Chapter 235 Lending his Coa

"I can joke with him about it, so I think he will get my point," Kate said proudly and decided not to be stressed by the situation.

It was very late when Joseph finally finished his work, and as soon as he walked out of the building, it started to rain.

"Lord Joseph, it's raining!" Alisia sighed helplessly as she stood beside him.

Joseph replied calmly, "There are umbrellas in the company's storage room. Go upstairs to get one."

"But I'm afraid of the dark..." Alisia buried her head and said in a weak voice, "Usually John leaves late, so he would go with me. But today, he left early. I am afraid."

The rain was coming down heavier, and there was quite a distance to the garage from the front of the building.

Joseph frowned slightly, took off his coat without saying a word, "Take it."

Alisia looked at the coat with a surprised expression and said, "Lord Joseph, you…"

"The rain will not stop for a while. Instead of spending time here, it is better to go home and get some rest," Joseph said coldly.

"Uh...Okay," Alisia nodded. She was thrilled and held Joseph's coat tightly with both hands as if it was a treasure.

Kate was lying in bed reading a book when she heard the sound of raindrops hitting the window. She put her book down, walked to the window, and opened the curtains. When she saw the rain pouring down, she immediately called Joseph.

"Don't worry, I'm on the way home," he said before she could even ask.

She breathed a sigh of relief and said worriedly, "Then drive slowly, I'll wait for you."

"Hey, go to bed if you are sleepy."

"No, I want to wait for you," She said stubbornly like a disobedient child.

Joseph said with joy, "Okay, you wait for me."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Kate ran downstairs happily. She stood at the entrance, where Joseph's slippers were neatly waiting for him, and fixed her eyes on the door.

"Lord Joseph!" Alisia ran all the way to catch up with Joseph. Seeing that he was about to drive away, she opened her arms and stopped in front of his car.

Joseph slammed on the brakes and shouted, "What the f**k are you doing?!"

Alisia was so frightened that she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Lord Joseph. I'm just so stressed out. My car won't start. Can you give me a ride? My house is on your way to your…"

"Get in!" Joseph had no patience to deal with her; Kate was at home waiting for him.

"Thank you, Lord Joseph!" Alisia opened the front door and was about to get in.

"Wait a minute!" Joseph stopped her.

Alisia took a breath nervously, "Lord Joseph, what's wrong?"

"Sit in the back," Joseph said coldly, "Only my girlfriend can sit there."

"Sorry to trouble you tonight, Lord Joseph," Alisia said to break the quiet atmosphere in the car.

"It is on the way, no trouble," Joseph answered her in a cold tone; his mind was on Kate.

Alisia pursed her lips, not knowing what to say next.

"Lord Joseph, when do you and your girlfriend plan to get married?" Alisia knew that Joseph had no interest in her, so she tried to find a topic that might get him talking. It was evident that the subject would be Kate, although she didn't want to mention her out of jealousy.

"That depends on her," He answered simply, but it was enough to Alisia's heartache.

"You are a genuinely great boyfriend. Your girlfriend was truly fortunate to have met you," Alisia commented, full of envy.

"No, I was fortunate enough to meet her and have her in my life," Joseph beamed.

Alisia's heart was being torn apart with the words Joseph spoke. Yet, she managed to smile and say, "Yes, you two are both very fortunate. It was a blessing. And, I am looking forward to hopefully attending your wedding soon!"

"Thank you," Joseph's tone was still cold, but his inner heart was happy after hearing Alisia's kind comments.

The rain outside was getting heavier. After Alisia got out of the car, she pointed to Joseph's coat and asked, "Lord Joseph, your coat is wet, I..."

"You can take it and give it to me later," Joseph replied and quickly drove away.

Seeing that Joseph was in such a rush to get home to Kate made Alisia even more envious. However, she looked down at his coat in her hand and sighed.

Joseph was thrilled to see Kate waiting for him at the door. She was wearing her pajamas, so he asked, "Why didn't you go to bed?"

Kate tilted her head and answered logically, "Of course I couldn't sleep without my boyfriend in bed next to me."

He reached out to hug her but realized his clothes were wet, so he stopped himself. He was surprised to see that Kate didn't seem to care and rushed to his open arms.

She laughed, "I know you are afraid of getting my clothes wet, but I don't care."

Happy to hear her comment, Joseph smiled but feared that she might catch a cold, so he said, "Let me change my clothes first."

"No!" She buried her head in his arms.

Joseph hugged her, "Okay, then we will get wet together."

She let go of him and looked at his wet shirt, asking, "Why didn't you wear a coat on such a cold, rainy day?"

"My coat is at the office…" Joseph whispered. He lied to avoid any misunderstanding between them.

"Next time, you better wear it when it rains; otherwise, you might catch a cold, no matter how strong you are," Kate reminded him.

"If I catch a cold, you are my medicine," Joseph teased.

"Don't be so disgusting," She grimaced and turned her face away before leading him to the bedroom.
