When she came back to her room, she was so tired that she lay down as soon as she got on the bed.<\/p>\n<p>After getting up and taking a bath, she hung clothes on the balcony, only to find that the tall figure downstairs hadn&#8217;t left yet.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy withdrew her gaze almost at once, but Reece had clearly spotted her just now.<\/p>\n<p>She was a little irritated. She sat at the desk and intended to read a book, but her mind was all about Joseph. She couldn&#8217;t get rid of him.<\/p>\n<p>Coincidentally, Joseph called her.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy smiled and picked up the phone sweetly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are you going to bed?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Soon, but I want to read some books now. What about you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m still in the hospital. Just finished an operation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s so late. You may go back as soon as possible.&#8221; Kathy said concernedly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Alright, have a good rest, Kathy.&#8221; Joseph&#8217;s voice was very gentle.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Good night.&#8221; Kathy&#8217;s heart trembled.<\/p>\n<p>After hanging up, Joseph took off his doctor&#8217;s overall. After hearing the assistant report the work, he quickly left the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>However, a thin figure stopped him.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia had obviously waited for quite some time. Now that it was getting cold, she was dressed so little that she could not help but shiver.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joseph.&#8221; Seeing Joseph walk out, Zofia revealed a smile, who had kept a straight face for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was always indifferent as he looked at her, frowning.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Have you eaten yet? Shall we have a meal together?&#8221; Zofia looked at him expectantly.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph quickly withdrew his gaze from her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Zofia, it&#8217;s very late. You should go home now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not going back. I want to go back after dinner with you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Joseph looked sullen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What do you want to say? Just say it now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Zofia pouted and stared at Joseph&#8217;s indifferent expression.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The shares my mother transferred to you are yours. Don&#8217;t sell them, okay?&#8221; As Zofia spoke, she was about to cry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can keep them, but only if you accept my shares.&#8221; Joseph looked at Zofia.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You just don&#8217;t want to marry me!&#8221; Zofia couldn&#8217;t hold back her tears anymore.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Zofia, we can never be together. I have always remembered Mrs. Marshall&#8217;s kindness to me, so I will treat you as my sister and take good care of you.&#8221; Joseph said in a low tone.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia could be his family, but she would never be his lover.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sister &#8230; I don&#8217;t want to be your sister. Joseph, I want to be your wife!&#8221; Zofia grabbed Joseph&#8217;s shirt fiercely, which were soaked with her tears. She intended to hug him.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph pushed her away gently and quickly instructed John to send Zofia home.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joseph, my mother saved your life. Your life &#8230; belongs to the Marshall family! This is what you owe us&#8230;.&#8221; Zofia&#8217;s voice was still echoing in the distance, and Joseph frowned.<\/p>\n<p>Sitting in the car, he sat still for a long time before starting the engine. He put a cigarette between his fingertips, and threw away the cigarette butt after a while.<\/p>\n<p>After sending Zofia back to the Marshall family, John received a call from Joseph and immediately rushed to the Joseph Bay.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr Joseph, at present, no one has bought the Marshall Group shares in the market. I found out that Bertie controlled your shares and prevented anyone from buying them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joseph squinted coldly, not surprised.<\/p>\n<p>Because it was taken at night, Kathy could not see their expressions clearly. But she could see from the photo that the two were quite intimate.<\/p>\n<p>However, because it was Zofia that sent it to her, she did not believe that what she saw was the reality.<\/p>\n<p>However, when she thought of them hugging each other, she felt a little uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p>After a pause, she couldn&#8217;t help but send the photo to Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>The next second, Joseph called her.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph hadn&#8217;t read the WeChat message yet. He was currently at the airport and was about to go on a business trip.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are you going to City D? When will you come back?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In one week.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Alright, then we won&#8217;t see each other for a long time.&#8221; Kathy sighed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m here to pick you up now. Come with me, okay?&#8221; Joseph said abruptly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, I&#8217;ve been busy lately.&#8221; Kathy was in a dilemma.<\/p>\n<p>She also wanted to go with Joseph, but thinking about it, she probably had no time to rest for so many days.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can just put your work aside. I will talk to Dona to ask leave for you.&#8221; Joseph had already known how to arrange for her.<\/p>\n<p>But Kathy was reluctant to go away.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, Joseph, I&#8217;ve already obtained enough privileges from Professor Zane. Don&#8217;t ask for leave from her. Alright, I&#8217;ll wait for you in City N to receive you then, okay?&#8221; Kathy&#8217;s voice softened.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kathy.&#8221; Joseph frowned, but he didn&#8217;t say yes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Deal. If you really bring me to City D, I will be angry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Alright, if anything happens, just tell me. John was in City N. You can look for him at any time.&#8221; Joseph said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1221","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1221","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=1221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
