Chapter 152 Jealous of Rowen

"Then why did you say he could have kidnapped me?" Kate questioned.

"Are you hungry?" Joseph tried to change the subject.

She touched her belly and said shyly, "I would like some porridge."

Joseph laughed to himself, he wondered if all girls in love sounded like a child when they wanted something. He liked it though, "Let's go to the porridge shop we went to the other day!"

"Great! Let's call Lisa to see if she wants to join us. I know she was drunk and is probably feeling uncomfortable too!"

"Mm… Where is Lisa? Why she is not here?" Kate was worried.

"She is at home," Joseph had received a call from Rowen, saying that he took her home.

"Thank you and I am sorry that we were trouble. You must be very tired after taking care of two drunk women," Kate apologized.

"It is my responsibility to take care of you. And, I wasn't the one who took care of Lisa," Joseph whispered.

"Not you?" Kate jumped up and rushed to turn on a light, "Is Lisa at home alone? It is not safe, she was drunk and may have fallen down."

"Don't worry, Rowen is taking care of her," Joseph said with a hint of jealousy.

"He is taking care of her?" Kate was still worried though, "I have to call Lisa to check-in."

Joseph did not stop her and waited for her to finish the phone call patiently.

"Hello?" Rowen answered.

"Rowen?" Kate asked in surprise and checked the screen to confirm that she did not dial the wrong number, "Where is Lisa?"

It was the first time Kate said his name out loud, he was thrilled. He gently replied, "I just fed her a bowl of porridge, she is asleep now."

"Thank you for taking care of Lisa."

"You are welcome. How about you?"

"Mm…I" She turned to look at Joseph, who was sitting on the sofa pouting, "I am good."

Kate was too embarrassed to say that Joseph, her boyfriend, was taking care of her.

Rowen wanted to ask if she and Joseph were back together, but after much hesitation, he decided against it, "Get some rest and don't drink so much in the future."

"I won't be drinking anymore. I don't want to do something embarrassing while I am drunk!"

"You are cute!" Rowen comforted her.

"Cute?" Kate said out loud but after seeing Joseph's expression, she quickly said, "I need to go!"

After finishing the call, Kate sighed with relief, "No need to worry about Lisa. There is someone taking care of her."

Joseph asked suddenly, "Why do you agree not to drink when he tells you but you talk back to me when I say it?"

Joseph looked at her but didn't say anything for a long time.

"What is the matter? I mean it," Kate was scared.

"Why didn't I realize how good you were at arguing before?" Joseph said calmly.

She stood up straight, tilted her head, and said, "You did not allow me to speak before. Now you listen to me, and understand that I have to express my own opinions."

He nodded clearly, "Now you can speak any time as you wish."

"Got it!" Kate replied to him happily.

"You said you are hungry; let's go and eat now," Joseph walked over to Kate and put his arm out for her to hold on to.

Kate held his arm naturally, and said with a chuckle, "I never expect that Lord Joseph would get jealous."

She had always been the jealous one, so Kate and Joseph both thought it was strange as to how much things had changed. When they were in the elevator, Joseph smiled, "I will forgive you this time. However, if you drink again, I will punish you."

"Oh," Kate blushed.

After dinner, Joseph asked her, "Would you like to see my new company?"

"Can I?"

Joseph rolled his eyes, "If you can't go, then who can?"

Kate's heart began to race whenever Joseph teased her but she was still concerned the happiness wouldn't last long.

When they arrived at the building, Kate exclaimed, "Wow! It is huge! It looks to be about the same size as my company!"

Kate thought it would be difficult for Joseph to start his own business so she was completely shocked when she saw the size of it. She asked many questions as she walked around with Joseph and John.

"Lady Kate, this is the headquarters, and there are several branches under it," John commented with a smile.

Seeing him, Kate was curious, "Aren't you the assistant to the president of Smith Group?"

John nodded and said, "It should be said that I am Lord Joseph's assistant."

She understood, "So after Joseph left, you also resigned?"

"Correct."

Kate appreciated him and smiled, "I like your bravery and I am glad that you make the right choice."

She understood that it was Joseph's personal charm that helped encourage John to leave.

"Thank you for your praise! Because of Lord Joseph's help and sophistication, I have been able to advance very quickly. I firmly believe that I will only continue to progress as I work with more excellent people. It is my honor to work for President Joseph."

"Are outstanding people always so humble?" Kate looked at Joseph.

Joseph also gave her a sarcastic look, "You are also very humble."

"Am I? Are you kidding me?"

John smiled embarrassedly at the words and said, "Mr. Smith, I'm going to get back to work now."

"Okay! Thank you, John," Joseph replied.

After John left, Kate took Joseph's arm again, "With John as your right-hand man, your business will become more and more successful."

"Nothing is better than the fact that we are together again," He sighed.

Kate looked at him and thought to herself. This man is emotional, I know him better now than when I was married to him. I never thought two people would get closer after their divorce.
