Chapter 230 The seemingly aloof Queenie
After everything was done in Texas, John took Kate back to New York.It took Kate long to calm her nerves.
She had never thought that her younger brother, John, was a hero that she had worshiped for a long time, the King of
Horizon!
She couldn't help but think of the lines of a heroine in a TV series named “A journey to the West", in which she said, “My Mr.Right is an unparalleled hero. One day he will come to me with flowers in his hands.”
Kate thought she was the happiest person on earth!
However, the heroine had a bad end while she was full of happiness now to the extent that she even forgot the pain on her shoulder!
“Little John...”
On the way back, Kate kept repeating John’s name. She was even more excited than Alice was when she knew that John was her idol, Master of Clouds.
With a gentle smile, John said, “Kate, do you remember what I told you? I said I would one day give you an opportunity to interview the King of Horizon. Now you know that I didn't lie to you, right?”
“Yeah!”
Kate nodded with gratitude.
But at this moment, she was not so eager to interview the King of Horizon as she used to be.She preferred to keep the secret alone rather than expose John’s identity so early. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
This change of her mood was reasonable.
Previous to this, King of Horizon was like an unreachable God to her. If she could find an opportunity to interview him, all the regrets in her life would disappear.
But now everything was different.
Or take a toy, there was a toy that everyone longed to obtain, but it was out of ordinary people’s reach, and Kate was one of them. She liked the toy most of all.
But now she suddenly found that the toy was at her disposal and she could do whatever she wanted on it.
At this time, her mentality changed slightly. She didn’t want to share this toy with others. She just wanted to keep it her own.
“It is human nature.” She thought.
John didn’t know that Kate was comparing him to a toy. “Kate, I can promise you that you shall be the first person to interview the King of Horizon and the only one, but not now.” He smiled at her.
He had made up his mind that he would take off his dragon—shaped mask when Kate formally interviewed him so as to let everyone know his true identity.
He was now waiting for a good time to do it.
He hadn't had enough comfortable days with his seven pretty sisters. If he exposed his secret now, countless admirers would come to visit him, thus leaving him no time to spend with sisters.
John was confident with his influence and charm.
When they returned home, Kate didn’t tell other sisters about her wound as she didn’t want them to worry about her. But
Queenie noticed it.
She watched John go out with a solemn face.
John said that he was going to treat a patient, but now he came back with Kate. It was obviously that he didn’t tell the truth.
“What is going on between you two? Tell me!” Queenie went in Kate’s room and asked.
Kate had on choice but to tell Queenie the story.
After hearing this, Queenie’s face dimmed at once, “How dare you risk your life to go to Texas? If it weren’t for John, you would...
Alright, you are not allowed to do such dangerous things again. Tomorrow I will go to you company to quite your job!”
“But...”
“Hold it there! The Queenie Group is short of hands. You stay at home and help me manage the business. There is no travelling around anymore!”
Queenie showed unprecedented seriousness.
Kate lowered her head.
“Kate, I’m on Queenie’s side this time. I’ve been back to New York for so long, but you spent so little time with me those days. You hurt my heart.”
Kate was almost killed by mercenaries. John didn’t want it to happen again.
It would be the best if she should agree to stay at home.
Seeing the sincere face of Queenie and John, Kate wavered. John looked into her eyes pitifully like a newly weaned child looking for his mother. Who would have thought that he was the King of Horizon?
Kate couldn't help but burst into laughter, “Well, don’t be sad, my little John. I'll stay at home from now on and serve as your nanny. Is that okay?”
“I'm glad we see eye to eye.” John beamed, nodding his head.
Hearing their conversation, Queenie was speechless. “Kate, it takes a long time for you wound to heal. You wanna be his nanny? You have no milk to feed him but salty water.”
Hearing this, Kate and John goggled at her in horror.
What did Queenie say?
John couldn't’ believe his ears.So did Kate.She thought she was the obscenest of all sisters and Queenie the most prudish, but what Queenie just said wasn’t consistent with her usual deeds and words!
Kate looked at Queenie with undisguised admiration.
Queenie was really something!
