My Sweetheart

The smile on Maryam's face instantly froze. After a while, she managed to force a smile, "Sister-in-law won’t get angry so easily,
and... Even if she really gets angry because of this trivial matter, you can’t spoil her like this."
Joseph said unhappily, "If Kathy is not happy, she will make me unhappy. I don’t spoil her and let her face me with a straight face
every day?"
There is a saying, “I treat you well, but I am the one who pleases me in the end.”
Maryam's eyes widened and her face was full of disbelief. She couldn't help but muttered, "But during this time she is not good to
you at all. She always pulls a long face, and is not close to grandpa at all. And she always threatens to leave you."
Joseph narrowed his eyes. "So what? Your only job in Joseph’s residence is to accompany my grandpa and make him happy;
otherwise I will leave you with nothing at any time."
Maryam was completely shocked by the look in his eyes, and she lowered her head for a long time without speaking.
"You can't tell Kathy anything since you know it."
Maryam's eyes rolled slightly. Before she answered, the man's figure had disappeared.
He really... he didn't even have the patience to say a word to her.
In his eyes, not to mention that compared with Kathy, who was the apple of his eye, she was just a woman adopted by the
Joseph family to accompany Mathew, and maybe was more humble than the servants.
In fact, she didn't want much. Even if she couldn't be Joseph's woman, she felt it was enough to be his sister. She thought that
she would not be worse than Veronica who had passed away.
But why this man was reluctant to give her a little chance no matter what.
...
Kathy woke up very early that day. She habitually touched the side beside her. It was cold, without any wrinkles. It was obvious
that no one had slept here last night.
She pouted her lips and smiled. This was a terrible habit. She originally rejected Joseph sleeping next to her, but after a long
time, she wasn’t used to it when he wasn't there.

She didn't ask or call him. She just quietly went downstairs to eat breakfast, and then took a walk in the villa alone. Occasionally
she watered the seedlings with the gardener.
Everyone treated her very politely, as if she was Mrs Joseph. Mathew's attitude was still gentle, neither too familiar nor very
alienated.
But she was found by Maryam not long after, "Sister-in-law, will you be bored? Shall we go shopping? Brother Joseph asked me
to spend some time to accompany you. He is very busy lately so he won’t come back often. Don’t blame him."
Kathy lowered her head to hoe the daisies. She said lightly, "I'm not bored at all. Didn't you see that I was learning to grow
flowers?"
If a person has an extraordinary enthusiasm for another person for no reason, she always feels very responsive.
Maryam looked at the meticulous and dedicated woman, and a bit of frustration gradually emerged in her heart. "Sister-in-law,
why do you hate me so much? Is it because you think I like Brother Joseph? But I haven't done anything to damage or influence
your relationship. I really only regard him as an elder brother."
Kathy still said lightly, "To be honest, I hate you calling him Brother Joseph."
Maryam's eyes widened. "It's just a title."
Kathy put the small hoe aside, and picked up the mini sprinkler to water the flowers seriously, "I just think it's disgusting."
Maryam ignored Kathy's words. She would still call Joseph Brother Joseph anyway.
Kathy was still dealing with the things at hand indifferently, but Maryam felt upset, "Sister-in-law, have you quarreled with Brother
Joseph? So you vent your anger on me when you are in a bad mood?"
Kathy never looked up, but smiled and said, "There are so many people in Joseph’s residence. Except for grandpa, I can vent
my anger on them rather than you. Miss Maryam, you really think too much."
Maryam clenched her fists and raised a sweet smile on her face, "That's good. Sister-in-law, you continue to plant flowers slowly.
If you are bored, you can ask me to accompany you at any time, and I will call you when I have dinner."
"Okay, thank you."

When Maryam's footsteps disappeared, she stood up and sat on a wicker chair one meter away. In addition to sleeping and
reading medical books, she read the news every day.
Until she received a call from Vivian and she asked her to go out for a chat, Kathy certainly did not refuse. But after arriving at
the agreed place, she couldn't see Vivian. Kathy checked the phone and knew that Vivian suddenly had something urgent, so
she can’t go to see her.
Kathy didn't like to stroll around alone, so she went straight back to Joseph’s residence.
She was dialing Vivian's phone all the way. She wanted to ask her what happened, but no one answered.
When she went back to Joseph’s residence, it was afternoon. She wanted to go to the study to read books. But when she
opened the door, she realized that the door was not closed tightly. When she raised her hand and was about to open the door,
Inside, Maryam’s timid voice sounded, "Brother Joseph, if you deal with Marlon, sister-in-law will be very angry..."
Kathy's hand froze in midair, and then gradually dropped.
She adjusted her stance and looked at the man's indifferent side face from the concealed door. His face was so cold he seemed
to be almost inhuman and without warmth. Her heart was slightly cold, and then she couldn’t help but tremble.
Joseph looked at the computer for a long time without saying anything. He just pressed his thin lips tightly, showing that he was
in a bad mood right now.
Maryam plucked up the courage to speak, "Brother Joseph, tell me, I can help you."
Seeing the man always ignoring her, Maryam raised her voice a little, "Aren't you afraid that sister-in-law will know it? If she
knows... she will definitely tell Marlon."
Was he dealing with her brother?
Joseph and Marlon had no grievances. Why did he do this?
He came back very late these days, and he refused to tell her what he was doing. Was he going to deal with her brother?
Kathy bit her lip, very hard. Until the bloody smell spread all over the tip of her tongue, she still didn't feel pain.
Joseph's impatient voice finally sounded with a deeply suppressed sullen emotion, "Get out!"

Maryam only felt that she couldn’t stand his attitude anymore. "It was Grandpa who asked me to help you. He said he still
worried about you, so he told me to come over, otherwise I won’t take the initiative to come here and make you hate me!"
"Go out, you guard Kathy for me and don't let her leave Joseph’s residence! You don't need to worry about other things!"
Maryam said quickly, "But she went out today..."
"Boom!"
The cup slammed on the ground and made a sharp noise. Maryam was so frightened that she didn't dare to continue speaking.
She looked at the indifferent man who had an intimidating aura. He said angrily, "She's out? You didn’t stop her when she went
out?"
Kathy's face was pale, and subconsciously, she touched her belly.
