On hearing, Joseph’s eyes suddenly turned cold, grabbed the back of Kathy’s head, and kissed her
passionately.
Kathy was stunned with her eyes wide open and immediately pushed him away but she was too slow.
She couldn’t escape from his overbearing actions.
She practically became the prey in his arms and could only submit.
“Mmph!”
The next moment, Joseph backed away as the pain on his tongue radiated. She actually bit him!
Kathy wiped her lips vigorously and looked furiously at Joseph, “Don’t you touch me, Joseph, don’t
forget that we’ve divorced.”
She reminded him again that they had divorced.
Fine, excellent!
The man’s ruthlessness reared its head, and when Kathy was about to leave, he forcibly grabbed her
wrist and threw her violently onto the bed.
Kathy stared with her eyes wide open and saw Joseph getting nearer as her heartbeat pound even
faster.
She was too familiar with this expression of his.
“Joseph, you agreed to divorce. What’s the meaning of your actions!” Kathy glared at him and said
furiously.
What did he take her for?
He had not contacted her since their divorce, so why was he doing this now?
She didn’t understand.
On listening, the man’s expression changed and he started to grin. He said with a deep voice, “Wasn’t
the divorce according to your wishes?”
Kathy was stunned for a moment before she understood what Joseph meant.
“Yes, it was my wish.” She said but she didn’t mean it.
“Okay, Ms. Kathy, congratulations.” Joseph backed off coldly.
Joseph didn’t stay and left quickly.
She was the only one remaining in the huge house.
Joseph’s presence lingered on in the air.
Congratulations.
His words reverberated in her ears as Kathy laughed sarcastically.
So that was how he felt.
She simply packed some items that she needed and she placed the keys on the table before she left.
She placed the wedding ring given by Joseph next to the keys. Most likely she will never be back in the
future.
…
A black Cayenne parked under the shadows of some trees.
The man was looking at Kathy’s slim back view and was conflicted for some time.
After a while, he pushed open the door and went to Joseph Bay.
He looked at the keys and ring on the table. He picked them up and held them tightly in his hand.
Back at AN road, Kathy realized that she had several missed calls. They were from Jennifer.
A moment later, the phone rang again and she answered.
“Mrs. Booth.”
“Kathy, your grandfather had been admitted to the hospital. They almost couldn’t resuscitate him just
now. According to the doctor, it is unlikely he lives past this month in his current condition.” Jennifer
sobbed as she said.
Kathy frowned. She was still worried about her grandfather but when she thought about what he had
done to her, she still can’t bring herself to forgive him.
“Mrs. Booth, please take good care of him.” Kathy’s tone was cold and calm.
“Come and visit grandfather. He misses you. Kathy, he is your grandfather.” Jennifer was pleading with
her.
Kathy pursed her lips, hardened her heart, and hung up the call.
After a while, Bertie called.
Kathy knew that this must be due to her grandfather’s condition and she simply turned off her phone.
Except that she still felt concerned for her grandfather.
That night, she bought an air ticket to go to B country.
She didn’t know which hospital her grandfather was in and she went to the hotel before turning on her
phone.
Alexia called soon after.
“Why are you back in B country? I’m already back in B country, where are you?” Alexia asked out of
concern. She went overseas with her family for a vacation just as Kathy went to B country the last time.
“I’m at…” Kathy told her the hotel’s address.
Alexia rushed over in a hurry as they had not seen each other for a long time.
“Just look at how thin you are my precious!” Alexia pinched Kathy’s withered cheeks as her heart
ached.
True enough, a person will become haggard when she was heartbroken.
“How can it be? My bodyweight hasn’t decreased.”
“Okay, tell me, did you look for Joseph?”
Just now Alexia didn’t ask anything on the phone since she knew that Kathy had arrived.
“I saw Joseph but nothing happened. Everyone accepted the reality of the divorce.” Kathy thought
about Joseph’s attitude earlier that day and although they had some intimate encounters, that didn’t
prove anything. In the end, he left anyway, and from that moment forward, she had to accept the reality.
“What? Kathy, I’m going crazy. The booth family wants you to divorce and you really divorced!” Alexia
obviously couldn’t accept this fact.
“You should know that I resisted but it still happened in the end.”
“Then re-marry!” Alexia said furiously.
When Kathy heard this, she frowned. She didn’t consider carefully when she got married to Joseph the
first time. If there was another chance, she would be far more careful.
She will not stumble into a pit again.
“Even when my body couldn’t take it anymore, my only thoughts at that time was, I would not divorce
even if I die.”
Kathy smiled, “I knew clearly then that I can’t leave Joseph but look at me now. I’ve emerged from it.”
When she put down her ring and left Joseph Bay, she had already sorted out her emotions.
She must learn to relax.
This marriage was partially an agreement and partially accidental. Now everything was back as it was.
“Kathy, my heart aches for you. Why did Zack insist on separating both of you?”
She knew how difficult it was for Kathy to enter into a relationship after what had happened in the past.
Now she had to experience such a traumatizing incident again.
“Grandfather wants to control my life. From the moment I returned to the Booth family, my future had
been planned for me.”
“Sure, but since you’ve successfully got into graduate school, then you should concentrate on your
studies and don’t bother about the rest.” Alexia consoled.
Kathy laughed, “That’s what I’m thinking. You should know that I still can’t forgo my ambition to become
a doctor.”
“Kathy, I will stand by you no matter what. But I really feel sorry for you and Doctor Joseph…”
“Yes, now that you’re back, aren’t you sending yourself to the slaughter?” Alexia realized and said.
“Grandfather has been admitted to the hospital. I want to visit him.”
“I knew that you have a soft heart but no matter what, he is your kin. I fully understand.”
“But I don’t know which hospital grandfather is in. I’ll have to trouble you to find out for me.”
“Wait for my news. Don’t stay at the hotel. Where are you staying? I’ll get the driver to pick you up and
send you to my place.”
“I don’t want to be a third wheel.”
“Dolman has gone on a business trip. I’m the only one at home. Are you willing to let me be alone in
the house?” Alexia said pitifully.
“Okay, but your husband seems to be on business trips very often,” Kathy said.
It seemed that each time she spoke to Alexia, Dolman was not home.
“I’m used to it. He is very busy. Kathy, come over and keep me company…”
Alexia and Dolman were staying in a townhouse in the city center. The deco was simple but it was …
too simple.
It practically just had furniture and nothing was done for the decoration.
Kathy felt uneasy when she entered.
Joseph Bay, where she previously stayed, was much cozier.
