My Sweetheart
Chapter 247 Please Promise Me to Go

When Joseph came back three days later, Kathy was sitting on a recliner in the balcony to have a nap, the book in her hand off on the ground. Joseph opened the door to see Kathy sleeping peacefully.

She had too white skin which looked more radiant under the sunshine.

She wore her long hair down; the hairstyle made her face appear amazing and he was obsessed with it.

Joseph looked at Kathy quietly.

He bent over and raised his finger.

The moment he was touching Kathy, she opened her eyes.

In fact, she knew he was here as soon as he came in.

She only tried to avoid him.

When Joseph got closer, Kathy was some of nervous as well as at a loss about what to do.

She said, "You..."

Before she talked more, Joseph stopped her with one finger on her lips.

He started to say, "Kathy, I am home."

Then he gave her a soft kiss on the forehead.

Kathy felt so relieved to close her eyes.

Right now, Joseph moved his finger on her lips and put his own lips there instead.

He kissed her for a while and finished.

Kathy became too much blush for his kiss.

Her fingers were against his chest. She told him, "The maid will not be here tonight."

Kathy had always been to market and cooking by herself these days; she enjoyed the easy life.

So, Joseph asked her, "Are you going to the super market with me?" He was still in a suit and looked tired with dark circles under his eyes. Kathy should raise her hands, but got them back all of sudden.

"Sure." she answered simply with no special look.

It was a weekday when there were not many customers in the super market.

Kathy was aware how attractive Joseph was among the folk and she also became the central one of all to be with him.

They were around the fresh food. Joseph asked her, "What would you like to eat today?"

"Whatever. Up to you." Kathy answered. But Joseph knew much about her taste and bought a lot food catering to her.

She said, "Please buy something for yourself."

Joseph asked, "So, you will cook tonight?"

Kathy frowned and nodded after a couple of seconds, "Ok."

He was exhausted today for getting to Joseph Bay directly after the flight and soon coming to the super market with her.

Back to the community, they saw someone they knew very well waiting outside the lift.

Kathy was surprised to see Billy Hilton here.

Billy watched her to ask, "Kathy, when will you go home with me?"

Joseph felt kind of annoyed with these words.

Kathy answered, "I will go to visit Ms. Hilton on another day."

She had been always unsure about how to response to Jennifer Booth's hospitality.

Billy said, "Well. If you want to go, just let me know and I will come to pick you up."

Then he walked into the lift.

Kathy turned back to watch him leave. Just the moment, Joseph pulled her head back to make her look at himself; she found he got angry. Kathy asked in lower voice, "What happened?"

Joseph said, "I would not like you to contact anyone from the Hilton family."

"But Ms. Jennifer is my mother. How can I ignore her?"

"Do you know the reason she left you before?" Joseph asked her.

Kathy frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Jennifer had to give birth to a boy to share some property of her family. Unfortunately, you are not a boy."

"So, she abandoned me for some property?"

Joseph did not deny her saying, "That is my investigation, also the truth."

"I see. But it's nothing of you about how we get going."

"Kathy, I am worrying about you."

Kathy had eye contact with Joseph and said, "Thank you. I can manage it."

...

At night, Kathy was cooking in the kitchen.

Joseph was busy with his work by answering his phone continuously.

He took his jobs so seriously that those nothing to do with the work dared not to interrupt him in the duration.

Finally, she failed to cook any delicious food with these ingredients almost picked up by Joseph.

Kathy got badly upset by her failure to cook with the recipes from some App.

She was tidying up when Joseph was in the kitchen.

They would order some food later tonight.

He cuddled her to ask, "Why not tell me you cannot do it?" He did not intend to blame her.

Actually, Kathy would not like to talk much with Joseph.

He advised, "Well, let's dine out."

Yet Kathy had already clicked on the screen of her phone for some ordering App and stopped him.

She said, "You have to work later; I am ordering some food."

Just finishing the meal, Kathy answered a call from Sue.

She heard Sue speaking in rage on the phone, "Kathy, you know the bitch!"

Kathy did not get to know what she was saying. "Pardon?"

"Herbert! She tried to interfere with my issues and informed my grandpa! I'll make sure this isn't the end of it for her!"

Kathy felt sorry for Sue's suffering, "Sue, I think It's my bad."

Originally, Herbert hated Kathy, but now Sue was also involved in a trouble by Herbert.

Sue said, "No, it's not you. That bitch! Kathy, I will let her pay back once I am out of the Fletcher's house."

Sue was the one who never offended others before others offending her. It was Herbert who pushed Sue into a big trouble this time; Sue had to revenge for herself in the future!

Kathy said, "Sue, calm down. Why does Mr. Fletcher keep you stay in his house?"

Sue answered after a couple of seconds, "There will be an event in the evening of tomorrow and I am going to have an arranged date with somebody. Anyway, I won't have any feeling for anyone else. I will try to leave here tomorrow." There would be an annual event held by the Fletcher's family who invited their many friends and relatives to attend.

Joseph was also on their invitation list.

He cuddled Kathy to ask, "Could you go with me tomorrow?"

He heard what Kathy and Herbert talked about on the phone; he planned to attend the event with Kathy before.

However, Kathy had not decided to go with Joseph.

Now she worried about Sue.

Joseph became kind of aggressive with her, "Kathy, please promise me!"

Kathy looked down and remained silent.

Finally, she promised to go, but she still kept too polite with him.

Joseph seemed to be unhappy but did not talk anymore.

...

In the next morning, Kathy woke up being cuddled by Joseph.

She watched his good-looking face so close to her. She had to admit this was such a perfect man.

Soon she shifted her eyes and pushed him away slightly.

Joseph held her hands, at the same time put his lips on one of her ears.

"Kathy, I felt too awful without you these days."

On a business trip for half a month, he kept Kathy in his mind every second.

He was eager to cuddle her, kiss her and get all of her.

Joseph tried to keep Kathy stay here with him.

Kathy got to know Joseph's intention and would leave himself on bed.

In turn, Joseph pulled her back to him, not to allow her to leave.

He held her hands and turned over to make her lie under his body, watching her.

Kathy got unhappy with his move and stared at him to say, "Joseph, let me go!"

Joseph was not willing to force Kathy, only to say, "No. I just want to hold you in my arms. Please."

Instead of being forced, she received such soft words from him.

She could not move further and had a sobbing in the eye contact with Joseph.

Kathy turned to close her eyes to avoid his look, still feeling his breathing on her cheeks.

A moment later, she felt his lips getting closer to hers slowly; finally, he gave her a hard kiss.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
