In the darkness, the handsome man looked into her eyes precisely, as if he had made up his mind. He slowly said, "Can't you forget them? That's ok—"
"Kathy, stay by my side. From this moment on, do everything possible to get back from me."
...
Reece's case was already being interrogated. Kathy didn't know what method Joseph used. She hadn't been in the police station after that day, and can stay in Joseph Bay safely.
She always read a book or watched a movie.
This afternoon, in the early winter, it was cold outside, and only the sun filtered into the house. There was a pale warmth when the sun shone on the skin.
She casually selected a European art film to watch, but its plot progressed very slowly. When Kathy almost fell asleep, she heard the sound of soft footsteps behind her.
She was almost accustomed to Joseph appearing anytime and anywhere, so she was not disturbed in the slightest.
He lifted her upper body and placed it on his legs. His slender fingers inserted into her hair and stroked softly. Then he said thoughtfully, "Kathy, go back with me to Joseph’s residence during this time, ok?"
"What?" Kathy just drifted into a light sleep. She suddenly awakened by him and asked in a low voice.
"The theater over there is more spacious and comfortable than here." He was still leaning on the sofa leisurely. His fingertips rubbed her hair softly, she felt a little itchy.
"You have made a decision. Does my opinion matter?" Kathy sneered, turned over and sat up and walked to the bedroom.
After she took a step, Joseph pulled her.
She paused slightly and stood still obediently.
Joseph's voice was a little gloomy, "Did I force you to do things you didn't want to do during this time?"
His voice may be a little unpleasant, but Kathy didn't care. She just smiled thinly, with an ironic look in her eyes, "Yes, you also didn't have done much in the past."
He looked down at her. His eyes were very complicated, but he slowly let go of his hand.
Kathy went back to the bedroom and changed her clothes. When she came out, he was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, not knowing what he was thinking. The room was quiet, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on his slender figure. He looked a little lonely.
"I have an appointment with Alexia." She hesitated for a while, and then turned around, "There is nothing here. If you want, we can move back."
"It's cold today." He walked over, put his windbreaker on her shoulders, smiled and kissed her on the cheek, "Well, have fun."
Today was the day when Alexia went back to BV City, and Kathy came to saw her off.
"Kathy, are you really planning to stay in City N?" Alexia said worriedly.
Kathy now looked very thin and pale, as if she had no soul.
She was very distressed, but she didn't know how to help her.
"Right. This is my plan."
"Do you really want to stay with Joseph?" Alexia held her cold hand.
Kathy smiled, "Does this matter?"
"Isn't it important? Did Joseph force you?"
Kathy did not shake her head or nod.
Joseph protected her, so she stayed with him. They all got what they wanted.
Just as when they got married four years ago, they all got what they needed.
Everything seemed to be back to the starting point again.
"Alexia, I know what I'm doing, don't worry."
