My Sweetheart

Chapter 111 Inextricable

Joseph held her hand as they walked out of the shop, but they weren't walking towards the exit of the mall.

Kathy looked at him all puzzled, "I thought we are going back."

"Are you hungry?" asked Joseph.

Kathy's stomach growled at the very moment, she made some porridge for Alexia but she didn't eat anything.

Joseph smiled plainly, he led her to a western restaurant with a terrace.

They had never eaten out together before, now that they were walking through the crowds in the mall towards the restaurant hand in hand, it felt like they were on a date.

A date with Joseph. It felt so out of place yet she was looking forward to it.

The view from the restaurant was terrific, the French windows made it possible to see the river that was flowing through City N, the scenery was stunning.

Kathy felt a bit unnatural. There was candlelight on the dining table and it made it feel even more like a date because of the candlelight dinner.

As usual, Joseph was calm and quiet, he ordered some dishes and proceeded to pour Kathy some wine.

"Thank you," she pursed her lips. In the flicker of the candlelight, the man looked handsome and mysterious.

"Do you like it here?" asked the man.

Kathy nodded, her eyes filled with joy, "Of course I do, it feels so romantic here."

When the steak was served, Joseph cut them into smaller pieces for Kathy. She was really enjoying herself and felt very pampered.

She stared at Joseph, he appeared elegant and refined as he dined, it was clear that he had a good upbringing.

"Dr. Joseph, did you grow up overseas?" Kathy couldn't help but ask.

Joseph was keen on English cuisine, the food he ordered just now was mainly British flavoured as well.

"Yes, I was 7 to 8 years old when I first moved to Country C. I just returned to City N last year."

"Was it to become a doctor?" Kathy said abruptly.

She knew that Joseph's family was pretty influential, though after Joseph became a doctor, it seemed like he cut ties with his family and had nothing to do with the family business anymore.

But she wasn't completely sure about it.

"I was studying medicine in Country C. My ambition had never changed ever since I was a kid." Joseph grimaced.

Kathy stared at him, she felt jealous but admired his will.

What he possessed was something that she once dreamt of having.

But she took a wrong turn, and things went downhill after that.

Though looking at the man now, she felt like she wanted to go back on the track again.

"It seems like you have a smooth sailing life." she sighed.

Joseph reached out his hand and held her hand, "Life is never smooth sailing, what you see now it's just me after rolling through all the punches."

"I want to know about your past, I want to know more about you." Kathy's eyes were hot and passionate.

She wanted to get closer to the man and know everything about him.

Even though she knew that there was a possibility that their relationship wouldn't work out, but it was like poison and there was no antidote for it.

Joseph raised his head and met her eyes after hearing what she said, his eyes filled with impenetrable emotions.

"Kathy, if you want to, I would like to bring you to meet my family."

Joseph brought up the matter himself this time around.

Kathy bit her lips, she suddenly pulled her hand back. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"And your parents?"

"They have their own business in Country C, I haven't seen them in years."

"But they are your parents. Why would you not meet them?"

She quickly realized that Joseph's facial expression turned solemn, it even felt like there was a hint of hatred.

Kathy's heart hurt, she stopped asking about it.

Maybe, this was Joseph's scar.

Though, he answered her question, "I'm not important to them."

They left the restaurant after finishing their meals, Joseph walked in front. Kathy pondered for a brief moment and walked up to hold his arm.

"Do you want to go shopping? You are too nice, I wish you would indulge yourself and let me spoil you a bit more." Joseph stared at Kathy affectionately.

He gave Kathy a black card, but she only used it once and she bought him clothes instead of buying herself something.
