I just didn&#8217;t pay attention to the time.&#8221; Kathy whispered.<\/p>\n<p>Once she got focused, she always forgot everything around her.<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t mean to work late. But by the time she got things done, it was already late.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Or are you waiting for me?&#8221; Joseph, however, acted as if he hadn&#8217;t heard her. He forced her almost to the wall and then raised his long arm. Kathy was completely trapped in the crook of his arm.<\/p>\n<p>She was almost indulging in the cold aura that belonged exclusively to Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>She turned her head away, not wanting to look at him.<\/p>\n<p>But he was holding her chin, and she had to meet his deep gaze. His black eyes clearly reflected her blushing face.<\/p>\n<p>His thin lips curled into a smile, &#8220;Are you afraid of me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Of course not, Mr. Joseph, I just want to go back to school.&#8221; Kathy scowled.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m getting married to Ella tomorrow. Aren&#8217;t you sad?&#8221; Joseph asked her in a grim tone as if he hadn&#8217;t heard her.<\/p>\n<p>Hearing what he said, Kathy was still indifferent, &#8220;Mr. Joseph, do you want to see me cry? Sorry, you&#8217;re going to be disappointed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At this moment, there was a cell phone ringing. It was Joseph&#8217;s cell phone.<\/p>\n<p>He frowned and took out his phone from his pocket. The caller ID was &#8211; Ella.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy pushed him away hard almost immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Only when she got to the door she found that it was locked.<\/p>\n<p>She turned her head to find Joseph already picking up the phone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joseph, are you still at the office? I haven&#8217;t seen you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes.&#8221; Joseph&#8217;s face was cold.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I &#8230; want to see you. I&#8217;m so nervous &#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She was so uneasy for the past few days. The wedding date was getting closer and closer, and everything was ready.<\/p>\n<p>But she couldn&#8217;t even see Joseph once these days. Only she and Veronica were preparing everything.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ella, see you tomorrow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After saying that, Joseph didn&#8217;t give Ella another chance to speak and quickly hung up the phone.<\/p>\n<p>While listening to his gentle voice, the coldness on Kathy&#8217;s face gradually spread.<\/p>\n<p>She took a deep breath and walked up to Joseph, &#8220;Joseph, what do you mean?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to hear you tell the truth.&#8221; He looked deep into her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy pursed her lips, &#8220;What truth?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m getting married. Are you really willing to see that?&#8221; Joseph cupped her chin, then bent down. All of a sudden, their faces were extremely close to each other.<\/p>\n<p>A little closer and they were about to kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy tried to step back, but Joseph&#8217;s strength was too strong for her to break free.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the handsome face magnified in front of her, her heartbeat gradually missed a beat.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, she was &#8230; unwilling to see that.<\/p>\n<p>But so what?<\/p>\n<p>She smiled sarcastically, &#8220;Could it be that if I say I don&#8217;t want to, and then Mr. Joseph won&#8217;t get married?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joseph scowled. He hated Kathy for calling him &#8220;Mr. Joseph&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>He said in a low voice, &#8220;Call me Joseph.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy ignored him. She pressed her hand hard against his chest, and her eyes were full of resistance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I&#8217;m not getting married.&#8221; Joseph&#8217;s extremely good voice rang in her ears.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was dumbfounded. She looked at Joseph, trying to read his emotions.<\/p>\n<p>But she really couldn&#8217;t see through him.<\/p>\n<p>The words &#8220;I&#8217;m not getting married&#8221; came out of his mouth too easily.<\/p>\n<p>She couldn&#8217;t believe it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joseph, who are you fooling?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How dare I fool you? Kathy, why don&#8217;t you ever want to believe me?&#8221; Joseph cupped her face. Under his eyes was a burning heat that was about to explode.<\/p>\n<p>Once he was near her, he could never control himself.<\/p>\n<p>Just like now.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are you so unwilling to stay with me?&#8221; Joseph walked over.<\/p>\n<p>He kept a distance of half a meter away from Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy pursed her lips and nodded her head heavily.<\/p>\n<p>Except that Joseph&#8217;s low, muffled words from earlier flashed through her mind &#8211; I&#8217;m not getting married.<\/p>\n<p>She smiled. Whether it was true or not, she no longer wanted to know.<\/p>\n<p>Just let their relationship stop there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As you wish. I will marry Ella.&#8221; Looking at Kathy, Joseph said furiously. He walked to the door and easily cracked the fingerprint lock.<\/p>\n<p>He left indifferently and arrogantly.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy&#8217;s heart ached. She slowly squatted down. Tears had long since spread across her face.<\/p>\n<p>She couldn&#8217;t do it.<\/p>\n<p>She couldn&#8217;t do it without any emotion at all.<\/p>\n<p>It was not until she heard Joseph&#8217;s words that she really felt her heart ache. She couldn&#8217;t accept Joseph getting married. She couldn&#8217;t accept that the woman he was marrying was not her.<\/p>\n<p>She dreaded to think of the image of their wedding tomorrow. Every scene irritated her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t go.&#8221; She murmured subconsciously, but Joseph was long gone from the lab.<\/p>\n<p>Only her very faint voice remained for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Around the corner, Joseph leaned against the wall. The coldness under his eyes raged.<\/p>\n<p>He took a puff of his cigarette and walked slowly away with his long legs.<\/p>\n<p>He didn&#8217;t look back.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy didn&#8217;t know how she got back to the dorm. By the time she came back to her senses, she was already lying in bed.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia had gone back to the Marshall family tonight, and she was alone in the empty dorm.<\/p>\n<p>Closing her eyes, she felt so tired and uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p>But she couldn&#8217;t sleep at all. Tomorrow Joseph was getting married. Next to her was the invitation Ella had given her.<\/p>\n<p>She opened it and remembered the name of the hotel at a glance.<\/p>\n<p>But none of this had anything to do with her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1080","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1080","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=1080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
