My Sweetheart

Joseph came back after midnight.

Kathy was sitting on the sofa with a textbook but couldn't take anything in.

She turned her head when she heard someone unlocking the door, running into Joseph's arms the moment she saw him.

A day felt too long without him.

Joseph's tense expression softened a little as he looked at the little woman hugging him like a koala bear.

Rubbing her hair dotingly, he hugged her and sat down on the sofa. "Did you have anything tonight?"

Kathy did not answer.

She seemed to have forgotten about dinner.

He knew the answer when he saw her expression. He helplessly frowned, rolled up his sleeves, and walked into the kitchen. Kathy followed him like a doll.

She watched as he made the noodles skillfully. Not long after, an inviting fragrance pervaded the room, and Kathy's belly groaned.

"What kept you so late?" she asked with concern.

"I was looking into Grandfather's attempted murder."

"Any clues?"

"Yes, but they aren't enough." Joseph turned off the heat and emptied the pan.

Noticing it was only enough for one person, Kathy looked at him and said, "Have you eaten?"

"No, but I'm not hungry."

"No can do. I'll cook something for you!" After saying that, Kathy returned to the kitchen.

Joseph forcefully carried her out of it and pressed her down on the seat, so that she couldn't move. "It won't taste good when it is cold. Be a lame and have your meal."

She looked at him unhappily. "If you don't eat, I won't either."

She pushed the noodles to him.

Joseph compromised under her insistence.

Only this woman could make him do that.

He cooked another bowl of noodles and placed it in front of Kathy. Then he began to eat the cold ones.

"Stop talking and eat," Joseph ordered.
