Chapter 77
"It had been an hour since he came back, and Cassie still hadn't returned. Even Dakota didn't care anymore. How arrogant she was!
""Come on, Dakota. I'll take you to buy fruit."" Joseph grabbed Dakota and pulled her into his arms.
Dakota protested with a ""meow,"" not wanting to go. But her owner completely disregarded her.
The entrance of the residential area was filled with shops. Joseph walked into a fruit store and browsed through the selection. Joseph pondered what to buy.
""Why isn't Cassie back yet?"" Joseph thought.
The female owner of the fruit store, standing at the door, secretly observed this ridiculously handsome young man.
""What's going on? He has walked around the fruit store five or six times now and hasn't bought anything. He keeps glancing toward the door. Could it be that he's interested in me but lacks the courage to approach?"" the owner thought to herself.
A hint of shyness crossed her face as she mustered up the courage to walk over.
But unexpectedly, the man's face suddenly darkened, and he strode toward the door.
She stiffened and peeked over, only to see a beautiful girl stepping out of a Rolls-Royce SUV by the roadside.
So, she thought, the man must be dealing with infidelity.
How could a handsome man like him be betrayed by his girlfriend?
After saying a sincere goodbye to David, Cassie turned around and saw Joseph approaching swiftly while holding Dakota.
The moonlight shone on his shoulders, accentuating his extraordinary and handsome face.
Doesn't he usually come back at midnight?
Why is she so unlucky that she always gets caught when a man escorts her home?
If she didn't know that he doesn't like her, she would suspect that he waits outside the door for her.
Naturally, she could guess that she would be humiliated and slandered next.
So, she spoke before Joseph did. ""I'm not feeling well today. If you want to scold me, please scold me tomorrow.""
Joseph became furious and lost his composure.
""You're not feeling sick. You're just tired from playing with men outside. How about that? Last time, it was a Porsche that took you home, and now it's a Rolls-Royce. Cassie, you're doing great, climbing up men one after another, but do they know what kind of woman you are? Are you really willing to do such despicable things just to seduce men?""
Cassie had just finished receiving an IV. Her headache had eased a bit, but now, after being scolded by him, her temples ached like they were being pricked by needles again.
She felt exhausted.
Wasn't he usually careful with words? Why is he talking so much now?
""I don't want to argue with you.""
They always end up arguing every time they meet. It's too exhausting.
Moreover, knowing that he gave the villa project to Olivia, she had completely given up on him.
She walked past him with her head down.
Her indifferent appearance enraged Joseph further, and he grabbed her by the arm.
""What do you mean? You have someone new, so you don't even want to talk to me anymore. Is that it? You come back late every night, and I can't even say a word to you.""
Cassie's arm was in pain from his grip, but she had no strength to struggle.
She just felt cold and tired.
She looked up and said, ""Whether I come back late or early, it's none of your business. Yes, I live here, but I used to cook for you and clean up after you. And you even lied to me. You said Dakota had stomach problems because of me. But she's perfectly fine. She is just pregnant. I don't need to bear any responsibility. After all, I'm not the one who made the cat pregnant, am I?""
""How dare you talk back?"" Joseph glared at her, his face turning unbelievably dark. It was her who did something wrong, but she was trying to justify it.
""Don't forget that you are my wife!""
