"Zofia, stop! You can't drink now!" Kathy pushed all the wine away.
Zofia, however, insisted on going against Kathy. She rushed over to push Kathy away.
Fortunately, Joseph supported Kathy from behind. His face sank as he instructed John. "Take Miss
Marshall away."
"No, I'm not leaving ... I want to drink. I broke up with Sonny! Kathy, drink with me!" Zofia looked at
Kathy pitifully.
Kathy's heart ached even more.
She wanted to walk over, but Joseph grabbed her waist tightly. She turned to look at Joseph and found
that he had got angry.
"Let's go home." Joseph wanted to take Kathy away from here.
But she did not move. "I can't leave Zofia here."
Zofia was slumping over the counter. She felt so sad and upset that her eyes went red.
Joseph pursed his lips and looked at Kathy. He just couldn't resist her puppy dog eyes.
"What do you want to do?" Joseph tried to subdue his anger.
Kathy said nervously, "I want to bring her back to the Joseph Bay."
Zofia couldn't stay at school now.
But Joseph called Bertie immediately.
However, Bertie had returned to Country C this afternoon because of his work.
"Joseph, Zofia is my friend. I can't leave her alone." Kathy broke away from Joseph's arms.
Zofia leaned against Kathy's embrace, all wrecked. She was looking at somewhere blankly, and tears
ran down her cheeks.
Kathy hugged her and gently patted her shoulder to comfort her. "Zofia, I'll take you home. Don't cry."
In the car, Joseph sat in the passenger seat, while Kathy and Zofia sat in the back.
Joseph remained silent on the way back to Joseph Bay.
The bodyguard and Kathy helped Zofia get into the room. Joseph went to work in the study.
After feeding some tea to Zofia, Kathy made her change into comfortable pajamas and left the room.
The light in the study room was still on. Kathy knocked on the door and walked in.
Joseph sat behind the desk and looked cold.
"Zofia will stay with us for a while. Is that okay for you?" Kathy looked at Joseph. She knew that he was
angry.
However, Zofia just had an abortion. Kathy was really worried about her.
"You are the mistress of this house. It's up to you."
"I'm not," Kathy whispered.
She had divorced Joseph.
And this was Joseph's house.
"Joseph Bay is your property," Joseph suddenly said.
Kathy was surprised. It took a while for her to understand his words.
"What?"
Joseph took out the deed from the drawer and handed it to Kathy.
When did she become the owner of the house?
"No, this is your house," Kathy said in a trembling voice.
Although Joseph said that he prepared it as their house after getting married, she always thought that
Joseph was the owner because she didn't pay a penny for it.
"Kathy, this is your house. If you could marry me, it will be our home." Joseph walked over and hugged
her tightly.
Kathy's eyes were filled with tears, and she choked up a little.
She looked at her name on the deed. This house was at the best location in downtown. It was on the
upper floors and enjoyed a good view. Although the decoration was simple, it was designed by a
famous designer. And he used the best materials.
Kathy checked the price and found that she probably couldn't pay Joseph back.
But now she became a Booth and held the shares left by her grandfather. If she sold some, she might
be able to pay Joseph back.
"Kathy, you don't owe me anything. We will get married. We are partners." Joseph knew well about
Kathy.
He knew that Kathy would not take this house, so he never told her.
Kathy pouted her mouth and answered him in a muffled voice.
"Joseph, you should tell me whatever decision you make in the future." Kathy looked up at him
seriously.
"It depends." Joseph just smiled.
"What do you mean? You can't hide anything from me!" Kathy said with a stern face.
Kathy was always the last to know about anything, and she was not happy about it.
"Kathy, I'd rather you never know it if something would hurt you," Joseph said in a deep voice.
He would only be more distressed than her.
"Joseph." Kathy broke away from his arms. "I'm not a child."
"But you're always my babe." Joseph held her face and kissed her hard. He grabbed her slender waist
and pushed her to the table. They were getting hot and heavy in the room.
However, they didn't know Zofia was peeping through the door. There was hate in her eyes.
The next day, the sunlight shone on them through the window.
Kathy used to wake up early. But Joseph pressed down on her again. It was almost ten o'clock when
she got up.
She went to Zofia's room, but Zofia was not there. Then Kathy found her in the kitchen.
"Zofia." Kathy was surprised to see her making breakfast.
Zofia had never cooked before.
"You are up. Kathy, I'm so sorry that I made a mess last night," Zofia said in frustration.
"You'd better not drink so much again. Joseph and I were glad to find you yesterday." If Zofia had been
alone in the bar, Kathy didn't dare to imagine what would happen to her.
"I'm just distressed." Zofia lowered her head and sounded sorrowful.
"Can I stay with you guys for a while? I asked for a month off from school, and I don't want to go back
home."
Kathy hesitated as she remembered Joseph's cold face last night. He wouldn't agree to it.
"Just one week. Veronica has an exam. I don't want to disturb her. When she comes back, I'll go to her
place," Zofia added.
"Alright, I'll take care of you this week. You just had an abortion and you're still fragile. You must never
drink again." Kathy tried to remind Zofia again.
"I know. I'm a doctor too." Zofia smiled.
Joseph happened to come out of the room. He remained that indifferent look when he saw Zofia.
But he became much gentler as he looked at Kathy.
He walked over and hugged Kathy, as if he didn't care that there was someone else at home.
"Zofia will stay with us for a week. I want the servants to come over every day." Kathy looked at him.
Kathy wouldn't live on campus this week, either. She would return to the dormitory after Zofia got better
and moved out.
Joseph frowned and glanced at Zofia. Then his face darkened slightly.
"It's up to you."
"Joseph, Kathy, I'm sorry to disturb you." Zofia looked very guilty.
"Come on. We are friends."
After breakfast, Joseph went to the Joseph Group and Kathy was about to go to school.
And Kathy only went out after telling Zofia not to run around and rest well.
Joseph did not say anything in the car, and the atmosphere was somewhat frosty.
Kathy thought about Zofia and felt a little depressed.
"When will Zofia leave?" Joseph suddenly asked.
"In a week."
"I will get an apartment for her," Joseph said.
"But she needs someone to take care of her. I'm worried about her living alone. You see, something
bad almost happened to her last night...." Kathy said nervously.
Her voice had sunk even lower as Joseph gave her a cold gaze.
Joseph was really angry.
