Chapter 428 You Need to Exercise Some Restraint
Josephine said, "I want to go home!"
"This is your home," Stuart looked at her. "Josephine, we're together now, I have to take responsibility for you."
Josephine rubbed her sore back and gritted her teeth. "I don't need you to take responsibility!"
"Are you turning your back on me as soon as you get out of bed?"
Josephine said, "Am I the one turning my back? It's you who doesn't know moderation!"
Stuart, knowing he was in the wrong, thought for a moment, then suddenly frowned and clutched his wound, letting out a cry.
Josephine wasn't fooled. "You were like a machine last night, and now you're pretending to be weak?"
Stuart pressed his forehead against hers and smiled, "So, Josephine, are you saying you were very satisfied with my performance last night?"
When it came to shamelessness, Josephine couldn't compare to Stuart. Her face flushed, she pushed him away and ran to the bathroom.
Stuart watched her close the door, a smile lingering on his lips.
He was so happy. Not because he finally got what he wanted and had intimate contact with Josephine, but because Josephine finally didn't reject him anymore.
Although Stuart had prepared himself for the possibility that they might never have an intimate relationship, being able to enjoy making love with Josephine was, of course, even better.
When Josephine finished washing up and came out, she saw Stuart standing at the door grinning.
"Josephine," he hugged her, greedily inhaling her scent, "This is great, I'm so happy."
Josephine said, "If you moderate yourself in the future, I'll be even happier."
Stuart laughed, "I can't help it, you're too sweet."
Josephine pushed him, "If you keep this up, I'll have to set some rules."
Stuart asked, "What rules?"
"Once a week, one hour each time."
Stuart's face wrinkled up, "Once a week?"
"What, is that not okay?"
Thinking about the past and looking at the present, once a week wasn't impossible. Stuart actually thought he wasn't excessive last night. But maybe Josephine hadn't had sex in a long time, so her body wasn't used to it.
Stuart thought, once she got used to it gradually, it would be fine. He nodded, "Okay!"
"Really?" Josephine looked at him skeptically, "You can do it?"
"I promise I can!"
Since he said so, Josephine chose to believe him for now.
Josephine had been staying here for the past few days, and now that his body had recovered, not to mention his wound, just looking at how he was last night, he could go to war without a problem. So Josephine was ready to go back.
Stuart thought he was really too happy last night. If he had known that doing it for too long would make Josephine leave, he would have held back.
But at that moment, who could hold back? If he could hold back, he wouldn't be a man.
Anyway, since Josephine wanted to leave, he couldn't say anything. After all, she had been staying here for several days, and it was time for her to go home and check on things.
Moreover, Stuart also planned to bring Andrew over, and he had to deal with the man who wanted to kill Josephine.
He sent Josephine back to The Clarence Family, then contacted Gerald.
"I had someone check his accounts, even his family members' accounts, and found nothing suspicious," Gerald said. "For now, there's no other clue proving he had another reason to harm Josephine."
Stuart said, "There must be something we've overlooked. What he said is completely untrustworthy."
Gerald said, "I also had someone look into Josephine's past at the hospital. She's a skilled doctor and has helped many patients. This man's wife was indeed treated by Josephine, but her illness was already in the late stages and couldn't be saved."
Stuart said, "I know, which is why I always suspected he never told the truth from the beginning."
"But we can't find any clues. If this continues, the case will have to be closed."
"If someone really wants to harm Josephine, and they failed this time, they'll definitely try again."
"So you must protect Josephine well."
Stuart said, "I will. It's my negligence this time. Actually, Josephine used to have bodyguards around her."
"Is it that guy named Otis?" Gerald said, "I know him."
"Yes." Stuart didn't want to say more and changed the topic, "Leave this matter to me, you handle other things."
Gerald said, "How can I not care about Josephine's matter? We won't be at ease until we find this person."
After talking with Gerald, Stuart called his subordinates and gave them a few instructions. Then he went to the company.
He hadn't been to the company recently, initially because Josephine was worried about his wound. Later, he couldn't bear to be apart from Josephine, as it was rare for them to be together. Even though they couldn't be intimate, just being with her made Stuart very satisfied.
Now that they had crossed that line, Stuart felt he couldn't be without her even more. They had just separated, and he already started missing her.
Stuart thought, 'This can't go on.'
Previously, he could only see Josephine when he picked up Jeffery.
After getting past Nicole, he and Josephine could only occasionally meet up.
Like these past few days, being together day and night, inseparable, was because he was injured.
Now that he was better, they would have to go back to the way it was before, only being able to go on a date once every few days.
Moreover, Josephine said once a week; she wouldn't plan for them to meet just once a week, right? Who could stand that?
Stuart thought about it and decided to put the proposal on the agenda. Their relationship was already very close, and he had passed The Clarence Family's test. The conditions for proposing were mature. But before that, he wanted to find out the real culprit behind the man who wanted to harm Josephine.
But as Gerald said, the man's accounts were clean, he was in custody, and his family didn't suddenly receive a large sum of money. At least on the surface, it was like that.
While investigating this matter, Stuart took Josephine and went back to Hustalia to bring Andrew to Celestia Springs.
While in Hustalia, Josephine met with Laura and Claudia.
Actually, Laura had been frequently traveling between Hustalia and Celestia Springs recently. After all, Steven's business was mainly in Celestia Springs, and Hustalia was all new projects.
Moreover, Josephine hadn't seen Claudia in a long time.
Stuart chose this time to come back because Jair was on vacation and they could meet. Otherwise, he would be at the military base, and they wouldn't be able to see him.
Previously, they had their own gatherings. Now that Stuart and Josephine were back together, the six of them decided to gather together.
The three good friends had endless things to talk about, and the three men on the side could also chat.
Stuart and Jair had been friends for many years. Although they didn't have much interaction with Steven before, over the past six months, they had gotten to know each other.
The women talked about various topics, while the three men mostly discussed international affairs and business projects. Although Jair was at the military base, his family was also involved in business.
