Chapter 90: 90 We Are Strangers

Kate laughed, "It was just a miscarriage, no big deal. If I were still carrying the baby, I would not drink. Cheers!"

"Kate…" Lisa felt sad for her, and she clearly understood why she was acting strangely. If she had known earlier, she would not have agreed to the dinner.

Before Kate drank another glass of wine, Joseph grabbed her hand.

"Let go of me!" Kate stared at him and shouted.

"You can hurt me or yell at me, but don't hurt yourself!" Joseph said as he took the glass with his free hand.

Kate was irritated, "Joseph Smith, you know that we are divorced, right? You have no reason to intervene in my life!"

This man is ridiculous! He still thinks that I am his wife, and he still is trying to control me. Kate thought.

"You two, please don't argue! I have taken the liberty to invite both of you to clear up some misunderstandings. If not, I will continue to feel guilty," Nick said.

"No need to clarify anything," Joseph knew what he was going to say. He was upset about the situation, but he felt there was no use to discuss it further.

"But Kate doesn't understand," Nick looked at Kate and said, "Kate, Joseph drank too much last night, so he and Anna…"

"Nick, I have stated numerous times that Joseph and I are divorced. We are no longer in a relationship, and I expected them to be together. It is not a surprise," Kate said, then grabbed her purse and walked out.

"Kate!" Lisa followed her.

Seeing Kate leave, left Nick feeling even worse, "I am so stupid! I thought…"

Before Nick finished his words, Joseph also got up to leave.

"Kate, are you okay?" Lisa finally caught her up.

"Sorry, Lisa, I didn't mean to make things awkward."

"That's fine. I hope you will not blame us," Lisa felt horrible, "Let's go home!"

As they walked past the door, Joseph was walking out. Lisa stood in front of Kate as if she was trying to protect her.

"I will take you home," Joseph said to Kate.

"Take me?" Kate sneered, "As my husband or…?"

Joseph could not answer her.

"Joseph Smith, we are not married anymore. We don't need to pretend like we are close. I appreciate your offer to take me home, but no, thank you!" Then Kate pulled Lisa away.

Seeing Kate disappear into the dark, Joseph felt as if a knife pierced his heart.

Nick ran to catch up with Kate and Lisa, but they were too far away.

"Joseph, I really thought you might have been able to clear things up between you and Kate. Now, it seems…"

Suddenly, Joseph hit him, but Nick wasn't sure why.

"If you did not call Anna, then nothing would have happened!" Joseph was furious.

Nick stood up, holding his face and frowned, "I thought you were in love with her at the time..."

"Sorry, Joseph. After you reprimanded me this morning, I have been trying to figure out how to fix the situation between you and Kate. So, I invited Kate, but it seems that I have made things worse," Nick was filled with guilt.

Joseph calmed down and said in a low voice, "Even if this didn't happen, we are not likely to make up."

"Then how will you deal with Anna?"

Joseph did not answer him. He walked directly to the parking lot and drove away.

Kate was storming away from the inn with her arms crossed. She regretted what she did in the restaurant, but she was upset because she still cared for Joseph.

"Kate!" Daisy called out to her when she saw her walking in the dark. She had been sitting outside, waiting for Kate.

She looked at Daisy and asked, "Why are you sitting here? Did you have dinner?"

"I called you, but you did not answer. I was worried about you, so I sat here waiting."

Kate stroked her hair gently.

"I guess you didn't eat dinner, either. Let's go in and get some food!" Daisy took her hand and smiled.

"I am sorry, Daisy. I forget to tell you that I would not be home for dinner. I didn't mean for you to wait," Kate apologized.

"It doesn't matter. Please enjoy your meal. You must be very hungry!" Daisy put a bowl of soup in front of Kate.

"How do you know I didn't eat dinner?" Kate questioned.

Daisy put down her spoon. She was nervous because someone had called her, but she calmly replied, "Because of the connection between us. We grew up together, so we know these things!"

Hearing this, Kate felt moved. She said, "My mother always said that you would be a good wife one day. You could always cook, even at a very young age! Your future husband will be fortunate!"

Daisy felt shy and blushed. "Don't worry about me! I will take care of myself and find my Mr. Right!"

"You are just like my sister, so I should worry about you. If my mother were still alive, she would have found someone suitable for you long ago. Daisy, you need to think about yourself and not worry about me. You must seize the chance to meet someone you like or tell me," Kate said softly.

Kate felt relieved after changing the subject, and Daisy was touched, she smiled and nodded, "I will pay attention."

The next day, Kate got up to go to work at White Group. When she walked in, Leo's assistant stopped her, "Lady Kate, Lord Leo asked me to tell you that he will not be going into work today as he does not feel well. He requested that you do his work today."

Kate nodded and called Leo.

"I heard that you don't feel well. Is there anything wrong with you?"

"Nothing major," Leo replied.

"I'll call the family doctor to see you and make sure," Kate told her father, she was worried since it was her fault he was disabled.
