The servant already put her meal on the table.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWas Joseph out?\u201d Kathy asked.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as she finished speaking,  a familiar figure emerged from the second floor. It was Lincoln.<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t put up a gentle face when he saw Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMrs. Joseph was a real idler.\u201d There was a hint of irony in his words.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d Kathy looked at him calmly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing.\u201d Lincoln held his tongue.<\/p>\n<p>He sat down on the opposite side, and the servant had apparently prepared his meal.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy then concluded that Joseph didn\u2019t go out today.<\/p>\n<p>At this time, Kathy\u2019s phone buzzed. Sue texted Kathy on Wechat, inquiring after Lincoln\u2019s whereabouts.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy: He is in Joseph Bay.<\/p>\n<p>Sue: Let him answer my call.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked up at Lincoln\u2019s gloomy face and frowned.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Lincoln\u2019s phone rang.<\/p>\n<p>Lincoln hung up without thinking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSue may have something important to tell you.\u201d Kathy said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe has nothing to do with me.\u201d Lincoln\u2019s tone was cold.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy replied to Sue that she couldn\u2019t help Sue.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph didn\u2019t come downstairs for lunch. Thinking that he didn\u2019t eat anything, Kathy carried some food to him.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was in the middle of a meeting, so Kathy did not disturb him.<\/p>\n<p>Backing onto the French window, Joseph dressed himself with homewear. His profile was bewitching.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was absent-minded. Her eyes were always inadvertently drawn to Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph\u2019s eyes met hers. His thin lips curled up.<\/p>\n<p>He then took strides with his long legs toward Kathy. Then Kathy was pressed against the sofa.<\/p>\n<p>Her mind went blank. Next, before she could regain her senses, she was out of breath because of Joseph\u2019s kisses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She surrendered to Joseph, as always. Kathy submissively closed her eyes. Then she clasped Joseph\u2019s neck with hands.<\/p>\n<p>However, clacks of footsteps came from afar. Lincoln\u2019s voice sounded outside, \u201cBuddy \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy widened her eyes. She immediately pushed Joseph away, but it was still too late.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph held Kathy in his arms. At the same time, Lincoln pushed open the door and entered.<\/p>\n<p>Lincoln\u2019s voice came to a halt when he found out what Joseph and Kathy were doing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFine, fine. I will leave you alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpeak or just go.\u201d Joseph stood up. Joseph then assumed his usual stern and composing appearances.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s face turned red. She straightened herself up. Now she was going to leave as she thought the two men may have something to talk.<\/p>\n<p>However, it struck her that Joseph didn\u2019t have his meal yet.<\/p>\n<p>She couldn\u2019t help but sink her face, \u201cJoseph, could you finish your lunch first?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWomen were troubles.\u201d Lincoln said coldly.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned. It seemed that she did not offend him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou shall leave first.\u201d Joseph\u2019s expression sank as he immediately showed Lincoln the door.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBuddy, you \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGet out!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The study quickly resumed silence. Lincoln slammed the door, which gave a quite big shock to Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Fletcher seems to be very dissatisfied with me.\u201d Kathy frowned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNever mind!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy knitted her eyebrows. After all, being accused for no reason was not a pleasant experience.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Lincoln and Sue seemed to be in a conflict, so it was difficult to angle some information from Sue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWill you go to the Joseph\u2019s Group today?\u201d said Kathy, as she took a seat beside Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know the truth very well.\u201d Kathy debunked his claim.<\/p>\n<p>Peter curled his lips indifferently. \u201cThe truth is that my mother died from the fake medicines developed by NCHV Medical Company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is still under investigation. You may wait before you jump into the conclusion.\u201d Kathy still kept her stern face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKathy, do you think NCHV Medical Company could recover? Don\u2019t be childish. Maybe, you could consider hopping to BT Group?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s impossible.\u201d Kathy refused without thinking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeter, sooner or later, you are bound to be punished.\u201d Kathy said angrily.<\/p>\n<p>Peter looked at Kathy\u2019s back. His cold face did not change.<\/p>\n<p>Be punished?<\/p>\n<p>He already had his curses.<\/p>\n<p>However, he had no way back.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy came back to Joseph Bay and Angela had been waiting for her for half an hour. Kathy did not know it.<\/p>\n<p>Angela was worried about Kathy, because no one greeted her when she came to Joseph Bay.<\/p>\n<p>She did not settle down until she saw Kathy, \u201cIt\u2019s so late. Where did you go?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, I just did the record with policemen. Why are you here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am so worried, because I can\u2019t get you through the phone. Besides, I come to confirm something. You won\u2019t apply for the postgraduate study, will you?\u201d Angela asked with a cold face.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned and remained silent.<\/p>\n<p>She knew that her mother was against it, but she had already made up her mind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKathy, your priority is to have a baby with Dr. Joseph. It won\u2019t be late for you to pursue the postgraduate study after you have the baby.\u201d Angela suggested.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, neither Dr. Joseph nor I have a plan to raise a baby. Don\u2019t worry, just let\u2019s run our courses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow could that be? Now I have the energy to help you with a baby. A few years later, I will be too old to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom, I\u2019ve already decided it. I hope you could respect my decision.\u201d Kathy now spoke with a stronger tone than before.<\/p>\n<p>Angela was stunned. She bit her tongue and swallowed down all the words she had planned to speak.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do it for your good.\u201d After a long while, Angela stammered out a sentence.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy lowered her eyes. Her heart was charged with mixed feelings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-897","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/897","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=897"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
