My Sweetheart

Jennifer was very happy to see Kathy, knowing that Kathy had been very busy and hadn’t had the time to call her.

“Sorry to trouble you, Bertie.”

“I was going the same way, Kathy. I will pick you up when I go to school tomorrow.” He said firmly.

Kathy frowned and said lightly, “No, I can go back by myself.”

Jennifer looked at her daughter’s cold expressions and sighed inwardly.

After Bertie left, she sat with Kathy on the sofa and asked with concern, “I heard a rumor that Joseph is going to marry Ella. Is it true?”

“I… I don’t know.” Kathy’s expressions stiffen as she shook her head.

“Bertie’s feelings towards you look sincere.” Jennifer said solemnly.

“Mom, don’t say this again ever. I didn’t like him before, I don’t like him now and I will never like him even in the future. Do you want me to marry him because his family is rich?” Kathy’s tone dropped with her mood.

Jennifer paused for a bit.

Marrying him because his family is rich? The Booth family was strong enough now and they didn’t need to so such things.

It was just that she didn’t want her daughter to still be thinking about Joseph.

“No, I don’t want that. Okay, you tell me what kind of person you want, and I will find him for you.”

“Mom, I don’t have any thoughts about marriage right now.” Kathy rubbed her weary eyebrows.

“I am going upstairs to rest.” She said and went up the stairs.

The next day, Kathy was woken up quite early by her phone ringing. It was from the hospital, asking her to come immediately.

Today was Joseph’s first day at work. The hospital was understaffed and Kathy needed to temporarily fill in for the doctor’s assistant.

“I…” Kathy froze.

Joseph’s assistant?

Since it was a request from the hospital, she couldn’t refuse and agreed to do it, and Mr. Waston agreed on it too.

By working beside Joseph, she could learn more.

She scratched her head, feeling irritable, then she washed up and went out without having breakfast with Jennifer.
