Chapter 158 Red Roses

"Can I go out with you? I'm so bored at home. I have nothing to do except watch soap operas every day," Anna said as she squeezed her stomach, "I am getting fat. I will be a lazy, fat woman soon if I don't do something."

Kate thought for a few moments and then nodded, "Alright, you go up and change your clothes. I'll show you around."

"Wow, I'll go right away!" Anna jumped up and ran to her room.

Daisy didn't expect that Kate would take Anna out. She whispered, "Kate, haven't I reminded you enough? Don't be too kind to her. We still don't know if she has really lost her memory or not. If she sees that you are being nice to her, she may do something harmful that you will regret."

"But what can I do? Keep her in the room every day?" Kate asked. She knew that since Leo and Dora were arrested, there wasn't much trouble that Anna could create.

"Sister, I'm ready," Anna put on a mid-length trench coat and spun around.

"Hey, isn't that Kate's coat?" Daisy was furious to see Anna wearing it, "Take that coat off and put your own on!"

"I couldn't find mine," Anna whispered and lowered her head.

Daisy rolled her eyes, and sneered, "You and your mother were kicked out of this house. Of course, there is nothing here that belongs to you. It all belongs to Kate!"

"Sister Daisy, I don't know why you hate me so much, but I really want to get along with you. Please don't be so cruel to me. I'm so scared," Anna hugged her arms to her chest, then began to cry and tremble.

Seeing her face full of fear, Kate walked over to calm her down, "It's just tough talk. Daisy will not hurt you, there is no need to worry about it. We will go shopping!"

Although they were about the same size, Anna couldn't wear Kate's clothes every day. Kate, Anna, and Daisy all went shopping and then out for lunch.

Daisy complained as they walked, "Kate, she is not a three-year-old child. If she wants to go shopping, let her go by herself. Why do we have to be with her? I feel like we are her assistants. We have bought nothing for ourselves, it has all been for her!"

Kate laughed at Daisy's comments but did not say anything more.

On their way home that evening, Kate whispered to Anna and she nodded.

Seeing them whispering, Daisy felt uncomfortable, "I didn't know you two were getting along so well."

"Well, you are all sweaty from shopping. Go take a shower and relax," Kate encouraged Daisy.

Reluctantly, Daisy stomped up the stairs while Kate checked her phone. The number of missed text messages and calls shocked her. She immediately called back to hear, "I am outside of your house."

"My house?" Kate was surprised and went to the gate immediately to see Joseph standing next to his car.

She hung up the phone and walked over with a smile, "We just got home. When did you arrive?"

If Joseph was any shorter, he would have been overpowered by the copious number of flowers. Kate looked at them and asked nervously, "How many roses are there in there?"

"Too many to count!" Joseph exclaimed with a huge grin.

"Oh, wow!" It was the first time that she received such a large number of flowers, and it was from the man she was in love with. Kate was happy, yet she had to consider the situation. She looked at Joseph and asked, "Will you keep the flowers in the truck for now though?"

"Why? You don't like them?" He thought Kate was unhappy.

"I have a plan for later," She smiled and then leaned in to whisper in his ear.

After hearing Kate's plan, Joseph smiled and put the flowers back in the truck.  

Kate suddenly realized that after Daisy had her shower she would probably put her pajamas on, so she asked Joseph to wait outside. Daisy let out a loud sigh and turned to get changed when Kate explained that Joseph was visiting.

Anna asked innocently, "Sister's boyfriend? Do I know him?"

Kate looked at her and thought, maybe she lost her memory, especially if she didn't even remember Joseph.

"I'll go to change out of my pajamas, too!" Anna went back to her room.

After everyone was changed, Kate waved to Joseph that he could come inside.

Daisy said to Joseph, "I'm so sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Smith."

"It doesn't matter," Joseph replied.

Daisy watched Anna cautiously, fearing that she might get too close to Joseph. She pulled Anna's arm and said, "Come here and sit next to me."

"This is great!" Anna looked naive, "Sister Daisy finally seems to like me."

Daisy rolled her eyes, thinking that if it weren't for worry that Anna might cause a scene; nobody would want to sit next to Anna.

"Mr. Smith, Kate, I am so tired after a long day. I think I should go to bed," Daisy yawned after talking with them for a while.

"Sister Daisy, if you are sleepy, just sleep here for a while," Anna thought of what Kate had said to her and tried to stop Daisy from leaving.

"Why should I sleep on the sofa? Besides, I don't think we need to spend any more time with the happy couple," Daisy said and tugged on Anna's sleeve, "We are going to bed! Go back to your room!"

"Sister Daisy..." Anna looked embarrassed and asked Kate for help, "Sister Kate, what should I do?"

Kate knew that it would be impossible to get Daisy to change her schedule, it was her usual bedtime after all. She had to find an excuse, "Daisy, there is a basketball game tonight. I think the Lakers are playing, shall we watch it together?"

"Basketball game?" Daisy was uninterested, "Enjoy your evening, I have to go to bed now."

"Come on. If you are really sleepy, you can sleep here; it would be boring without you," Kate teased.

Daisy was stunned. She didn't understand, "Are you bored with your boyfriend? Joseph is here, I'm afraid he will be sad."

Joseph knew that Kate was making an excuse, so he didn't mind. He saw Kate was having a hard time convincing Daisy not to go to bed, he had to help, "Daisy, you are going to leave me here and go to sleep? Is that your polite way of asking me to leave?"
