The morning passed; Mathew just finished his physical examination, and the report would not be ready
until a few days after.
Kathy did not have classes today, so Mathew asked her to have lunch over at the old house.
"Grandpa, I'm heading back to school." Kathy subconsciously looked at Joseph.
"I'll send you back tonight." He said as he brought Kathy to the car, so that she could not refuse.
Mathew covered his smile with his hand; he was relieved to see his grandson and Kathy getting along
intimately.
In Joseph’s residence.
With Kathy’s presence, the old house became quite lively.
The servants already finished preparing dinner, including many of Kathy’s favorite dishes.
"Kathy, sit next to Grandpa; and Joseph, you guy sit there." Mathew seemed quite friendly whenever
Kathy was around.
Seeing them behave like this made Veronica feel jealous.
"Grandpa, can I sit here?"
"Of course you can."
"She’s no longer your granddaughter-in-law." Veronica reminded.
"Who says? There’s still a chance." Mathew found recently, Joseph and Kathy were quite close!
Something good was bound to happen!
Veronica stuck out her tongue and did not take the matter seriously.
At the dinner table, Joseph and Mathew would inevitable talk about family matters.
Kathy learnt that Julian was in Country N, and Diego and Nell were at Country C, but Mathew still told
Joseph to keep an eye on Julian and Diego.
After the meal, Mathew called Kathy to the study, and left Joseph out.
"Grandpa, do you want to tell me something?" Kathy looked at Grandpa confusedly.
"Kathy, I know that you were forced to divorce Joseph; I’m very sorry about that. I hope you can give
that kid another chance." Mathew said sincerely.
He could tell that, only with Kathy by his side was Joseph a better man with feelings.
For so many years, Mathew looked on as Joseph always seemed to be wearing a mask, hiding away
his true self, which made him feel very distressed!
But Kathy was the only one who can change Joseph.
...
It was late at night as Kathy came out of the study.
In the kitchen, Joseph’s figure came into view; he was busy working.
"I should head back now." Kathy said behind him.
"Stay tonight, I'll take you to school tomorrow morning."
Kathy frowned; it was pretty late, but staying the night... didn’t seem appropriate.
Seeing her hesitate, Joseph's long arms suddenly hugged her, and he said in a low-pitched voice next
to her ear, "Do you really want to go back?"
Kathy bit her lip; she didn’t really want to...
But…
"Here, everyone treats you as Mrs. Joseph." Joseph said.
Kathy was rendered speechless.
"I'm not."
"Kathy, I will make you want to marry me again, out of your own willingness."
These words made Kathy froze in place... was it still possible?
Joseph knew that she didn't have much time.
Subconsciously, she pushed Joseph away.
Desserts that Joseph just finished making were placed on the table.
Kathy tasted them in silence; she didn't like anything too sweet, but Joseph's was just right.
Joseph also brought dessert to his sister upstairs.
"Hmph, I didn’t know you know how to make this." Veronica said in a bit of amazement.
She always felt that her brother treated her well, but making desserts? This was something she didn’t
know he knew how to do.
"There are many things you don't know." Joseph said as he smirked.
"Looks like I only get to eat this dessert because of Kathy."
"Good that you know."
Veronica was speechless.
"Hmph, you care more about an outsider over your very own sister!" Veronica protested, but she was
not actually angry.
"Did you go back to Joseph Bay recently?" Veronica asked.
It’s been several days since Joseph has returned to sleep.
Joseph frowned, "I’ve been quite busy at the hospital."
"Shouldn’t you be at the Joseph Group?"
"I took care of some private matters, nothing work related."
"Must be related to Kathy." Veronica knew it well.
"It’s late, get some rest."
Heading back downstairs, Kathy had already finished eating dessert, and was washing dishes in the
kitchen.
Joseph walked over and cleaned up her hands.
His actions were gentle and patient, and his eyes were filled with affection.
Kathy rested in his arms, turned her head, and kissed his stubbles.
What happened next was beyond her control; he suddenly lifted her and carried her over to the table,
his hands... were still filled with soap.
"You... Wash your hands!" Kathy glared at him.
Right now, the positions of these two was a bit dangerous...
They could be seen by someone at any time...
"You just want me to wash them?" Joseph raised his eyebrows, and his thin lips smiled in a flirtatious
manner.
Kathy blushed, and she pushed away his chest, "I didn't mean it that way, let go!"
Kathy was angry, she swung her legs around and kicked Joseph.
In retaliation, he caught her legs.
Suddenly, she was now even closer to him.
"Joseph!"
"Hold on, I’ll take you up to the room." Joseph was only teasing her, but watching Kathy' struggling in
embarrassment delighted him.
Kathy jumped down, and kept her distance away from him.
Joseph took her up to the room, which still looked the same way it did when they got married; Joseph
usually stayed here.
"Are there no guest rooms?" Kathy asked nervously.
"No."
"I don't believe you, I'll go sleep in the guest room." Kathy said determinedly.
To stay in the same room with Joseph... was too dangerous...
But before she could head out, Joseph clutched her in his arms.
As he pinched her chin, his eyes lit up, "Kathy, you can’t come or leave my room as you wish."
His eyes gradually became menacingly dangerous.
Kathy trembled, and in that split moment, Joseph picked her up. He was bringing her to the bathroom.
"I don’t have any clothes here." Kathy remembered.
"There are." Joseph said affirmatively.
After he placed the pajamas, Joseph helped shut the door.
Kathy was still quite familiar with this place.
Kathy's face sank as she picked up the pajamas. The style…
The lacing and fabric were so thin that they were almost nonexistent...
She recalled buying this when she went shopping with Alexia... but she never dared to wear it.
Joseph must be doing this on purpose, right?
As she thought of this, Kathy felt a bit uneasy, but she could only wear this first and change into
something else later.
She also wrapped a towel around her body.
She came out the bathroom nervously, and saw Joseph sitting on the sofa at work, with a laptop before
him.
As soon as he raised his eyes, his gaze was fixed on Kathy's fine body, and he couldn't look away.
She was not too thin, but she had a full figure. The pure black lace pajamas made her skin appear
especially white and glimmering. Her wet hair was scattered down to partly cover her shoulders, which
made her appear especially enticing.
Joseph's eyes grew wider and wider, and eventually a fire sparked inside him.
