The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 816

Kat rolled her eyes, watching as Frank lay down in bed with a speechless look.

Dropping to a crouch, she yelled straight into his ear, "Hey! Are you listening?!"

"I am," Frank replied noncommittally, picking his ear as he turned his back on her exasperatedly."I'm satisfied, so keep going, do your best... and can you leave now? This is my room."

"And this is my house! You said you'd teach me martial arts if I could hone my vigor!"

"You're still far from the necessary standard.” Frank waved her off like one would an annoyinghousefly.

"Hey, what's your problem? Why does it feel like you want nothing to do with me?" Kat stoodakimbo, annoyance showing all over her face.

"Does it?" Frank growled grumpily. "Then how about you stop paraphrasing your words in a waythat would make people misunderstand? I don't care about fame, but I still have a reputation toprotect.”

"What?" Kat snapped blankly, but she started to think about what she was saying at the door.

Her expression stiffened when she did, but she snorted. "Are you men always so prudish?"

"Not really.” Frank waved her off again. "Though I'd suggest you eavesdrop on your neighbors’latest gossip too."

"Huh...?" Kat scratched her head. "You're not losing anything anyway. Why worry so much?”

"Oh, but I'm really worried.” Frank turned and leveled a stern look at Kat. "What would your fatherthink if he heard about that"

"Ah..." Kat nodded thoughtfully.

Frank shrugged. "Get it now? Now go back to your room and stop hanging out here.”

"Nope." Kat giggled, feeling like she had caught leverage right then. "Teach me martial arts, or I'mtelling my dad you forced yourself on me last night."

"Hey!" Frank sat up right then, staring daggers at her. "Don't you know that's slander?!"

"Don't care. Do what you will." Kat rolled her eyes again.

"Do you know no shame, girl?!"

Frank sighed in exasperation—this was a delicate time for him. Moreover, if Nash suspected thatFrank harbored sinister intentions for his daughter, he would get suspicious even if the rumors werebaseless. Things would only get worse if Vicky found out about said rumors too.

He was certainly frustrated, but Kat was Nash's daughter, and that meant she was untouchable."Oh, just teach me already!" Kat pouted, tugging on his arm. "See? I'm a born prodigy like you said,honing my vigor in just two days! Once I'm stronger, I can protect you and Dad..."

Frank yielded when Kat said that she would protect Nash.
