Chapter 1290 Damaging Her Dignity
Cassie yanked Joseph straight into the study.
Tonight, Joseph had been full of surprises.
When the doc said his IQ was stuck at a toddler level, her heart sank.
But, surprise, surprise, while he didn't get a lot of things and couldn't even read, his body still remembered stuff like playing ball and fighting.
"Joey, sit down." Cassie opened a book on the table, "Starting today, I'm gonna teach you to read, cool?"
"Oh." Joseph nodded and plopped down. Cassie then sat on his lap.
This close-up position freaked him out.
He awkwardly held Cassie's waist, feeling her soft curves and catching her scent. Joseph's breathing got heavy.
Cassie opened the book but suddenly felt something, and her face turned beet red.
"Help me, Cassie," Joseph said, biting his lip, looking all embarrassed.
Cassie, holding the book, blushed, "I'm here to teach you how to read."
"I'm not in the mood to study right now," Joseph looked at her with puppy eyes.
Cassie was speechless.
Half an hour later.
The book was tossed on the floor.
Cassie sat on the desk, her arms around his neck, and Joseph's kisses rained down.
She could barely breathe.
He was just like the old Joseph, intense and passionate.
Even though Joseph's IQ had dropped, his personality hadn't, especially when it came to kissing.
This version of Joseph was addictive.
Even Cassie felt turned on.
Since Joseph hadn't been well, it had been ages since Cassie and Joseph had been intimate.
"Joey."
At this moment, Cassie had totally forgotten she brought him to the study to teach him to read.
Her hand moved to his shirt collar, unbuttoning it one by one, "Joey."
"Mommy, I want to take a bath," Sophia's loud voice suddenly came from outside.
Cassie felt like the rug had been pulled out from under her.
She quickly pushed Joseph away.
Joseph, still dazed, sat back in the chair, his face flushed and looking very tempting.
Cassie quickly looked away and got off the desk.
The next moment, the door burst open.
Sophia barged in, "Mommy, come take a bath with me."
"Okay," Cassie nodded mechanically.
"Cassie," Joseph grabbed her hand, his eyes full of reluctance.
He didn't know what Cassie wanted to say just now, but instinctively wanted her to stay and continue what they were doing. He felt that what was coming next would be something he liked very much.
"You stay here and learn the computer," Cassie quickly glared at him, and embarrassedly placed the laptop in front of him, "Didn't you say you wanted to work? We need to know how to use a computer to work."
After saying that, she quickly took Sophia away.
She seemed to escape hastily.
After all, no matter how bold she was, it was still embarrassing.
She had almost lost control of her desires just now.
Why had she become so lacking in self-control?
It was a real hit to her pride.
After getting Sophia bathed and dressed, she was too embarrassed to head back to the study.
She had to rope in Oliver, who had just wrapped up his combat practice, to call Joseph and set up a father-son bath time.
"Oliver, tonight you teach him how to bathe," Cassie instructed her son.
"Why should he teach me? No, you help me bathe," Joseph immediately protested.
"Mommy doesn't even help me bathe," Oliver shot back, "You can take care of yourself. Boys shouldn't let girls bathe them, and you shouldn't let girls see your body."
Cassie stayed quiet.
It's fine for a girlfriend to see her boyfriend.
What if Joseph wouldn't let her see anymore?
Sure enough, Joseph frowned after hearing that, "What if a girl sees me?"
"Then she's a perv," Oliver said, swaggering to the bathroom.
Joseph gave perv "Cassie" a complicated look.
Cassie was super embarrassed but couldn't say much in front of Oliver, so she urged, "Go take a bath."
After saying that, she pretended to wash Sophia's clothes.
At night, the family of four lay on a big bed.
Usually, Oliver and Sophia slept in the middle. Today, with Joseph, Oliver slept on the other side, Sophia slept next to her mom, and Joseph had to sleep between Sophia and Oliver.
Joseph was not happy with this setup and kept inching towards Cassie, causing Sophia, who was squished in the middle, to complain, "I'm getting squished between you and Mommy, Joey. Can you move towards Oliver?"
"No, I want to sleep next to Cassie. If you can't stand it, switch places with me," Joseph said.
"You're shameless," Sophia was almost furious, "Look at your size."
"Who told you to eat less and not grow as fast as me," Joseph snorted.
Sophia angrily said, "Even if I was born twenty years earlier and ate like a horse, I wouldn't grow as big as you."
"Yeah, I think so too," Joseph nodded.
Sophia was silent.
She was going crazy. How could she have such a dad?
"I'm not sleeping here," Sophia couldn't stand it anymore and took her pillow to Oliver's side, leaving the other side to Joseph.
"Thank you," Joseph happily moved next to Cassie.
Cassie was speechless, "Sophia is a girl. Can't you be a little more considerate?"
"Why? Isn't it that men and women are equal?" Joseph said defiantly.
Cassie didn't know how to respond. Joseph was impressive; he even knew about gender equality.
Cassie closed her eyes and soon felt sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, an arm wrapped around her.
"Cassie," Joseph was nibbling on her ear.
Cassie instantly lost all sleepiness. She quickly glanced at Sophia and Oliver, thankfully they were asleep.
"Aren't you going to sleep?"
"I can't sleep," Joseph blinked his bright eyes, "Cassie, is it true that girls can't see my body? But you're a girl, and you've seen me before. You're a perv."
Cassie almost choked on her own saliva.
