My Sweetheart novel Chapter 172

"Mr. Joseph’s confession is not enough." Kathy curled her lips suddenly.

Seeing him standing next to Edith made Kathy feel so annoyed.

In addition, Edith trapped her on purpose, which was obvious for avoiding Joseph to meet her.

"Huh? I'm willing to take any kind of punishment from Mrs. Joseph." Joseph's voice became more seductive.

Kathy's cheeks were slightly blushed. Why would Joseph seem to be teasing her even when he admitted a mistake?

"I haven't thought of it yet, but you are not allowed to bring any other women to parties in the future!" Kathy said seriously.

She never thought that when she rejected Joseph, he would take Edith here instead.

She just realized that she couldn't accept it at all.

Especially when Edith had special feelings towards Joseph.

"Then Mrs. Joseph need to promise me that you will accompany me wherever I go in the future, yes?" Joseph held her slender waist while talking. Their faces were very close.

The way to the open-air dining area had been blocked somehow, so no one could come over.

But through the French-windows, many guests looked here with envy and jealousy in their eyes.

After all, Kathy looked ordinary today, but somehow drew people’s attention easily.

As for Joseph, he was popular anyway wherever he went. He was always the center of attention.

Kathy frowned, Joseph's request seemed a bit too much.

She was not like him that could go wherever he wanted.

"But..." Just as Kathy was about to speak, Joseph stopped her with a finger touching her thin lips.

"There is no ‘but’. Mrs. Joseph doesn't like seeing other people being by my side, so you have no choice but doing it yourself. "Joseph said bossily.

"I didn’t say that I don't like it." Kathy replied unhonestly.

"Huh? You will take good price if you lie to me." Joseph's voice became even lower.

Kathy felt Joseph’s eyes becoming serious and dangerous.

"Honestly I don't like it, but do you care how I feel?" Kathy asked nervously.

She seemed to get used to Joseph's responsiveness to her now. What she had to admit was this kind of dependence had been deeply rooted in her heart.

"Well, I care." After talking, he held her head and kissed her deeply, giving her no chance to escape.

Kathy blinked and raised her eyes. Then she realized that there were so many people looking at them!

But she couldn't push Joseph away, instead, she was held in his arms tightly. She felt so sweet deep in her heart.

The dinner was mainly to thank the main partners of the Joseph's Group in the past few years. The Joseph's Group was nobody a few years ago. But in these years the Joseph's Group became one of the best already in the area, especially after Joseph taking office. He switched his role from a neurologist to the president of the Joseph's Group, which surprised everyone but no one dared to question him.

After all, Joseph was sufficiently influential no matter what role he took.

Before the end of the dinner, Joseph needed to have a speech on stage. Kathy found a quiet corner to sit. From a distance, Joseph looked so handsome and attractive on stage, wearing a pure black high-definition suit. It was so hard for her to look away from him.

No one could be as charming as him.

There was a strong feeling of admire in Kathy’s heart.

"Miss Kathy." Edith who had already changed her dress came down from upstairs. She looked so delicate and impeccable after fixing her makeup.

"What?" Kathy said with a porker face.

Edith trapped her in the stairwell, but Alexia pushed Edith into the swimming pool. So Kathy didn’t feel uneven from Edith anymore.

But Kathy didn't want to get close to Edith at all.

"Miss Kathy saved me just now. I am very grateful." Edith maintained a decent smile on her face.

"Miss Edith, you are welcome."

"Joseph invited me to be his partner tonight. I was also surprised. Did you two have a problem?" Edith asked.

"Well, if I knew that my absence would trouble Miss Kathy, I would come over no matter how busy I was." Kathy answered with alienation.

Kathy made it clear that she didn’t want to talk much.

Edith’s smile froze, "I am working at the Joseph's Group now. It is my responsibility to help Mr. Joseph."

"It should be Joseph's personal business tonight. But he said you are like his younger sister, I wouldn't mind."

Younger sister?

Edith pulled her lips bitterly. She couldn’t believe that was how Joseph thought of her.

"It seems that Miss Kathy really minds. I have lived in Joseph family since I was a child. Joseph has always taken good care of me. The relationship between us may not be understood by others."

Kathy frowned. Edith always called her "Miss Kathy", which obviously means that she would not recognize her as Mrs. Joseph.

What Edith said also implied that the relationship between her and Joseph was not simple as Kathy thought. What an evil girl.

"Well, I can't understand, and I don't intend to understand. Now Joseph is my husband. That’s it. Now I am the one being next to him, not other nasty women."

Edith couldn't help feeling so angry that she almost lost her temper. Other nasty woman? Obviously Kathy was the nasty one!

"Kathy, you are not good enough for him." Edith said coldly.

"Is this important? The important thing is I married him." Kathy smiled.

Seeing Joseph came down from the stage, Kathy turned her head back. She really didn't want to say a word to Edith anymore.

"Honey, do you have anything else to do later?" When Joseph walked closer, Kathy put her arms around his.

Joseph smiled and shook his head.

"Then let's go home."

Saying so, two of them were about to leave.

Edith chased up and stood in front of Joseph, looking guilty, "Joseph, I'm sorry tonight to make you embarrassed."

"Go back and take a good rest." Joseph answered simply and coldly.

Edith bit her lip feeling unfair. She was obviously the most beautiful woman tonight, but Joseph didn't look at her at all.

Lincoln came over with a glass of red wine. He looked at Joseph and Kathy who just left, then looked at Edith.

"Dear Edith, they are in love now. It's a bit difficult for you to get involved." Lincoln narrowed his enchanting eyes.

Tonight what they did really opened his eyes.

Joseph, who was usually cold and arrogant, would show his affection in public tonight without hesitation.

Or was he just acting?

Lincoln knew that Mathew had been always staring at them tonight.

"Lincoln, who is that woman? If she is just as ordinary as she looks, Joseph won't care for her this much."

For all these years, Edith had always been confident that she was the most outstanding and beautiful woman around Joseph. She never worried that Joseph would fall in love with any other women.

But now, everything was different. Kathy was just an ordinary woman. How could she make Joseph so care so much on her?

At first she thought that Joseph was just doing this for his grandfather’s wish. He would definitely divorce after getting married. But she didn't expect that they were not just pretending to be a couple, they actually were couple that she was his Mrs. Joseph.

How could she let this happen?

"I'm also investigating, but there is no progress." Lincoln frowned.

His information network basically covered everywhere in the whole world. As long as he wanted to check something, there was no information that could be hidden.

But now, he was facing some difficulties doing so.

Someone concealed Kathy’s information on purpose. All he could know were just something not important.
