Seeing that it was almost time to go, she picked up her purse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you need anything, call the nurse.\u201d She told him yet again.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph hummed in response without looking up.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing his indifferent attitude made her somewhat disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>However, Kathy wasn\u2019t able to leave at all.<\/p>\n<p>The doorknob was not budging at all.<\/p>\n<p>She frowned and turned around.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph pressed the call bell, but even after waiting for a while, no one came.<\/p>\n<p>Even the cellphones had no signals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs anyone out there? Open the door!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There were bodyguards stationed outside, but there was no response this time.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s face turned pale. She turned to look at Joseph in panic, \u201cHurry, ask someone to come over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince we are trapped, just stay here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou didn\u2019t plan this, right?\u201d Kathy glared at him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow despicable do you think I am?\u201d Joseph\u2019s tone turned a little cold.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy pursed her lips. Of course, she didn\u2019t think that.<\/p>\n<p>She was just too angry and anxious and the words slipped out.<\/p>\n<p>She turned back at him, \u201cAren\u2019t you worried? We are trapped.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI already have to stay here in the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, this incident had no effect on Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to go back to school.\u201d Kathy said solemnly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust skip research and development tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have other things too.\u201d Kathy said avoiding his gaze.<\/p>\n<p>The thought of staying in this room with Joseph over-night\u2026 was just\u2026 too much.<\/p>\n<p>No, Absolutely no!<\/p>\n<p>As he looked Kathy looking at him with defiance, his deep eyes darkened with gloom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, can you get the door opened or not?\u201d Kathy looked at him expectantly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is obviously a set-up, can\u2019t you see?\u201d Joseph frowned.<\/p>\n<p>His bodyguards were no longer there, the cellphone signals were lost, and even the call bell didn\u2019t solicit a response.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, someone did this on purpose.<\/p>\n<p>But Joseph, with the personality he had, how could he let himself be manipulated like this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know! So, think of a way out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey! Come over here. Someone will come and get us out when it\u2019s time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy had no words.<\/p>\n<p>This was not the answer she wanted to hear!<\/p>\n<p>Giving him an angry look, she continued to knock on the door. But there was no response from outside.<\/p>\n<p>The balconies were all sealed already, so she had no other way of getting out.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph on the other hand, continued to read his documents calmly.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Kathy pacing the room, clearly irritated, a smile flashed across Joseph\u2019s face, \u201cCome here beside me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to leave, Joseph!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can leave tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy tomorrow?\u201d Kathy looked at him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan\u2019t leave tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy just couldn\u2019t believe him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2026 deliberately\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I want to keep you by my side, I don\u2019t need to be so mean. I know you can\u2019t resist me, Kathy!\u201d Joseph suddenly hooked his hand into her arm and pulled her into his embrace.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy fell on him, her heart beating wildly as she stared at him without blinking.<\/p>\n<p>His handsome face so close to her was mesmerizing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJulian\u2019s people are outside right now. the door will not be opened until tomorrow morning.\u201d Joseph said seriously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat does he want to do?\u201d Kathy was frightened.<\/p>\n<p>What was it that Joseph already knew, but didn\u2019t handle in advance?<\/p>\n<p>Or did he want to use it to his advantage?<\/p>\n<p>This feeling had taken root in her heart a long time ago.<\/p>\n<p>She raised her eyes to look at him. Even in the dark she could clearly see his handsome profile.<\/p>\n<p>She closed her eyes, but she couldn\u2019t block out the feeling of being surrounded by his aura. His noble and powerful aura, that made her feel distanced.<\/p>\n<p>But right now, he was besides her.<\/p>\n<p>Tossing and turning, she couldn\u2019t fall asleep for a long time. Suddenly, a deep voice whispered into her ear.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t move!\u201d His breathe was hot.<\/p>\n<p>Listening to him, his warm breath tickling her ear, his heartbeat went wild.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are still awake?\u201d She asked on a low voice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are moving around so much, how can I sleep?\u201d If only Kathy turned around right then, she could have seen how dangerous his eyes were.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen don\u2019t hold me.\u201d Kathy moved away a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>Moving away from him, she didn\u2019t notice that she was already on the edge of the bed. Seeing that she was about to fall off the bed Joseph hugged her tightly, bringing her close to him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKathy!\u201d His tone was a little angry.<\/p>\n<p>Sensing his intense emotions Kathy didn\u2019t dare to move again.<\/p>\n<p>At this time\u2026 she really couldn\u2019t afford to provoke him.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy closed her eyes, forcing herself to fall asleep\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Her body gradually relaxed, she leaned back in Joseph\u2019s arms. Joseph\u2019s breathing also became heavier\u2026<\/p>\n<p>When Kathy woke up the next day, it was already a little late.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as she opened her eyes, she immediately checked the time.<\/p>\n<p>It was nine o\u2019clock!<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was already awake, lying on the bed with his long arms hugging her lovingly.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked down and was relieved to see that her clothes were still on her body.<\/p>\n<p>When she turned her head, she was met with Joseph\u2019s penetrating gaze.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2026 you are up already?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, did you sleep well last night?\u201d He asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHmm.\u201d Kathy hummed in response, frowning. Last night, she did end up sleeping fine.<\/p>\n<p>Although she couldn\u2019t sleep at first, gradually she became relaxed.<\/p>\n<p>It seemed like she had the baest night\u2019s sleep since she divorced Joseph.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1029","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1029","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1029"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
