Chapter 184 Fight Again

"Why?" Joseph snapped.

Kate squinted at him and questioned, "Do you forget what we said in the room?"

"Okay, go ahead," Joseph sighed, "I need to remember that you only have me in your heart, so I don't have to worry!"

"See, you do remember! Don't worry, I know what I need to do," Kate kissed him and walked toward Rowen.

Kate looked at the five empty beer bottles sitting on the table. She frowned and said, "Rowen, you will get drunk if you keep drinking this much."

She called the waiter over to pick up the bottles and took away the half-empty one in his hand.

Rowen was feeling a little tipsy and smiled, "Kate, don't be so silly! Give that bottle; I am not drunk yet. I can still drink more. Don't you remember that graduation party? Some boys were forcing you to drink, but I stopped them and helped you drink it!"

He belched proudly at the thought of the memory. The gentleman Kate knew was different than the one in front of her.

"That is the aftermath of drinking too much beer!" Rowen chuckled.

Kate shook her head and insisted, "Rowen, you can't drink anymore."

Rowen watched her for a long time before saying, "Okay, I will listen to you. I won't drink."

He then stood up from his seat and stumbled around. The waiter rushed to help Rowen, "Sir, do you need help getting back to your room?"

"Okay," He nodded; he had a long day and needed to rest.

Kate was relieved after he accepted the help, but suddenly he grabbed her hand.

Joseph had been watching everything from across the room. He had no objection to her speaking with Rowen, but Joseph could not stay calm the minute he touched her.

"Kate," Rowen seized her wrist tightly.

Kate was taken aback and quickly pulled away, "You drank too much, Rowen!"

"I did drink too much, but I know what I am saying. I want to tell you that I…"

"Take him back to his room now!" Joseph ordered and put his arms around Kate. He warned Rowen, "The so-called far competition does not mean you can put your hands on my girlfriend! If you do it again, I will not let you get away so easily!"

Rowen looked at Joseph and suddenly sneered, "Fair? If you did not force Kate to marry you, she wouldn't have suffered so much! You said you would just rely on her love. If you really love her, you should have cherished her before!"

Kate froze when she heard Rowen's confession. Lisa had told her that he cared for her, but she ignored Lisa's comments. Even when he and Joseph fought, she denied that she was the reason. She was afraid that if she admitted to knowing that their friendship would be affected and that she couldn't face him.

As the situation began to worsen, Kate realized that she could not go on pretending like everything was normal because Rowen was an extremely persistent person.

Lisa rushed over to try and diffuse the tension. She pulled on Rowen's arm, "You had too much to drink!"

"Lisa, you were hurt when Kate was bullied by Joseph before. My heart hurts just as yours did. You are afraid of him, but I am not!" Rowen shouted as if he was declaring war.

However, Joseph remained calm, with his grip on Kate never loosening as Rowen continued to ramble.

"Rowen, that is all in the past! Kate and Joseph are happy now. We should bless their relationship. Please don't embarrass Kate, okay?"

The flames of anger that were extinguished earlier in the day were burning hot again. Fortunately, Nick was strong enough to pull Rowen to his room with Lisa following them.

Ten minutes later, Lisa found Kate, who was still in shock, "He drank a lot. He fell asleep, so you don't need to worry!"

Joseph nodded and said to Noelle, "You and Lisa go back and have some more fun. I will take Kate back to our room."

"Okay," Seeing Joseph's worried expression, Noelle did not dare make a joke.

Lisa lowered her head with guilt, not wanting to face Joseph. If she hadn't invited Rowen to come, none of the fightings would have happened. She had been selfish when she asked him to go, never considering the conflicts between Rowen and Joseph.

After returning to the room, Kate took the initiative to hug Joseph and asked, "Are you angry?"

"Why would I be angry?" He wanted to comfort her, but she seemed to be comforting him.

"Over what Rowen just said," Kate whispered

"More guilty than angry," Joseph sighed.

"Promise me; it is all in the past. No matter what others say, you cannot take it to heart. We are together now and should only cherish the present," Kate assured him. She had angrily accused him and tortured him before, and he apologized for more than once. Their current situation was completely different; if they continued to live in the past, then it would only make it harder for their relationship to grow.

"Do you want to go back to dance with Lisa and Noelle?" Joseph asked, feeling guilty because Kate had a rough day.

She shook her head, "It doesn't matter where I go, just as long as I am with you!"

Joseph loved having her in his arms. He lifted her onto the bench by the window, "Open the curtains!"

"Huh?" With curiosity, she pulled the curtains open to see the night sky and city lights, "Wow! It is beautiful!"

"Over there is a well-known mountain range. At night, when all the lights are shining, it lights it up. That is the reason I chose this hotel, so we would be able to see it!"
