"But then our relationship would be exposed."
Kathy frowned. While everyone around her knew about her relationship with Joseph now, having a wedding was bound to be more high-profile.
She knew how horrible Joseph's fans could be.
"I don't mind. I do want everyone to know that you're my wife. In this way, no one is allowed to hit on you." Joseph said overbearingly.
Kathy smiled suddenly, "Well, I should be the one to say that."
Joseph was so handsome and good-looking, there were plenty of women who coveted him.
...
The date for the wedding was quickly set.
It was just two months later, not long after she finished her exams.
But since it was going to be a wedding, it wasn't just the Booth family that had to worry, the Joseph family as well.
Kathy didn't know what Joseph was planning. She hadn't met the rest of the Joseph family except for his grandfather. Was Joseph going to invite them?
"What are you thinking?" Seeing Kathy staring at the wedding dress drawings, Joseph came over and hugged her.
Kathy turned her head. The smile on her face froze.
"Will anyone else from the Joseph family besides your grandfather be at the wedding?"
"Besides grandpa, there's my sister, Veronica."
"Sister? I can't believe I didn't know you had a sister." Kathy scowled at him deliberately.
"She's not well." The coldness in Joseph's eyes flickered away.
Kathy was shocked. She hadn't expected to bring up the sad story about Joseph.
She smiled, "Your sister must be beautiful. After all, you're so handsome."
"She ... was just too pretty, so life didn't go well for her." Joseph's tone got even colder.
Kathy knew better than to ask any more questions. She changed the subject, "I don't see anything wrong with the wedding dress. I love it."
Joseph lowered his eyes. He had been personally involved in the design of it. He had already started preparing it when he and Kathy got their marriage license.
"The wedding dress will be flown in from Europe next week, along with the rest of the gowns. You'll pick them all together then."
The smile on Kathy's face deepened, "Joseph, you really did have it all planned out. I can't believe I didn't know."
"I was always serious about marrying you." Joseph lifted her small face and his tone was grimly determined.
Kathy kept her wits about her. He'd meant it when he said he was married to her.
What about feelings?
...
In the afternoon, Kathy went to the Hilton family. Jennifer was very keen on the wedding. She kept asking Kathy to come over and discuss the matter with her.
Grandpa was too old to plan the wedding himself, so he asked Jennifer to take care of it.
"Kathy, I'm going to arrange the wedding at the Booth’s old castle. What style do you like for the setting?"
The planner at Jennifer's side handed over the iPad, and on it were several pictures of the setting.
About the wedding, Kathy had never thought about what it would look like.
She hadn't thought this far ahead before with Peter.
And after marrying Joseph, it was something she hadn't thought about even more.
Seeing that Kathy seemed confused, Jennifer smiled, "What do you think of this 'Princess' theme? Layout as a pure white ocean, I rather like it."
"Just as you wish, Mrs Hilton."
"Kathy, call me 'Mom', okay?" Jennifer looked at Kathy expectantly.
She always called her Mrs Hilton, which made her feel so distant.
