Chapter 407
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 407<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you miss me all these while?\u201d he asked in a low voice.<\/p>\n
Kathy shook her head coldly.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you not going to ask me anything?\u201d He frowned.<\/p>\n
\u201cI knew everything already. There\u2019s nothing else to ask about,\u201d said Kathy bitterly.<\/p>\n
Of course, she knew that Joseph was talking about him and Ella.<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t marry her,\u201d said Joseph as he stared at her intensely.<\/p>\n
Kathy smiled and said, \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter to me if you marry her or not.\u201d<\/p>\n
She then tried to push him away with all her might.<\/p>\n
She ran out of the office without looking back. Tears started to well up in her eyes and in the end, she couldn\u2019t help but started to bawl.<\/p>\n
She wiped her eyes and took a deep breath, but she couldn\u2019t control her emotions. She found a corner and squatted down as she sniffled, though her tears began to come down like a waterfall.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoseph, you bastard!\u201d<\/p>\n
She grabbed a stone and threw it hard, trying to vent her anger.<\/p>\n
The rock fell on a flawless and shiny pair of leather shoes.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d Kathy apologized without looking up, she was still immersed in her negative emotions.<\/p>\n
The shadow looming over her bent over and gave her a piece of tissue. The scent coming from the person was so very familiar.<\/p>\n
She looked up and met Joseph\u2019s eyes, he was wearing a pained expression.<\/p>\n
She had to be seeing things. Why would he feel pain for her?<\/p>\n
He wouldn\u2019t possess such emotions.<\/p>\n
Kathy thought briefly, she didn\u2019t take the tissue from him and she tried to run away.<\/p>\n
But Joseph already hugged her tightly in his arms. His voice vibrated on the top of her head, \u201cTrust me, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
His voice was ever so enchanting.<\/p>\n
Kathy was trembling, but her voice was still as cold as before, \u201cLet go of me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t,\u201d answered Joseph aggressively.<\/p>\n
This made Kathy more repulsive, she sounded furious when she said, \u201cJoseph, we shouldn\u2019t be having any contact at all. You are getting married!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t marry her,\u201d he repeated himself.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou think I will believe anything you spout?\u201d Kathy looked at him with watery eyes.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t that she didn\u2019t believe what he said, but she didn\u2019t dare to trust it.<\/p>\n
More disappointment only led to despair.<\/p>\n
He never denied that he and Ella were engaged.<\/p>\n
She always thought that they were in love with each other when they were together.<\/p>\n
But it was only her delusions.<\/p>\n
She laughed sarcastically, \u201cProfessor Joseph, let go of me. Someone will see us here and that will not be good for both me and you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph\u2019s face was dark. It was turning darker and Kathy couldn\u2019t see his expression.<\/p>\n
But she could feel anger coming from him.<\/p>\n
What was he mad about?<\/p>\n
She should be the one getting angry.<\/p>\n
She was the one hidden from the truth the whole time.<\/p>\n
The arm hugging her waist finally loosen up. Kathy quickly left as soon as she was freed.<\/p>\n
But her heart hurt, it hurt so badly.<\/p>\n
She knew that she shouldn\u2019t start over with Joseph. She shouldn\u2019t\u2026<\/p>\n
At Joseph\u2019s group.<\/p>\n
John looked at his boss astonishedly. He thought to himself, \u201cWhy is Mr. Joseph still here at this time?\u201d<\/p>\n
He wanted to leave soon.<\/p>\n
When would his work environment return to normal again\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cGive me the medical reports,\u201d said Joseph.<\/p>\n
Josh immediately handed him Kathy\u2019s medical reports. It had been a month since Joseph would look at the medical reports intently every night.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Joseph, Miss Bridges wants you to call her back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah.\u201d Joseph stood up and walked towards the bar table. He drank a cup of alcohol and began to work again.<\/p>\n
Even though he rested for a bit, the exhaustion was still visible on his face.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll stay here and accompany you. I can also help you with some work if you want, I want to help you where I can.\u201d Ella stared at him passionately.<\/p>\n
But Joseph never looked at her once. He sat down at his desk and said plainly, \u201cYou should go home earlier, you\u2019ll just bother me by being here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ella looked disappointed, but she never left. After a while, she fell asleep on the sofa.<\/p>\n
Joseph wasn\u2019t in the office anymore when she woke up the next morning. She asked around and found out that he had a meeting.<\/p>\n
The meeting only ended around evening and Ella immediately went to find Joseph.<\/p>\n
The lift\u2019s door opposite to where Ella was standing opened suddenly. Kathy was taking part in the discussion of the R&D of a new medicine product today and had to hand in a report. She saw Joseph and Ella the moment she walked out of the lift.<\/p>\n
Ella was standing next to Joseph and she subconsciously held his arm the moment she saw Kathy.<\/p>\n
The expression in Joseph\u2019s eyes turned frigid. He stared at Ella\u2019s hand and said coldly, \u201cLet go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ella shrugged. She held on to him tighter as Kathy walked closer towards them.<\/p>\n
Kathy frowned and was going to ignore them.<\/p>\n
But Joseph called out to her, \u201cKathy, wait a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n
He then looked at Ella and pushed her away.<\/p>\n
He told John who was standing behind him the whole time, \u201cSend Miss Bridges home.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJoseph\u2026\u201d said Ellain a kittenish voice.<\/p>\n
But Joseph already pushed her away and moved to block Kathy\u2019s way.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Joseph, this is the report from today\u2019s R&D discussion. Please take a look.\u201d Kathy handed him the document and had a professional attitude.<\/p>\n
Joseph didn\u2019t take the report from her and just said, \u201cFollow me.\u201d<\/p>\n
He walked into the lift after saying that.<\/p>\n
Kathy didn\u2019t move, she looked at him cautiously.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you want me to carry you?\u201d said Joseph sternly.<\/p>\n
Kathy bit her lips. \u201cHe\u2019s too much!\u201d she thought to herself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1073","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1073","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=1073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
