Chapter 408
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 408<\/p>\n
She bit her lip and mustered her courage; inside the office, Kathy saw a bear-shaped doll on the desk.<\/p>\n
She recalled the same bear was on Ella\u2019s shoulder bag.<\/p>\n
A bitterness flashed by her eyes.<\/p>\n
“Mr. Joseph, here is the report; if there is nothing else, I\u2019ll take my leave now.”<\/p>\n
As soon as she said these words, she turned around to leave.<\/p>\n
But Joseph was even quicker; he pressed on his remote and locked the door.<\/p>\n
Kathy’s face turned white as she heard the sound of the door lock.<\/p>\n
“What are you doing?” She lost all politeness from a while ago.<\/p>\n
In a commanding voice, Joseph said, “I promised you a make-up lesson; we\u2019ll get started once I finish the matter on hand.”<\/p>\n
“No need, I can look over the course material by myself.” Right now, she didn’t want to be with him at all.<\/p>\n
“Not up to you.” Joseph said coldly.<\/p>\n
“Mr. Joseph, are you biting off more than you can chew?” Kathy stared at him and mocked.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019re just teacher and student, isn’t that what you said?” Joseph raised his eyebrows.<\/p>\n
“Yes, but who knows what you\u2019re thinking.” Kathy whispered.<\/p>\n
In a split second, he stood before her; he raised her chin and gazed deeply into her eyes.<\/p>\n
“Do you want to know what I\u2019m thinking?”<\/p>\n
“No\u2026”<\/p>\n
Before she had a chance to finish, his kissed her lips, and pushed her words down her throat.<\/p>\n
He\u2026<\/p>\n
She regained composure and smacked hard on his chest, trying to push him away.<\/p>\n
But Joseph’s strength was too great; Kathy couldn’t move at all as he held her in his arms.<\/p>\n
After a while, Joseph let go.<\/p>\n
Kathy raised her hand and slapped Joseph with force. A flash of anger quickly ran by his eyes.<\/p>\n
But he kept his temper.<\/p>\n
Looking at the red palm shape on Joseph’s face, she thought about how much force she must have put into this slap.<\/p>\n
But Joseph didn’t even say one word.<\/p>\n
“Mr. Joseph, please keep your hands to yourself!”<\/p>\n
“Keep my hands to myself?” Joseph squinted, the look in his eyes grew dimmer.<\/p>\n
“You\u2019re getting married soon,” Kathy said sharply, “please, don’t harass me again.”<\/p>\n
“Harass you?”<\/p>\n
“Yes.” Kathy nodded without a second thought.<\/p>\n
He was quite intimate with Ella already, so why did he still harass her!<\/p>\n
“So even if you flunk tests, you won\u2019t come to me to make them up?” Joseph’s voice sounded calm, and he asked in a plain voice.<\/p>\n
“Yes!”<\/p>\n
Even if she failed her exams, never did she want to be alone with Joseph again!<\/p>\n
She had to stay away from him!<\/p>\n
Joseph unlocked the door and looked on as Kathy fled out; there was a noticeable look of disappointment in his eyes.<\/p>\n
Once Joseph got home, Veronica told him that Grandpa was angry with him, and that he would not attend Joseph\u2019s wedding with Ella. The only in-law he would recognize for Joseph to marry was Kathy.<\/p>\n
\u201cHm.\u201d Joseph\u2019s expression was calm.<\/p>\n
Veronica looked at him and wanted to say something, but she didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Lately, his behavior has become increasingly hard to understand.<\/p>\n
“Joseph, do you really plan to marry Ella?” After a long silence, she managed to ask.<\/p>\n
“Wedding preparations are already underway.” He frowned.<\/p>\n
“You never even told me.” Veronica said in a sullen voice.<\/p>\n
“Don’t fret over it.” Joseph said.<\/p>\n
“Well, you and my brother are getting married, but both families have not even met yet.” Veronica muttered.<\/p>\n
Grandpa was quite clear that he disapproved of this marriage; he refused to even meet with Ella\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
Ella’s hands trembled as she washed the vegetables. To meet the family… Her face became paler and paler.<\/p>\n
“My brother will attend the wedding; we will all meet him then.”<\/p>\n
“Alright.” Ella looked as if she was about to cry, so Veronica stopped asking.<\/p>\n
Veronica told Joseph everything from her chat with Ella.<\/p>\n
In the study, Veronica stared at her brother’s blank expression, “Ella is preparing downstairs; shouldn\u2019t you go help?”<\/p>\n
Ella sent all the servants away, but it was obvious she barely knew how to cook, and it was a mess. There was no one left to help, except for Joseph.<\/p>\n
“Let the servants cook.” Joseph frowned.<\/p>\n
“How can I; she wants to make lunch just for you.” Veronica said bitterly.<\/p>\n
Joseph’s face still had a blank expression. He had several video conference calls later. Veronica thought it was odd for him to completely ignore Ella.<\/p>\n
No matter; she\u2019ll take this opportunity to better get to know that woman.<\/p>\n
Finally, in the afternoon, Ella had finished preparing the rather terrible lunch.<\/p>\n
In fact, most of the dishes were overcooked; the rest of the dishes looked unappetizing.<\/p>\n
“Miss Ella, is this your first time cooking?” Veronica valued her life dearly, she didn’t dare to take a bite.<\/p>\n
She would call Joseph down and let him eat.<\/p>\n
Ella nodded remorsefully; who knew cooking was this difficult? Even after three hours of hard work, the meal looked inedible.<\/p>\n
She stood up, “You know what, let\u2019s toss these and order delivery instead.”<\/p>\n
At this very moment, Joseph arrived; upon seeing him, Ella’s face turned red.<\/p>\n
“Joseph.”<\/p>\n
Joseph frowned; before he even reached downstairs, he could smell the scent of something burning.<\/p>\n
“Are you here to cause trouble?” There was a horrifying look anger in his eyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1074","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1074","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=1074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
