Chapter 61: 61 Dora's Regrets

"Your legs are okay, aren't they?"

"Nonsense!" Leo snapped at her angrily.

Dora reacted, and changed the topic, "Kate's antics have made my daughter sad again, and I have to think of a way to solve everything!"

Up until that moment, Dora didn't realize that she said something that she shouldn't have. She quickly changed the subject again, "The bitch Kate upset my daughter again! I will never forgive her! I would like to teach her a lesson!"

Leo looked at Dora and said sincerely, "Well, just forget it, Anna's still young. It's not a problem at all for her to find another young man. We'd better not cause any discontentment with Smith Group. You know that our company depends on…"

"Shut up!" Dora roared, "I never lost to Flora! How could her daughter take my daughter's man? I have to help her get him back!"

When Flora was alive, Dora was nothing more than Leo's mistress. It wasn't until Flora passed away that she was able to live in the house. It was a struggle to get her and Anna there; she wasn't going to lose it all because of Kate.

"Dora, be reasonable. Kate was forced to marry Joseph two years ago…"

"I know, just don't mention it. I really, truly regret that!" Dora felt that their plan was pointless. It not only sacrificed Anna's love but left her in the dark for two years. And, the only thing Dora gained was the control to manage White Group. The more she thought of what she had done, the more unstable she felt. She clenched her fists, "Kate, should voluntarily hand over White Group's property sooner than later!"

Leo knew that Dora was defiant and didn't want to provoke her further, so he kept quiet and went to sleep.

**It was raining the next day when Kate woke up. She rolled over when her alarm went off but didn't feel like getting up.

"Getting up?" Joseph asked cheerfully when he walked out of the bathroom, buttoning up his shirt.

"Yeah …" Kate answered sleepily.

Joseph noticed that she seemed a bit uncomfortable. He walked over beside the bed and asked, "Are you feeling better today?"

Kate was caught up in his gentle voice and, with her eyes closed, whispered, "Much better!"

"You should try to get some more sleep, though. I will have Amy bring you something to drink," Joseph said, looking at Kate's pale face.

Shocked by his sudden concern, Kate looked at him with wide-open eyes, "You… you…"

"What am I?" Joseph said, with his cold eyes locked on hers.

Kate blushed and clenched her pink lips tightly. She didn't dare to say anything, so she shook her head.

"Today's Saturday, you can sleep a little longer," Joseph reminded her.

Only when Kate realized that she didn't have to go work, did she relax.

After he put on his suit jacket, Joseph turned around to see Kate staring at him, "Do you want me to change in front of you?"

Kate quickly pulled her blanket up over her face.

Laughing, Joseph asked, "Is it necessary to be so shy? You have seen my body before."

Joseph walked out of the room, but Kate didn't hear him leave, so she continued to hide under the blanket. She slowly peeked out and sighed when she saw she was alone. She put her hand to her chest, trying to calm her pounding heart.

The rain outside was heavy, and the sky flashed with lightning as Kate continued to lay in bed. She wondered why Joseph was wearing a suit on a Saturday, could he be going to White Group.

Joseph walked back into the room, looking extraordinarily handsome and captivating. Kate could take her eyes off of him.

"Since you're so obsessed with me, why do you act so cold to me?" Joseph smiled and teased Kate.

"Well..." Kate swiftly rolled her eyes and smirked, "Obsessed with you? I just think that your tie is nice!"

Joseph glanced at his tie and then replied, "That is because it is me wearing it!"

"You are so egotistical!"

The relationship between Kate and Joseph seemed to be almost playful, without neither even putting in any effort.

"Get a good rest. If you have any problems, just let Amy know. I will be in Triton for business the next two days," Joseph informed her.

"A business trip?" Kate looked at him surprised, and almost asked why he didn't tell her. However, she stopped herself when she realized that they weren't close enough for him to tell her.

"The new project plan discussions and field visits… If things go well, I will be gone two days, if not, it will three or four," Joseph explained.

"Yeah…" Kate looked at him and wanted to say something to show her concern, but she swallowed her words. She was afraid that Joseph would take it the wrong way.

When Kate didn't say anything else, Joseph picked up his briefcase and walked out of the bedroom.

After lying in bed and thinking a bit longer, Kate got up and walked to the window. She sat quietly watching the rainfall; it was late in the Summer, so she knew the rainy season would soon be over and took it as a sign of a new beginning.

**

At Smith Group, Anna received a text from Amy. She was so excited that she immediately called her, "Joseph is really gone on a business trip to Triton?"

"Exactly. Lord Joseph told me to take care of Kate before he left.," When Amy said Kate's name, she emphasized her resentment.

"How could she get the man who belonged to me? She has to pay for this!" Anna said. She clenched her fists tightly the moment she thought about what happened the night before.

"Miss Anna, we have to think of a way to make her disappear completely; otherwise, she will become more arrogant. She has changed so much and will find fault with me when she finds out that I am helping you!"

"She is nothing but a villain who is pushed by determination!" Anna explained, "Didn't you mention that Alan loves her? Start with him!"

Anna hung up with Amy and called Samuel.

**

Kate had no plans to leave the house when it was raining; she decided to sit in front of the fireplace and read.

Amy took her a meal and observed her every movement. When the timing seemed perfect, Amy allowed Alan into the room. As expected, he ran right to Kate, showing her love and affection.

Kate put her book down to pet him, "Sweetie, I explained you need to keep your distance from me? Anna is back, why aren't you living with her? I am sure you must miss her!"

Even though Alan belonged to Anna, Kate had got attached to him, so it was hard not to play with him.
