You don&#8217;t like it, but you kissed me, and you even&#8230;&#8221; Kathy was unable to utter the next words.<\/p>\n<p>She felt that her relationship with Joseph was simply monstrous!<\/p>\n<p>She had to break it off!<\/p>\n<p>If she hadn&#8217;t been so close to him, she would have been able to play the role of his wife, but now she wanted to face her own heart.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Even what? Don&#8217;t you like that, Mrs Joseph?&#8221; His voice was low and deadly, like a violin playing her heartstrings.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s heart trembled, what did Joseph mean?<\/p>\n<p>She liked&#8230; none of this!<\/p>\n<p>Who said she liked it?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t like it? Then usually your voice was so&#8230;&#8221; his words fell on her ears, causing Kathy&#8217;s face to explode in redness.<\/p>\n<p>Raising her hand to immediately cover his mouth, what did he even say!<\/p>\n<p>Kathy couldn&#8217;t help but glare at him, &#8220;That&#8217;s my normal reaction!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, Mrs Joseph, that&#8217;s called emotion.&#8221; Joseph looked like he was giving a lecture.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy, however, was so unhappy that she gritted her teeth, not wanting to hear him speak. She simply covered her ears.<\/p>\n<p>But Joseph refused to let her go, tugging down her hand and bending down, his handsome face leaning extremely close as if he was about to kiss her again.<\/p>\n<p>But he didn&#8217;t, he just said word by word in a low voice, &#8220;Just don&#8217;t want to admit that you like me, eh?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy only felt a bang in her brain, and Joseph\u2019s eyes were able to explain everything.<\/p>\n<p>So, he knew everything.<\/p>\n<p>She lowered her head, pushed him away and ran away. But before she ran out of the bedroom, he caught her in his arms. He narrowed his eyes, &#8220;First, tell me why did you suspect my sexual orientation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy scratched her head, apprehensive about Joseph\u2019s deep gaze, &#8220;You refused to divorce, so I assumed that you wanted to relieve family pressure, but perhaps the deeper reason was that you didn&#8217;t want to expose your abnormal sexual orientation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As soon as the words trailed off, Joseph helplessly rubbed her head, and the tightness eased considerably.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mrs Joseph\u2019s brain circuit is special.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was speechless.<\/p>\n<p>Did she guess wrong?<\/p>\n<p>Although she wasn&#8217;t too sure herself, Joseph&#8217;s words always made her suspicious.<\/p>\n<p>And&#8230; why couldn&#8217;t he like her?<\/p>\n<p>If he was not gay&#8230;then his heart was with another woman?<\/p>\n<p>Thinking of this possibility, Kathy\u2019s mood became even more uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p>She raised her eyes to look at him, Joseph did not retort but was not angry anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking of what he had just said, Kathy was feeling uncomfortable all over.<\/p>\n<p>He knew she liked him.<\/p>\n<p>Her head was lifted by Joseph again, his eyes became hot, &#8220;I refuse to divorce because Mrs Joseph can only be you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was muddled and confused, what did he mean?<\/p>\n<p>Shouldn&#8217;t Mrs Joseph be&#8230; anyone?<\/p>\n<p>After all, Joseph just needed a wife, not her.<\/p>\n<p>The loss in Kathy\u2019s heart came overwhelmingly.<\/p>\n<p>Not wanting to hear any of his words, Kathy pushed him away with all her strength this time. Standing a few meters away from him, \u201cJoseph, I do love you, but I know the difference between us. If it wasn&#8217;t because you needed a wife, you wouldn&#8217;t have married me. Don&#8217;t worry, I won&#8217;t want more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joseph frowned. The moment Kathy turned around and went out, he kicked the door and blocked her in his arms again in an instant.<\/p>\n<p>He took a deep breath, his hidden good temper almost dissipating, but towards Kathy, he didn&#8217;t get angry at all.<\/p>\n<p>Squeezing her chin, his voice was low, &#8220;Tell me, what would you want more of?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s heart was bitter and sweet at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>After sleeping for a while, Kathy woke up starving and hadn&#8217;t eaten anything all afternoon until now. Right at this moment, a burst of fragrance penetrated her nostrils.<\/p>\n<p>Walking out of the living room, it turned out that Chef Joseph had already made two dishes and a soup.<\/p>\n<p>Before this, he cooked mostly western food, but now he was also good at Chinese food.<\/p>\n<p>It was a perfect score just for the way it was elegantly displayed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m starving.&#8221; Kathy couldn&#8217;t help but say that as soon as she sat down, she started to dig in.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the man across kept looking at her, and Kathy was a little embarrassed.<\/p>\n<p>Sticking her tongue out, she gave him a large piece of ribs, &#8220;Joseph, dig in!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The love of spoiling her in Joseph\u2019s eyes surfaced. Just as he picked up the chopsticks, the phone rang. Kathy saw the caller ID, it was Edith.<\/p>\n<p>She lowered her head, and the smile on her lips faded away.<\/p>\n<p>After answering the phone, Joseph went back to his room almost immediately and came out with a new shirt already on, his eyebrows furrowed gloomily.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re going out?&#8221; Kathy could not help but ask.<\/p>\n<p>But Joseph hadn&#8217;t eaten yet.<\/p>\n<p>He nodded his head and stopped by at Kathy\u2019s side, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to take care of a few things, so you can rest early after eating.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After kissing Kathy\u2019s brow, Joseph turned around to leave.<\/p>\n<p>The house became empty all of a sudden. Although dinner was delicious, how would it taste like without Joseph?<\/p>\n<p>Kathy went back to her room after clearing up the dishes and realized that there were several missed calls on her phone, and they were from Alexia.<\/p>\n<p>She quickly called back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kathy, come over to the HJ Club &#8230;bring along the contract with LS Group.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-830","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/830","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=830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
