Chapter 231 I Want to Be with You

It was already noon when Kathy waked up again, and Joseph’s aura still lingered around her.

Did he go to the company again?

Kathy went downstairs. The servant already put her meal on the table.

“Was Joseph out?” Kathy asked.

As soon as she finished speaking, a familiar figure emerged from the second floor. It was Lincoln.

He didn’t put up a gentle face when he saw Kathy.

“Mrs. Joseph was a real idler.” There was a hint of irony in his words.

“What do you mean?” Kathy looked at him calmly.

“Nothing.” Lincoln held his tongue.

He sat down on the opposite side, and the servant had apparently prepared his meal.

Kathy then concluded that Joseph didn’t go out today.

At this time, Kathy’s phone buzzed. Sue texted Kathy on Wechat, inquiring after Lincoln’s whereabouts.

Kathy: He is in Joseph Bay.

Sue: Let him answer my call.

Kathy looked up at Lincoln’s gloomy face and frowned.

At the same time, Lincoln’s phone rang.



Lincoln hung up without thinking.

“Sue may have something important to tell you.” Kathy said.

“She has nothing to do with me.” Lincoln’s tone was cold.

Kathy replied to Sue that she couldn’t help Sue.

Joseph didn’t come downstairs for lunch. Thinking that he didn’t eat anything, Kathy carried some food
to him.

Joseph was in the middle of a meeting, so Kathy did not disturb him.

Backing onto the French window, Joseph dressed himself with homewear. His profile was bewitching.

Kathy was absent-minded. Her eyes were always inadvertently drawn to Joseph.

Joseph’s eyes met hers. His thin lips curled up.

He then took strides with his long legs toward Kathy. Then Kathy was pressed against the sofa.

Her mind went blank. Next, before she could regain her senses, she was out of breath because of
Joseph’s kisses.

“Oh …”

She surrendered to Joseph, as always. Kathy submissively closed her eyes. Then she clasped
Joseph’s neck with hands.

However, clacks of footsteps came from afar. Lincoln’s voice sounded outside, “Buddy …”

Kathy widened her eyes. She immediately pushed Joseph away, but it was still too late.



Joseph held Kathy in his arms. At the same time, Lincoln pushed open the door and entered.

Lincoln’s voice came to a halt when he found out what Joseph and Kathy were doing.

“Fine, fine. I will leave you alone.”

“Speak or just go.” Joseph stood up. Joseph then assumed his usual stern and composing
appearances.

Kathy’s face turned red. She straightened herself up. Now she was going to leave as she thought the
two men may have something to talk.

However, it struck her that Joseph didn’t have his meal yet.

She couldn’t help but sink her face, “Joseph, could you finish your lunch first?”

“Women were troubles.” Lincoln said coldly.

Kathy frowned. It seemed that she did not offend him.

“You shall leave first.” Joseph’s expression sank as he immediately showed Lincoln the door.

“Buddy, you …”

“Get out!”

The study quickly resumed silence. Lincoln slammed the door, which gave a quite big shock to Kathy.

“Mr. Fletcher seems to be very dissatisfied with me.” Kathy frowned.

“Never mind!”

Kathy knitted her eyebrows. After all, being accused for no reason was not a pleasant experience.



Moreover, Lincoln and Sue seemed to be in a conflict, so it was difficult to angle some information from
Sue.

“Will you go to the Joseph’s Group today?” said Kathy, as she took a seat beside Joseph.

“Do you want me to go?” Joseph raised his eyes.

“You stay at home for me, don’t you?” Kathy blurted out.

However, she quickly denied this idea. She did not think that she was so much important for Joseph.

Joseph’s eyes flickered with acumen. He captured Kathy’s frustration.

Joseph then pinched Kathy’s chin. Kathy had no choice but to raise her eyes.

Joseph’s handsome face was so close to her that she began to be shy with a pounding heart.

She was actually looking forward to Joseph’s answer.

“What do you think, Mrs. Joseph?”

“How could I know that?” Kathy avoided Joseph’s burning gaze.

“Yes, I want to be with you.” Joseph admitted.

Kathy was baffled first, but her beaming smile was unconcealed. She looked up and kissed Joseph.

The sweet kiss was like honey, overflowing her heart.

In the afternoon, Joseph did his work in his study. Instead of disturbing Joseph in the same room,
Kathy chose to review her papers in the bedroom.



She kept an eye on the news about NCHV Medical Company. It was bleak. The stock price, which
thumped to the bottom, did not bounce back.

In the evening, she received a phone call summoning her to the police station. She had to help the
policemen with the record so that they could set out to investigate Sammy’s death.

As it happened, Joseph was going to the company, so Kathy hitched a ride to the police station.

Kathy was one of the few people Sammy contacted before she died. Kathy poured out all she knew
about Sammy, and then left.

At the gate, Kathy ran into Peter head on.

Kathy frowned and stopped.

“Peter.” She called him.

Peter indifferently narrowed his eyes, “What’s up?”

“Why did you do this?”

“What did I do?” Peter revealed a puzzled expression.

Kathy pursed her lips. She really wanted to hit the man and ripped his mask up.

“To give a blow to the NCHV Medical Company, you even take advantage of your mother.” Kathy asked
in a deep voice.

Peter did not change his complexion. He said calmly, “Kathy, be careful what you say. I do it for the
public good. As for my mother, she died innocently. Shouldn’t I investigate into it?”



“You know the truth very well.” Kathy debunked his claim.

Peter curled his lips indifferently. “The truth is that my mother died from the fake medicines developed
by NCHV Medical Company.”

“It is still under investigation. You may wait before you jump into the conclusion.” Kathy still kept her
stern face.

“Kathy, do you think NCHV Medical Company could recover? Don’t be childish. Maybe, you could
consider hopping to BT Group?”

“That’s impossible.” Kathy refused without thinking.

“Peter, sooner or later, you are bound to be punished.” Kathy said angrily.

Peter looked at Kathy’s back. His cold face did not change.

Be punished?

He already had his curses.

However, he had no way back.

Kathy came back to Joseph Bay and Angela had been waiting for her for half an hour. Kathy did not
know it.

Angela was worried about Kathy, because no one greeted her when she came to Joseph Bay.

She did not settle down until she saw Kathy, “It’s so late. Where did you go?”

“Mom, I just did the record with policemen. Why are you here?”



“I am so worried, because I can’t get you through the phone. Besides, I come to confirm something.
You won’t apply for the postgraduate study, will you?” Angela asked with a cold face.

Kathy frowned and remained silent.

She knew that her mother was against it, but she had already made up her mind.

“Kathy, your priority is to have a baby with Dr. Joseph. It won’t be late for you to pursue the
postgraduate study after you have the baby.” Angela suggested.

“Mom, neither Dr. Joseph nor I have a plan to raise a baby. Don’t worry, just let’s run our courses.”

“How could that be? Now I have the energy to help you with a baby. A few years later, I will be too old
to do that.”

“Mom, I’ve already decided it. I hope you could respect my decision.” Kathy now spoke with a stronger
tone than before.

Angela was stunned. She bit her tongue and swallowed down all the words she had planned to speak.

“I do it for your good.” After a long while, Angela stammered out a sentence.

Kathy lowered her eyes. Her heart was charged with mixed feelings.
