Chapter 96: 96 Don't Talk Nonsense

"Do you need to stop studying just because you are an adult?" Joseph's tone sounded like he was her father.

"I ... I didn't mean it ..." Noelle's voice immediately got quieter as she spoke to Joseph.

Kate could feel the tension growing between Joseph and Noelle. They were brother and sister, but she had to do something to ease the atmosphere, "Noelle is an adult. You don't need to treat her like a child."

Joseph didn't expect to hear Kate supporting Noelle. He turned his head to look at her; Kate was worried.

Oh no! Is Joseph going to shift his attention to me and my lifestyle? Kate thought nervously.

Just as Kate thought she was going to be interrogated, Joseph turned back to Noelle and smiled, "Yes, she is an adult, and we should talk about something else."

Noelle was relieved, she stepped out from behind Kate and said, "Brother, I really sympathize with my future niece or nephew, having such a stern father. Thank goodness that my Kate is gentle, she will be a good mother!"

The atmosphere immediately became tense again. Joseph's face suddenly became stern, and Kate turned pale.

"Brother, I ... am I right? A family that has a stern father but a kind mother balance out. Children who are brought up in families like that are lucky!" Noelle didn't notice Joseph's change in mood and continued talking.

Kate thought she knew what Joseph was upset about, she smiled, "Noelle, you said in your last message that you have chosen to major in art. How do you like it?"

"I like ... like ..." Noelle replied while looking fearfully at Joseph, wondering what she had said wrong.

Joseph was worried that Noelle's comment made have upset Kate. He watched her closely until he was sure that she was okay.

"Your mother said you had a gift for drawing when you were young. It shouldn't be a hard subject for you to master," Kate said to Noelle, not realizing that Joseph was looking at her.

"Nothing is a problem if you enjoy it!"

"Yeah, as long as you enjoy it, no problem should seem like a problem ..." Kate whispered. Noelle's words warmed her heart.

"Just like the relationship between you and my brother. I remember when my mother told me he didn't like you, but you persisted and became his wife. Now, he loves you too!" Noelle was thrilled to use Kate and Joseph's relationship as an example.

"We..." Kate didn't know how to tell Noelle the truth. It was a difficult situation; Kate had always wished Joseph would love her like she loved him but never would.

"Noelle, I ..."

"Kate, Noelle, Joseph, there you are! I have been looking for the three of you!" Cassie rushed over with a smile on her face, "Dinner is starting! Hurry!"

"Have all guests left?" Noelle questioned. She didn't like being in noisy environments and hoped the guests would leave before they ate. She took Kate's hand, "Sister, we don't need to greet the guests, let's wait until they have gone home. I am not going in there with strangers. How can I happily sit down to eat?"

"Well ..." Kate had planned to go home early so that she was not embarrassed any further, but Noelle pleaded with her.

"Kate must be hungry. You can wait since you're not hungry, but Kate can't," Joseph knew Kate had to eat to keep up her strength.

"Actually, my Kate doesn't like places where there are so many people. As a husband, you should care about that!" Noelle barked.

Joseph looked at Kate hesitantly, as if he was waiting for her answer. Kate was a bit embarrassed to be sandwiched between the siblings. She looked back and forth and finally sided with Noelle, "I will stay with you, and we will eat later."

"Kate made her own decision. I did not force her!" Noelle smiled proudly.

"Aren't you hungry?" Joseph looked at Kate and asked.

"Not at all."

She was a little hungry, but Kate promised Noelle, so it was better to wait. Not to mention that she did want to be around a bunch of strangers, and it was even more awkward that her divorce from Joseph hadn't been disclosed yet.

"Okay, Noelle, you and Kate just stay here chatting for a little while longer. Joseph will go to greet the guests," As long as Kate was willing to stay at the party with the Smith longer, Cassie was happy.

"Just go ahead, I have a lot to share with Kate so don't disturb us!" Noelle giggled.

Before leaving, Joseph looked at the two, and talked to them as if talking to small children, "Don't run around, and don't talk nonsense!"

Don't talk nonsense? What does that mean? Is it a warning? Maybe he doesn't want Noelle to know about the divorce? Kate thought when she saw the warning in Joseph's eyes.

"Kate, does my brother treat you like a child?" As soon as Joseph was out of sight, Noelle started complaining, "He never used to say more than he needed to."

"He is saying more," Kate had noticed that Joseph was talking to her more since the divorce than in the entire two years they were married.

"That is good; it proves that he has opened his heart to you, and you will get to know each other better," Noelle knew that Joseph was in love with Anna before, but she never liked her. In her eyes, Kate was much better than Anna, even before they became close friends.

"No," Kate disagreed, she knew they were not together.

"Huh?" Noelle didn't understand.

Kate was about to explain but stopped when she thought of Joseph. Joseph interrupted her when she tried to tell Noelle the truth and reminded her not to talk nonsense before leaving. If she told Noelle, she would be upset about it, so it was better to wait and tell her.

"Noelle, the flowers over there are so beautiful. Let's go and talk a look," Kate changed the subject. Kate's suggestion instantly diverted Noelle's attention; she jumped up and ran into the flower field.

"These aren't a regular seasonal flower, so they seem to be extra precious. Look at how extravagant everything is. Grandpa is too old to enjoy the flowers, though, and most of the guests are inside; we seem to be the only ones enjoying them. I guess they just weren't worth the work!" Noelle said, gently touching the flower petals.
