Looking at the woman in his arms with a complicated expression, Joseph hugged her tightly unconsciously and his eyes darkened, "Have dinner with me first."
Kathy pursed her lips and didn’t want to talk to him, but he had agreed to help her find her brother, so she wouldn’t pull a long face again.
She just left his arms lazily and bent over to put on her shoes, "Okay."
After a while, she heard Joseph's voice falling in her ears, "We will go back to City N tomorrow, eh?"
Kathy looked down. She didn’t want to agree.
But Reece's case will come to trial, and she was going to appear in court as a witness.
So three days later, even if Kathy was unwilling to leave, she only followed Joseph back to City N.
Before leaving, Jennifer came to see her off.
When she saw Joseph, her face was not good, but Joseph greeted her politely.
"Mom, I will keep investigating Marlon's whereabouts, don't worry."
Jennifer sighed and kept holding her daughter's hand.
It was time to board the plane. Joseph walked over and hugged Kathy, "Mrs Booth, I will take care of Kathy.”
"Joseph, if you dare to hurt Kathy again, I won't let you go!" Jennifer's tone was cold.
Joseph's face was still gentle, and he smiled faintly, "I will only spoil her."
Hearing that, Kathy frowned, and for a while, she gave a mocking smile.
In the evening, they just returned to the old house of Joseph's family, and the servant had already prepared dinner.
Kathy kept her head down during the meal, even though the dishes on this table were delicious and all she loved.
Joseph sat beside her with one arm around her thin waist. Seeing that she had no appetite, he put down his chopsticks and served her with a bowl of soup.
"Don't you like it?" He frowned and asked in a low voice.
Kathy paused while holding the chopsticks, and looked up at this handsome face in front of her, "It's okay."
"Joseph, you don't need to be so good to me."
They can’t go back to the past anyway.
Didn't he always think that Veronica died because of her?
Didn’t he take revenge on her?
Of course, she didn't ask him. She was not silly to remind him to toss herself.
He asked her hoarsely, "Don't you like me being so good to you?"
Kathy seemed to stop breathing for a moment, and she pressed her lips without answering.
Now, she didn’t like it.
She would rather Joseph be indifferent to her as before. At least it will keep her awake and stop indulging in the gentleness of this man.
Joseph looked at her face. She still had the same pure features, but the eyes she looked at him were no longer tender and meek.
His heart flustered and became more gloomy.
"Kathy, I'm sorry." His fingers gently pinched her chin, his gaze was do sharp as if to look into her soul, "Can you forgive me?"
He knew it was hard to make up for the harm he caused to her.
But once, he really couldn't let go of those things.
