My Sweetheart novel Chapter 641

Kathy turned her face away and nodded slowly.

The owner’s wife looked at Joseph with a smile. "As for men, take a cold shower in the courtyard."

Kathy subconsciously looked through the window at the small courtyard. She suddenly smiled. Could the sheltered Mr Joseph endure bathing in the public bathroom?

However, Kathy was also going to the public bathhouse for the first time. She felt fresh, but more intense.

Because it was summer, there weren't many people who came to bathe and there weren't many people in the locker room, so she didn't find any naked people.

She had never had such an experience, so she felt as if she was a thief at this moment. She hurried into the cubicle with a washbasin and her clothes. She washed herself as quickly as she could and walked in slippers.

The owner’s wife was waiting for him at the door. The two chatted as they walked, “Are you hungry? We can have meal when we get back. Joseph likes sweet and sour ribs the most. You can have a try later."

Kathy put her wet hair behind her ears and nodded. After a moment's indecision, she asked, "Madam, does he come here often?"

"Once a year."

"What is he doing here?"

"Don't all of you in town like to go on vacation? Drink tea, catch fish and eat some farm food."

Kathy was silent. When she was with him three years ago, she didn't know that he had such a habit.

They used to go to high-end hotels when on vacation, but she didn't expect that Joseph would like such a place.

The plastic slippers creaked on the bluestone floor. They just happened to meet a group of children after school. They were chattering, and brought joy to the desolate path.

Kathy was preoccupied with her own thoughts until she returned to the small courtyard. When she opened the door, she was stunned.

At this moment, sun went down. The bluestone slab was wet, and there was a plastic water dish casually placed on it. Joseph's back was facing her, and his upper body was bare. He should have just finished taking a bath.

The orange sunlight cast on his dark bronze skin. His skinny and powerful waist was loosely clad in cotton pants. When he turned his head and saw Kathy, he was slightly stunned.

Kathy didn't even dry her hair. She was wearing a simple flaxen dress. She looked like a local woman here, her eyes sparkling.

Joseph's eyes suddenly showed a hint of joy, but he quickly became expressionless. He just walked to the room and put on a coat.

Kathy stood in the courtyard. Instead, she shifted her gaze unnaturally. Her cheeks were slightly red because Joseph's lean figure registered in her brain.

It wasn't until the owner’s wife came over and visited her for dinner that Kathy came to her senses.

The dishes on the old dining table weren't very rich. Sweet and sour pork ribs, shrimp tofu, fish head soup, every dish was delicious.

Kathy kept her head down to eat while Joseph continued talking to the owner.

When the owner of the home stayer mentioned his children who had worked outside in the early years, Joseph moved closer and listened attentively.

When Kathy raised her head, she could just see his warm smile. She was stunned for a moment. She only felt that the current Joseph was like a gentle man from three years ago.

During this time, the feeling he gave her was completely cold and emotionless.

"Alright, let's play a game of chess after we finish the meal." Joseph smiled slightly. When he turned around and saw Kathy's surprised expression, a relaxed smile appeared in his deep eyes.

Kathy thought she was wrong.
