My Sweetheart novel Chapter 160

Joseph frowned. He was going to turn around and get out. But Kathy subconsciously grabbed his wrist and held it to her chest.

The desire he had had such a hard time controlling seemed to burn again all at once. He became expressionless, and then he pulled his hand out and walked out of the room.

The following day, Kathy slept until almost noon time. She looked at the clock and realized she hadn't taken the day off!

She took off the fever reducer and called Alexia immediately. But she was told that she had taken the day off.

"It was Dr. Joseph who called me. He said you have a fever. Kathy, you should get some rest," Alexia said.

Kathy frowned. She didn't want that man meddling in her affairs.

"I'm divorcing him." Thinking of what happened last night, Kathy said quietly.

"What? Kathy, it's not April Fool's Day. Don't be ridiculous." It was obvious Alexia just didn't believe her.

Kathy rolled her eyes. Forget it. She'd had the same attitude when she'd wanted Alexia to believe she was married. Anyway, she'd find out late.

After hanging up the phone, she didn't have to go to the office. She was a little hungry, so she planned to cook something to eat.

The maids came up to the kitchen every day to put away the ingredients. Kathy simply cooked the noodles. When she sat down, she saw a contract on the table.

Her heart trembled and she flipped through the pages.

On it was a detailed record of her financial troubles with Joseph over the past six months. The largest amount was for the renovation of Kathy's family, which amounted to millions.

She froze. Yes. That house was all smashed up and now it's brand new in less than a month. The cost of renovation plus furniture must have been a lot. She just didn't expect the materials used to be the best, so of course the cost was high.

She plopped down on the couch. If she were to divorce Joseph, she'd almost have to pay him back two million...

Didn't they get divorced?

Kathy lay down on the table. She was frustrated with herself for having no guts. If she continued to live with Joseph, she didn't know how she was going to get along with him herself.

Since she would love him more and more in the long run, she might as well leave sooner rather than later. After all, he'd said he wouldn't like her.

So there would be no spark of love between them.

But the two million...

Kathy calculated her salary. It would take her at least twenty years to pay it off...

At this moment, a news message popped up on her phone. Seeing the words the Joseph's Group, Kathy subconsciously clicked on it.

She didn't realize it was a live feed, and the man on the screen was Joseph.

"Today is the first quarter launch of the Joseph's Group. The newly appointed President of the Joseph's Group, Mr. Joseph, and the Vice President of the Medical Research Institute, Ms. Edith, are present..."

Edith?

Kathy stared unblinkingly at the woman on the screen. She was wearing a sheer white bralette dress and standing next to Joseph, who was wearing a black suit. The two of them were surrounded by reporters asking questions. Joseph had explained everything about the Joseph's Group, and now the picture was of reporters gossiping about Joseph's private life. Naturally, their attention would fall on Edith.

"Mr. Joseph, rumor has it that you are married. Is this Miss Wesley beside you your wife?"

Kathy zoomed in on the video, not wanting to miss the slightest change in Joseph's expression. For a long while, she finally heard his reply.

"I'm married. As for Miss Wesley, please give her some privacy."

After that, he put his hand in front of Edith's face and escorted her all the way away in a very gentlemanly manner.

Kathy stared at his hand, and anger burned in her eyes.

Mr. Joseph was so considerate of women!
