For a moment, Josephine felt a bit dizzy.
She felt as if she had truly married the man she loved, and the man lying beside her also loved her sincerely.
But soon, the sound of a phone call interrupted her thoughts.
Stuart didn't open his eyes; he reached for the phone and answered,
"Hello?"
After hearing the other end, Stuart got up, "Doris, don't cry, I'll be right there."
The blanket slipped off, revealing his perfect chest and abdomen, his broad back, and narrow hips.
Josephine sneered, snapping out of her reverie, and kicked Stuart with her healthy leg.
Stuart was completely unprepared; he was kicked and fell to the ground, looking at her in a daze.
"Who allowed you into the bed?" Josephine's voice was cold. "What did I say last night? Didn't you promise me?"
After hearing Stuart's faint grunt, Doris anxiously asked, "Are you okay?"
Stuart spoke into the phone, "I'll call you later."
He hung up the phone and looked at Josephine, "Are you out of your mind?"
"I say, who allowed you into the bed?" Josephine gritted her teeth. "Why don’t you keep your promise?"
"Do you think I want to get into bed?" Stuart got up, pointing at the sofa. "The sofa is wet; how could I sleep on it? If it isn't for Grandpa's suspicion, do you think I want to share a bed with you?"
Josephine looked over and indeed saw the overturned water glass.
She asked, "Are you the one who knock it over?"
Stuart said coldly, "Am I that bored?"
Josephine frowned.
She felt confused because the room was cleaned every day, and the maid would not overlook the spilled water cup and the wet sofa without tidying up
She didn't notice it when she came back last night...
Stuart interrupted her thoughts, "I'm leaving now. If Grandpa were to ask later, tell him that I had gone back to the company for something."
Josephine looked at him expressionlessly.
Stuart didn't say anything more and went to freshen up.
Josephine took a deep breath and lay back.
Indeed, the fantasy she had when she woke up in the morning was impossible.
After Stuart freshened up and changed his clothes, he walked to the door and then turned around to look at her. His expression seemed a bit unnatural, but with his usual cold demeanor, any difference would be imperceptible.
Seeing him hesitate to speak, Josephine took the initiative, "Do you have anything else to do?"
Stuart averted his gaze before saying, "I will ask Charlie to buy a purse and have it delivered to you."
Charlie was his assistant, and Josephine had met him before. He was the one who bought small cakes for Doris.
Josephine sneered and said mockingly, "Charlie is a graduate of a prestigious school. Isn't it inappropriate for you to have him do such things?"
Stuart looked puzzled and asked, "What things?"
Josephine found it boring, "Nothing, you can go. Wait, you said you want to buy me a bag? Why?"
Stuart seemed a little annoyed and said, "Forget it if you don't want it!"
It was only after Stuart left that Josephine reacted.
Stuart wanted to buy her a purse to please her.
Or he wanted to apologize to her?
Did he think that buying purses would make her feel better?
How could he have such a misconception?
Josephine quickly understood why Stuart had such thoughts.
Yesterday, Josephine took a day off, and today, she was going to the hospital.
As a result, when she finished work in the morning and was ready to go to lunch, Robin came to find her.
Liam went to find Stuart and showed him the video from the dashcam. Although they fought, it turned out that the photo was indeed taken out of context.
Stuart wanted to apologize, but he was embarrassed and didn't know how to face Josephine, so he called Cliff, inadvertently revealing Josephine's injury.
Given Cliff's personality, he would definitely let Josephine return to the Haustia Manor.
Stuart contacted Robin later and scolded him.
Robin learned the truth and felt that he deserved to be scolded.
Therefore, Robin came to find Josephine again.
Josephine felt annoyed when she saw Robin.
She had never liked him since they were children.
Robin still remembered how he bullied other girls when she was seven or eight.
Since then, she has had a bad impression of him. Moreover, Robin later befriended Stuart and did many terrible things together.
In short, they were not good people.
"Josephine." Robin leaned against the door frame, twirling his car keys, calling her name.
Josephine glanced at him and quickly looked away. "If you have something to say, just say it."
She seemed impatient, which made Robin angry. "What's with the attitude?"
Josephine put away her pen and took off her uniform jacket. She maneuvered her wheelchair and said, "Please move aside."
Robin, seeing her serious expression, couldn't help but speak, "Josephine, do I owe you money?"
"Have you forgotten what I said last time?" Josephine coldly replied, "Or do you want me to repeat it?"
Her previous words, expressing her dislike for him, had already hurt Robin deeply.
Only then did Robin remember why he had come here. He took a deep breath and said, "I sent that photo to Stuart, but I didn't take it. Since it was a misunderstanding, I apologize to you."
Josephine looked at him in surprise. "Apologize? I don't deserve your apology."
In Josephine's impression, Robin was the kind of bad boy who would bully girls and engage in all sorts of misdeeds.
Even as he grew up, he remained despicable.
Josephine didn't want to have anything to do with him. After Josephine finished speaking, she wanted to leave, but Robin blocked her way.
The two of them were in a deadlock when someone nearby said, "Robin?"
They both turned around and saw a man in camouflage. The man was tall and handsome, exuding a military aura.
"Jair?" Robin's voice held a hint of surprise. He walked over and punched the man's shoulder, asking, "When did you come back?"
Jair nodded slightly at Josephine before looking at Robin and said, " I just got back. I came to visit."
"No wonder I haven’t heard about your return!" Robin said with a smile. "How long will you stay this time?"
"Three days," Jair replied, then turned to Josephine. "Josephine, why are you in a wheelchair?"
Josephine greeted him, "Jair, I accidentally sprained my foot, but it's nothing serious."
Jair was a friend who grew up with Stuart, too.
Although Jair was friends with Stuart, it was strange that he also had a good relationship with Josephine, Liam, and others. He was the only one among Stuart's friends who showed kindness to Josephine.
"Why are you here?" Jair asked Robin. "Is your friend unwell?"
Robin decided to cut to the chase, "Since we've bumped into each other, how about grabbing a meal together?"
Jair asked Josephine, "Are you free?"
Josephine shook her head directly, "I'm busy. You guys go ahead; I have something to do."
