Their separation wasn’t known in City N. The only reason Alexia knew was because she called Kathy
and Kathy brought it up.
Kathy on the other hand hadn’t seen Joseph for almost half a month.
When their marriage ended, it was like their connection broke off too.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier, Kathy! This is a big deal! Divorce? Who was the crazy one? You or
Joseph?”
“None.”
Kathy then told Alexia the details of what happened.
If Joseph agreed to divorce her just to keep her safe, why didn’t he find her after that?
Did he think that their relationship should end after their divorce?
If it’s like that, did he agree to accept the reality and just let it be?
It’s only her that remained in this relationship.
Kathy couldn’t help but to laugh at herself. “Alexia, I didn’t expect that we’d really divorced.”
“Are you crying, Kathy?”
Alexia panicked when soft crying noises could be heard.
She had known Kathy for so many years, but she had never seen her cry.
Now, she’s crying because of Joseph.
Kathy sniffed a few times. For some reason, tears started to flow down her cheeks.
She thought that her relationship with Joseph would remain the same after she came back to City N,
but she was wrong.
He didn’t contact her, nor tried to find her.
She then realized, maybe, he would walk out of her life forever.
“Kathy, you should go and talk things out with him,” Alexia suggested.
She’s even worried after knowing that Kathy had not stepped out of the house recently.
“Didn’t he sign the papers…” Kathy muttered.
“That’s because he was forced to. He likes you so much, Kathy. He won’t want to divorce you,” Alexia
consoled.
However, Kathy smiled bitterly and said, “He said it himself before that he won’t like me and that he’ll
divorce me one day. And this day has come.”
“Do you really believe what he said? I saw it with my very own eyes that Joseph likes you. Get up now
and dress up. Go and find him!” Alexia commanded.
If she’s in City N right now, she would have brought Kathy to Joseph.
How could she let her best friend suffer this much!
“No, I won’t find him! I won’t!” Kathy was against this idea.
She didn’t know how to face him too. She didn’t want him to know that she’s still passionate about their
relationship.
Sometimes, she felt that divorcing was a good idea too. She wouldn’t have to dwell too much on this
relationship again.
She wouldn’t continue to like him.
But whenever she thought about that, her heart hurt so much, so much that she felt like crying.
She couldn’t control this emotion of hers.
“Kathy, go and find him right now! This is an order! Go and ask him, does he want to remarry you!”
Kathy blanked out for a second. Remarry? Was this possible?
“Alexia, if I have a chance to rewind my life, I won’t marry him.” Kathy’s logical side started to kick in
her.
Both of them were from different worlds, the gap between them was no doubt huge.
If the gap was huge, it’s better to let it stay that way.
“But you married him! This is your destiny! Do you understand! I know what you’re afraid of, but trust
me, he one hundred percent likes you! You guys are a match made in heaven!”
“...”
“Kathy, if you don’t go and find him today, then you don’t think me as your friend. Think this through
okay?”
Alexia hung up after she said.
Kathy looked at herself in the mirror for a while before opening her makeup pouch.
She started to put on makeup as Alexia’s words echoed through her mind.
Two hours later, she’s now standing at the gates of Joseph Bay.
It’s the weekends. Would he be at home right now?
She opened the door as she thought.
The surroundings came into her sight. Nothing had changed.
The maid would come to clean the house every day, so the place looked clean.
However, the presence of Joseph could not be felt.
He’s not here.
Disappointment started to arise in her heart. She walked into the bedroom and laid down on the bed,
trying to imagine his presence.
But then, there’s nothing.
He had not come back for a long period of time.
She closed her eyes and somehow drifted to sleep.
It went on until she heard footsteps. A familiar shadow stepped into the room.
His shiny black eyes stared at the woman on the bed. The thought of pampering and hugging her
crossed his mind, but he was quick to hide that away.
Step by step he walked towards the bed and stopped at her side.
Kathy had heard of the footsteps. She just didn’t want to open her eyes.
A hand suddenly hugged her waist, shocking her. She opened her eyes and was immediately met with
Joseph’s.
He had changed, but at the same time, it looked like he hadn’t changed at all.
He still had that mesmerizing eyes and perfect features. Every part of his body was God’s work.
Her heartbeat was racing.
“Kathy, why did you not tell me that you had come back?” Joseph started the conversation.
She clearly heard that he called her Kathy, not Mrs. Joseph.
“I’m back to take some stuff.” She turned around quickly to hide her disappointment.
She reached out her hand to take her bag. However, she didn’t know what to take from this house.
Joseph bought everything in this house. Even her branded clothes was arranged by Joseph to be
delivered to here. It just felt like nothing here belonged to her.
It belonged to the future Mrs. Joseph.
Kathy smiled slightly and took a powerbank on the table.
“Is this powerbank that important?” Joseph raised his eyebrows as he observed her.
Kathy bit her lips. “Yes, very important.”
She tried to walk past him to leave.
But she was stopped by him.
She dared not to have eye contact with him.
She couldn’t understand his deep stare towards her.
“Did you come back to find me?” Joseph exposed her intentions.
“You’re over-thinking.” Kathy tried to push him away.
Instead, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
He still smelled the same.
The smell that she was infatuated with.
Kathy took a deep breath. It was only after a while that she started to struggle.
By then, Joseph already pinched her jaw and pushed her against the wall, cornering her.
“Mr. Joseph, let me go!”
“Mr. Joseph?” His voice turned cold, as if he was not satisfied with the nickname.
He applied pressure on her chin, making Kathy teared from the pain.
She looked away, avoiding eye contact with him.
However, Joseph didn’t allow her to do so and forced her to look at him.
“Mrs. Joseph, can you say it one more time? Who am I?” Underneath his voice laid a deep and
dangerous tone.
Her face turned pale instantly. He…
She smiled slightly, “Did you forget, Mr. Joseph? We already divorced.”
