Perhaps because of the pain, or perhaps because of the lack of strength, Kathy didn’t stand up.
She bit her lip and dropped her eyes because she didn’t want to betray one's weakness in front of
Joseph.
Half a day later, Joseph finally sighed and picked her up from behind.
Kathy remained motionless for a long time before she said in a dumb voice, "I will break up with him."
This is what she thought all along, that she was not good enough for Jaydon.
Joseph, as if he hadn't heard, just carried her back to bed, put on a robe and went out on the balcony.
The spring temperature is already a bit stifling, and the sound of robins cannot be heard in the big city
with its tall buildings.
He slowly lit the cigarette at his fingertips and took a deep puff.
The fresh smell of smoke lingered repeatedly between the nostrils until it penetrated from the throat
into the viscera.
He would like to look back, but between them, in addition to a clear glass, there was a long, long
distance between them.
No longer able to turn back.
Standing at the highest point, the dazzling night scenery can easily be printed into the eyes, as if
everything is under their control, including - Kathy.
But he did not feel a little bit of pleasure, not at all.
He thought of the days after their marriage three years ago, and even after the divorce, when they were
intimate and entwined and much happier than they were now.
After a cigarette gradually burned to the end, he finally turned around and pushed open the door,
directly changed into a shirt and left the apartment.
Kathy was a little surprised that even at such a desperate time she could still fall asleep and get up at
seven o'clock on time to see her mother and then go to work at Booth Group.
Alberta was waiting for her early and couldn't hide her joy when she saw Kathy, "You know what? A
company with a lot of money has given us an investment, the only requirement is that you continue to
sit as president and run Booth Group, when those shareholders heard the news just now, their faces
were really wonderful."
Kathy, however, faintly froze and calmly said, "Show me the information of that investment company."
She suddenly remembered Joseph's words last night, could it be him?
When a man is good to a woman, he really takes good care of everything.
Sure enough, when Alberta handed over the company's information, Kathy found out that the legal
person behind it was Joseph.
She was not in a very good mood, but it had come to this, she would accept it.
"You go and approach the other company, the suspension project can be started one after another."
Alberta answered and went out, Kathy leaned back in her chair, but did not stretch her brow for a long
time.
Joseph, Joseph ......
She murmured this name which made her love and hate...
The next few days, Kathy did not see Joseph again, but she still went back to his apartment every day,
but she felt a lot more relaxed without seeing him.
On the weekend, Kathy was still working late at Booth Group when her secretary suddenly came in to
report that someone was looking for her.
It was Jaydon who came to see her with a big suitcase.
He had obviously just got off the plane, and he looked tired.
But when he saw Kathy, he opened his lips and smiled warmly.
As soon as they met, he immediately reached over and probed her forehead, asking worriedly, "Are
you sick, why did you hang up the phone the other day?"
Kathy subconsciously took a half step back, and his hand was hanging in mid-air, somewhat
awkwardly.
Kathy lowered her head, deliberately not looking at Jaydon's expression, and said in a light voice,
"Sorry, I was too tired that night, I'm not sick."
She was wearing a pure white sleeveless blouse today that set off her pointed jaw and snow-white
skin.
Jaydon's gaze paused at her neck for a long time, and his eyes gradually sank.
No one said anything for a while, Kathy touched her neck unnaturally, the hickeys left by that nasty
man were so deep that they were still visible for days.
She said in a low voice, "Jaydon, let's not see each other again."
Jaydon, however, smiled, his face looking even more calm and gentle, "Why?"
"We are not suitable to be with each other."
"Not suitable?" Jaydon obviously just didn't believe it and just looked at her soberly, "Kathy, tell me
what's going on?"
Kathy was still smiling, but her eyes were in a trance.
After a long time, she spoke in a very low tone, "You know very well that I was never the right person to
be Mrs. Young, never."
There would be a better woman by his side.
But not her.
Kathy turned around and immediately ran out of the office, she walked very fast, as if one more second
slower, it would be really hard for her to restrain her emotions.
At this time, the brilliant sunlight is projected from the floor-to-ceiling windows, Jaydon standing on one
side, the shadow is drawn long.
When he looked up, he couldn't see Kathy anymore.
The rest of Kathy's life was uninteresting.
Things were looking up for the Booth Group, but she hadn't forgotten that Reece still had her mother's
hand on her, which was like a bomb ready to explode, making her constantly on guard.
She stayed at Joseph's apartment every day, sometimes Joseph would come back, and sometimes, he
would go back to City N. But there was no other woman in him.
But on him, there was no smell of other women, and Kathy rarely saw that he and Zofia would talk on
the phone, as if the two were not in any kind of intimate relationship.
But Kathy only thought it was Joseph's way of leaving her the last shred of dignity.
Occasionally, when she was free, she would sit by the window and look at the busy but still strange city,
remembering when they used to love each other so much that she wished she could see him every
second of every day.
And now, she has become fearful of seeing him, even fearful to the point that she becomes fidgety
when she knows half a day in advance that he is coming back.
Such days are long and torturous for her.
Late into the night, Kathy sat up, put on a coat and walked to the living room.
There were no lights on in the apartment, so she took a cup of hot water and sat quietly on the sofa,
staring.
In the past, she hated the darkness, so she had to turn on a light even when she was sleeping.
But these three years, she liked to hide in the dark and her breathing became slow. In this way, no one
will find her.
The recent dawn was very early. The warm water in Kathy's hands had been cold and she was ready to
go back to the bedroom, but when she looked up, a long figure stood by the door, his gaze fell on her.
The two were silent for a long, long time.
