"Mom, there are dormitories in the hospital. It's more convenient for me to go to work."
Jennifer frowned, showing a look of disapproval.
She finally found her daughter, so she wanted Kathy to be by her side.
Moreover, Kathy was alone. So, how could Jennifer be at ease?
"Promise mom that you'll date with other men."
...
Kathy had a sense of helplessness. In her eyes, all other men were inferior to Joseph.
None was him.
"These are the few men from established families that Mom chooses for you. Are you satisfied with
them?" After saying that, Jennifer handed over the tablet. They were all life photos that hadn't been
greatly photographed.
Kathy frowned. But in order to move out, she took it over.
They didn't look bad, and some were quite handsome.
However, Kathy was not interested.
She had no feelings for the people in these photos.
"Pick one first. Mom will arrange a date for you," Jennifer said eagerly.
Actually, Jennifer hoped that someone could take care of Kathy. Kathy always put all her mind into her
work and didn't have any private life. Jennifer felt sorry for what Kathy was experiencing.
"This one." Actually, Kathy did not take a serious look and casually pointed at one.
"Alright, I'll arrange you to meet this weekend," Jennifer said with satisfaction.
Kathy pursed her lips and didn't take it to heart. She had been on blind dates in the past, so she could
be considered to be experienced.
However, her identity was now very different, and she shouldn't have encountered weirdos like before.
Blind dates reminded Kathy of Joseph. Although she and Joseph did not know each other through blind
dates, they knew each other while she was on a date.
Kathy couldn't help but put on a smile when she thought of the scene of their meeting. But she quickly
restrained her expression.
She promised herself that she wouldn't miss him.
'Kathy, you can't think about him anymore....'
Just as she left the house, Kathy received a phone call.
This number was very familiar, and she had never forgotten it.
However, why would Joseph call her?
She didn't want to answer it, but somehow, she pressed the call button.
"Hello."
"I've booked a table at Westlife Hotel this afternoon. If you want to sign the agreement, come over and
have a meal with me."
"Just eating?" Kathy asked suspiciously.
"Do you have any other thoughts?" Joseph replied in a teasing tone.
Kathy pursed her lips. She didn't have any other thoughts, but Joseph might have.
"I'm on my way." After that, Kathy quickly turned the car around.
As she arrived at the restaurant, the manager personally came out to welcome her. Presumably,
Joseph arranged it.
In the distance, his back was leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window. Watching his straight back,
Kathy frowned.
Gritting her teeth, she walked over.
Joseph had already ordered a full table of dishes. But none was to Kathy's liking. Instead, they were
what she hated or what she was allergic to.
She covered her nose and sat down stiffly.
"Mr Joseph."
"Well, sit down."
Joseph didn't look at her. He was already eating elegantly.
Kathy did not plan to eat, so she took out the agreement.
Joseph watched her movements and said coldly, "Let's eat first."
Kathy frowned and tried to find a dish that she did not dislike, but ... she could not find it.
She hated all the food presented.
After a while, she picked up a piece of shrimp and chewed it slowly.
But it was mixed with the smell of spinach, which was what she hated the most.
However, Joseph was no longer like the one in the past. Kathy did not spit it out in front of him and
forced herself to swallow it.
The meal was torture for Kathy. Although she ate very little, she felt miserable.
Joseph understood her taste too well. He deliberately tortured her.
Kathy looked down, the disappointment in her eyes spreading.
"Can we sign the agreement now, Mr Joseph?" Kathy put down her chopsticks and looked at him
coldly.
Joseph shifted his gaze up to Kathy's neck. A rash had already appeared. She was allergic.
He gripped his chopsticks tightly and quickly moved his gaze away.
Without taking the agreement, he gracefully picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth. "Let's go to the
hospital," he said in a low voice.
"What?" Kathy didn't understand what Joseph meant.
"You're allergic," he explained indifferently.
Actually, Kathy already felt something was wrong. She just wanted to maintain her calmness in front of
Joseph, but she seemed to be itching all over.
"I will go to the hospital myself later. Please sign the agreement first so that I can account for the trip."
Kathy still stubbornly handed over the document.
With a serious look, Joseph did not take it.
"Follow me to the hospital." His tone sounded so authoritative.
Kathy looked at him and took a deep breath. She couldn't help but lose her temper. "Joseph, have you
been enough? You said that you would sign the agreement if I dined with you!"
Now he wanted her to go to the hospital with him? God knew what kind of tricks Joseph was playing on
her?
Did he really have to do so....
"I didn't say I wouldn't sign it. Kathy, you know, I like obedient women. Now go to the hospital."
After saying that, he walked ahead.
Kathy followed him angrily. There was a black car parked outside and she did not want to get on.
Joseph was at one side, but she sat next to the car door. They were about a meter away from each
other.
Kathy itched so much that she couldn't help but scratch. But the next second, Joseph reached out his
hand and grabbed her wrist.
"Don't move." His voice was deep.
Kathy ignored him. She really couldn't stand it.
However, in the next second, before Kathy lifted the other hand, it had already been gripped by Joseph
again.
She was completely held in his arms
The familiar aura close at hand made her eyes slightly wet, but she bit her lips tightly and held tears
back.
She wanted to push Joseph away, but her strength was simply not comparable to his.
"Joseph, let me go!" Kathy said angrily. Her hand was held, so she lifted her foot.
Joseph's face darkened, and he allowed Kathy to kick. He only tightly clasped her wrist to prevent her
from scratching her skin.
They were stuck in a stalemate. In the end, Kathy got exhausted, so she could only lean against
Joseph's arms
She had missed this embrace for so many years, but now, there was only resistance left.
She found Joseph was strange now, and he had always been against her.
"Joseph, if you hug me, Zofia will be jealous," Kathy said abruptly.
"She's not here right now, is she?" Joseph's voice carried a hint of mockery.
"Are you having an affair with another woman behind her back?" Kathy narrowed her eyes and
sarcastically responded.
Hearing this, Joseph still looked indifferent. "Do you think we are like in a relationship now?"
"Yes." Kathy admitted.
They were hugging each other.
"Yes." He replied emotionlessly.
Kathy felt extremely disappointed and did not say anything else. The atmosphere in the car was very
awkward until they arrived at the hospital.
