It was already noon when Kathy waked up again, and Josephâs aura still lingered around her.
Did he go to the company again?
Kathy went downstairs. The servant already put her meal on the table.
âWas Joseph out?â Kathy asked.
As soon as she finished speaking, a familiar figure emerged from the second floor. It was Lincoln.
He didnât put up a gentle face when he saw Kathy.
âMrs. Joseph was a real idler.â There was a hint of irony in his words.
âWhat do you mean?â Kathy looked at him calmly.
âNothing.â Lincoln held his tongue.
He sat down on the opposite side, and the servant had apparently prepared his meal.
Kathy then concluded that Joseph didnât go out today.
At this time, Kathyâs phone buzzed. Sue texted Kathy on Wechat, inquiring after Lincolnâs whereabouts.
Kathy: He is in Joseph Bay.
Sue: Let him answer my call.
Kathy looked up at Lincolnâs gloomy face and frowned.
At the same time, Lincolnâs phone rang.
Lincoln hung up without thinking.
âSue may have something important to tell you.â Kathy said.
âShe has nothing to do with me.â Lincolnâs tone was cold.
Kathy replied to Sue that she couldnât help Sue.
Joseph didnât come downstairs for lunch. Thinking that he didnât eat anything, Kathy carried some food to him.
Joseph was in the middle of a meeting, so Kathy did not disturb him.
Backing onto the French window, Joseph dressed himself with homewear. His profile was bewitching.
Kathy was absent-minded. Her eyes were always inadvertently drawn to Joseph.
Josephâs eyes met hers. His thin lips curled up.
He then took strides with his long legs toward Kathy. Then Kathy was pressed against the sofa.
Her mind went blank. Next, before she could regain her senses, she was out of breath because of Josephâs kisses.
âOh ...â
She surrendered to Joseph, as always. Kathy submissively closed her eyes. Then she clasped Josephâs neck with hands.
However, clacks of footsteps came from afar. Lincolnâs voice sounded outside, âBuddy ...â
Kathy widened her eyes. She immediately pushed Joseph away, but it was still too late.
Joseph held Kathy in his arms. At the same time, Lincoln pushed open the door and entered.
Lincolnâs voice came to a halt when he found out what Joseph and Kathy were doing.
âFine, fine. I will leave you alone.â
âSpeak or just go.â Joseph stood up. Joseph then assumed his usual stern and composing appearances.
Kathyâs face turned red. She straightened herself up. Now she was going to leave as she thought the two men may have something to talk.
However, it struck her that Joseph didnât have his meal yet.
She couldnât help but sink her face, âJoseph, could you finish your lunch first?â
âWomen were troubles.â Lincoln said coldly.
Kathy frowned. It seemed that she did not offend him.
âYou shall leave first.â Josephâs expression sank as he immediately showed Lincoln the door.
âBuddy, you ...â
âGet out!â
The study quickly resumed silence. Lincoln slammed the door, which gave a quite big shock to Kathy.
âMr. Fletcher seems to be very dissatisfied with me.â Kathy frowned.
âNever mind!â
Kathy knitted her eyebrows. After all, being accused for no reason was not a pleasant experience.
Moreover, Lincoln and Sue seemed to be in a conflict, so it was difficult to angle some information from Sue.
âWill you go to the Josephâs Group today?â said Kathy, as she took a seat beside Joseph.
âDo you want me to go?â Joseph raised his eyes.
âYou stay at home for me, donât you?â Kathy blurted out.
However, she quickly denied this idea. She did not think that she was so much important for Joseph.
Josephâs eyes flickered with acumen. He captured Kathyâs frustration.
Joseph then pinched Kathyâs chin. Kathy had no choice but to raise her eyes.
Josephâs handsome face was so close to her that she began to be shy with a pounding heart.
She was actually looking forward to Josephâs answer.
âWhat do you think, Mrs. Joseph?â
âHow could I know that?â Kathy avoided Josephâs burning gaze.
âYes, I want to be with you.â Joseph admitted.
Kathy was baffled first, but her beaming smile was unconcealed. She looked up and kissed Joseph.
The sweet kiss was like honey, overflowing her heart.
In the afternoon, Joseph did his work in his study. Instead of disturbing Joseph in the same room, Kathy chose to review her papers in the bedroom.
She kept an eye on the news about NCHV Medical Company. It was bleak. The stock price, which thumped to the bottom, did not bounce back.
In the evening, she received a phone call summoning her to the police station. She had to help the policemen with the record so that they could set out to investigate Sammyâs death.
As it happened, Joseph was going to the company, so Kathy hitched a ride to the police station.
Kathy was one of the few people Sammy contacted before she died. Kathy poured out all she knew about Sammy, and then left.
At the gate, Kathy ran into Peter head on.
Kathy frowned and stopped.
âPeter.â She called him.
Peter indifferently narrowed his eyes, âWhatâs up?â
âWhy did you do this?â
âWhat did I do?â Peter revealed a puzzled expression.
Kathy pursed her lips. She really wanted to hit the man and ripped his mask up.
âTo give a blow to the NCHV Medical Company, you even take advantage of your mother.â Kathy asked in a deep voice.
Peter did not change his complexion. He said calmly, âKathy, be careful what you say. I do it for the public good. As for my mother, she died innocently. Shouldnât I investigate into it?â
âYou know the truth very well.â Kathy debunked his claim.
Peter curled his lips indifferently. âThe truth is that my mother died from the fake medicines developed by NCHV Medical Company.â
âIt is still under investigation. You may wait before you jump into the conclusion.â Kathy still kept her stern face.
âKathy, do you think NCHV Medical Company could recover? Donât be childish. Maybe, you could consider hopping to BT Group?â
âThatâs impossible.â Kathy refused without thinking.
âPeter, sooner or later, you are bound to be punished.â Kathy said angrily.
Peter looked at Kathyâs back. His cold face did not change.
Be punished?
He already had his curses.
However, he had no way back.
Kathy came back to Joseph Bay and Angela had been waiting for her for half an hour. Kathy did not know it.
Angela was worried about Kathy, because no one greeted her when she came to Joseph Bay.
She did not settle down until she saw Kathy, âItâs so late. Where did you go?â
âMom, I just did the record with policemen. Why are you here?â
âI am so worried, because I canât get you through the phone. Besides, I come to confirm something. You wonât apply for the postgraduate study, will you?â Angela asked with a cold face.
Kathy frowned and remained silent.
She knew that her mother was against it, but she had already made up her mind.
âKathy, your priority is to have a baby with Dr. Joseph. It wonât be late for you to pursue the postgraduate study after you have the baby.â Angela suggested.
âMom, neither Dr. Joseph nor I have a plan to raise a baby. Donât worry, just letâs run our courses.â
âHow could that be? Now I have the energy to help you with a baby. A few years later, I will be too old to do that.â
âMom, Iâve already decided it. I hope you could respect my decision.â Kathy now spoke with a stronger tone than before.
Angela was stunned. She bit her tongue and swallowed down all the words she had planned to speak.
âI do it for your good.â After a long while, Angela stammered out a sentence.

Kathy lowered her eyes. Her heart was charged with mixed feelings.
