Chapter 145 I Want to Do This for You

"Glib-tongued!" Kate had never seen Joseph be so cute and casual before, but it's quite interesting.

The weather was getting colder, but Joseph's getting warmer.

At the entrance of the White Group, Kate said goodbye, "Okay, after a great meal, you should go back to work."

"I will wait for you to go up before leaving."

Kate didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

"Did you forget something?" Joseph said.

"No." Kate looked at herself, but she didn't notice anything's missing,

"Okay." Joseph shrugged helplessly.

What did he mean? She stared at him blankly until he drove away.

The problem bothered Kate the whole afternoon. At last, she couldn't help but called Lisa for help.

Lisa was single, but when she was faced with Kate's love bewilderments, she acted as if she were a love specialist.

"Kate, do you have a zero IQ when you fall in love? Don't you know he implied that you've forgotten him or forgotten to give him a goodbye kiss?"

"Is it?" 

"Joseph was cold as an iceberg. It's not easy for him to keep in contact with you all the time right now. Don't waste his patience, or you'll regret then." Lisa worried a lot about Kate.

"Didn't you say I should test him for a while? If I agreed to be his girlfriend too soon, what if he doesn't cherish me?" Kate pouted and said, "Besides, we are not boyfriends and girlfriends yet, it's strange to have a goodbye hug or kiss with ..."

"Just think about what you've done in the cinema, didn't it mean that you've been together?" Lisa asked sharply.

Kate blushed when she thought of that kiss. But she still didn't want to confess it.

"We did kiss, but just kiss. It doesn't mean anything!"

She clarified to Lisa several times, but Lisa just didn't believe it.

"Yet it's only a kiss, but you didn't reject him, what does it mean? It means that you love him. It's more convincing than just saying ‘I love you' to him!" Lisa continued, "Come on, why don't you agree to be his girlfriend? Are you fond of having an affair with him?"

"I didn't want to have an affair with him at all!" Kate couldn't out-argue her best friend at all.

Lisa knew Kate well; she knew that Kate was always looking forward and backward in love. If nobody pushed her forward, she wouldn't take a step forward at all.

"Yes, what am I doing this way." She suddenly figured it out.

Hanging up, Kate sent another text message to Joseph, asking him if he had gone back.

Joseph called back directly. She looked at the phone and felt a panic in her heart as if holding a hot potato, she picked it up nervously, "Why...what's wrong?"

"Are you busy right now?"

"It's okay." She dared not tell him that she had been restless since he left.

"Did you miss me?" The sound was velvet, deep, filled with sin and just enough friendliness to cause Kate nearly faint and then open her arms wide and obey whatever that voice commanded.

"I..." When she was about to deny, she thought of Lisa's suggestions. She didn't answer his question but asked back, "Just now, you've said I forgot something, what did I forget?"

The man on the other end of the phone snapped his lips, feeling full of pride.

It seems that his words have worked in her heart, otherwise, why would she keep thinking about this question?

"You forgot to greet aunt Cassis." He teased her on purpose.   

"..." Kate got embarrassed immediately, and her pounding heart returned to normal immediately.

It turned out that Lisa was wrong and she thought about it too much.

Joseph didn't mean that at all.

God, what the hell was she doing! She should care so much about what he said. His words could annoy her all afternoon.

And the result……

"Uh..." She was disappointed but didn't forget to explain, "I intended to greet aunt Cassie but forgot because of your presence."

Ah, how could you say this? Obviously, it meant that you're so excited to see him that you forgot everything.

After speaking, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear in one second.

"Could I understand that in your heart, I'm more important than my mother? "Joseph asked complacently.

Kate denied it immediately. "Don't think too much. Aunt Cassie is more important than you. She had always cared about me, treating me like her own daughter, you..." She snorted and hit him unceremoniously. "In my mind, your status is just so-so!"

"..."

A sudden quiet appeared on the other end of the phone.

Was he angry and hung up the phone?

Kate wondered, but when she looked at the phone, it was still working.

Did I speak too much? Kate still worried a lot.

When thinking about it, she seemed to have committed the same mistake-duplicity. Although she remembered what Lisa said to her, she didn't do it.

"The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very important, a better relationship could improve the relationship between husband and wife." After a long time, a response to the other side of the phone occurred.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships?

"Hey, Joseph, don't talk nonsense!" She was ashamed and anxious.

"Mom is fine, so don't worry about her." Joseph changed the subject very cleverly.

She was too embarrassed to continue the topic and said dully, "yeah".

After a while, Joseph asked, "Do you have any plans tonight?"

"..." She thought for a while, and said truthfully, "Not yet."

Now that she wanted to give each other a chance to increase the relationship, she won't refuse to meet each other.

"Go home for dinner together at night," he said.

"Go home?" She questioned.

"You have always been a member of the Smith Family. There is nothing wrong with this." Joseph used an affirmative sentence, and he didn't feel that there was a problem with his expression at all.

Kate didn't know how to refute it, whatever it was, it made no sense to argue whether it's right in every sentence.

And once she's used to be double-minded, she won't get rid of it.

"Okay." She agreed.

At six o'clock in the evening, Joseph appeared at the entrance of the White Group.

After she got in the car, he held her seat belt hand.

Facing him suddenly leaning in and approaching, she was so nervous that her breathing became rapid, and her face blushed uncontrollably.

"Okay." After he fastened her seat belt, he returned to his seat and drove calmly.

She secretly took a breath and motioned for her to calm down.

Isn't it just wearing a seat belt? Why should you be so nervous?

But she could also tie it by herself, why does he have to do it for her?

He caught her puzzled eyes and said gently, "I want to do these things for you."
