It was almost dawn before Veronica finally fell asleep and Kathy also went to take break on the couch.
When she opened her eyes, she noticed something strange.
Wasn’t she sleeping on the couch?
She blinked, rolled over and realized that she was sleeping on someone's lap.
She immediately sat up, and Joseph’s handsome face came into view.
When did he come?
And when did she sleep on his lap?
“Sleep a little longer if you're still tired.” Joseph doted on her as he ruffled her hair.
As if the two had not divorced yet.
Kathy, however, was wide awake and shook her head, “I'm not sleepy.”
At the time, Joseph’s jacket slipped off from her body. She immediately picked it up and handed it to him while getting up.
However, Joseph’s scent kept lingering around her for a long time.
She walked towards where Veronica was and noticed that she was still sleeping. Kathy continued by checking Veronica’s wounds and temperature. She finally relaxed as she had confirmed that Veronica was alright.
She left the ward as it was almost time to go back to school.
“Mr. Joseph, if anything happens to Veronica, please let me know.” Kathy said while maintaining a distance with Joseph.
“Well, I'll send you back.” Joseph also stood up.
“No, there is no need to bother you.”
“It's no trouble at all.” Joseph’s words had a slightly commanding tone to them.
In the car, Kathy was yawning all the time. She had not slept for hours and was now very sleepy.
“When did you come over this morning?” She asked.
She even slept so deeply that she did not even know that Joseph had arrived.
“Two hours ago, please get some sleep, I'll drive a little slower.” Joseph’s hand reached over and helped her buckle her seat belt.
The cool temperature caressed her chest, and Kathy subconsciously shivered.
Her face even turned red.
The man's hand did not leave and suddenly cupped Kathy’s chin. This caused Kathy to look up at him.
“Are you nervous?” His voice was deep and full of attractiveness.
Kathy’s heart was beating faster...
“Of course not, you can start driving.” Kathy turned her head to look out the window.
But Joseph pulled back towards him, “Just sleep.”
Kathy looked at him, her eyes seemingly drawn to his eyes.
He had always known how to charm her.
“Call me when you get there,” Kathy replied as she stopped being stubborn.
She seemed to be able to sleep extraordinarily well only when she's around Joseph.
So, she did not even know that she had already arrived at school.
When she woke up, it was almost noon, and Joseph was by her side dealing with business quietly.
After rubbing her eyes, Kathy looked outside at the entrance of Ocean University, and then looked at the time.
“Joseph, didn't I told you to wake me up?” She was a little angry.
“You don't have classes for a few days either, so there's no rush.” It was as if he knew her class schedule well.
“I don't want to take up your time.”
“Don’t you know that I'd rather spend time with you?”
“We're already divorced.” Kathy's tone was slightly cold.
“I know, my ex-wife doesn't need to keep reminding me about that, but a divorce can’t stop me from wanting to be near you, right?” He clasped her wrists and pressed her onto her seat forcefully.
The position made Kathy ashamed and annoyed, but she could not push Joseph away.
She stared at him angrily, “What do you mean, Mr. Joseph?”
“Kathy, I don't like you calling me Mr. Joseph.” His eyes became intimidating.
Kathy’s heartbeat was getting even more faster.
At that moment, Joseph’s usual gentle behaviour seemed to have faded. Suddenly, he was giving off a dangerous aura.
She gulped and was unable to make a sound for a long time.
“Joseph, let go of me!” At the same time, Kathy raised her foot to kick him as she watched him get closer and closer.
Joseph apparently was not expecting it as he wailed and raised his eyebrows.
However, he still did not let go of Kathy.
