Chapter 943

Chapter 943:
They were not related by blood, but they had grown up as siblings for many years.
This new reality was hard for Catherine to accept.
Back in his room, Johnson took out his phone, opened a messaging app, and initiated a voice call in a group chat with Belinda and Bethany.
Belinda and Bethany soon answered.
“I just confessed my feelings to Cathy… And I kissed her,” Johnson stated bluntly.
“That was so sudden!” Belinda responded in shock.
She hadn’t anticipated that at all.
Not only had he declared his feelings for Catherine, but he had also kissed her…
Bethany took a moment to recover from her astonishment. After a pause, she asked, “How did Catherine react?”
“She was shocked and couldn’t accept it,” Johnson replied, his voice laden with disappointment.
“She told me she has always seen me as a brother, nothing more…”
Belinda and Bethany fell silent.
“I might have acted on impulse tonight, but I have no regrets,” Johnson said.
Belinda suggested, “Let’s try this—tomorrow’s Saturday, I’m free, and Catherine doesn’t have classes. I’ll ask her to join me for lunch, and I can talk with her about the matter. Bethany, join us if you’re available.”

“Okay, I’ll join you,” Bethany agreed.
Johnson remained quiet, his spirits low.
After comforting Johnson for a while, Bethany and Belinda ended the call.
The next day.
Inside a private room at a restaurant.
Belinda and Bethany were shocked when they saw Catherine’s face. Catherine’s eyes were red and swollen, and underneath them were dark circles—it was obvious she had been crying.
Belinda and Bethany exchanged worried looks.
Clearly, the matter had deeply affected Catherine.
Breaking the silence, Catherine said, “Belinda, Bethany… You both knew about Johnson’s feelings for me a long time ago, didn’t you?”
“Yeah…”
Belinda and Bethany nodded simultaneously and responded in unison. Catherine’s breath grew heavy. She closed her eyes, struggling for words.
Belinda spoke gently.
“Catherine, I understand how you must be feeling now. You’ve always seen Johnson as an older brother because you two have grown up together. It’s difficult for you to accept that he has feelings for you. But love is often irrational and unpredictable. Johnson is aware that you were brought up as siblings, and he knows he shouldn’t have fallen for you. But his feelings for you aren’t something he can control.”
