He pushed her in and changed the subject. &#8220;I&#8217;ll cook for you. You are poorly skinny.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Veronica pouted and looked at her brother worriedly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Why Joseph is haggard?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>After dinner, Joseph and Quinn were having a video conference.<\/p>\n<p>Veronica sobbed when she heard Quinn&#8217;s voice.<\/p>\n<p>Standing at the door of the study, she covered her mouth in case that they would hear her sobbing.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, she missed Quinn so badly and wanted to see him.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t until the conference ended that Veronica burst into tears.<\/p>\n<p>She had been trapped by Reece for wholly seven days. Each day was a torment for her.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph walked over and patted Veronica&#8217;s shoulder to comfort her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Veronica, everything will be better. I&#8217;m always here for you.&#8221; He said in a low voice.<\/p>\n<p>Veronica nodded, had a stronger desire to see Quinn. It was so hard for her to get a hold of this burning desire.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joseph, don&#8217;t go. I need you these days.&#8221; Veronica looked at him with tearful eyes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will stay here with you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After getting Veronica to sleep, Joseph left his sister&#8217;s bedroom and returned to his study. He stood in front of the French window. His head was full of Kathy who was so delicate.<\/p>\n<p>He took out a cigarette and lit it, held it between his fingers. However, he missed Kathy more greatly.<\/p>\n<p>After a while, he stubbed out the cigarette and left for Joseph Bay.<\/p>\n<p>As the car drove into the residential area, he saw a familiar person coming out from Joseph Bay.<\/p>\n<p>She wore a pure white slim dress with long hair down to her shoulders. He couldn&#8217;t see her face clearly, but the silhouette was very familiar. She was obviously the one he missed these days.<\/p>\n<p>He tightened his grip on the steering wheel. His eyes were burning with desire.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy getting into a taxi, he stepped on the accelerator and followed the taxi at a proper distance.<\/p>\n<p>Half an hour later, the taxi stopped at the gate of University F. Joseph&#8217;s gaze landed on that thin figure. After she was out of his sight, he drove back to Joseph Bay.<\/p>\n<p>He turned on the light, and saw the three dishes and one soup on the dining table.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, they were cooked by Kathy because they didn&#8217;t look delicious.<\/p>\n<p>Probably because they had been on the table for a long time, the smell faded.<\/p>\n<p>There were two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks beside them. Joseph guessed that the dinner was for him.<\/p>\n<p>However, why didn&#8217;t she invite him to eat?<\/p>\n<p>Joseph pursed his thin lips as he sat down and picked up the chopsticks.<\/p>\n<p>He tasted every dish. Although they were cold, he enjoyed them all and ate all.<\/p>\n<p>Closing his eyes, he felt gloomy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>A week later, Mrs. Marshall&#8217;s funeral was held on a cemetery in West Suburban.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy went back to the Booth&#8217;s, would go with Jennifer to the funeral.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer noticed her sallow face at first glance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Where&#8217;s Joseph? Why didn&#8217;t he come with you?&#8221; Jennifer asked in surprise.<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Kathy froze, pursed her lips, and got lost in words.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kathy, tell me, what happened?&#8221; Jennifer stopped and felt sorry for her.<\/p>\n<p>She had found that Kathy acted a little unusual.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nothing. Joseph is too busy recently. I haven&#8217;t contacted him long.&#8221; Kathy answered softly.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, she hadn&#8217;t even met Joseph this week and never called him.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy supposed that he was by Zofia&#8217;s side.<\/p>\n<p>She didn&#8217;t want to go there for him because she thought she would disturb them.<\/p>\n<p>She really &#8230; couldn&#8217;t figure out what he was thinking.<\/p>\n<p>He stayed by Zofia&#8217;s side because Mrs. Marshall passed away?<\/p>\n<p>Why didn&#8217;t he even give her an explanation?<\/p>\n<p>What exactly happened between them?<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was sullen because they were so intimate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Come back with me later.&#8221; Joseph said in a deep voice.<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Kathy looked up and smiled coldly. &#8220;No, I think Mr Joseph should go back with Miss Marshall.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kathy.&#8221; Joseph frowned.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Enough!&#8221; Kathy turned to leave.<\/p>\n<p>Facing Joseph, she was afraid that she would give in to him.<\/p>\n<p>She didn&#8217;t like being this.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph grabbed her wrist. She lost balance and was in his arms.<\/p>\n<p>The familiar smell infatuated her.<\/p>\n<p>She really missed him.<\/p>\n<p>However, she also hated him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kathy, what did you call me?&#8221; Joseph asked coldly.<\/p>\n<p>He stared at Kathy, was very terrific.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy, looked at him, didn&#8217;t feel scared. She saw her little figure in his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>She answered sarcastically, &#8220;Mr Joseph.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kathy, I know you&#8217;re angry with me.&#8221; Joseph said with almost flat assurance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, I don&#8217;t.&#8221; She jerked him forcibly away.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph didn&#8217;t even step back but clung to her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1217","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1217","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=1217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
