Zofia&#8217;s room was on the other end. John rushed over at the middle of the night to help her pack up and take her away without delay.<\/p>\n<p>In the study, Joseph held a cigarette between his fingers, and continued the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are we still doing this? Was it Zofia?&#8221; Quinn frowned.<\/p>\n<p>He heard about something about the past of Joseph and Zofia. But he didn&#8217;t know the whole story.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, we are.&#8221; Joseph kept a straight face.<\/p>\n<p>He didn&#8217;t come back to the bedroom until it was almost two in the morning. Kathy woke up from her slumber. Remembering hearing something outside, she frowned, &#8220;What happened?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Zofia left.&#8221; Joseph told her the truth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What?&#8221; Kathy immediately sat up.<\/p>\n<p>She smelt the perfume on Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph never wore perfume, and it seemed to be Zofia&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She moved away. I asked her to.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why did you do this?&#8221; Kathy was a little angry with him for not telling her.<\/p>\n<p>It was so late. She was worried about Zofia.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do you have a problem with her?&#8221; She was somewhat irritated.<\/p>\n<p>How could he let a girl out in the middle of the night? No, she needed to find Zofia.<\/p>\n<p>Just as she was about to get out of bed, Joseph held her into his arms. &#8220;Kathy, I don&#8217;t want another woman at home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joseph said with a sullen look.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know, but she is my friend. It is just a week. And you know she just had an abortion.&#8221; Kathy explained.<\/p>\n<p>She hoped Joseph would understand.<\/p>\n<p>But of course, she didn&#8217;t want another woman at home.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve asked John to send her back to Bertie&#8217;s apartment. Don&#8217;t worry.&#8221; Joseph said with a straight face.<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Kathy felt relieved.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But why now?&#8221; Kathy muttered.<\/p>\n<p>He could have waited till tomorrow if he wanted her gone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Believe me, Zofia is fine now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned. She had a feeling that something had happened between them.<\/p>\n<p>Could it be argument?<\/p>\n<p>She knew they seemed to have known each other a long time ago, but they were just acquaintances.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph shouldn&#8217;t mind her staying here.<\/p>\n<p>She couldn&#8217;t just figure it out. Thinking made her tired, and she closed her eyes in Joseph&#8217;s arms.<\/p>\n<p>But she smelled the perfume, so she gently pushed him away, &#8220;Go take a bath.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joseph smiled indulgently and gave her so many kisses before going to the bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy then took out her phone and wanted to send Zofia a message. But on second thoughts, she put her phone away.<\/p>\n<p>In Bertie&#8217;s apartment.<\/p>\n<p>He was back in the afternoon. He picked up his sister and drove her to his apartment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s go back to Country C, alright?&#8221; Bertie looked at her gloomily.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No.&#8221; Zofia rejected without thinking.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joseph doesn&#8217;t like you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know, but he is responsible for me!&#8221; Zofia said firmly.<\/p>\n<p>Bertie pursed his lips. Of course, he understood her.<\/p>\n<p>He knew Zofia had a huge crush on Joseph. He couldn&#8217;t miss that.<\/p>\n<p>If Joseph and Kathy weren&#8217;t together, he might help his sister, but Kathy was very happy now. He didn&#8217;t want anyone to ruin it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s fine if you don&#8217;t help me. I&#8217;ll go back to school tomorrow.&#8221; Zofia said grimly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s up to you, but I won&#8217;t care if mom comes for you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You!&#8221; Zofia was angry. She knew that her family wasn&#8217;t happy with her staying in City N. If Bertie didn&#8217;t help her, she would be caught back for sure.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Help me, please. I will die without Joseph.&#8221; Zofia gritted her teeth.<\/p>\n<p>He was her life.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I won&#8217;t let you die. By the way, Sonny isn&#8217;t a bad guy.&#8221; Bertie said.<\/p>\n<p>The Marshalls didn&#8217;t like Sonny, but Bertie was an exception.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny wasn&#8217;t wealthy, but he loved his sister with heart and soul.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia did not need a rich husband. As long as he could make her happy, it was enough.<\/p>\n<p>If only Zofia could figure it out.<\/p>\n<p>Returning to his room, Bertie called Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thank you for sending her back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No problem.&#8221; Joseph replied plainly.<\/p>\n<p>He had just come out from bathroom. Kathy had fallen asleep, so he kept his voice low.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will try my best to persuade her to go back to Country C, but you know her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I won&#8217;t give her another chance. I believe you know what I&#8217;m saying.&#8221; Joseph said in a deep voice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1195","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1195","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=1195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
