Kate froze when she heard this.
A split second later, she lifted her head, staring right into Steven's searching gaze, and bit her lip nervously. "What are you trying to say, Steven? Do you not trust me?”
Steven chuckled when he saw how Kate tried to deflect responsibility. "You're the one who didn't trust me in the first place."
Steven never thought that his fiancee would secretly track his every move.
If she had not, how could she have discovered the address of his private residence, much less know that he had brought a woman home from the airport?
Steven did not remember much about his first impression of Kate. Although he had known since he was young that the Hughes and Miller families were close and had a marriage agreement, he never cared much about these customs.
However, when he awoke after five years of being in a coma, everyone told him that he and Kate had gotten engaged prior to his accident. Not only that, but his parents also emphasized how much Kate had sacrificed for him during the past five years.
Therefore, Steven had always been inclined to think that Kate was a kind and loving woman who was utterly devoted to him.
The few times he came across Gwen and developed feelings for her, he would thereafter be overcome by his guilt and feel that he was betraying Kate, but at this moment...
Staring at the woman before him, Steven suddenly realized just how foreign she seemed.
He could not believe that Kate, the fiancee that loved him above all else, was secretly following him all along!
"It's not that I don't trust you, Steven!" Kate wrapped her arms tightly around his body. "I was worried that something bad would happen to you because..."
She bit her lip and said, "I love you, I really do, and I don't ever want to lose you again, so I..."
"Is that so?" Steven gently pried her hands away and plopped down in the nearest seat. "You're doing this because you love me?"
