Chapter 238 Tension Builds

Sure enough, when Daisy heard Anna's name, she cursed angrily, "That bitch is only taking advantage of her amnesia to win Kate's sympathy. Yet, I was the one who was kicked out!"

When Samuel saw her trembling with anger, he laughed, "Being angry is no use. Retaliation is the best way!"

"Retaliation?" Daisy sneered, "Kate protects her now, so I can't even get close to her. Since that last incident, Kate has lost all trust in me. She doesn't even want to talk to me."

Since Daisy was discharged from the hospital, she had been contacting Kate. However, she never received any response. She wanted to go to Aubi City to confront her but dared not to. If Samuel hadn't picked her up in person, she would not have had the courage to return.

"Don't worry. I'm here to support you. No matter how much Kate dislikes you, I will protect you," Samuel told her seriously.

His affectionate words left Daisy feeling slightly uncomfortable. She blushed and asked him, "Have you been drinking?"

"Do you think I would drive if I were drinking?" Samuel laughed, "Don't be so shy. You will hear much more later."

"What do you mean?" She was more doubtful.

"I need to keep it a secret for now. I will tell you after we get back to Aubi City," Samuel was not sure if she would agree to the plan, so he wanted to wait and tell her after they got to Aubi City and she would need his help.

"What?" Daisy was very curious and couldn't understand.

"I can only tell you that you must change your attitude and learn from the mistakes in the past!" Samuel looked at her affectionately, "This is the only way we can save ourselves!"

Daisy's curiosity took over her thoughts as she looked out the window, thinking about what was in store upon her return.

Kate was still furious about the incident with Joseph's coat when he texted her to say he was working overtime. She simply replied and went home to wait for him.

When she arrived, Cassie and Helen, the nutritionist, were waiting for her.

"Lady Kate, this is a healthy diet for you. Please remember to eat all of it," Helen said, pointing to the food on the table.

Seeing the food, Kate frowned and asked, "No peppers?"

"Mrs. Smith said that you like spicy food, so she asks me to add a bit to your diet. However, I think it is better for you to eat something light for dinner. I hope you will try it, and we can add a little pepper to your lunch tomorrow," Helen answered politely.

Kate sensed Helen's professionalism in her words and behavior; she seemed to love her job. Knowing that Cassie arranged for her to be there, Kate tried to be thankful, but she had no appetite for the food in front of her. She picked at it a little and then pushed it away.

"Sorry, Helen, I'm just not accustomed to it right now. After some time, I think I can adapt," Kate apologized. She was thin and didn't feel that she needed to lose weight, so she seldomly had a salad.

"I understand. It is okay, and I don't know what you like. After a bit, I can customize a diet for you," Helen said, taking away the plate.

"Lady Kate, she is not conditioning your body but helping you lose weight," Rena said after Helen left.

Kate smiled reluctantly and said, "But it is good for my health."

Since she promised Cassie, she had no choice but to follow along.

"Lady Kate, I made steak, do you want to try?" Rena asked in a low whisper.

"Emm…" Kate swallowed and shook her head, "No, thank you."

If Cassie knew it, she would be angry.

"Lady Kate, are you going to try to get pregnant?"

"I…"

"Even if you are, you don't have to eat so little. Peppers are fine to eat, and the meals I make seem to be to your liking," Rena said, sounding like a salesperson.

"Rena, save the dishes you made for Joseph," Kate said politely, not wanting to ignore her kind words. She assumed he was so busy with work that he wouldn't eat.

"Okay, Lady Kate."

Not long after Kate went to the bedroom, Joseph returned.

"Helen said that you didn't eat much for dinner?" His tone was full of concern.

Thinking of his coat, she pouted and said, "Have you heard that eating less in the evening is good for health?"

"Don't lose weight!" His tone suddenly became extremely serious.

She rolled her eyes and snapped, "Who said I'm losing weight? Or you think I'm fat and should lose weight?"

Joseph frowned and asked in confusion, "Did something happen? What has made you so unhappy?"

He knew clearly about her. Every time she bickered with him, it meant she was unhappy.

"Why would you think that?" She pretended as if she was fine.

"Last night when I came back, you were so happy that you wouldn't let go of me. But today, you won't even look at me."

"It was because you out in the rain last night. I felt sorry for you. It isn't raining tonight, so why would I hug you?" She snarled.

"You can only kiss and hug me when it rains?" Joseph stroked her face with his hand, speaking very softly.

Kate dodged and turned the other way.

"What's wrong with you? Are you angry because I work too late and leave you home alone?"

"No!" She barked. Kate actually worried about him working so late, but she wasn't about to let go of her anger.

"Then why?" Seeing her angry, Joseph was very flustered.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Rena knocked on the door and asked, "Lord Joseph, your supper is ready!"

"I will be there in a few minutes!"

"You have to go eat dinner."

"Do you think I can go downstairs to have dinner when you are clearly upset?" He stared at her and wanted to know why she was distressed.
