Chapter 77 77: Do Not Say That

Irish looked up to him. Joseph's words were a fight back against what Shirley had said. However, she would not thank him.

"Joseph is right. Isabel, maybe you like other dishes, and you can just tell me. I can ask the chef to make them for you." Henry added immediately.

Irish looked at the delicious food on the plate while Joseph was looking at her with calm but assuring power. She controlled her anger and said lightly, "You have no need to since every dish in this feast is excellent."

Henry turned to be upset, and William acted as a peacemaker, "Come on, let's have dinner together, or it may get cold."

They all began to obey his words.

The atmosphere seemed to be warm, but several elders had something on their minds. Only Ruby, Lilith, and Roy laughed and talked. Irish was as silent as Joseph, saying only a few words sometimes. Joseph acted elegantly and didn't eat much as usual.

"Joseph, something occurred to me suddenly." Ruby drank a mouthful of water and then looked at Joseph after putting down the glass, "Last week, I came to the club, and I intended to get a set of "Autumn Flavor" but it was out of stock. It was said that you...you bought it."

Irish stopped for a while but kept silent, lowering her head. It turned out that Ruby wanted it too.

"Yes," Joseph answered swiftly.

Ruby looked at him hesitantly, "So you..." She only finished half of her words.

Irish still didn't raise her head, but her ears tended to be sensitive. She wondered how Joseph would deal with this question.

"Oh, so you bought it for another girl you like? Ah, I got it. You're having an affair outside." Lilith said jokingly without considering Joseph's feelings.

Ruby looked at Lilith helplessly, "Do not say that."

"Joseph was not only tall, handsome, and mature, but also rich. Such a perfect guy will attract so many girls." Lilith bit her chopsticks and smiled at Joseph, "So, Joseph, you should be honest. Do you like other girls? A set of 'Autumn Flavor'. I also want it."

Irish couldn't help laughing, but she controlled herself successfully. She also raised to look at Joseph, waiting for his awkward answer. Joseph put away his tableware, appearing to be elegant and detached. He raised his head and smiled helplessly after meeting Irish's eyes. He seemed to figure out her real intention.

"I gave it to Irish," He answered directly.

Irish's smile disappeared gradually. Irish never expected that, so she hesitated and looked at Irish confusedly. Lilith didn't figure out the changes in the atmosphere, "That is unfair."

"The most suitable thing for Irish in the Runestone Group is that set of Jewelry." Joseph took over the tissue and rubbed the corner of his mouth, explaining it in a truthful way.

Irish didn't understand what he was talking about.

Henry nodded accidentally, sort of excited. And Ruby also felt happy, "Oh, Joseph. We had the same intention. I also wanted to buy it for Isabel."

Joseph smiled and then looked at Irish. This glance seemed to tell her not to play any jokes. Irish returned him a contemptuous look.

"Isabel, could you just stay here since tomorrow is the weekend?" Henry asked Irish. After all, Henry was old, and his biggest hope was to have his offspring stay beside him, although he had undergone so many difficulties in the past. "Joseph, you should also stay here. It would be best if you did not separate from Ruby since you are only married for a short time. Inappropriate as it would be, I hope you can have a baby soon as I am getting older."

Though Henry's request was reasonable, Irish still thought it was absurd. She showed enough respect since she had agreed to dine with them here, but how could he request her to stay here tonight.

Obviously, she wouldn't stay here for the whole night unless she was a fool. But she still controlled her compulsion and just kept silent with her eyes looking at Joseph directly. She was puzzled how he could live apart from Ruby?

She frowned slightly and couldn't help recalling the scene last Friday when she woke up in his lounge. She just thought he was a workaholic, so he usually stayed there, but now it seemed that things were not so simple.

Since he was a married man, why would he want to live apart from his own wife?

She remained silent, not because she wanted to be a filial daughter; instead, she concentrated on Joseph and expected his explanation and wondered if he would agree or refuse to do that. However, from his expression, Irish thought he might refuse, and then she could leave with him directly.

But he didn't say anything and just sat there motionlessly. On the contrary, Ruby felt awkward and said, "Daddy, if you want to be a grandfather, then you should urge Roy instead of me."

Lilith began to echo Ruby's words and said, "Yes, we should urge Roy to give a grandson to you."

Roy was shocked by them while he was eating quietly. He took a sip of water and then said, "I'm not even married, so you'd better expect that Ruby and Joseph have babies first."

"No one wants to free my worries," Henry sighed and went back to the topic again," Joseph, Ruby, you'd better have babies as soon as possible."

Joseph stopped eating and hesitated for a while, and then said, "Well, I'll stay here tonight."

"That's right," Henry was pleasant and then turned to Ruby, "Now that you are married, you shouldn't live with us and have to go back with Joseph tomorrow."

"Daddy."

"Joseph is busy with his work, and he needs a capable wife to help him. It's natural that you should take care of him," Henry interrupted her.

"Ruby, you have to listen to daddy," Shirley was very satisfied with Joseph, her son-in-law. She made a great effort for their marriage, so she would not allow Ruby to do what she wished without restraint. But after their marriage, Ruby always stayed at home on the pretext of not adapting to the post-marital life. Joseph never complained about it, and they just lived apart for a long time. But now Henry was worried about them, so she had to do something for them.
