Intention

Katherine did not say anything, she gestured him to take a seat beside her. " You look tired." She gently caressed his cheeks. "Do you want to take a nap?" 

Without saying anything, Joshua rested his head on her lap. 

She gently ran her fingers through his hair. "How are things going with the Volkovs? Did anything new happen?" 

Joshua contemplated for a while before saying, "Everything's the same, nothing new." 

"I heard that you are related to Andrew Volkov now," she chuckled. "How funny is that?" 

"Yeah it's funny," he smiled. Though he was trying to be as normal as he could, he could still feel a resistance in his behaviour. 

They still had to find out if Katherine was involved in everything that was happening, nothing was confirmed yet.

Why was he feeling this resistance then? Why was he feeling that Katherine is indeed involved in everything that was happening?
