That was enough to help him feel better.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy could sense Joseph suffering, but she was really not in the mood\u2026<\/p>\n<p>But she couldn\u2019t bear to see Joseph being tortured like this either.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, let\u2019s do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She raised her head and looked into Joseph\u2019s eyes. Gritting her teeth, she put her lips on his.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph narrowed his eyes. He couldn\u2019t resist Kathy\u2019s initiative. With his hand cupping the back of her head, he lied her down under him\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Outside the hotel.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at his unconscious sister, Reece\u2019s eyes were grim.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo the hospital,\u201d he told the driver.<\/p>\n<p>On the way, he got a phone call from Mathew.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPleasure working with you, Mr. Bridges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Mathew, the plan has failed. Ella is unconscious by my side right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat? My grandson was drugged, it\u2019s impossible for him to hold himself back with that influence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph\u2019s self-control is beyond our expectations,\u201d Reece said blandly.<\/p>\n<p>That drug was developed by the Bridges family in the early days. He was the only person who could resist the influence of the drug.<\/p>\n<p>But now it seemed Joseph was the second person who could do that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll handle things on my side. Please propose the marriage date soon.\u201d Reece\u2019s tone was authoritative as usual.<\/p>\n<p>Ella came to the moment Reece hang up the phone. The wound on her forehead was roughly taken care of, but it was still painful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReece?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph didn\u2019t touch you?\u201d Reece narrowed his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>A coat was put on Ella at this moment. But Reece already saw it. There was no sign of shagging underneath that coat.<\/p>\n<p>Ella shook her head in dismay. Joseph really\u2026 loathed her.<\/p>\n<p>She felt an impulse to give up every time she looked into his indifferent gaze.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReece, I can\u2019t do this anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI promised I\u2019ll make you marry him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut, he loathes me. Or you can even say he hates me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She really loved Joseph, so she couldn\u2019t overlook his emotions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, what do you have in mind?\u201d Reece was sophisticated and he could tell what Ella was thinking.<\/p>\n<p>She wanted to quit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe won\u2019t marry me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Joseph family will pressure him. He will have no choice but to marry you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs that so?\u201d Ella forced a wry smile.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was not a guy who would let anyone manipulate him.<\/p>\n<p>What happened this night was the best example. He was drugged, but he just won\u2019t touch her no matter how she seduced him.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>In the midnight, Kathy left the bathroom in Joseph\u2019s arms.<\/p>\n<p>They were both soaking wet, but there were no clothes in the room for them to change into.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was exhausted, but Joseph was ready to go again.<\/p>\n<p>She put her hand on his chest and held him off. She couldn\u2019t take any more.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph cuddled her and didn\u2019t continue on his actions.<\/p>\n<p>He knew she was tired.<\/p>\n<p>The flame of lust had subsided and his rationality had found its way back to him. He grabbed his phone. There was signal in the room now.<\/p>\n<p>He asked John to bring him two sets of clothes.<\/p>\n<p>It was midnight but he wasn\u2019t sleepy at all. After changing into the new set of clothes, he left the room. The banquet was over, the hall was pitch-dark.<\/p>\n<p>So he was indeed\u2026 a wolf in sheep\u2019s clothing?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome here.\u201d Joseph deep voice brought Kathy\u2019s mind back from wandering.<\/p>\n<p>She sat down beside him meekly.<\/p>\n<p>The laptop screen was filled with bunch of strings of numbers she couldn\u2019t comprehend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoes it still hurt?\u201d he asked gently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat?\u201d Kathy didn\u2019t get what he meant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour lower body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh\u2026\u201d Kathy\u2019s face flushed red. \u201cIt\u2019s okay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll right. Eat the pill.\u201d Joseph pointed at the pill on the table.<\/p>\n<p>They did it in the bathroom the previous night, so there wasn\u2019t any condom available. And he was under influence, so they did it many times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay\u2026\u201d Kathy lowered her gaze and recalled about this.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily Joseph was precautious, or she would be in huge trouble if she got pregnant out of this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKathy, it was my fault for not handling the situation well enough last night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was silent for a while upon hearing that.<\/p>\n<p>From her perspective, he had handled it pretty well.<\/p>\n<p>To say the least, he didn\u2019t touch Ella. He managed to control himself even in the half-trance state.<\/p>\n<p>She hugged him and uttered, \u201cI didn\u2019t blame you for what happened, Joseph.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll talk to Grandpa if this was really his doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandpa seems to be not very pleased with me,\u201d Kathy said in a low voice.<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t know how to turn this situation around.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Mathew will only be rest assured if she left Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why I want us to get into engagement.\u201d Joseph took out a familiar looking ring the next moment.<\/p>\n<p>Holding Kathy\u2019s hand, he put the ring on her middle finger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1149","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1149","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=1149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
