Midnight. Catherine was woken up by the noise of the dog barking incessantly.

She got out of bed and turned the lights on. She walked on a dimly Kitchen and found
Fudge was laying under the table, throwing up weakly.

This is really bad, she thought.

"Fudge." Startled, she reached out to get the dog , but Taehyung's indifferent voice rang behind her.

"Get out of the way."

Her hands froze mid-air. He stepped forward to pick the dog up.

His chiseled jawline appeared indifferent and distant under the soft illumination of the lights. Nonetheless, beneath the messy black hair, somewhere deep within his pair of dark brown eyes was sparkling with an enchanting gentleness."

"What happened to her?"

Catherine felt lost and helpless to see the adorable dog suffering. Ohh Fudge

"What do you think?" Shaun glared at her with rage in his eyes. "She's a dog but you've been feeding her trash. Do you seriously think her stomach can handle it?"

She felt utterly remorseful. She had seen stray Dog before that ate almost anything they could find on the streets. This was why she thought dogs had a strong digestive system.

"I'm sorry."

"I won't let you off the hook if something bad happens to Fudge!"

He glared at her long and hard before rising to his feet and grabbing the car keys. He then hurried out of the house with Fudge in his arms.

She quickly followed him to the elevator. "I know a good veterinarian. Let me show you the way," she said anxiously.

"The place is not too far from here" she added

He pursed his lips coldly without acknowledging her.

The elevator stopped at the parking lot and he stepped out of it in big strides.

When they got to the car, she had just opened the door to the passenger seat when a strong arm pulled her away forcefully from the back.

Catherine, who was wearing slippers, staggered backward. Being tipped off her balance, she fell backward and landed on the ground.

He stood in front of the car. She was frightened by the intense despise that exuded from his dark pupils. "Get out of here immediately. I don't wish to see you here by the time I come home. I won't ask politely again."

Without another word, Taehyung carried Fudge into the car. The white Lexus sped off into the distance in no time.

Left alone in the dark parking lot, Catherine's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at the car driving off. The grievances that she had been holding back the entire day finally poured down her face like a broken dam.

Everyone had been giving her the cold shoulder today, keeping her at a distance.

She did not feel as if she belonged to the Jones household anymore.

Fudge was the only one left that was nice to her. She felt happy every time fudge welcomed her every time she comes home from work. And she adored her deeply.

However, she could not even remain at this place any longer.

Her lips twitched into a sarcastic smile. Suddenly, the image of Fudge throwing up earlier popped into her mind and she felt deeply sorry.

Catherine knew Taehyung was not interested in her, yet she persisted in pestering him anyway in order to achieve her own goal. She completely disregarded her own dignity. Was this really worth it?

She even put Fudge through this pain. She blame herself for what happened to fudge and she felt guilty for feeding her to much but how could she know that the dog has a sensitive stomach?

Perhaps it was time for her to leave.
