I know you have planned to further your study. I also get to know the happening in City N, but you should remember that Joseph family will support you forever,\u201d Mathew said earnestly.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph family.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was indeed giving her the greatest support.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy felt slightly warm.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph arrived a bit late. Just then, Diego came back too.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph showed his sullen face instantly.<\/p>\n<p>When they were dining, Kathy sat beside Joseph whereas Diego sat opposite to Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>But he never looked at his father.<\/p>\n<p>Diego did not mention Joseph at all when he chatted with Mathew.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy lowered her head, she felt uneasy in this awkward atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>After dining, Joseph was called by grandpa to the study room. Kathy felt bored and went for a stroll in the garden.<\/p>\n<p>When she just passed by the rockery, Joseph\u2019s voice was heard.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy stopped walking instinctively.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy do you come here? I have asked you to stay in the hotel!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI miss you so much. When are you going to announce our relationship to the public?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not the right timing now. I miss you too, my dear\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re bad\u2026Please don\u2019t\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was flushed, she did not expect to encounter this kind of situation. She turned and walked away.<\/p>\n<p>However, she accidentally stepped on the rubble on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Diego turned his head incisively and asked instantly, \u201cWho is that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was frozen. She quickly walked non-stop towards the bungalow.<\/p>\n<p>Diego wanted to chase after her but blocked by a woman, \u201cDon\u2019t you say your father and your son are in the study room now? She might be the maid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHum, baby, let\u2019s continue\u2014\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The disgusting voice made Kathy shiver and she banged into a stiff chest. Joseph hugged her firmly.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was stunned. She was relieved then when she smelled the recognized odour.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph squinted his eyes coldly. Even if he had not gone there, he knew what was going on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s go back,\u201d he held Kathy\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy nodded. Diego was in his fifties, but the woman\u2019s appearance, figure and voice were barely twenty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you afraid?\u201d Joseph asked Kathy attentively as she kept silent all the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo,\u201d Kathy shook her head.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph held her head, his lips touched her forehead, \u201cDiego is fond of sex life, don\u2019t get closer to him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have understood,\u201d Kathy hugged Joseph first to console him as well as herself.<\/p>\n<p>She suddenly realized of what kind of family was Joseph born in.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Three days later, Kathy received the admission letter from Ocean University.<\/p>\n<p>She sat in front of the computer, read the email carefully to make sure that it was true.<\/p>\n<p>Her smile began to plaster on her face. She told Joseph the good news immediately.<\/p>\n<p>It did not seem to surprise Joseph, he smiled, \u201cCongratulations, Mrs. Joseph.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWow, I get good comment from Mr Watson. I have to work harder as I am his only postgraduate student this year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have always believed that my wife is the best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t praise me anymore, I think I am just lucky,\u201d Kathy said.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the person that she wanted to appreciate the most was Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>It was Joseph who recommended her to Mr Watson, then the opportunity came.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you, Joseph.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUh-huh, if you want to thank me, take some action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, in the Booth family, she had to deal with a lot of complicated people. So, she felt depressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s better for you to think that way. But, there is some relationship between the Booth family and the Hilton family, right?\u201d Mathew frowned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy mother is married to the Hilton family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mathew darkened his face.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy had noticed that but did not say much.<\/p>\n<p>Just then, she heard a familiar voice coming from the door, it was Diego .<\/p>\n<p>Together with him, there was a pretty woman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDamn you, why you bring Veronica back home?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked up, she saw a pretty woman. Her white face looked mono.<\/p>\n<p>She was indeed pretty but seemed soulless.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandpa, Joseph\u2019s younger sister has to attend his wedding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandpa, I want to attend my brother\u2019s wedding,\u201d Veronica said softly.<\/p>\n<p>She sat on the wheelchair, her sight slowly rested on Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs she sister-in-law?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy walked forward, introduced herself, \u201cHi, I\u2019m Kathy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVeronica.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDad, don\u2019t you have important thing to discuss with grandpa? Sister-in-law, can you accompany me to go for a stroll? I haven\u2019t been back to this old house for many years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy pushed Veronica with her wheelchair out. As a woman, Kathy was fascinated by Veronica\u2019s pretty face too.<\/p>\n<p>Her face was so white that could not even find a flaw on it. Her short hair was wine red in colour, looked simple yet catchy and revealed a sense of gentleness.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, she seemed motionless.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s stay here,\u201d Kathy sat down when passed by a summerhouse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hear that you have a flash marriage with my brother. He is a cautious man, I never expect him to treat his marriage perfunctorily,\u201d Veronica said.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy frowned, perfunctorily?<\/p>\n<p>She smiled sarcastically, if he was not serious about their marriage, why would he treat her so nice?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-935","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/935","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=935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
