The morning passed; Mathew just finished his physical examination, and the report would not be ready until a few days after.
Kathy did not have classes today, so Mathew asked her to have lunch over at the old house.
"Grandpa, I'm heading back to school." Kathy subconsciously looked at Joseph.
"I'll send you back tonight." He said as he brought Kathy to the car, so that she could not refuse.
Mathew covered his smile with his hand; he was relieved to see his grandson and Kathy getting along intimately.
In Joseph’s residence.
With Kathy’s presence, the old house became quite lively.
The servants already finished preparing dinner, including many of Kathy’s favorite dishes.
"Kathy, sit next to Grandpa; and Joseph, you guy sit there." Mathew seemed quite friendly whenever Kathy was around.
Seeing them behave like this made Veronica feel jealous.
"Grandpa, can I sit here?"
"Of course you can."
"She’s no longer your granddaughter-in-law." Veronica reminded.
"Who says? There’s still a chance." Mathew found recently, Joseph and Kathy were quite close!
Something good was bound to happen!
Veronica stuck out her tongue and did not take the matter seriously.
At the dinner table, Joseph and Mathew would inevitable talk about family matters.
Kathy learnt that Julian was in Country N, and Diego and Nell were at Country C, but Mathew still told Joseph to keep an eye on Julian and Diego.
After the meal, Mathew called Kathy to the study, and left Joseph out.
"Grandpa, do you want to tell me something?" Kathy looked at Grandpa confusedly.
"Kathy, I know that you were forced to divorce Joseph; I’m very sorry about that. I hope you can give that kid another chance." Mathew said sincerely.
He could tell that, only with Kathy by his side was Joseph a better man with feelings.
For so many years, Mathew looked on as Joseph always seemed to be wearing a mask, hiding away his true self, which made him feel very distressed!
But Kathy was the only one who can change Joseph.
...
It was late at night as Kathy came out of the study.
In the kitchen, Joseph’s figure came into view; he was busy working.
"I should head back now." Kathy said behind him.
"Stay tonight, I'll take you to school tomorrow morning."
Kathy frowned; it was pretty late, but staying the night... didn’t seem appropriate.
Seeing her hesitate, Joseph's long arms suddenly hugged her, and he said in a low-pitched voice next to her ear, "Do you really want to go back?"
Kathy bit her lip; she didn’t really want to...
But…
"Here, everyone treats you as Mrs. Joseph." Joseph said.
Kathy was rendered speechless.
"I'm not."
"Kathy, I will make you want to marry me again, out of your own willingness."
These words made Kathy froze in place... was it still possible?
Joseph knew that she didn't have much time.
Subconsciously, she pushed Joseph away.
Desserts that Joseph just finished making were placed on the table.
Kathy tasted them in silence; she didn't like anything too sweet, but Joseph's was just right.
Joseph also brought dessert to his sister upstairs.
"Hmph, I didn’t know you know how to make this." Veronica said in a bit of amazement.
She always felt that her brother treated her well, but making desserts? This was something she didn’t know he knew how to do.
"There are many things you don't know." Joseph said as he smirked.
"Looks like I only get to eat this dessert because of Kathy."
"Good that you know."
