Chapter 59: 59 Walk Home

Kate wondered how he didn't find it spicy, or if maybe he was just good at hiding his reaction. She reached over and took a bite off Joseph's plate; it was so spicy that she began coughing.

Joseph thoughtfully handed her a glass of water, "You believe me now?"

Quickly, Kate drank the entire glass and wiped her watering eyes, "How can you eat that without being affected?"

"Aren't you always calling me an iceberg? That's probably why," He mocked himself.

In fact, it was so spicy that he had tears the first time he tried the meal. It took him many attempts to keep a straight face.

Kate shook her head, expressing her incomprehension, "Since we have the ability to react, then why should we limit ourselves? It could relieve a lot of stress."

She found that, even though she was probably watching him put on a show, she still wanted to care about him.

Since Kate brought it up, Joseph couldn't help but ask, "So, do you remember that you told me in the letters that you would come here to eat abnormally spicy food when you were unhappy?"

Her heart missed a beat, and she stared at him in amazement. Kate remembered, but she never thought that Joseph would. She had completely underestimated his subtleness, and with his simple words, her heart was open to him. Kate felt defenseless and started to think about the past.

"So, you have tried it before?" She inquired as she thought of how he ordered Amy not to make spicy meals. Kate laughed, "You don't allow Amy to cook with chili powder just because I like spicy food! You can actually eat it! It was just a game for you!"

Joseph didn't deny the accusations; he felt terrible, "I will allow you to eat spicy food from now on."

Allow me? Kate thought as her heart sank. She quietly replied, "No, I am used to our current meals. It would be such a dramatic change."

He hoped she would be happy, but she wasn't, which left Joseph feeling down. The sudden silence made the atmosphere even more awkward.

Startling both of them, Kate's phone rang, breaking the silence.

Kate looked and saw that it was Cassie; she suddenly remembered she never called her. She was about to decline the call, but Joseph said, "If it is Mom, you can answer it."

"Uh ...Fine." She picked up the phone and said embarrassedly, "Mom, I'm sorry..."

"Kate, is Joseph, alright?" Cassie was still worried, "I could not get through, and you didn't answer your phone. The servant at the house told me neither of you were home…"

"Mom, don't worry. Joseph is fine, he..."

Before Kate finished, Joseph took the phone from her, "She is with me. There really is no need to worry!"

"Here!" Joseph hung up and handed the phone back to Kate.

Kate nervously asked, "Mom's not mad, is she?"

"Are you not worried about my anger?" Joseph replied. He couldn't believe that she was on his mother's side against him.

"It is pointless if I am afraid that you are angry. You are usually angry at me all of the time," Kate mumbled.

There was another long period of silence before Joseph asked, "Am I a monster?"

"Well? I want to know!" He demanded when Kate didn't immediately answer.

Kate was confused; she asked, "Have you come to your senses?"

He didn't want to admit it and gave an irrelevant answer, "Let's go home!"

"But I'm not full yet..." She was too busy making fun of him and didn't eat all of her meal.

Embarrassment took over Joseph, and he was extremely uncomfortable, "Just eat then."

Kate was focused on her plate and didn't notice the change in Joseph as he looked at her. His eyes glimmered with affection as he watched the beautiful woman across from him.

"Why aren't you eating?" Kate looked up, feeling slightly self-conscious, "Or are you scared by the way I eat?"

"No," Joseph stopped staring at her and began to eat.

Once they left the restaurant, Kate felt sick. She suddenly said, "I ate too fast, and now my stomach isn't feeling well…"

"Are you alright?" Joseph sounded concerned.

"Uh, it's nothing," Kate covered her mouth and wondered if he was actually worried.

"Stay here; I will get the car."

"Okay," Kate whispered and watched him walk away. She felt as if it was a dream, like the married life she dreamt of. They had a wonderful dinner together, and then Joseph went to get the car to take her home, Kate smiled at the thought.

However, then she remembered, his heart was not with her.

Joseph picked her up, and they began driving. Kate knew she probably just ate too much, but her stomach was churning. She put one hand on her belly and the other to her mouth, then asked, "Can we pull over for a minute?"

Joseph glanced at her and saw the fear on her face. He frowned and asked nervously as he pulled to the side of the road, "What is wrong?"

As soon as the car came to a stop, Kate opened the door and began to vomit.

Immediately jumping out of the car, Joseph ran to the passenger side of the vehicle, handed Kate a tissue and bottle of water, and then rubbed her back, "Are you okay?"

Kate took a drink of water and slurred, "Thank you."

"Feeling better?" Joseph still frowned, "If you feel too bad to be in the car, we can walk home."

"Walk?" She felt much better after throwing up, but was still dizzy and didn't want to ride in the car.

"I'm afraid you'll be sick in the car," He helped her up and pointed in the direction of their home, "It is only about a ten-minute walk, at most."

"I can walk on my own," Kate said, not wanting to bother him.

Joseph glared at her, and his tone turned serious, "Do you think I would leave you alone to walk in the dark?"

Kate blushed, she used to hate saying he was bossy, but it was nice when he sounded like he cared about her, "But… what about the car?"
