Joseph felt like tearing Kathy’s clothes apart when he laid his hands on her.
But he had to control himself.
His self-control was crumbling in front of the woman he loved the most.
But it seemed Kathy didn’t want to do it, so he just cuddled her. That was enough to help him feel better.
Kathy could sense Joseph suffering, but she was really not in the mood…
But she couldn’t bear to see Joseph being tortured like this either.
“Joseph, let’s do it.”
She raised her head and looked into Joseph’s eyes. Gritting her teeth, she put her lips on his.
Joseph narrowed his eyes. He couldn’t resist Kathy’s initiative. With his hand cupping the back of her head, he lied her down under him…
…
Outside the hotel.
Looking at his unconscious sister, Reece’s eyes were grim.
“To the hospital,” he told the driver.
On the way, he got a phone call from Mathew.
“Pleasure working with you, Mr. Bridges.”
“Mr. Mathew, the plan has failed. Ella is unconscious by my side right now.”
“What? My grandson was drugged, it’s impossible for him to hold himself back with that influence.”
“Joseph’s self-control is beyond our expectations,” Reece said blandly.
That drug was developed by the Bridges family in the early days. He was the only person who could resist the influence of the drug.
But now it seemed Joseph was the second person who could do that.
“I’ll handle things on my side. Please propose the marriage date soon.” Reece’s tone was authoritative as usual.
Ella came to the moment Reece hang up the phone. The wound on her forehead was roughly taken care of, but it was still painful.
“Reece?”
“Joseph didn’t touch you?” Reece narrowed his eyes.
A coat was put on Ella at this moment. But Reece already saw it. There was no sign of shagging underneath that coat.
Ella shook her head in dismay. Joseph really… loathed her.
She felt an impulse to give up every time she looked into his indifferent gaze.
“Reece, I can’t do this anymore.”
“I promised I’ll make you marry him.”
“But, he loathes me. Or you can even say he hates me.”
She really loved Joseph, so she couldn’t overlook his emotions.
“So, what do you have in mind?” Reece was sophisticated and he could tell what Ella was thinking.
She wanted to quit.
“He won’t marry me.”
“The Joseph family will pressure him. He will have no choice but to marry you.”
“Is that so?” Ella forced a wry smile.
Joseph was not a guy who would let anyone manipulate him.
What happened this night was the best example. He was drugged, but he just won’t touch her no matter how she seduced him.
…
In the midnight, Kathy left the bathroom in Joseph’s arms.
They were both soaking wet, but there were no clothes in the room for them to change into.
Kathy was exhausted, but Joseph was ready to go again.
She put her hand on his chest and held him off. She couldn’t take any more.
Joseph cuddled her and didn’t continue on his actions.
He knew she was tired.
The flame of lust had subsided and his rationality had found its way back to him. He grabbed his phone. There was signal in the room now.
He asked John to bring him two sets of clothes.
It was midnight but he wasn’t sleepy at all. After changing into the new set of clothes, he left the room. The banquet was over, the hall was pitch-dark.
