Katherine stared at him as though she was trying to see if he was kidding, but the look in his eyes said otherwise.

Damien already knew why she said that. Ever since they confessed their feelings to each other, they had been cautious about how they acted around each other in public. As much as he wanted to show the whole world that she was his, he understood the circumstances that they were in.

He believed that even though they needed to keep their relationship private, he had to make her feel that she was the partner he wanted… and one that he was proud of. A man wanting to show off the woman he truly treasures, wasn't that normal?
"Why not?" he asked despite already knowing the answer.
"People will talk, and I don't want to give them the chance to find faults in you."
