Chapter 84: 84 Joseph Became Drunk

"I ate all the steak. If you want to have some, we can order more," Kate said.

"No, I am not hungry," He replied.

"But you don't eat anything, not even the soup. You like steak; you should have some. And…" Kate quickly covered her mouth.

Oh no! I shouldn't have told him that I know he likes steak. It only proves to him that I know him and care.

Joseph looked at Kate lovingly. He knew that if he didn't say something, Kate would keep feeling embarrassed. He asked, "I am asking you, do you need more steak?"

"Mm…No…I…I'm full now." Kate nodded her head. To avoid looking at him, she shifted her focus to the soup on the table and said, "I…I will have the soup, though. Don't want to waste it."

"Don't force yourself to eat it. I am afraid you may overdo it and make yourself sick like last time," Joseph commented.

Kate put her spoon down and stared at him, "Last time was because…"

Realizing what he said, Joseph immediately apologized, "I am so sorry that I did not care about you enough before."

It had been several days since Kate's miscarriage, and both Kate and Joseph were heartbroken, but neither would speak of what happened. However, Kate was surprised that Joseph apologized. She smiled at said, "It was not your fault. The baby was in my stomach, and I didn't know. Plus, I was using the baby in exchange for my freedom. I was not a good mother; it was only right that…"

The atmosphere turned gloomy and uneasy.

"Let me take you home," Joseph said softly.

"Okay, thank you!" Perhaps it was to change the topic that Kate agreed so quickly.

When they walked outside, the streetlights were on. Kate didn't look at anyone as they drove toward her childhood home. She thought of how she and Joseph were so hateful toward each other, but after getting a divorce, they sat down and had a lovely dinner. He cut her steak and was even driving her home; it felt as if it were a date.

"We are here!" Joseph said.

Kate glanced at him, "Thank you!"

Joseph watched her rush out of the car and wanted to say something but didn't know what.

Kate dared not wave goodbye to him; she was too emotional when she thought that she might never see Joseph again. She ran into the house without turning around. When she got to her bedroom, she slammed the door and slid her back against it until she was on the floor. It was apparent that she could not forget Joseph no matter how hard she tried; the tears continued to flow down her cheek.

Joseph sat in front of the White mansion for a long time. He hoped that Kate would come back out and say that she made a mistake. He had given up when his phone rang.

"We got a divorce today," Joseph struggled to say the words.

"What?" Cassie snapped, "Do you want to be with Anna? Kate has done so much for you if you…"

Before Cassie finished her words, Joseph hung up the phone impatiently. He was already upset, so his mother's anger only frustrated him more.

Joseph's phone rang again; he was about to decline it, assuming Cassie was calling back, but it was Nick. He thought of how Nick helped Kate move; he decided to answer, "Hey, Nick!"

"Hi, Joseph! It has been a long time since we had drinks. Are you available?"

The thought of being drunk and forgetting all of his problems sounded wonderful, so Joseph agreed.

Nick texted Joseph the address of where he was and waited. He ordered wine and food so that it would be ready when Joseph arrived.

"You got here quick! I thought it would take you longer. Do you have other plans tonight?" Nick asked as he poured a glass of wine for Joseph.

"The first plan is to drink," Joseph laughed and chugged the entire glass. He picked up the bottle and poured himself another glass. He drank it down and was about to pour a third glass when Nick stopped him.

"I ask you out to drink with me, not to let you drink by yourself," Nick was afraid Joseph might get drunk.

Joseph ignored Nick and continued to drink.

Nick realized that something was wrong, "You are obviously upset. What happened?"

"I see that you have a close relationship with Kate," Joseph mumbled.

"Don't misunderstand why I was there. I just wanted to help Lisa; after all, she is Kate's best friend. Lisa asked me to help, so now you are mad at me? I don't have any romantic feelings for Kate. But, now that she moved, you will have privacy for you and Anna."

His words irritated Joseph. He stared at him and murmured, "You also think I am too hard on her?"

"I cannot say you are too hard on her, and you cannot force yourself to love her. You did only marry her to get revenge for Anna. There was no love between you, so the marriage was doomed from the start," Nick knew he was blunt, but Joseph had to hear it.

Joseph picked up one glass of wine after another. A few hours later, he was drunk and on the verge of passing out. Nick intended to call his driver to take him home but decided to call Lisa instead.

"What the f**k? Nick, why are you calling me at midnight?" Lisa was cranky.

Nick was frightened by her yelling, "Don't be mad, Lisa. I…I am drunk. I meant to call a driver, but I dialed the wrong number. You…You go on sleeping. Sorry."

"Drunk?" Lisa was afraid that something might happen to him, "Where are you?"

"At the inn where we often have wine. It is near to Kate's home…" Nick looked at Joseph and sneered, "Joseph is also here. He is drunker than I am…"

Since Joseph was there as well, Lisa decided to call Kate and pick them up.
