When Bernard received this message, he was accompanying Eleanor to pick up Nina. After staring at the message for a while, he smirked.
"It seems Katharine really likes Caleb. Otherwise, Robin wouldn't have put aside his pride to come find me," he thought.
Though Bernard couldn't influence Caleb's choice, he still gave him a call to advise him to win back Katharine.
"Is she really going to marry into the Sharp family?" Caleb's hand trembled as he held the phone, but he tried hard to control his emotions.
"You should hurry to London. You still have time to stop them from meeting," Bernard suggested.
Caleb, already in London, hesitated for a few seconds before offering his best wishes.
"The Sharp family seems fine, and Katharine marrying their scion would be a suitable match. I won't disturb them," he said, while everyone in the car—Eleanor, Scott, and Aidyn—could hear his response through the hands-free feature. They exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.
"Sir, Mr. Penrod has assigned me another task. I have to go and attend to it," Caleb said quickly, hanging up the phone. He wanted to approach this matter calmly, but his emotions were in turmoil. He realized that giving up on someone could be so difficult, even causing physical pain in his heart.
He couldn't forget how determined Mr. Laurence had been to pursue Eleanor back in the day. Though he couldn't fully understand it then, he now experienced the deep emotions involved.
After putting down his phone, Caleb pushed open the window, gazing at the view of the square outside, but he dared not ask where Katharine and the Sharp family's scion were meeting.
Meanwhile, Katharine followed York to meet the Sharp family's scion, Peterson. He stood at an impressive 6'2", with a stunning figure and handsome looks. Every move he made exuded elegance.
His eyes, especially, were like clear springs, revealing his thoughts without being too revealing. When York complimented him, Peterson merely smiled gracefully and replied, "Thank you for your kind words."
Peterson raised his wine glass, took a sip of red wine, and, in the dim lighting, glanced at Katharine. "Ms. Spencer, would you like to take a walk outside?"
York felt it was appropriate to give them some time alone, so he nudged Katharine and said, "Go ahead. Mr. Sharp will take you home later."
Katharine was reluctant, but she still took her bag and followed Peterson, rising from her seat.
As they stepped out, Peterson adjusted his tie with a slight looseness before opening the car door for Katharine. He showed gentlemanly manners as he helped her fasten her seatbelt before returning to the driver's seat to start the car.
