Contract Marriage with Devil Billionaire

"What?" Kate was taken aback by his sudden caring words, "You…"

"I…What do you want me to say?" Joseph looked at her inquisitively.

As Kate realized he was not going to defend Anna, she decided to play along.

"Of course, I'm hungry, especially since I have been sleeping for a while," She glimpsed the time on her phone.

"Err…I…How I…" She stammered. Kate wanted to ask how she got to the bedroom but thought it was not necessary.

"Ask Henry," Joseph read her mind but did not give her any answer.

"You mean Henry carried me here? How could he do that? He is so tiny, and I am so big," She retorted.

Joseph still didn't tell her anything, he just rolled his eyes, which left her even more confused.

"Did I say anything wrong?" She asked but he still did not reply, he just walked out and shut the door behind him.

After dinner, Kate limped toward Henry in embarrassment, "Henry, you should have woken me up. You didn't need to carry me upstairs. I am too heavy."

"Lady Kate, I don't understand what you are saying. I did not carry you," Henry was confused.

"No? Who took me to my bedroom then?" She asked curiously.

"It was Lord Joseph! He did," Henry told her what happened.

She was very surprised at his answer and froze for a moment.

"Lady Kate, are you okay?"

"I…I'm okay," She now understood why Joseph rolled his eyes at her.

However, she still did not believe Joseph would do this and be so gentle to her, though his attitude towards her really changed in the last few days.

Since Kate had a long nap, she wasn't tired and decided to sit and read.

When Joseph came into the bedroom and saw her still reading, he asked, "Why aren't you asleep? It is so late."

Kate was frightened, she jumped up and suddenly threw the book down on the table.

Joseph glanced at her and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

While she waited for him to finish, Kate debated on if she should thank him or not. However, Lisa's words came to mind; she should not forget how badly he treated her, even though he was kind to her now.

After a while, Kate crawled into bed at the same time Joseph walked out of the bathroom wearing nothing but a bathrobe. Seeing Joseph walking toward her and lying next to her on the bed, Kate felt nervous and her heart beat faster.

They usually kept their distance in bed unless they were having sex, yes, he always asked her to kneel in a doggy position to avoid eye contact.

But now, if Kate turned around her face, it would be right in Joseph's chest. Thinking of which Kate was stiffed.

"You hit Anna, and she also hit you, right?" A cold voice whispered in Kate's ear.

What did he mean? Was he caring about me? Or defending for Anna? Kate thought to herself.

"Did you get hurt?" He asked again.

Kate's body stiffened, "I… I am fine."

She didn't say anything more for a long time, then suddenly she asked, "Why do you care? You don't want me to take revenge on her? But do you know that she caused the trouble first?"

Did she still think that I care about her hitting Anna? Well, that is fine. I guess even if I said I care about her, she wouldn't believe it. Joseph told himself.

Thinking of what Kate would reply, Joseph refused to answer her question and said, "It's late now. Go to sleep."

Then he turned around, which made Kate think what she said was true.

The next morning, Kate was preparing to go to work after she ate breakfast. However, Joseph objected and demanded she stay at home to rest her injured leg.

Kate was not happy with his decision and shouted, "If you want to make amends for Anna, you'd better tell her not to cause trouble for me again."

"Nonsense!" Joseph ordered Amy, "Keep an eye on her. She is not allowed to leave here without my permission."

"Yes sir," Amy was beaming with pride.

"You think you can trap me here in this way? I will call Mom for help!"

"If Mom knows you are injured, she will support my decision," Joseph interrupted her, leaving her no chance to threaten him.

Kate knew that Joseph was right, but she was still angry.

"If you behave yourself, I will take you out for dinner tonight," Joseph said to her before leaving.

What? Take me for dinner? Now he is definitely insane. Kate thought to herself.

"I don't want to have dinner with you," She shouted at him, but it was no use.

At this time, Alan ran towards her and circled around her feet.

Kate squatted down to pet him, but Amy reminded her, "Lady Kate, Lord Joseph does not allow you to touch Alan."

"Sorry, I forgot he is Anna's dog," Kate got up and walked away. However, Alan followed her even after she told him to go away.

"I'll put him out," Amy said proudly and then took him toward the kitchen.

Kate laid on the sofa and played games on her phone for most of the day. She didn't want to think about what had happened the day before with Dora and Anna.

Since Kate had lost her temper at the White's mansion, the family was in turmoil.

Anna was terrified of losing Joseph, so she decided to go to his office. She ran into Samuel as soon as she entered the building, so she quickly put her head down. Unfortunately, Samuel noticed her coming.

Samuel questioned her, "Lady Anna, why are you here? Are you looking for Joseph?"

Anna looked around and when she didn't see anyone, she whispered to Samuel, "Joseph has been sticking up for Kate and is acting very cold toward me. If we don't act soon, I am afraid he…"
