Although I feel sorry for my brother, I want you to be happy.&#8221; Zofia said sincerely.<\/p>\n<p>When she first met Kathy, she didn&#8217;t have a good impression of her. But after getting to know her, she found Kathy to be friendly and gentle. Zofia was quite fond of her as a friend.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was silent, but what she did not understand was Joseph&#8217;s heart.<\/p>\n<p>In the evening, Kathy came to Joseph&#8217;s office on time.<\/p>\n<p>He was usually at Ocean University on Fridays and did not leave.<\/p>\n<p>At the door, John was waiting apprehensively outside.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked at him in confusion.<\/p>\n<p>John was greatly relieved to see Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Miss Kathy, you&#8217;re here at last. I made a reservation for Mr. Joseph. You can take it in with you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Okay.&#8221; Kathy took it.<\/p>\n<p>Pushing through the door, she saw that Joseph was sitting behind his desk with a number of papers in front of him, all about the Joseph&#8217;s Group.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;John asked me to bring it to you.&#8221; Kathy put the lunch box in front of him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, sit down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joseph frowned when he saw Kathy was a little nervous.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of sitting down in the empty seat next to him, Kathy sat on the other side of the desk. Since Joseph was going to eat, she read first herself.<\/p>\n<p>Only, Joseph came over without eating.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll finish your class early so you can go back to bed early.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You eat first. I&#8217;m in no hurry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not hungry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can&#8217;t be. You have to eat on time!&#8221; Kathy was furious. It was past dinner time.<\/p>\n<p>He did it all the time. Whenever he got busy, he didn&#8217;t even eat.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph&#8217;s tense face finally changed and he smiled as he watched Kathy&#8217;s annoyed face.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What did you eat tonight?&#8221; He asked her as if he were a familiar friend.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy said it one dish at a time. As she watched Joseph eat gracefully in front of her, she found the sight of him really pleasing to the eye.<\/p>\n<p>As she watched, she became distracted.<\/p>\n<p>Sensing Kathy&#8217;s distraction, Joseph moved closer. Suddenly\uff0c he cupped her chin with his fingertips.<\/p>\n<p>When Kathy realized it, she immediately raised her hand against him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are you hungry?&#8221; He asked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No no. I&#8217;m full.&#8221; Kathy lowered her head.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah,&#8221; Joseph responded, putting his lunchbox aside and starting to tutor Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was a good learner. Even though she hadn&#8217;t attended several classes, she understood a lot of what Joseph was saying as soon as he said it.<\/p>\n<p>As time passed and Kathy worked on her exercises, Joseph went about his business.<\/p>\n<p>When she finished, Kathy looked up and saw Joseph on the phone.<\/p>\n<p>She was standing a little away from him. When he hung up, she walked over to him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Was it hard?&#8221; He asked.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy pursed her lips and nodded earnestly.<\/p>\n<p>It was really hard.<\/p>\n<p>She already reckoned she would be wrong about a lot of it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This isn&#8217;t knowledge you have to know to take neurology. You don&#8217;t usually get exposed to it,&#8221; Joseph explained.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I&#8217;m still terrible at it.&#8221; Kathy was troubled.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are you so unsure of yourself?&#8221; Joseph looked at her.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy bit her lip and didn&#8217;t say anything.<\/p>\n<p>There was a pause before she brought her homework over, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to go do it again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joseph didn&#8217;t let her do it alone. He sat down on her side and explained it to her again.<\/p>\n<p>Familiar scents were close at hand. It was hard for Kathy to concentrate.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, however, Joseph&#8217;s lecture was not boring. She listened attentively and finally understood, and her homework went much more smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>It was already midnight.<\/p>\n<p>And yet she liked him so much.<\/p>\n<p>As the rain began to subside. Kathy blushed and couldn&#8217;t look at Joseph at all.<\/p>\n<p>Her chin was being pinched by him. But she had to look him in the eye again.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph could see the softness in her eyes and the softness in her heart.<\/p>\n<p>He held her tightly in his arms. And his low voice sounded in her ears, &#8220;Kathy, let&#8217;s get married again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At the sound of his voice, Kathy was much calmer.<\/p>\n<p>Marriage was already an extravagant dream for her.<\/p>\n<p>She whispered, &#8220;No.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re playing rascal?&#8221; Joseph raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was embarrassed, &#8220;No. What I mean is, we might as well take it slow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She didn&#8217;t know why Joseph insisted on marrying her even though he knew she had only three years to live.<\/p>\n<p>It would be better if the two of them got along lightly without the shackles of marriage.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I&#8217;ll listen to my future wife.&#8221; At this moment, Joseph&#8217;s voice was intoxicating and romantic.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was willing to let herself drown.<\/p>\n<p>He just wished that time would go slower and slower.<\/p>\n<p>Under the dormitory building.<\/p>\n<p>The rain had stopped, and Kathy&#8217;s hand was held by Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>It turned out that what she wanted was so simple.<\/p>\n<p>As long as Joseph was around, it was enough.<\/p>\n<p>Leaning into his arms, she didn&#8217;t want to be apart from him for a second now.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Going back to Joseph Bay tonight, huh? You&#8217;re going to the Joseph&#8217;s Group tomorrow.&#8221; Joseph said.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy bit her lip and shook her head.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll be there on time tomorrow. Good night.&#8221; After saying that, she almost fled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1054","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1054","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=1054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
