Chapter 200 Self-Control

"She is Daisy! I will not be angry my sister!" Kate snapped.

"But I will! No one should upset you!" Joseph said stubbornly. He did understand though why when he went to the White mansion to look for Kate, Daisy was angry. He just assumed that she had been lying for Kate, but it turned out they were fighting.

"I didn't tell you last night out of fear that you would act like this. I only told you because I thought you might not overreact today. I truly hope you will forgive Daisy."

Forgive her? Impossible! Joseph thought to himself. He knew that Kate was so kind that people would take advantage of her, he never expected Daisy to be one of them though.

"What are you thinking about?" Kate touched his cheek when she saw him deep in thought.

Joseph blinked and then looked gently at her, "Since you worry about me getting upset, why do you get into these situations all the time?"

"Don't be silly!" Kate put her arms around his neck and said with a big smile, "I love that you worry about me! I am happy that you care so much!"

When Joseph didn't respond, Kate laughed, "Okay, let's forget about it. Look at your eyes, you are exhausted. Go get some sleep!"

"And you..."

"Okay, I will lay down with you," She replied.

Immediately after she agreed to go to bed, Joseph carried her to the bed, then bent down over her. Kate held her breath and didn't move.

Seeing her nervousness, he smirked, "What are you afraid of?"

Kate's face flushed immediately. She turned her head away and pretended to be calm, "Nothing!"

"Really?" Joseph cautiously started to unbutton her pajamas.

Her body trembled. She turned aside and stared into his eyes, warning, "Joseph, you promised me!"

Joseph then bent lower and whispered, "I know!"

Then he moved to the bed beside her, and held her in his arms. Before Kate knew it, he was softly snoring, she looked at his handsome face and could not take her eyes off of him. She bravely touched his face, his lips, and his chest.

"You don't want to touch any lower?" Joseph opened his eyes slightly and smiled.

Kate was frightened and immediately pulled her hand away, "I… you… Ummm…"

She stuttered and before she could answer, Joseph rolled on top of her and gently began making love to her. It felt natural to Kate, she did not reject him but melted into his arms.

They spent the rest of the day and night making love and holding each other.

She tried to quietly get up out of bed, frustrated with herself. However, Joseph pulled her back into his arms.

Kate playfully pushed him away, "I have to get up!"

"Are you angry with me?" Joseph asked gently.

"Angry?" Kate was confused.

"I did not control myself and broke our promise," Joseph stated.

"It's not only your fault, I was involved. I did not control myself, either."

Joseph promised, "Believe me! I'm not an irresponsible person."

"I know that!" Kate thought his words were sweet and comforting.

Suddenly, Kate grabbed her stomach trying to keep Joseph from hearing the rumbles.

Joseph laughed, "I am hungry too!"

Kate got out of bed to get dress but pulled the covers over her so that Joseph wouldn't see her naked.

Reaching over Joseph yanked the blanket out of her hand, "Why are you still acting so shy?"

"I...I'm not," She denied and turned to see Joseph was getting dressed as well. She asked, "Are you not going to the office today?"

Joseph finished putting his t-shirt on and replied, "I am way too tired for that today. I am spending the day at home to rest."

"Are you so weak?" Kate teased.

"Am I weak?" Joseph emphasized the word weak, "Do you want to find out again if I am actually weak or strong, my future Mrs. Smith?"

"No... No..." Kate waved her hands at him.

Joseph said, "Go get cleaned up. I will go downstairs and make you breakfast!"

"You will?" Kate planned to cook breakfast for him.

"You don't believe that I can make breakfast? I guess I have to prove myself to you!" Joseph beamed with confidence.

In Kate's eyes though, there was nothing that Joseph couldn't do. It was as if he was invincible to her. As she thought of how wonderful he was, she washed her face and saw that her neck was full of red marks. She quickly grabbed her make-up to cover them before heading downstairs.

Joseph was in the kitchen already cooking breakfast, when she walked in and smiled. It was picture perfect to see him wearing an apron and frying eggs. Kate hugged him from behind and said, "I'm so fortunate to have such a handsome and gentle husband!"

Inside Joseph was ecstatic to hear such kind words from her.

"You must not be very particular to have a girlfriend like me, right?" She asked to see how he would respond.

"Maybe," Joseph replied restraining his smile.

"What?" She let go of him and put her hands on her hips, "Really? You mean I am not beautiful? Why you…"

Joseph leaned in and kissed her passionately.
