Kathy’s face turned red, “I’m not moving out. I’ll be away for just three months, it will go by very quickly.”
“Mrs. Joseph, I don’t want to be apart from you, not even for a day,” said Joseph in an aggressive tone.
“Then what should I do…”
“I’m at your home already.”
Joseph arrived at the entrance of the Booth’s 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, “Can’t sleep?”
“It’s none of your business.” Kathy’s face darkened.
“I can chat with you a bit if you can’t sleep.” 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.
“Hello, Mr. Joseph.”
Joseph ignored him, his gaze was locked onto Kathy.
He held her hand and hugged her tightly.
“Were you waiting?”
“I couldn’t sleep anyway,” said Kathy honestly.
“I see that Mrs. Joseph needs me by her side.”
Kathy pulled Joseph’s 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.
“Are you staying the night?” asked Kathy nervously.
“Either that or you leave with me,” said Joseph as he squinted his eyes.
“Well, it’s better if you stay the night then.”
They turned around and was going to head to the room, but Bertie halted them in their tracks.
“This is the Booth family, Mr. Joseph can’t stay the night without permission.”
“Mr. Marshall, who do you think you are?” The expression in Joseph’s 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.
“I think you have forgotten the fact that I’m Kathy’s 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?” said Joseph coldly.
Even Kathy could feel the anger in his icy glare, she was petrified.
“Bertie, don’t be such a busybody.” Kathy was also furious.
Bertie smiled cunningly and moved out of the way voluntarily, “Mr. Joseph, my room is opposite of Kathy’s. I hope that you guys won’t make too much noise so that I can get my beauty sleep.”
He then went upstairs.
Joseph’s face darkened, “Opposite?”
Kathy looked down, she didn’t dare to say anything.
Clearly, it was arranged this way on purpose.
There were many other guest rooms at the Booth family.
“You are hiding a lot of stuff from me, Mrs. Joseph.”
“I wasn’t hiding it. There’s nothing between me and Bertie, it’s none of my concern where his room is,” said Kathy loud and clear.
She didn’t care one bit about Bertie and didn’t think that he could cause a rift between Joseph and her.
Though it seemed like Joseph didn’t think like Kathy.
“Mrs. Joseph, it concerns me. I don’t like other people thinking about or getting close to my beloved, not to mention that he is obviously yearning for you.”
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 Bertie’s feeling towards her.
She was then kissed forcefully while she was distracted. Joseph’s kiss was so aggressive that Kathy couldn’t fight back, she could only learn to accept it.
The handsome Joseph before her wasn’t planning to let her escape.
“Ngh…”
Kathy whimpered in pain, she could taste blood.
