Joseph was a man who never expressed his thoughts to others. So although Irish knew something serious had happened between Joseph and Leo, she had no idea how to ask him.
After hearing this, Joseph tightened his arms with his chin against her head.
"Nobody can restrain me except you," said Joseph softly.
His words warmed Irish, and then she huddled in his arms, listening to the beat of his heart.
Before she got married, Irish often misunderstood Joseph's love. But after their marriage, she always felt every word of him was from the bottom of his heart, just like what he said just now.
"How is Lilith going these days?" Joseph asked since he knew Irish went to visit Lilith.
Irish said nothing but heaved a sigh.
Joseph grinned at her and told her not to sigh so frequently. "Don't heave a sigh like the old."
"It is because life is not tranquil," said Irish.
Joseph patted her head gently and said meaningfully, "Everything will get better, and no one's life always goes smoothly."
It seemed that he referred to himself but also referred to Irish.
Staring at him for quite a long while, Irish then said, "But Lilith is innocent. She shouldn't have suffered from so much pain."
Irish shook her head slightly and then continued, "But Lilith refused to go to the rehab. My heart was almost broken when I saw her in pain."
"Perhaps she doesn't want Jay to see her hysterical look when drug addiction occurred to her," Joseph hit the mark with a single comment. After a small pause, Joseph then added, "Lilith looks delicate, but she is stubborn."
Leaning on his chest, Irish nodded slightly and said, "I know what she was thinking, but I think she is in a poor mental state, so I am worried about her."
Saying this, Irish paused for a while and then continued, "Do you think it is impossible to convince Lilith's parents to trust Jay?"
"It is hard to say," replied Joseph directly.
Irish furrowed her eyebrows and said nothing.
"Lilith is hurt by the drug dealers because of Jay. I believe that he will be responsible for Lilith," said Joseph softly to comfort his wife.
Irish didn't reply but sighed again.
"Let's go out for dinner," said Joseph, who patted her shoulder at the same time.
Joseph had made a reservation in a restaurant with a nice environment.
Joseph was a man who was censorious in the dining environment, and he disliked eating in a noisy place or in a restaurant with a poor service attitude.
Although Joseph was clear about Irish's dining habits, he would hand the menu to her first. Irish took over the menu and then looked through it.
However, she didn't order a dish after the waiter waited a long time, and then she complained about Joseph.
Joseph would then take over the menu, and then he ordered exactly what she liked.
Irish once asked him why he liked eating at the gourmet restaurant since she thought he just wanted to show his social identity.
However, Joseph's answer shocked her. "It is because the gourmet restaurant could tolerate her fastidious dining habit."
Irish felt warm, but he answered and held his neck with a big smile. "Joseph, you are considerate to me. I like you to help me make decisions when I can't decide what to eat."
Joseph grinned at her and then responded, "That's why I have to choose a restaurant with a good service attitude, or they must get mad at you."
Thinking at this, Irish couldn't help laughing.
"Irish, what are you thinking?" Joseph was aware that she was lost in her thoughts.
Irish came back to the earth and smiled softly.
"Joseph, I am thinking that we don't need to eat in a restaurant because I am free from working now. And I can cook for you."
They were always busy with their work before and had no time to cook at home. Although Mia was cooking for them every day, Joseph didn't like an outsider taking part in their private life. That was why Mia had to leave at a certain time, and she often left after preparing dinner for them. But generally speaking Irish and Joseph would go back home late, and both of them lost appetite for dinner.
But now it was different because Irish didn't need to work, and she had time to cook various delicacies. No matter how late Joseph came back, Irish would cook his favorite dishes for him.
At the very beginning, when Irish lost her job, she often felt flurried and had a feeling of unreality because she didn't want to be a housewife, but time changed her mind gradually.
Now Irish still enjoyed her full life, but the focus of life was different now.
Joseph was pleased to hear this and then stared at Irish with a soft smile.
"You look like an understanding wife now," said Joseph.
"I am always an understanding wife. But you realize it so late," said Irish, like a spoiled kid.
Joseph felt so relieved, and his eyes also smiled while Irish flushed soon when she realized Joseph was gazing at her.
When they were enjoying their beautiful moment, a woman's voice interrupted the tranquil.
"Hello, brother! What a coincidence to meet you here!" said the woman in a sweet voice.
Irish felt unpleasant since she didn't hope other women to be so intimate with her husband.
Looking up, Irish found Rosy smiling at Joseph.
Irish then remembered that she always called intimately.
What an annoying woman!
"Irish, you are also here! You are getting more and more beautiful!" continued Rosy.
Irish held back her anger since she was relieved by her compliment for a little bit. Taking a glance at Irish, Joseph laughed in his sleeves.
"Well, thank you for your compliment," replied Irish in a casual tone.
"I am telling the truth," said Rosy. She then walked to them, sat down, and continued, "I am sorry that I didn't attend your wedding. I hope you have a harmonious union lasting a hundred years."
After hearing this, Irish felt perhaps Rosy was making trouble here.
"Do you have a date here?" asked Joseph. It seemed that he didn't hope to be disturbed.
Rosy nodded and responded, "Yes, but he has not arrived yet."
Her implication was that she could stay here for a while.
Irish took a glimpse at Joseph and waited for his reply.
Irish wanted to see how he would respond to Rosy in front of his wife.
