"There are a lot of things that aren't as easy as you think, Mrs Joseph. I know you're worried about
Alexia, but can you stop her from having no contact with Johnson?" Joseph was straightforward.
Kathy pursed her lips, and as long as Alexia had this in mind, it was useless for her to stop it.
She didn't want Alexia to make the same mistake.
It had been a week since the wedding ended, and Kathy hadn't been idle, she had accompanied Zack
almost every day.
Recently, her grandfather had been ill, and he planned to go overseas for treatment and bring Kathy
along. Still, initially, Zack had only returned because of Kathy, and now that the wedding was over,
everything was at ease.
Kathy was very reluctant to leave her grandpa, she felt grandpa's love. Moreover, the doctor had
already said that grandpa might only have six months to live, she wanted to spend more time with him.
It was just that if she went abroad with her grandfather, then she and Joseph would not be able to see
each other for a while.
"Kathy, what do you think, tell Mom, want to go back to Country B with us? You haven't started school
yet, so stay there for a month or two to keep Grandpa company." Jennifer spoke emphatically.
Jennifer usually had to take care of the Booth Group's business, and she was afraid she couldn't keep
watch over Zack.
Kathy hesitated, it was true that she was free during this time. She wouldn't have time to accompany
grandpa when school starts.
"Mom, I'll think about it."
"Well, I know you will miss Joseph, but Grandpa doesn't have much time left, he's been alone all these
years, I just don't want these last days to be the same..." Jennifer's tears gradually fell.
"Mom." Kathy hugged Jennifer, and she felt sad.
It would be three months…
After her marriage, she hadn't been apart from Joseph for such a long time.
In the evening at the Joseph Group, John went into the president office and reported, "President
Joseph, the culprit who robbed DF Jewelry a week ago was taken to the hospital yesterday and passed
away from a fatal illness."
Upon hearing that, Joseph's expression got serious, "Did you find out his background?"
"His relatives were already made to leave the country, but there was an unspecified large sum of
money in his account before his death. The origin of the money can't be tracked."
"I just want results," Joseph ordered.
John bowed, "noted."
It was already an hour after driving over to the Booth family's mansion, and Joseph waited outside
without going in.
Kathy came out, knowing that he hadn't eaten, so she invited Joseph to come in and eat something.
"I'd like to go home and have Mrs Kathy cook me dinner, eh?" Joseph asked in a low voice.
Kathy paused, and worriedly asked, "Sure, but aren't you hungry now?"
Joseph shook his head, and only then did Kathy get into the car.
Grandpa would go back to Country B the day after tomorrow, and Jennifer asked Kathy to give her an
answer tomorrow.
In fact, she had already made up her mind.
She just wanted Joseph's approval.
"What do you want to say?" Sensing Kathy's desire to say something, Joseph held her hand.
Kathy pursed her lips and hesitated before talking, "Grandfather is going back to Country B. I want to
go over there to keep him company before school starts."
As expected, Joseph's face turned pale.
Kathy bit her lip and looked out of the window.
The next second, a sudden brake sent her whole body crashing forward.
Joseph's arm steadily held her at bay.
"Joseph..."
"How long do you need to go?" He stopped the car.
"Three months."
Joseph turned his head, his eyes were blazing, and the look in his eyes was terrifying.
Kathy shuddered.
Would he miss her?
Didn't he dislike her?
If that was the case, it didn't matter if she wasn't around.
That was what Kathy thought.
"Joseph, Grandpa doesn't have much time left, I want to spend more time with him. I hope you
understand. I'll be back after three months, too."
She didn't dare to think about how she was going to live without Joseph by her side for three months.
She would really miss him.
Joseph pursed his thin lips coldly and did not speak for a long time.
"Well, I can understand that." It was a long while before Kathy heard his voice.
"When are you going over."
"The day after tomorrow."
After that, neither of them spoke a word the whole way back to Joseph Bay.
Kathy went home to make noodles for Joseph, only to be distracted. The soup boiled out and burned
her hands.
"Ah!" She screamed and immediately turned off the fire.
Her fingertips were already red.
The sound of footsteps came, and Joseph's hand had taken her fingers and placed them over his
mouth, blowing gently.
Kathy raised her eyes and looked at Joseph's handsome face close at hand, and her eyelashes
quivered.
She withdrew her hand.
But Joseph grabbed her hand again, "Apply medication first. I'll cook it later."
Knowing that Joseph had always been dominant, Kathy didn't argue and obediently sat on the sofa for
him to apply medication.
Turning her head to look at Joseph's back, the smile on her lips gradually appeared.
A short while later, she walked into the kitchen and hugged Joseph from behind.
"Joseph, I can't bear to leave you." She muttered.
"Well? So how dare you leave me?" Joseph raised her eyebrows and turned to lift her chin.
Kathy grieves, "But, family is important too."
"I'm not stopping you, but Mrs Joseph, without me by your side, I'll be worried." Joseph looked at her
intensely, the emotions in his eyes were practically overflowing.
However, Kathy couldn't understand the look on his face
He was always so complicated she couldn't guess what he was thinking.
"I'll be back soon."
"Joseph, will you also be reluctant to leave me?" Kathy looked up at him, not blinking.
Even if he wouldn't miss her, then at least, he had a little bit of affection for her.
"Of course, I will."
With that, he lowered his head and kissed her without hesitation.
Kathy was busy pushing him away, her attention was on the noodles.
"It will hurt again!" She reminded.
"Well, I'll feed you when I'm done eating." Joseph bit his thin lips.
Kathy's cheeks were bursting red, "you're so bad..."
…
Three days later, Kathy boarded the flight to Country B.
She was a day late because of school matters, and her grandfather and mother had already been there
the day before.
After talking to Joseph on the phone, Kathy turned off her phone.
At that moment, a shadow appeared, and a familiar voice sounded overhead, "Miss Kathy."
Kathy frowned and lifted her head, Bertie Marshall's handsome face imprinted into her eyes.
The smile on her face disappeared.
She didn't expect Bertie to be on the same flight as her, and he was even seated next to her.
"It seems like we are fated to meet." Bertie quirked.
"We just met by chance." Kathy was indifferent.
"Why are you going to Country B?" Bertie asked.
"Nothing to do with you."
"Let me guess." Bertie stroked his chin, and his gaze settled on Kathy's face. The more he looked at
her angry little face, the more he liked her.
"You're going back to the Booth Family?"
"Bertie, I don't think we're close enough to talk about personal matters." Kathy put on her blindfold and
ignored him.
"Kathy, you can't possibly ignore me, you will inevitably have to see me in Country B." Bertie teased.
Kathy took him for nonsense, but when she got off the plane and went over to the Booth family, Bertie
was always around. That was when she believed what he said.
