“Why my great-grandson was not born yet?” Mathew showed no expression on his face intentionally.
Kathy lowered her head, her face was flushed.
“Grandpa, Joseph and I haven’t planned for that yet,” Kathy said it out after a fashion.
Mathew frowned, he was slightly discontented.
“I don’t want to force both of you. I know you have planned to further your study. I also get to know the happening in City N, but you should remember that Joseph family will support you forever,” Mathew said earnestly.
Joseph family.
Joseph was indeed giving her the greatest support.
Kathy felt slightly warm.
Joseph arrived a bit late. Just then, Diego came back too.
Joseph showed his sullen face instantly.
When they were dining, Kathy sat beside Joseph whereas Diego sat opposite to Joseph.
But he never looked at his father.
Diego did not mention Joseph at all when he chatted with Mathew.
Kathy lowered her head, she felt uneasy in this awkward atmosphere.
After dining, Joseph was called by grandpa to the study room. Kathy felt bored and went for a stroll in the garden.
When she just passed by the rockery, Joseph’s voice was heard.
Kathy stopped walking instinctively.
“Why do you come here? I have asked you to stay in the hotel!”
“I miss you so much. When are you going to announce our relationship to the public?”
“It’s not the right timing now. I miss you too, my dear….”
“You’re bad…Please don’t…”
Kathy was flushed, she did not expect to encounter this kind of situation. She turned and walked away.
However, she accidentally stepped on the rubble on the ground.
Diego turned his head incisively and asked instantly, “Who is that?”
Kathy was frozen. She quickly walked non-stop towards the bungalow.
Diego wanted to chase after her but blocked by a woman, “Don’t you say your father and your son are in the study room now? She might be the maid.”
“Hum, baby, let’s continue——”
The disgusting voice made Kathy shiver and she banged into a stiff chest. Joseph hugged her firmly.
Kathy was stunned. She was relieved then when she smelled the recognized odour.
Joseph squinted his eyes coldly. Even if he had not gone there, he knew what was going on.
“Let’s go back,” he held Kathy’s hand.
Kathy nodded. Diego was in his fifties, but the woman’s appearance, figure and voice were barely twenty.
“Are you afraid?” Joseph asked Kathy attentively as she kept silent all the time.
“No,” Kathy shook her head.
Joseph held her head, his lips touched her forehead, “Diego is fond of sex life, don’t get closer to him.”
“I have understood,” Kathy hugged Joseph first to console him as well as herself.
She suddenly realized of what kind of family was Joseph born in.
…
Three days later, Kathy received the admission letter from Ocean University.
She sat in front of the computer, read the email carefully to make sure that it was true.
Her smile began to plaster on her face. She told Joseph the good news immediately.
It did not seem to surprise Joseph, he smiled, “Congratulations, Mrs. Joseph.”
“Wow, I get good comment from Mr Watson. I have to work harder as I am his only postgraduate student this year."
“I have always believed that my wife is the best.”
“Don’t praise me anymore, I think I am just lucky,” Kathy said.
Nevertheless, the person that she wanted to appreciate the most was Joseph.
It was Joseph who recommended her to Mr Watson, then the opportunity came.
“Thank you, Joseph.”
“Uh-huh, if you want to thank me, take some action.”
