Dear Mr Montgomery✔️

CHAPTER FORTY: THE DESERVING COUPLE.

Katherine's pov.

I wish I could be anywhere else but here. I had long ago retreated to a safe conner creepily watching people have a fake great time while I silently sipped on my juice playing candy crush. I was in my 1000th level and the iced candy were a real pickle but I'll rather deal with this iced candy than the fake people who were desperately vying for my attention.
The pains of being married to Caspian Montgomery.

"I knew you'll be here." A smile immediately crossed my lips as Carolina headed towards me. I settled for a big smile instead of jumping and hugging her. Carolina made these events I was forced to attend by my mother more bearable. Dad helps too but he has long been whisked away by my mom.

Carolina took a sit on the chair next to mine and collected my glass of juice without any warning and drowning it down.

"Hey!" I scolded but she ignored me. "You're late." I pointed out.

"I know, it was deliberate." This event was hosted by the Rodriquez, namely Carolina's lovely and happy family. I'm not a fan of them. They were the same as my mom, fake and controlling. Trying so much to please the society and move above their status but at least I stilled had dad who was different from the rest but Carolina had no one. She hated this events more than I do and I understood that.

"Where's your smother husband?" She looked around me expecting to we someone.

"Smother husband?" I raised a brow.

"Well, it's true. I heard about the Party at the Montgomerys."

"He's not a smother husband." I know I'm lying.

"Ok." She said sarcastically.

"Hey ladies." A charming voice cheerfully said out of thin air, startling me. "Here you go babe." He stretched out a filled champagne flute to Carolina.

"Lincoln?" I couldn't conceal the surprise on my face and I didn't try to because this was surprising. I looked at Carolina who sent a glare to Lincoln.

"Don't call me that." She fired at him but it doesn't look like Lincoln was listening

"Katherine." He greeted, nodding at me with the charming smile remaining on his face.

"W-What are you doing here? I don't think I've ever seen you in event like these"

"That's because I don't come to events like these. Today's special." He turned his face towards Carolina.

What in the world is happening ?

"I'm her date." He clarified my silent confusion.

What's happening?

I looked at Carolina who was trying so much to avoid my eyes.
"It's not a real date. I just brought him along so that I wouldn't have to deal with my irritating mother, trying to set me up with every eligible snobs out there. He seemed like a perfect choice." She explained but I still couldn't wrap my head around it. Carolina could never get along with people like Lincoln. Lincoln is the type of person she'll never get along with and the last time they saw each other in my kitchen, they didn't look like best of friends.

I looked at Lincoln and he still had that smile on his face that I'm sure was supposed to annoy the hell out of her. I gave her a look that screams.

Really?! Give me another explanation.

And she returned it with a look that said.

I don't feel like talking about it now. Drop it, I'll explain when I have the guts to.

I understood perfectly and turned my head back to the clueless Lincoln who still had that panties dropping smile on his face.

"I am always the perfect choice babe." Lincoln answered.
