章節 425: Working together (4)

  "Kate! Darling," Katrina called and ran after Kate who marched out of the hall and didn't notice her. 

Katrina was ecstatic by Kate's news and after she received numerous congratulations for her daughter's engagement to Simon, Katrina was impatient to wait for the young woman to be finished with the Queen. Katrina waited by the opening of the hallway for when Kate would be done but she didn't expect Kate to be so angry when it was a joyous occasion. 

"Mother, I am so sick and tired of hearing about Alessandra. Grace tries to take every opportunity to ridicule me. Like she has a place to speak when no man is desiring-"

"Kate, I told you to forget about Alessandra. You are engaged to Simon and yet your mind is plagued with that awful girl. This is a big night for you, Kate. I don't want to hear Alessandra's name from your mouth again. Come, there are people that I want you to meet," Katrina said, reaching out to touch Kate but Kate moved her shoulder.
