Tangled By Fate Chapter 401

Chapter 401: SSED UP

The child who caused the entire accident didn’t seem to be affected by the blood of innocent horses.

He humd a piece of music and headed to a narrow alley when no one noticed him. The alley was rather quiet and no one spotted him.

He whistled and waited for soone.

So ti later, a person ca to et.

“I did what you wanted to do. Now give the money,” the boy stated.

“But you couldn’t harm her.” The person was unsatisfied.

The boy shrugged at his employer’s complaint.

.....

“Hey, it’s not my problem. She almost died but the guy in the black cloth ca to rescue her. How would I know she had a bodyguard? You said she was a commoner. Why would a commoner wear a fancy dress and have a bodyguard?”

“I’m also not sure why she has a bodyguard.” The person clenched his fist.

The person threw a pouch at the boy. The boy delightfully jerked the pouch. He heard clang noises of coins clashing. Without another word, the boy went away, humming the sa music.

The person didn’t bother to look at the boy. Her blue eyes were fixed on Catherine, Vincent, Veronica and Arthur.

‘I won’t forgive you. Because of your false statent, my child couldn’t live in the tower. Do you think you can co in between and Arthur? I will show how it feels to take away soone you love.’

No one noticed that a pair of bloodthirsty eyes glared at them from a distance.

——-

“We should have caught the child and then interrogated him,” Arthur stated.

He was in the sa carriage with Veronica and Catherine. They were heading back to the tower.

“This is just a child. Although accidents like that don’t happen often, we should let him go,” Veronica shared her opinion.

‘But I sensed soone’s murderous gaze,’ Arthur thought. ‘Who was it? That bloody queen’s n? I’ll tear them apart when I find them.’

“I think I’ve ssed up,” Catherine mumbled.

Veronica asked, “Huh? What do you an? What happened?”

“I ssed up a big-ti,” Catherine repeated the sa sentence. She clenched her hair and pulled them.

“Cathy, what are you doing? You will beco bald like Darius if you keep pulling your hair.” Veronica prevented her from pulling hair. “What’s wrong? Share with ?”

“...I can’t...” Catherine shook her head.

Veronica looked at her husband.

Arthur understood her gaze. “Do you want so privacy? Fine then. I’ll be close by.” He disappeared from the carriage. He teleported outside.

Veronica said, “He is gone now. Tell what’s wrong.”

“When I was in danger... I was thinking about Sebastian.” Catherine looked at Veronica and desperately said, “Can you believe it? I didn’t think of Vincent but Sebastian!”

Veronica halted, not sure what to say. “Why... why do you think about him but not your fiance?”

“I don’t know.” Catherine shook her head and sobbed. “I love Vincent. I really do. But I’m not sure when I’m in danger, I keep thinking about Sebastian.”

Now that she had a clear mind, she thought about how Sebastian hugged her close to his chest.

His heart was beating fast. He had a worried look on his face.

“Isn’t it because whenever you are in danger, it’s always Sebastian who cos to rescue you?” Veronica calmly stated.

Catherine’s heart skipped a beat. Her eyes widened as she realized it.

“You... you don’t an...” she didn’t want to think about the impossible.

“You love him, Cathy,” Veronica disclosed what her best friend was fearing the most.

“Don’t say it!” Catherine exclaid.

“I hate to say this, Cathy. You love both of them.”

“How is this possible? I’m getting engaged to Vincent. I dated him. I had nothing for Sebastian. How can I fall for...?” Tears stread down Catherine’s face. “Am I a slut now?”

“I know it’s hard to explain. You just fell for him without realizing it. It must be confusing but that’s the truth.”

Veronica placed a hand on her shoulder, feeling bad for her friend who was about to knot her tie with soone.

“What should I do, Ver? Will I be happy if I marry Vincent knowing I like Sebastian?” Catherine sought advice.

‘I really wanted her to co up with the solution herself,’ Veronica thought.

However, she had no other option. Her friend wanted to know her opinion and she could only help her with words.

“I wish I could tell you to choose both of them. But it might make you more upset. I know you want a peaceful life. If living with Vincent makes you think about Sebastian all the ti, Vincent may not be a perfect choice for you.”

“Ver!” Catherine exclaid. Her hands grabbed Veronica’s arm.

“Cathy, I can only advise you to choose a man that won’t make you regret. You will never be happy if you marry soone but think about another man day and night,” Veronica told her.

Catherine clenched her skirt. “I love Vincent. I can overco anything after marriage.”

Veronica stated, “Cathy, love isn’t enough for married life. If you want to get married, you need to understand each other, support each other, accept each other’s shortcomings and faults, and need to sacrifice and compromise. You have to face the problems together too.”

Catherine cupped her head. Her head was unable to think further.

“...I don’t know what to do anymore. I t Vincent’s family. We fixed our date, checked out the venue and ordered dresses. I cannot back down now. It’s impossible.”

Veronica hugged her. “Cathy, it’s better to cancel the wedding than get married and suffer in the long run. Your happiness and satisfaction co first; not what others think about you.”

Catherine couldn’t take her advice into consideration.

“But how can I turn him down? We were both so happy when I said ‘yes’. He supported and went against his parents’ wishes for my sake when I told him I have to work. He did everything he could and he accepted for who I am.”

Veronica could understand her complicated feelings. She asked her, “Then what do you plan to do about your feelings for Sebastian?”
