"Thank you…"
Turning her head to look at Bert, who was preparing to drive, Catherine still said it out loud. Even though he always told her not to thank him, at this moment she felt that only those two words could express what was in her heart.
Bert smiled.
"Just saying it isn't enough. You need to show it with action."
Seeing the mischievous glint in his smile, Catherine immediately thought of certain blush-inducing scenes. Embarrassed, she bit her lip and shot him a glare. Honestly—did he do anything all day besides teasing her about that?
After helping her finally vent the resentment she had carried for two long years, Bert was in an excellent mood. Seeing her flushed, shy expression, he couldn't help teasing her further.
"What are you thinking about?"
He pretended to be completely serious.
"That's not what I meant by 'action.'"
Catherine froze. Had she… misunderstood?
