“Why my great-grandson was not born yet?” Mathew showed no expression on his face intentionally.
Kathy lowered her head, her face was flushed.
“Grandpa, Joseph and I haven’t planned for that yet,” Kathy said it out after a fashion.
Mathew frowned, he was slightly discontented.
“I don’t want to force both of you. 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,” Mathew
said earnestly.
Joseph family.
Joseph was indeed giving her the greatest support.
Kathy felt slightly warm.
Joseph arrived a bit late. Just then, Diego came back too.
Joseph showed his sullen face instantly.
When they were dining, Kathy sat beside Joseph whereas Diego sat opposite to Joseph.
But he never looked at his father.
Diego did not mention Joseph at all when he chatted with Mathew.
Kathy lowered her head, she felt uneasy in this awkward atmosphere.
After dining, Joseph was called by grandpa to the study room. Kathy felt bored and went for a stroll in
the garden.
When she just passed by the rockery, Joseph’s voice was heard.
Kathy stopped walking instinctively.
“Why do you come here? I have asked you to stay in the hotel!”
“I miss you so much. When are you going to announce our relationship to the public?”
“It’s not the right timing now. I miss you too, my dear….”
“You’re bad…Please don’t…”
Kathy was flushed, she did not expect to encounter this kind of situation. She turned and walked away.
However, she accidentally stepped on the rubble on the ground.
Diego turned his head incisively and asked instantly, “Who is that?”
Kathy was frozen. She quickly walked non-stop towards the bungalow.
Diego wanted to chase after her but blocked by a woman, “Don’t you say your father and your son are
in the study room now? She might be the maid.”
“Hum, baby, let’s continue——”
The disgusting voice made Kathy shiver and she banged into a stiff chest. Joseph hugged her firmly.
Kathy was stunned. She was relieved then when she smelled the recognized odour.
Joseph squinted his eyes coldly. Even if he had not gone there, he knew what was going on.
“Let’s go back,” he held Kathy’s hand.
Kathy nodded. Diego was in his fifties, but the woman’s appearance, figure and voice were barely
twenty.
“Are you afraid?” Joseph asked Kathy attentively as she kept silent all the time.
“No,” Kathy shook her head.
Joseph held her head, his lips touched her forehead, “Diego is fond of sex life, don’t get closer to him.”
“I have understood,” Kathy hugged Joseph first to console him as well as herself.
She suddenly realized of what kind of family was Joseph born in.
…
Three days later, Kathy received the admission letter from Ocean University.
She sat in front of the computer, read the email carefully to make sure that it was true.
Her smile began to plaster on her face. She told Joseph the good news immediately.
It did not seem to surprise Joseph, he smiled, “Congratulations, Mrs. Joseph.”
“Wow, I get good comment from Mr Watson. I have to work harder as I am his only postgraduate
student this year."
“I have always believed that my wife is the best.”
“Don’t praise me anymore, I think I am just lucky,” Kathy said.
Nevertheless, the person that she wanted to appreciate the most was Joseph.
It was Joseph who recommended her to Mr Watson, then the opportunity came.
“Thank you, Joseph.”
“Uh-huh, if you want to thank me, take some action.”
Kathy was flushed after listening to his words.
“I will make you a sumptuous meal tonight.”
“Hum, and then?”
“And…”
“What else?” She pretended not to know what Joseph wanted.
“Wash yourself and lie flat,” Joseph’s voice was alluring.
Kathy: …
“I go to buy ingredients, don’t want to chat nonsense with you anymore,” Kathy said shyly.
“I will come back in the noon.”
After hanging up the phone, Joseph’s phone rang, it was grandpa’s call.
“Don’t you let Edith come back?” Mathew said with discontent.
“Yup,” Joseph answered indifferently.
“I can feel how she treats you. But she is married now, Joseph, you don’t have to do so.”
Recently, Edith complained to him about Joseph’s harsh behaviour, she could not come back to City N
anymore.
Mathew cared about her and pitied her.
“Grandpa, she hurts Mrs. Joseph, she is indeed upsetting me.”
“What happens?” Mathew became nervous.
“Grandpa, you don’t have to care so much, she stays nicely with Conor,” Joseph did not say much.
It was easy for Mathew to investigate the incident if he wanted, but Joseph had dominant power in City
N, he could not do much.
In the afternoon, Joseph called Kathy.
Their wedding preparation was in progress. But for now, both of the families should arrange a good
timing to meet each other.
Kathy had come out with the idea before, but grandpa had not come back yet, so it had been put aside.
“Joseph has told me about your background. I sympathise with you, my girl,” Mathew said.
“Grandpa, the past is not tough for me. It doesn’t matter,” Kathy smiled.
Kathy stayed along with Angela since young. Although they were not wealthy, they have a simple and
happy live.
However, in the Booth family, she had to deal with a lot of complicated people. So, she felt depressed.
“It’s better for you to think that way. But, there is some relationship between the Booth family and the
Hilton family, right?” Mathew frowned.
“My mother is married to the Hilton family.”
Mathew darkened his face.
Kathy had noticed that but did not say much.
Just then, she heard a familiar voice coming from the door, it was Diego .
Together with him, there was a pretty woman.
“Damn you, why you bring Veronica back home?”
Kathy looked up, she saw a pretty woman. Her white face looked mono.
She was indeed pretty but seemed soulless.
“Grandpa, Joseph’s younger sister has to attend his wedding.”
“Grandpa, I want to attend my brother’s wedding,” Veronica said softly.
She sat on the wheelchair, her sight slowly rested on Kathy.
“Is she sister-in-law?”
Kathy walked forward, introduced herself, “Hi, I’m Kathy.”
“Veronica.”
“Dad, don’t you have important thing to discuss with grandpa? Sister-in-law, can you accompany me to
go for a stroll? I haven’t been back to this old house for many years.”
Kathy pushed Veronica with her wheelchair out. As a woman, Kathy was fascinated by Veronica’s
pretty face too.
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.
Unfortunately, she seemed motionless.
“Let’s stay here,” Kathy sat down when passed by a summerhouse.
“I hear that you have a flash marriage with my brother. He is a cautious man, I never expect him to treat
his marriage perfunctorily,” Veronica said.
Kathy frowned, perfunctorily?
She smiled sarcastically, if he was not serious about their marriage, why would he treat her so nice?
