Kate stared at him, "I've said that it is none of your business. If you want to make things difficult for me so that you can get revenge for Anna, I will have issues. So, I hope you will be kind."

She spoke more confidently than before, Joseph noticed. He figured it was because she ended their marriage and was out from under his control. Regardless, in his eyes, Kate looked lovelier than ever before. He could see her true beauty that had been restrained by his cruelty and dominance.

"Let's have dinner together!" Joseph advised.

"Have dinner?" Kate was surprised. She asked curiously, "Do all divorced couples have a farewell dinner?"

Her words were so cute that he chuckled, "It is my first divorce. How would I know?"

Kate scoffed, "I am glad to be the first one. When you divorce again, you will have experience."

Joseph cast a cold glance at her and warned her, "Don't mention the word divorce from now one!"

Why did he not want me to mention it? Was it not what he wanted? Now that I have no connection to him, why should I have dinner with him? It would be the last time. Just look at it as a farewell dinner. Kate reminded herself.

Kate was lost in her thoughts and didn't notice the stair in front of her. She was about to fall over when Joseph reached out to grab her.

"Thank you!" Kate thanked him without hesitating. She thought Joseph would let go over her hand, but instead, he held it as they walked toward the restaurant across the street. Kate was shocked but didn't pull away from him.

When they were seated at a window table, Joseph pulled her chair out and let go of her hand. Even when he took his hand away from hers, Kate could feel the heat from it still on her skin.

The waitress handed a menu to Joseph. He said, "Give it to her!"

Kate stared at her hand but did not take it from the waitress.

"Ma'am, the gentleman has asked that you order," The waitress commented.

"Mm…Okay," Kate then looked away from her hand, feeling both shy and frustrated.

"A steak dinner; that will be all. Oh, wait, no potatoes."

Kate pushed the menu to Joseph's side and said, "It's your turn."

"You…" Joseph was going to ask how she knew he didn't like potatoes. But thinking about what she wrote in letters, he knew immediately.

"I don't like potatoes nor soybean products. If you like, you can order them. Anyway, it's your treat," Instead of admitting she knew he did not like potatoes; Kate said she didn't like them. Kate quickly took a drink of her water to cover her lie.

Joseph said, "We will also have two soups, please!"

When the waitress walked away, Kate asked, "Why did you order two soups? One would be enough! It is a waste of money."

"Okay, since I know you do not lack money. Then I will enjoy myself!" Kate chuckled.

"So, this is your true side?"

"Yes, now that we are divorced, I can be my real self," Kate smiled then whispered, "It was true that I love you, but I was also terrified of you."

"You were indeed in much pain being with me," Joseph sighed.

The awkward atmosphere became worse because of Joseph's words. Kate thought he would be happy to celebrate that they got a divorce. However, he looked upset, and if anyone else saw him, they might think he loved her.

When the meal arrived, Kate picked up her fork to cut her steak, but Joseph stopped her and, with his usual warning tone, said, "Have your soup first."

Kate wanted to eat her steak, but when she looked up and saw Joseph's eyes, she ate her soup.

"Can I have the steak now?" She asked naively like a child, with a smile on her face.

"Yes!" Joseph nodded and passed her back her plate.

"You cut my steak for me?" Kate looked at him and asked with uncertainty.

"Is there anybody else here except you and me?"

She wanted to ask why he cut the steak for her, but she thought she shouldn't. When she saw Joseph hadn't touched his food, she asked, "Joseph, why aren't you eating your dinner?"

"Does it matter to you?"

Then after a while, Joseph picked up his knife to cut his steak, then he put the plate in front of Kate.

"It's for you," Joseph said gently.

Kate was startled by his action. She was putting another bite in her mouth but stopped, she asked, "You don't want it?"

"I'm not hungry," Joseph replied, even though he was starving.

"O…Okay," Kate was lost in her thoughts again.

Why is he treating me so well? Did he start to love me? No, impossible. He only loves and cares for Anna. Don't overthink this. This is just a farewell dinner, probably for Anna's sake. It would be impossible for him to love me. Kate repeated over and over in her head.

"It was the first time someone cut steak for me. Thank you," Kate said, making how happy she was apparent.

Joseph felt embarrassed at first. He wanted to say it was his great honor, but finally said, "Then eat all of it!"

"Okay, then!" Kate nodded and ate her steak, ignoring Joseph sitting across from her.

When Kate was done, Joseph looked at her and then called the waitress to clean the table.

"Ma'am, you are so lucky to have such a handsome and considerate boyfriend. Usually, most customers cut their own steak. It is very seldom that I have seen men cut up women's steak. I admire you!" The waitress praised as she glanced at Joseph.
