Kathy shook her head repeatedly.<\/p>\n<p>Today should be the first time they had ever met each other.<\/p>\n<p>She might have seen him just now from afar in the backyard, but that was it.<\/p>\n<p>The man looked disappointed. He helped her with directions last time, but she didn\u2019t seem to remember him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you lost again?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked at him puzzledly, again?<\/p>\n<p>Could it be\u2026<\/p>\n<p>She finally remembered. No wonder his voice sounded so familiar.<\/p>\n<p>It was hard to forget such a deep and husky voice.<\/p>\n<p>Not long ago at Joseph and Ella\u2019s wedding banquet, she got lost and this man gave her directions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am indeed lost again,\u201d she said awkwardly, but she was less tense than before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll lead you out of here.\u201d The man threw away his cigarette butt and made a gentleman gesture beckoning Kathy to go on first.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy tried to look for Joseph when they arrived at the resplendent terrace in the garden.<\/p>\n<p>A glass of alcohol was brought in front of her, \u201cHave some champagne, this has low alcohol content.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy didn\u2019t take the glass from him. She thanked him once more and walked to the other side.<\/p>\n<p>The man wanted to go after her, but he was quickly surrounded by women in sexy dresses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey mister, are you alone?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reece was used to flirtatious people like them. He smiled mischievously and hugged one woman by her soft waist and squeezed it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not interested in you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said dispassionately and walked into the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was talking to a few guests by the pool.<\/p>\n<p>Ella followed him the whole time.<\/p>\n<p>She ran up to Joseph as soon as he was alone.<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t notice that the floor by the pool was slippery and just when she was about to fall into the pool, Joseph pulled her back like the gentleman he was.<\/p>\n<p>Ella planted her face on his shoulder, she hurt herself slightly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry about this,\u201d she said as she held onto Joseph&#8217;s arms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElla, let go.\u201d Joseph had already let go of her, but Ella didn\u2019t do the same.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was getting furious, but Ella wasn\u2019t afraid this time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think I twist my ankle. I couldn\u2019t stand properly,\u201d said Ella in a soft tone.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph frowned, but still, he let go of her heartlessly.<\/p>\n<p>Ella fell to one side, though she managed to stand on her own feet.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph turned away coldheartedly and didn\u2019t bother to look at her.<\/p>\n<p>Reece who was nearby walked over and helped his sister sit down on a chair nearby.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou shouldn\u2019t have come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ella bit her lips and tried to hold her tears, her eyes were already red.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to marry him!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reece squinted, \u201cI will help you, but now you have to listen to me and return to country C.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m not going! Mom had another marriage arranged for me. I wouldn\u2019t fall in love with anyone but Joseph!\u201d said Ella angrily.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to put on an act, my dear sister. First, we have to make mom let her guard down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ella believed his words half-heartedly. He was her brother, but they weren\u2019t related by blood. She was always quite afraid of him.<\/p>\n<p>But she knew how controlling he could be and didn\u2019t dare to disobey him.<\/p>\n<p>Though, she still wanted to see Joseph again before that.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Kathy couldn\u2019t find Joseph anywhere. She bumped into Keira who brought her to the dressing room just now.<\/p>\n<p>She was holding Julian\u2019s arm as she smiled gently.<\/p>\n<p>She took long strides in her high heels and walked towards Kathy when she spotted her.<\/p>\n<p>Julian came with her as well.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was walking towards the exit and Keira immediately asked when she came by, \u201cMiss Kathy, are you leaving already? The party hasn\u2019t ended yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah.\u201d Kathy nodded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElla.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see.\u201d Kathy was pouting, she seemed unhappy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI pushed her away immediately just now. Don\u2019t be jealous.\u201d Joseph turned her face towards him.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy slid into his arms, she felt even more unhappy when she smelled an unfamiliar perfume scent on him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not being jealous,\u201d said Kathy stiffly.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph looked at her wronged face and sighed lovingly. He held her face up and said, \u201cI\u2019ll shower first before getting close to you again, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ella did leap into his arms without his knowing just now. He just helped her like the gentleman he was, nothing more than that happened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no need, I trust you,\u201d said Kathy as she pressed her head against his chest.<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t want to fight with Joseph over such small matters.<\/p>\n<p>The car moved slowly, and the driver turned his head awkwardly after a while, \u201cMr. Joseph, there\u2019s a car following us behind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph looked at the back mirror and his eyes dimmed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho is it?\u201d asked Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s the Bridges\u2019 car.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s your debt from your luck with women,\u201d said Kathy jokingly.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph then hugged her waist tightly, he pressed her into his arms and said, \u201cI only have debts with you, Kathy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At that moment, Kathy met his gentle eyes. She felt like the world was spinning as he kissed her deeply.<\/p>\n<p>The white car that was following them stopped as well when they got off at the Joseph Bay.<\/p>\n<p>Ella got off the car and saw the two flirting from afar. She really couldn\u2019t\u2026couldn\u2019t let go!<\/p>\n<p>She couldn\u2019t help but followed them, her feelings were uncontrollable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiss Bridges is so infatuated with you.\u201d Kathy yanked Joseph\u2019s arm. Kathy thought that since Ella got to this point, she might as well just enjoy the show.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph grimaced, he walked towards Ella with his arm on Kathy\u2019s waist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElla, what do you want?\u201d asked Joseph ruthlessly, as if Ella was just a stranger.<\/p>\n<p>Tears welled up in Ella\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Why did she disappoint herself again and again?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1103","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1103","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=1103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
