My Sweetheart novel Chapter 554

In the early morning, a few rays of sunlight shone through the window. Kathy opened her eyes and saw Joseph's handsome face.

Kathy raised her hand to touch his face. As she rubbed his stubbled jaw, she felt it scratchy but very comfortable.

She was somewhat addicted to that feeling, so she kept rubbing his jaw.

When she raised her eyes, she was surprised to find that Joseph was staring at her.

When did he wake up?

Kathy gradually blushed, and she tried to retract her hand.

However, Joseph grabbed her wrist fast, rolled over and pinned her down.

In the room arose an ambiguous atmosphere.

Kathy blinked and could clearly feel that Joseph's body was burning.

"Joseph, I'm worn out," said she in a gentle voice.

Of course, she knew what Joseph wanted to do at that moment.

He looked at Kathy affectionately, with the Adam's apple moving up and down.

He rolled over and hugged Kathy in his arms, gently kissing her between her eyebrows.

"Kathy."

"Aren't you going to the hospital today?" Kathy asked in a gentle voice.

"I'll be there this afternoon. This morning, I'd like to stay with you, okay?"

"I'm going to school later." Kathy looked at him.

After a while, she picked up her phone. It was time for her to leave.

With a flash of displeasure in his eyes, Joseph held her hands and leaned over. "Have you been spending much time with Reece recently?"

Kathy pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment.

Indeed, she spent much time with Reece to complete the research and development project those days. Of course, there were other students with them too.

"Sort of," Kathy answered in a low voice.

Then, her chin was suddenly lifted, and she had no choice but to face Joseph's deep gaze.

"I'm jealous," Joseph said with grievance like a child.

Kathy couldn't help but laugh. She held Joseph's handsome face and said, "Then why did you hand over the research and development project to him?"

"Well, I was reluctant." Joseph narrowed his eyes.

Kathy looked at him. She had known Joseph for a long time and she knew that he never compromised easily. Joseph must have his plan for the research and development project.

"Reece is in charge of this project now. So I can see him every day," said she gently.

She didn't want to do so. All she could do was to keep a distance from Reece.

"Tell me if there're any problems. OK?"

"OK." With a smile, Kathy looked at his handsome face and lowered her head to kiss him.

She felt so good to have Joseph by her side.

After breakfast, Joseph drove her to school. However, when she got out of the car, Reece was just walking towards them.

In front of the car, Reece passed by. He turned his head slightly and met Joseph's cold gaze.

He stopped, with his thin lips curved.

Joseph held the steering wheel tightly.

After Reece crossed the road, Joseph stepped on the accelerator and drove away quickly.

"You and Joseph made up, have you?" Reece caught up with Kathy.

"We're always good," Kathy said coldly.

"Is that so?" Reece said with an ambiguous expression.

Kathy entered the research laboratory first. Reece went to his office and learned the news from his subordinates, his face gloomy.

"Where is he?"

Kathy didn't finish her work until the evening when Reece came to the research laboratory.

"This is today's research report." Kathy handed him the reports handed over by the other students.

Reece just glanced at them and then looked at Kathy.

She felt very uncomfortable.

"If there's nothing wrong, I'll go back to the dormitory."

"Let's have dinner together," Reece said.

"I'll do it myself." Kathy walked quickly.

"Kathy, you're hiding from me." Reece stepped forward to catch up with her. His eyes seemed colder in the evening.

"I'm not hiding from you. I just don't want to get too close to you."

She said with a blunt refusal.

Reece slowly clenched his fists, putting on a terrible face which frightened Kathy to subconsciously retreated.

Reece's expression softened when he saw the fear in her eyes.

"Kathy, tell me, why are you afraid of me?" Reece walked closer to her.

As he took a step closer, Kathy took two steps back.

"If you don't answer, I won't let you go." Reece narrowed his eyes coldly.

Kathy bit her lips. She looked at Reece and slowly said, "Reece, you've gone too far."

"Really?" Reece frowned, as if he was seriously thinking about her words.

"Can we keep a distance?" Kathy asked quietly.

She felt very stressful to stay with Reece.

She knew that Reece was chasing after her, but she would not accept his love, so she didn't want to face him.

However, Reece wouldn't give up easily.
