Chapter 178: 178 Restless Sleep

"I slept with a sense of panic and precaution when we married, even in my sleep. I was in a constant state of fear. You always seemed to be angry, like a furious beast, and then…" Every time she thought of the past, the memories upset her so much that she couldn't go on.

Joseph felt guilty, yet delighted, "The good news is that you are not on your guard with me anymore. It is easy to be with me."

She was comforted, "Yes, that is exactly why I slept in a different position!"

"Don't worry, I'm willing to accept your different sleeping positions," He assured Kate.

As he drove Kate to work, Joseph was worried that she might not go back to his house that night. He deliberately hinted, "Now, that there is no maid at my place, how can I have you there for supper?"

"Don't worry, I will take care of it! Just go to work!" Kate told him.

"Okay," He nodded and felt much better after her reply.

Kate began to work the moment she walked in the door. The project with Cooper Group was going smoothly because of Joseph's plan and efficient support. Each day she was becoming more and more confident in her abilities, and could calmly deal with different situations without hesitation.

Both her professional and personal life were growing better by the day.

A few days later, as Thanksgiving Day was quickly approaching, Kate decided to call Cassie and invite her to dinner. However, Cassie turned down the offer, saying she had other plans. Kate was a bit confused but didn't think too much of it until Noelle arrived home from school for a visit.

"Kate, my mother and aunt warned me multiple times not to tell you and Joseph, but I need to tell you the truth. Aunt Gina and Grandpa, have kicked her out of the house. They treated her like trash, but I do not want you going to Grandpa's house. I don't like him either but there is nothing we can do!" Noelle complained.

"How is she doing?" Kate tried to hold back her emotions. She knew Cassie would do everything she could for her son, even if it meant suffering a great deal. She treated people well and always showed Vincent great respect, so it must have been horrible to be kicked out of her home.

Noelle explained, "Fortunately, she is staying with Aunt Jenny, or else things might have been much worse."

Jenny had never desired the Smith family property and could see everything from an unbiased point of view. The relationship between Cassie and Jenny had always been good, but there was always a tension between them and Gina.

She explained that even if Joseph was unfriendly to her, she followed him around, always feeling like he was a cold-hearted person with a kind heart, who would protect her.

"Kate, are you going to tell Joseph about this?" Noelle was much concerned,

"You know Joseph's temper. If he found out, he would do something and nobody in any house would have a peaceful life. You know that Grandpa is not such a good guy!"

"I will keep it a secret for the time being," Kate assumed that Cassie must have her own plan if she chose not to tell her son and therefore, Kate should respect her wishes.

"Thank you! You know Grandpa's temper. If we tell Joseph now, we will get nothing but anger from both of them," Noelle sighed.

Later that afternoon Kate and Noelle went to Jenny's home. When they walked in, she and Cassie were having a cup of tea.

"Hello! Guess who is with me?" Noelle exclaimed.

Cassie and Jenny turned to see Kate, they were completely surprised. Especially Cassie, she felt rather uneasy to see her.

"Hello, Aunt Jenny and Aunt Cassie," Kate greeted.

Jenny got up to give her a hug and said, "We were just talking about you! What a coincidence!"

"I had some free time, so I wanted to spend the day with Noelle," Kate looked at Cassie, "I wasn't expecting to see you here though."

Cassie felt her heart rate lower when she heard Kate's comment. It turned out she had been worrying for nothing, Kate didn't seem to know what had happened. Cassie quickly asked, "Kate, have you had lunch yet?"

"Yes," Kate replied and pulled out a chair.

"Cassie made the cake, have a taste," Jenny said and cut a piece for each of the girls.

"Wow, it's the best cake I've ever eaten," Kate said.

Cassie was very happy that Kate loved her cake, "If you really like it, I would make it for you every day."

"Really?" Kate blushed.

"Of course, you're not only Joseph's wife, but also my daughter."

"Yes, don't forget about your son, just because you have a daughter-in-law," Noelle added.

Jenny worried that Noelle might say something about Cassie staying with her, so she asked her to go to the kitchen to get some fresh fruit to go with the cake.

"Thank you so much, Aunt Jenn," Kate said.

"You're welcome, my dear. I'm happy to serve you, nobody else appreciates my service!"

Noelle added, "because we all like each other!"

"What a sweetheart," Cassie sighed.

"Don't envy me, it should be me that is envious of you! You have such a wonderful son and considerate daughter-in-law, you are the true winner!"

Cassie nodded to show agreement, then quickly asked, "Kate, will you and Joseph have a wedding? Even though you had one before, but…"

"Jenny, what are the latest trends for weddings? I know you attended last week," Cassie rushed to say before Kate could reply. She was worried Kate might be sad about being divorce, even if she would probably remarry Joseph sooner or later.
