Chapter 156: 156 Display of Love

"I'm glad that you know," Joseph put a glass of water in front of her, "Drink it!"

"Come on! Can you two consider our feelings? We are single," Lisa complained deliberately, but she was honestly happy to see them showing their love for one another.

Rowen was upset and drank multiple glasses of wine until Lisa took the bottle from him and joked, "Don't think that just because this is my treat, you can drink as much as you want. If you get drunk, I can't carry you home."

"I won't get drunk enough to pass out," Rowen commented on his own ability, but Lisa and Kate felt extremely embarrassed.

To ease the tension, Lisa took the opportunity to pour another glass of wine, "Lord Joseph, I would like to propose a toast in your honor. First, congratulations to you and Kate, I hope you will treat her well for the rest of her life. Second, thank you for your suggestions to improve the business at my tea shop."

"You're welcome," Joseph smiled.

Joseph helped Lisa with her tea shop? Why didn't he tell me? Kate wondered.

"I'm sorry for getting Kate drunk. I was in a bad mood," Lisa apologized.

"It's okay, I think it was meaningful. She was drunk the first day we officially started dating," Joseph teased but Kate felt uncomfortable.

"I heard that you stopped Rowen from taking Kate home. Rowen was terribly scared," Lisa laughed, but nobody else thought it was funny.

"What? I didn't know that," Kate really didn't have any memory of what happened. She looked at Rowen, "Is that true?"

"Before Mr. Smith took you to your office, Rowen was helping you out of the restaurant. You and he ran into Joseph and then he helped you," Lisa added.

Kate was a little embarrassed. Her face gradually became hot, and she finally understood why Joseph mentioned Rowen and was jealous of him.

"Mm..." Kate held up the water glass in front of her and apologized, "I'm sorry Rowen, I drank too much..."

Rowen felt Kate's politeness only increased the distance between them and her actions made it obvious that she only regarded him as a friend. He knew nothing had changed over the years, Kate only had Joseph in her heart, there was no room for him. Rowen was frustrated, yet he still smiled and spoke from the bottom of his heart, "It doesn't matter. Your well-being is the most important thing."

"Thank you," Kate always regarded him as her friend, so she did not think anything more about the situation.

Joseph was jealous and he clearly sensed Rowen's provocation. He was aware that she had a boyfriend, yet he was speaking affectionately. Joseph held up his glass and said, "Of course, she is safe by my side. I should thank you for taking care of Kate, even though it should have been my place."

Lisa realized Joseph and Rowen's commented were becoming heated, she looked around and quickly said, "Our meal is here! It is time to eat!"

Kate also said as she touched Joseph's arm, "Yes, let's eat something, okay?"

Hearing such a gentle tone, Joseph's anger disappeared instantly, and he smiled pleasantly, "Okay, my dear! I will listen to you."

Then he clinked glass with Rowen and said, "Drink the final glass, and then we shall start our meal."

Rowen did not want to ruin the evening, so he nodded in agreement.

Kate could clearly feel the tension in the air, but she could not say anything out of fear of embarrassment. Rowen had never said he liked her, Lisa only joked that he did so she never took it seriously. Even as she heard his comments, Kate didn't believe that he liked her. She thought they were friends and that he was defending her for how Joseph had treated her in the past.

After an awkward dinner, Kate and Joseph left in one direction while Lisa and Rowen took a taxi the other way.

Joseph took out his phone to call Henry, Kate quickly said, "I will drive since you were drinking."

"You?" Joseph looked at as if she had two heads, "Can you drive? How long have you had your license?"

"In the two years we were married, I drove often on my own. Have you ever worried about me before? You want to know how long I have been driving? I don't care to tell you!" Kate snarled and held her head in the air.

Suddenly, Joseph's face turned gloomy. He apologized, "I was wrong before, but in the future, I will pay attention."

Kate was amused by Joseph's words, "I can see it now, all across the front page of the newspaper, it will say: Joseph Smith, admitted to his girlfriend that he made a mistake."

Joseph was amused by Kate but he still had his phone in his hand to call Henry.

"You really worry about my driving?" She asked innocently, "I can drive slowly. I will take you home."

He shook his head and smiled slyly, "I have other ideas."

"Other ideas?"

"Henry will be here in about an hour. Let's go for a walk," Joseph replied.

But, Kate was still very curious so she continued to ask, "Which idea?"

"You'll find out later," He smirked

"Fine then!" Kate snapped. She suddenly thought of Lisa's shop, she gave up asking him about his idea and then asked, "Why didn't you tell me that you helped Lisa?"

"Will you thank me if I tell you?" Joseph asked holding her hands tightly in his.

"But you should tell me even if you don't want me to thank you."

"I just didn't want you to be worried about her, so I helped because of you. Do you understand?" He touched the tip of her nose like she was a little child.
