him, don’t you?”

Katelyn snapped out of her thoughts and quickly shook her head.
