Chapter 641 Returning to the Quiet


    Kathy turned her face away and nodded slowly.


    The owner’s wife looked at Joseph with a smile. "As for men, take a cold shower in the courtyard."


    Kathy subconsciously looked through the window at the small courtyard. She suddenly smiled. Could


    the sheltered Mr Joseph endure bathing in the public bathroom?


    However, Kathy was also going to the public bathhouse for the first time. She felt fresh, but more


    intense.


    Because it was summer, there weren''t many people who came to bathe and there weren''t many people


    in the locker room, so she didn''t find any naked people.


    She had never had such an experience, so she felt as if she was a thief at this moment. She hurried


    into the cubicle with a washbasin and her clothes. She washed herself as quickly as she could and


    walked in slippers.


    The owner’s wife was waiting for him at the door. The two chatted as they walked, “Are you hungry?


    We can have meal when we get back. Joseph likes sweet and sour ribs the most. You can have a try


    later."


    Kathy put her wet hair behind her ears and nodded. After a moment''s indecision, she asked, "Madam,


    does hee here often?"


    "Once a year."


    "What is he doing here?"


    "Don''t all of you in town like to go on vacation? Drink tea, catch fish and eat some farm food."


    Kathy was silent. When she was with him three years ago, she didn''t know that he had such a habit.


    They used to go to high-end hotels when on vacation, but she didn''t expect that Joseph would like such


    a ce.


    The stic slippers creaked on the bluestone floor. They just happened to meet a group of children


    after school. They were chattering, and brought joy to the deste path.


    Kathy was preupied with her own thoughts until she returned to the small courtyard. When she


    opened the door, she was stunned.


    At this moment, sun went down. The bluestone b was wet, and there was a stic water dish


    casually ced on it. Joseph''s back was facing her, and his upper body was bare. He should have just


    finished taking a bath.

    The orange sunlight cast on his dark bronze skin. His skinny and powerful waist was loosely d in


    cotton pants. When he turned his head and saw Kathy, he was slightly stunned.


    Kathy didn''t even dry her hair. She was wearing a simple xen dress. She looked like a local woman


    here, her eyes sparkling.


    Joseph''s eyes suddenly showed a hint of joy, but he quickly became expressionless. He just walked to


    the room and put on a coat.


    Kathy stood in the courtyard. Instead, she shifted her gaze unnaturally. Her cheeks were slightly red


    because Joseph''s lean figure registered in her brain.


    It wasn''t until the owner’s wife came over and visited her for dinner that Kathy came to her senses.


    The dishes on the old dining table weren''t very rich. Sweet and sour pork ribs, shrimp tofu, fish head


    soup, every dish was delicious.


    Kathy kept her head down to eat while Joseph continued talking to the owner.


    When the owner of the home stayer mentioned his children who had worked outside in the early years,


    Joseph moved closer and listened attentively.


    When Kathy raised her head, she could just see his warm smile. She was stunned for a moment. She


    only felt that the current Joseph was like a gentle man from three years ago.


    During this time, the feeling he gave her waspletely cold and emotionless.


    "Alright, let''s y a game of chess after we finish the meal." Joseph smiled slightly. When he turned


    around and saw Kathy''s surprised expression, a rxed smile appeared in his deep eyes.


    Kathy thought she was wrong.


    After dinner, they ced the chessboard on the table, while Kathy apanied the owner’s wife to


    watch TV.


    The moment the television was turned on, Kathy was in a panic. What she suffered in the morning was


    still in his mind, but in the afternoon, Joseph had brought her into the mountain. She was clearly


    isted from the world.


    But of course the gossip wasn''t reported on television. Joseph said he would remove the news and


    Kathy subconsciously believed him.


    He always does what he says.


    Not far away, Joseph was waiting for the owner to move in chess. His eyes inadvertentlynded on


    Kathy''s side face. When he caught her rxed expression, his fingers tapped the table slightly. In this


    quiet ce, the sound was very clear.


    "You have to concentrate on ying chess!" The owner looked at Joseph and smiled. "Are you thinking


    about your girlfriend?"


    He came to his senses and just smiled as he calmly continued ying chess.


    The owner’s wife watched TV dramas every day. The costume drama that was ying was very


    attractive." Kathy, this heroine looks a bit like you."


    When the camera switched, the owner’s wife suddenly looked at Kathy and said.


    Kathy was stunned. Before she could say anything, a pair of hand was ced on her shoulder. Joseph


    answered. "They really look simr."


    She did not turn back or say anything. The owner’s wife quickly stood up and took another chair.


    Joseph sat down beside Kathy.


    In the television, there was a close-up of Annika. She had a slightly raised lip, a beautiful nose, and a


    very delicate face.


    Kathy looked at him indifferently and then looked away.


    "Why you didn’t continue to watch it?" Joseph''s deep voice suddenly rang in his ear.


    Kathy answered indifferently. "It seems like that she gets better resources after being with you."


    Her words were full of ridicule. In Kathy''s opinion, Annika used to be with Joseph, so now that she was


    able to y an important role in a TV series. Joseph must invest the money for her.


    She thought Joseph wouldn''t react to this. After all, Kathy didn''t think she was wrong.


    However, she could clearly see the anger in Joseph''s eyes. Fortunately, the owner quickly set up the


    chessboard for the second round and called Joseph over.


    Kathy pinched her forehead wearily and told the owner’s wife before returning to her room to rest.


    Behind her, Joseph looked at her back with a gloomy expression.


    The room was not air-conditioned because it was in the mountains. The night was quiet and cool.


    Kathy sat on the bed for a while. There was a damp smell in the air, and the faint smell of mosquito


    coils spread in every corner of the room.


    Such a peaceful environment was like an illusion for her.


    She had been in a bustling metropolis for too long. If Joseph hadn''t brought her over, she wouldn''t have


    had such an experience.


    At this moment, she felt a long-lost rxation.


    Suddenly, a wave of footsteps came from the stairs. Kathy subconsciously took a thin nket to cover


    herself and huddled to the very inside of the bed.


    Joseph''s footsteps weren''t very heavy, but when he sat down by the bed, the floor creaked.


    He turned off the light and carefully stuffed the mosquito under the mat before slowlyying


    down.
