Chapter 414 Can&##x27;t Give Up

"Why are you the only one?" There was a dissatisfied look in Joseph's eyes.

"I'm ready to go too."

"Are you working late?" Joseph asked.

"Not really. I just didn't pay attention to the time." Kathy whispered.

Once she got focused, she always forgot everything around her.

She didn’t mean to work late. But by the time she got things done, it was already late.

"Or are you waiting for me?" Joseph, however, acted as if he hadn't heard her. He forced her almost to
the wall and then raised his long arm. Kathy was completely trapped in the crook of his arm.

She was almost indulging in the cold aura that belonged exclusively to Joseph.

She turned her head away, not wanting to look at him.

But he was holding her chin, and she had to meet his deep gaze. His black eyes clearly reflected her
blushing face.

His thin lips curled into a smile, "Are you afraid of me?"

"Of course not, Mr. Joseph, I just want to go back to school." Kathy scowled.

"I'm getting married to Ella tomorrow. Aren't you sad?" Joseph asked her in a grim tone as if he hadn't
heard her.

Hearing what he said, Kathy was still indifferent, "Mr. Joseph, do you want to see me cry? Sorry, you're
going to be disappointed."



At this moment, there was a cell phone ringing. It was Joseph's cell phone.

He frowned and took out his phone from his pocket. The caller ID was - Ella.

Kathy pushed him away hard almost immediately.

Only when she got to the door she found that it was locked.

She turned her head to find Joseph already picking up the phone.

"Joseph, are you still at the office? I haven't seen you."

"Yes." Joseph's face was cold.

"I ... want to see you. I'm so nervous ..."

She was so uneasy for the past few days. The wedding date was getting closer and closer, and
everything was ready.

But she couldn't even see Joseph once these days. Only she and Veronica were preparing everything.

"Ella, see you tomorrow."

After saying that, Joseph didn't give Ella another chance to speak and quickly hung up the phone.

While listening to his gentle voice, the coldness on Kathy's face gradually spread.

She took a deep breath and walked up to Joseph, "Joseph, what do you mean?"

"I want to hear you tell the truth." He looked deep into her eyes.

Kathy pursed her lips, "What truth?"



"I'm getting married. Are you really willing to see that?" Joseph cupped her chin, then bent down. All of
a sudden, their faces were extremely close to each other.

A little closer and they were about to kiss.

Kathy tried to step back, but Joseph's strength was too strong for her to break free.

Looking at the handsome face magnified in front of her, her heartbeat gradually missed a beat.

Of course, she was ... unwilling to see that.

But so what?

She smiled sarcastically, "Could it be that if I say I don't want to, and then Mr. Joseph won't get
married?"

Joseph scowled. He hated Kathy for calling him "Mr. Joseph".

He said in a low voice, "Call me Joseph."

Kathy ignored him. She pressed her hand hard against his chest, and her eyes were full of resistance.

"Well, I'm not getting married." Joseph's extremely good voice rang in her ears.

Kathy was dumbfounded. She looked at Joseph, trying to read his emotions.

But she really couldn't see through him.

The words "I'm not getting married" came out of his mouth too easily.

She couldn't believe it.

"Joseph, who are you fooling?"



"How dare I fool you? Kathy, why don't you ever want to believe me?" Joseph cupped her face. Under
his eyes was a burning heat that was about to explode.

Once he was near her, he could never control himself.

Just like now.

He just wanted to taste her with abandon.

But Kathy resisted.

Believe?

She had always believed the man in front of her. Only now that he was marrying Ella and everything
was set in stone, did she have to deny it all?

It was time for her to let go.

She had to tell herself this.

"That's what you should say to Miss Bridges." Kathy's tone was cold.

Joseph narrowed his eyes. Anger gradually surfaced from under his eyes.

"What if I don't?" Joseph sneered.

Kathy was intimidated by the man at this point. What was he ... angry about?

She didn't feel she had said anything wrong.

"Joseph, what the hell do you mean?" Kathy pressed against his chest.

The distance between them was too close now ...



"Trust me. Hmm?" He rubbed his lips against her cheek very intimately.

But at the moment Kathy was resisting so much. If he continued like this, it would be really difficult for
her to refuse him ...

She suddenly thought of the locked door. Looking at Joseph, her eyes became guarded, "Are you
planning to trap me here?"

"It's us." Joseph's tone was somber.

The next second, Kathy raised her hand and slapped his handsome face. She glared at him angrily.

Instead of getting angry, Joseph let out a low laugh, "I like to see Mrs. Joseph angry."

"I'm not Mrs. Joseph! Don't disgust me!" Kathy got even angrier, "I don't want to stay with you."

"You can only stay with me tonight," Joseph said coldly.

He held Kathy's wrists so that she could not escape.

Kathy's eyes went red at once. She gradually cowered, and she looked at Joseph with even more
resentment in her eyes.

Joseph looked at her. He had finally let her go.

Kathy ran to the door almost immediately, "Let me out!"

"Are you so unwilling to stay with me?" Joseph walked over.

He kept a distance of half a meter away from Kathy.

Kathy pursed her lips and nodded her head heavily.



Except that Joseph's low, muffled words from earlier flashed through her mind - I'm not getting married.

She smiled. Whether it was true or not, she no longer wanted to know.

Just let their relationship stop there.

"As you wish. I will marry Ella." Looking at Kathy, Joseph said furiously. He walked to the door and
easily cracked the fingerprint lock.

He left indifferently and arrogantly.

Kathy's heart ached. She slowly squatted down. Tears had long since spread across her face.

She couldn't do it.

She couldn't do it without any emotion at all.

It was not until she heard Joseph's words that she really felt her heart ache. She couldn't accept
Joseph getting married. She couldn't accept that the woman he was marrying was not her.

She dreaded to think of the image of their wedding tomorrow. Every scene irritated her.

"Don't go." She murmured subconsciously, but Joseph was long gone from the lab.

Only her very faint voice remained for a long time.

Around the corner, Joseph leaned against the wall. The coldness under his eyes raged.

He took a puff of his cigarette and walked slowly away with his long legs.

He didn't look back.



Kathy didn't know how she got back to the dorm. By the time she came back to her senses, she was
already lying in bed.

Zofia had gone back to the Marshall family tonight, and she was alone in the empty dorm.

Closing her eyes, she felt so tired and uncomfortable.

But she couldn't sleep at all. Tomorrow Joseph was getting married. Next to her was the invitation Ella
had given her.

She opened it and remembered the name of the hotel at a glance.

But none of this had anything to do with her.
