377 The Right to Kiss My Wife
All the rest of the information on the page was about the Global Group, without a word on Joseph’s personal information.
Isabella typed in Charlie Wilson.
And she immediately found a page introducing Charlie in detail.
The page started with stories about how Charlie started to do business in various fields after the new state was founded, how he earned money, how he created value, and how he became a successful man. Isabella was impressed. Then, she went to the part of Charlie’s personal information.
“The family members of Charlie Wilson: Wife, 2 sons, 1 daughter.
The eldest son, Harvey Wilson, deceased.
The second eldest son, Michael Wilson, was the executive president of the overseas branch of the Wilson Consortium.
Daughter: Fiona Wilson, deceased.”
Isabella gaped in shock.
.....
She had never thought about investigating the Wilson family. Because she always thought the Wilson family was different from most rich and powerful families. The Wilsons didn’t put on the air or make her feel nervous. Although Joseph had a temper, he was not the overbearing type that would bully or insult the weak. He was simply bossy and masculine.
As for Charlie, he was affable, without the arrogance that a consortium founder usually would have.
Isabella googled the old man because she wanted to know about Joseph. She was surprised to find that two of Charlie’s three children were dead.
Joseph had just turned 30. If Joseph’s father were alive, he would have been 50 to 60 years old. He died at such a young age...
Thinking of Charlie’s dignified but caring look, Isabella could not help but sigh softly.
The biggest pain in this world was for a parent to watch his or her child pass away. The poor old man had been through it twice. How much despair had he suffered before he learned to calmly face reality like now?
Isabella fixed her gaze on the words “Second eldest son: Michael Wilson”, thinking something. In other words, only one of Charlie’s three children was alive. He was Joseph’s uncle. How come the old man and Joseph never mentioned him once?
Did they have a falling out?
No, it couldn’t be; otherwise, Michael wouldn’t be in charge of the overseas branch.
When Isabella clicked the name, she found that the page gave no personal information about Michael other than a title, just like Joseph’s page.
“These guys are good at keeping a low profile. I can’t find anything...”
As Isabella was thinking, the door opened. Joseph walked in sullenly. Isabella hurriedly turned off the computer and put it aside. “What’s wrong? You look pale.”
“What are you doing?”
Joseph crawled onto the bed and hugged Isabella.
“I was reading the news.”
Isabella sensed something weird about Joseph. “What happened? You seem upset. Are you angry about your work?”
“No, I just don’t want to work. I want to take a rest.”
Joseph rested his face against Isabella’s shoulder like a child throwing a tantrum. “I’m sure that I want to sleep with you badly right now. I want to hug you, kiss you, and make you blush and beg me to stop. I can’t concentrate on work.”
“Joseph, can you make it sound a bit romantic? I don’t feel like talking to you at all...”
“Dear, I love you. I want to be with you.”
Isabella was stupefied for a moment.
“Come on. Doctor Morris said that I have to rest today. William mentioned that you have several things to take care of. If you keep stalling, your subordinates will be pushed to the edge. Go to work.”
Joseph blinked unhappily. “Even a king would need to take a few days off occasionally, not to mention that I’m a civilian.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. William’s anxious voice sounded outside. “Mr. Joseph, why did you leave in the middle of the meeting? Mr. Jackson said that they need your decision on a very important project plan.”
Joseph raised an eyebrow in disdain.
“Tell them it’s time for them to prove that they deserve their paychecks. I’m leaving them to be in charge of everything in the next few days. If Grandpa asks, just say that I have to save my strength to make a baby.”
Isabella remained silent.
And so did William.
When Isabella came back to her senses, she immediately covered Joseph’s mouth and scowled at him. “Don’t be so shameless. You’re embarrassing me!”
“Shameless?”
Joseph looked at Isabella’s blushing face and let out a mischievous laugh. He lifted her chin. “Let me show you how shameless I can be.”
Joseph reached his hand under Isabella’s clothes.
Isabella was caught off guard and screamed.
“What are you doing?” She hurriedly covered her clothes.
Joseph giggled.
Joseph pressed Isabella against the bed and smiled. “You know the answer to your question. Come on. Smile for me.”
William probably heard the noise inside and felt embarrassed. “Mr. Joseph, goodnight. I will tell your father what you said.”
“Wait! William!”
Isabella called out to William and pushed Joseph away. She turned to Joseph. “What should I do about you? How about I got to work with you? It would be embarrassing if your grandfather found out about this.”
Five minutes later, Joseph sat in the study and Isabella sat on Joseph’s lap. They worked together.
Joseph would kiss Isabella once every five minutes, otherwise, he would not be able to concentrate.
The two signed the document together and made changes to the project plan together. Finally, they had a short video conference with the foreigners overseas.
At 11:30 p.m., Joseph finally started to wrap up his work. Isabella’s lips were already swollen.
The two were about to return to their bedroom together.
Isabella stood up and touched her lips. “If your subordinates knew that you were holding a woman in your arms while working, they would mock you behind your back.”
Joseph sorted the document on the desk and then caught up to hold Isabella’s shoulders. “They know. We were holding a video conference just now. They saw everything.”
“What?”
Isabella was shocked. “You said you only turned on the microphone and that they couldn’t see us.”
“Well, I was afraid that you would flip out if I told you the truth.”
Joseph calmly stretched his arms and opened the door, heading for the bedroom.
“Gosh...”
Isabella didn’t know how to feel when she realized that she and Joseph had kissed every five minutes in front of so many people. She caught up with Joseph. “You told me that you were very serious about your work. You are kidding me, aren’t you? You wouldn’t let your subordinates see us kissing, right?”
“I am at my home, not the company,” Joseph said in a gentle but bossy voice. “Do I need their permission to hug and kiss my wife at home?”
Isabella didn’t know what to say.
