Kathyâs face turned red, âIâm not moving out. Iâll be away for just three months, it will go by very quickly.â
âMrs. Joseph, I donât want to be apart from you, not even for a day,â said Joseph in an aggressive tone.
âThen what should I do...â
âIâm at your home already.â
Joseph arrived at the entrance of the Boothâs mansion in his car.
Kathy walked out to the balcony and saw a black car parked in front of the entrance.
She changed and walked out of the room, Bertie coincidentally did the same.
He smiled when he saw Kathy, âCanât sleep?â
âItâs none of your business.â Kathyâs face darkened.
âI can chat with you a bit if you canât sleep.â Bertie ignored what Kathy said.
Kathy rolled her eyes and ignored him.
She went downstairs and saw that Joseph had already invited himself into the living room.
Bertie smiled menacingly when he saw Joseph.
âHello, Mr. Joseph.â
Joseph ignored him, his gaze was locked onto Kathy.
He held her hand and hugged her tightly.
âWere you waiting?â
âI couldnât sleep anyway,â said Kathy honestly.
âI see that Mrs. Joseph needs me by her side.â
Kathy pulled Josephâs hand when Joseph was about to go upstairs.
Her grandfather and her mother were probably resting right now, Joseph should only be able to see them the next morning.
âAre you staying the night?â asked Kathy nervously.
âEither that or you leave with me,â said Joseph as he squinted his eyes.
âWell, itâs better if you stay the night then.â
They turned around and was going to head to the room, but Bertie halted them in their tracks.
âThis is the Booth family, Mr. Joseph canât stay the night without permission.â
âMr. Marshall, who do you think you are?â The expression in Josephâs eyes was threatening.
Bertie frowned, who did he think he is? Although he was close to Zack, he was still a guest in the Booth family.
âI think you have forgotten the fact that Iâm Kathyâs husband, Mr. Marshall. I am the son-in-law of the Booth family, are you sure that you want to stop me from spending the night?â said Joseph coldly.
Even Kathy could feel the anger in his icy glare, she was petrified.
âBertie, donât be such a busybody.â Kathy was also furious.
Bertie smiled cunningly and moved out of the way voluntarily, âMr. Joseph, my room is opposite of Kathyâs. I hope that you guys wonât make too much noise so that I can get my beauty sleep.â
He then went upstairs.
Josephâs face darkened, âOpposite?â
Kathy looked down, she didnât dare to say anything.
Clearly, it was arranged this way on purpose.
There were many other guest rooms at the Booth family.
âYou are hiding a lot of stuff from me, Mrs. Joseph.â
âI wasnât hiding it. Thereâs nothing between me and Bertie, itâs none of my concern where his room is,â said Kathy loud and clear.
She didnât care one bit about Bertie and didnât think that he could cause a rift between Joseph and her.
Though it seemed like Joseph didnât think like Kathy.
âMrs. Joseph, it concerns me. I donât like other people thinking about or getting close to my beloved, not to mention that he is obviously yearning for you.â
Joseph pushed her against the wall the moment they got into the room, he held up her chin and his frigid voice sent shivers down her spine.
His sombre and gloomy expression frightened Kathy.
Kathy stayed quiet, she knew about Bertieâs feeling towards her.
She was then kissed forcefully while she was distracted. Josephâs kiss was so aggressive that Kathy couldnât fight back, she could only learn to accept it.
The handsome Joseph before her wasnât planning to let her escape.
âNgh...â
Kathy whimpered in pain, she could taste blood.
âAre you a dog?â yelled Kathy angrily.
Joseph actually bit her lips!
âSorry, Iâm just very angry.â There was a hint of fury in his eyes.
He was trying his best to control his emotions.
âI was being careful around him. Bertie and my grandfather were always close, he only spent the night because of the amount of work at Booth Group piled up recently.â Kathy tried to explain.
âFine,â answered Joseph plainly, he then went into the bathroom.
Kathy thought he would do something to her, but he just left.
Even though she felt a strong desire from him just now.
But he let her go.
When Kathy woke up the next day, Joseph was nowhere to be found.
She looked at the time and realized that it was getting a bit late.
She went downstairs and met Jennifer who also just woke up.
âMom.â
âWhatâs wrong? You donât look so well. Did you not sleep well last night?â asked Jennifer caringly.
Kathy shook her head and smiled plainly, âJoseph came over, he would be accompanying me for the time being.â
âI see. Itâs rarely so merry at the Booth family, your grandfather must be happy.â
They then went to the living room. Bertie and Joseph were sitting opposite of each other, breakfast was served on the table in front of them.
Bertie said when he saw Kathy, âJennifer, Kathy, come over. I made breakfast.â
Kathy looked at Joseph and sat down next to him.
The expression in Bertieâs eyes darkened.
âMrs. Joseph, itâs your favourite fried egg.â Joseph moved the plate in front of him towards Kathy.
âYou arrived last night, Joseph?â Jennifer sat down and greeted Joseph kindly.
âYeah, I arrived around midnight. Thatâs why I couldnât greet you last night,â answered Joseph politely.
âThatâs fine. How long are you planning to stay here for?â
Kathy turned her head and glanced at Joseph.
She also didnât know the answer to this question.
Joseph should have a lot of matters to attend to at City N, so she assumed that he couldnât stay for long.
But his answer surprised her.
âIt highly depends on Mrs. Joseph.â
Kathy was taken aback, âI have to stay here for three months. How are you going to deal with the business at City N if you are to stay here that long as well?â
âCoincidentally there are some problems at the branch company here in country B, Iâm here to deal with them. The business in City N will be taken care of by others for the time being.â
Mr. Joseph and Kathy really loved each other,â said Bertie as he smiled mischievously.
âYeah.â
âWell, just let me know if you need anything, Joseph. I will do my best to make you feel at home,â said Jennifer.
âThank you, Mrs. Booth.â
Bertie left the house not long after, Jennifer also needed to deal with something at the company. Only Kathy and Joseph remained in the dining room.
âDo you have anything to do today?â asked Kathy.
âI have a meeting later, do you want to come with me?â
A voice came from afar when Kathy was about to answer Joseph. Zackâs hoary figure moved across the room.
âI have something to discuss with Kathy. Please take your leave, Joseph.â
Joseph seemed unhappy.
âIâll be waiting for you tonight.â Kathy tried to make him let go of her hand.
Kathy stared at the doctor who was here to give Zack a body check-up in his room. She helped him lie down after he took his medicines.
âGrandfather, what do you need to discuss with me?â
âI need you to take a look at this contract.â The butler then handed her a document.
Kathy looked at the document suspiciously, it was about a type of medication used in therapy to aid and treat Dysautonomia. It was now in the third clinical trial.
My Sweetheart ï¤Chapter 281 There Was A Guy Lingering Around My Wife Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad ï¤Chapter 488 A New beginning It'll Come Naturally ï¤Chapter 1809 The Ending (Part Four)
Early results showed that there were some problems with the medication, the trial patients experienced side-effects and more research had to be done on the drug.
âGrandfather, this is..?â
âYou see, the trial patients experienced some side-effects. There is some problem with the clinical trial, but the medication has to be put on the market in three months. I need you to look into the issue.â
Kathy frowned, she wasnât familiar with this type of drugs. It wouldnât be good for her to suddenly meddle in the issue.
