Chapter 1047:
“Wait,” Johnson called out, his voice low. “I need to talk to you about something.”
Catherine hesitated, her teeth grazing her lower lip.
“It won't take long,” Johnson added.
After a moment's pause, Catherine nodded.
They then went inside Johnson's car.
As soon as the door closed, Johnson broke the silence. “Cathy, you don’t have to go out of your way to avoid me
anymore.”

When Catherine heard this, her brows lifted slightly, and her gaze darted to his face in surprise.
Johnson let out a faint, self-deprecating laugh. “As you wanted... We'll go back to being just siblings.”
Catherine's breath hitched, her pupils dilating as she stared at him, speechless.
Johnson continued, his eyes clouded with a quiet sadness. “I never thought my feelings for you would cause you
so much discomfort. Your constant avoidance maderealize that no matter what, you can’t accept being
together with me. So, to make things easier for you, I've decided to let go. From now on, I'll treat you only as my
foster sister.”
He paused, his brow furrowing slightly. “Of course, it's not realistic to expectto stop liking you overnight. But
I'll try. For now, I'll try meeting other women. Maybe that way, | can move on faster. So, you don’t have to keep
avoiding me. But if you still feel uneasy around me, I'll do my best to stay out of your way.”
After hearing his words, Catherine fell silent.
Her long lashes cast shadows over her eyes, concealing the emotions within. She had thought that hearing
Johnson say he was letting go—that they would return to being just siblings—would bring her relief.

But instead, her chest felt heavier, as if an invisible weight had settled over her heart. Why did she feel this way?
When Catherine heard Johnson say he would try meeting other women, she felt an inexplicable pang of
discomfort. She didn’t understand why she felt this way.
But soon, she brushed off the thought, convincing herself that it was merely a matter of adjusting to the new
reality.
She looked at Johnson again, wearing a smile. “Alright, thank you.”
She hesitated for only a fraction of a second before adding, “I have smatters to attend to, so I'll be heading
off now.”
Without waiting for Johnson's response, she swiftly opened the car door, stepped out, and soon drove away in
her own vehicle.

Watching Catherine agree so easily and leave without hesitation, Johnson felt as if something inside him had
cracked. A sharp, stinging ache settled in his chest.
Did she really feel nothing for him at all?
Doubt gnawed at him. He thought back to Belinda’s plan, and a deep sense of uncertainty crept in. Could he
really win Catherine over?
After a long silence, he finally started his car and drove off, his heart weighed down by frustration and
disappointment.
At the Wright family’s residence,
“Kylee, how could you have done something like this?” Lyle’s voice was thick with disbelief as he stared at Kylee,
struggling to process what he had just heard from Carola.
Mitchell sat beside him, staying silent.
Both had been too preoccupied to visit the Wright family estate recently—Lyle had been tied up with a major
case, while Mitchell had been consumed by a demanding filming schedule. It was only now that they were
learning the full extent of what had happened.
