Kate realized that Samuel was holding on to her wrist. She saw Joseph glaring, so she pulled it away, fearing Joseph would misunderstand.
Samuel looked at her, "Kate, you are injured. Let me take you to the hospital."
"I'm fine, thank you though," She then turned around to leave. However, the moment she walked away, Joseph walked over and took her hand, pulling her out of the noisy karaoke bar.
"Joseph!" Anna could not believe that he took away Kate and ignored her again.
Samuel looked at Anna with smug satisfaction and laughed at her, "It seems that Joseph didn't even notice you!"
Anna stared at him and shouted, "It's all because of you! You should have hugged and kissed her in front of Joseph."
"I am not as evil as you are. I love Kate, and I do not want to get her by playing games. That man hit her hard, and so did you. I will not let either of you get away with it!" Samuel said fiercely.
Anna was frightened to step back. She thought for a minute and said, "But…But you arrived in time. I'm sure she must be grateful for your help."
"I hope so," Samuel calmed down a little.
"Samuel, you should not give up. We both should fight for the one we love," Anna encouraged him.
"I will not give up!" Samuel replied to her.
Kate walked quickly to keep up with Joseph's pace, though there was a pain in her leg. Once she got out of the hotel, she could not keep quiet, "Let go of me!"
However, Joseph gripped her hand tighter and walked faster.
"Joseph, my leg is hurt," Kate shouted.
Joseph stopped but did not loosen his grip.
"You went behind my back and met Samuel! You should be happy," Joseph snarled at Kate.
Kate realized that whenever Joseph found her near Samuel, he would become angry as if he was jealous.
"I…You…" Kate stammered.
Joseph did not have the patience to listen to her. He picked her up and put her to the car. When they arrived home, Joseph carried her to the living room and then said, "Come to the room, right now!"
The commotion startled Amy; she asked, "Lady Kate, are you fighting with Lord Joseph?"
"He is just jealous," Kate answered proudly.
"Jealous? Of whom?" Amy asked again.
"Of a handsome boy who talked to me," Kate did not want to tell her more, so she went upstairs.
Amy stood frozen, not knowing who Joseph was jealous of, but she was jealous of Kate.
When Kate entered the room, Joseph was sitting on the bed waiting for her. Kate limped to the sofa and sat down, touching the wound on her shoulder.
"Why did you go to a karaoke bar?" Joseph interrogated her, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Kate's attitude irritated Joseph. He calmly asked, "Did you go there on a date with Samuel?"
"How about you? Were you also there on a date with Anna?"
ALSO? Oh no! I must be crazy to say that. It sounds like I just admitted I had a date with Samuel. I said the wrong thing. What should I do? Kate was stunned.
Joseph suddenly pressed her against the sofa, bent down, and asked, "Why did you meet him?"
His sudden approach scared her even more. She was terrified but also very attracted to his handsome face, she wanted to pull his lips to hers, but she resisted.
"Answer me!" Joseph shouted at her, anxiously awaiting her answer.
"It's none of your business," Kate replied, then suddenly, Joseph kissed her. He seemed to be angry still because his lips were extremely rough on hers.
After several minutes, Kate's lips were bleeding, and finally, Joseph pulled away from her. However, he did not get up; he laid on top of her with his face very close to hers. Kate could feel his breath and could clearly see the rage in his eyes. So, she just lowered her head, not daring to look into his eyes.
Perhaps Joseph realized that he could not get an answer from Kate, so he gave up. He stood up and pointed his finger at her, "My mother wants you to keep your distance from Samuel. You should obey her. After all, you cannot live up to her expectations."
"Why…Why would you mention Mom? It's none of her business. Don't get her involved in this," Kate thought Joseph was acting ridiculous.
Joseph did not know why he threatened her with his mother. Perhaps it was because he had no excuse, "You don't need to know any more about my family. However, if you cause any trouble for my mother, I will not let you go."
When Joseph left, he slammed the door; Kate didn't know what to do. She thought to herself.
Shit! Why did I have such bad luck today? When I was being beaten, Joseph wasn't around, but Samuel came to save me. Then Joseph thought that he and I were bullying Anna? Was it a coincidence, or did someone plan that?
Kate's phone rang, the caller ID showed it was Samuel. She hesitated and wondered if she should answer it or not. She decided to only because he did help her earlier in the evening.
"Kate, are you at home now? Does Joseph misunderstand what happened? If he did, I could explain to him in person."
"No, he didn't misunderstand. He thanked you for your saving me," Kate knew that Joseph hated Samuel. If Samuel explained to him, he would only misunderstand more.
"That's fine," Samuel heaved, "Did you go to the hospital? You seemed to be badly injured."
