My Sweetheart

Chapter 489 They Were Here, Together

Joseph saw the shyness shown by Kathy, he hid his smile deeply and said purposely, “Are you feeling hot? Why your face so red?”

After hearing Joseph’s mischievous words, Kathy did not bother him and simply walked in front.

They walked barefoot on the beach, the sky-blue seawater reached them following by the wave, they felt a sense of coldness on their feet.

The seawater near the shore was floated by a lot of seaweeds, they tangled Kathy’s foot and stuck on her leg, she felt itchy yet comfortable.

Joseph walked towards Kathy and asked, “Can you swim?”

“Of course, I am a part of the school swimming team before!” Kathy said proudly.

“The last place?” Joseph said mischievously.

Kathy stared at him, “Let’s have a swim!”

“Ok,” Joseph smiled dotingly.

Kathy wore her goggles, the seawater went over her arm followed by her shoulder and finally her head.

Kathy felt like she was a fish, wrapped by the seawater tightly.

She did not swim for a long time, Joseph was beside her. He was obviously following her steps.

Through the goggles and seawater, Kathy saw the handsome man beside her without blinking. He swam ahead of her a bit, she then tried to catch up, they kept chasing after each other.

Kathy banged into something unknown when her sight rest on Joseph. She did not manage to adjust her breath and choked by the water.

The salty seawater lingered in her mouth and made Kathy feel a sense of sourness and pain in her nose.

She struggled instinctively but realized that she had been lifted up.

Kathy took off her goggles and looked at Joseph with embarrassment. Her nose was painful, she could not hold back her tears.

Joseph kissed her instantly and licked her tears.

“When do you allow me to stop worrying about you?”

“Never!” Kathy said deliberately.

She held Joseph’s neck and put her leg on his body, hung on his body like a bear.

Joseph lifted her and walked slowly towards the shore. The waves approached them non-stop, they were gentle and did not surge.

Making use of the buoyancy of the seawater, Joseph easily lifted Kathy to the shore.

Kathy could not balance herself when she stood up from the water suddenly. At the moment, a strong wave came, the splashes of wave spilt on her, she staggered a few steps.

Joseph held her with his strong arm, “Be careful.”

His voice and breath were heard by her ears,” There are a lot of stones on the ground, they were painful, held me tightly.”

Kathy nodded her head obediently, she tiptoed and kissed Joseph’s cheek.

The sunlight shone on them, their long shadows were seen.

Joseph brought Kathy to sit in the middle area of the beach. The sand there did not get wet by the seawater, unlike the wet sand nearby the coast, it was dry, soft and comfortable.

“Do you always go to the seaside in the past?” Kathy simply asked.

Joseph had always pursued the quality life, he might have always gone for a holiday in the past, the seaside was the first choice normally.

“Not much, I don’t have much free time when I do my medical study. Once I graduate, I start to work, even less time for me to enjoy,” Joseph’s response made Kathy surprise.

She thought that rich people like Joseph would always go travelling.

In fact, his time was squeezed in order to be free.

“How about you, Kathy?” Joseph asked.

Kathy frowned, reminisced seriously, “When I was very young, maybe…in kindergarten time.”

“Do you still remember the time then?”

“Of course, my father has not left me and Angela at that time. The orphanage which my father works in is nearby the seaside, there is a boy who is a little older than me, we always build the castle on the beach and play with the shadow by stepping on it.”

“And then?” Joseph brightened his sights.

“Then?” Kathy stunned, shook her head and said, “Nothing more, I only go to the seaside at that time and do not often go there when I grow up.”

She seldom went out. She spent her time on her medical study and did not have much free time as well.

“Do you still remember that little boy?” Joseph seemed to ask unintentionally.

“Even if I remember him, I can’t recognize him now. We are too young at that time, I don’t even get to know his name.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Are you jealous?” Kathy blinked and looked at Joseph.

“I will not be jealous of a wimpy kid,” Joseph said coolly.

“You are also a wimpy kid when you’re young!” Kathy pulled her face deliberately.

Joseph smiled charmingly, he looked at Kathy, seemed like they had gone back to their childhood time, he held her hand, slowly walked on the beach. It seemed like they had walked to the edge of the world.

She saw Joseph lying down, she also relaxed and lay together on the beach.

The sunlight was not hot and shone on their face.

Kathy closed her eyes and did not talk, same as Joseph.

Not knowing how long the time passed, they could hear the wind and the melody of the wave slapped on the stones.

The sun gradually set, Kathy turned her head and opened her eyes stealthily, Joseph’s handsome face was seen.

His neat hair was stained by the sand, his eyes were deep, his eyelash was curled while he closed his eyes, underneath his tall nose was a perfect lip that curved slightly, he showed a relaxing pattern.

After a while, Joseph moved his eyelash. Kathy turned her head instantly and closed her eyes.

Next moment, her hand was held gently, the temperature was familiar. She could even remember each and every line on his palm.

She still closed her eyes and curved her lips to show her pleasant mood.

This sea was the most beautiful sea she had ever seen.

Because Joseph was by her side.

They were here, together.

After they went back to the room, Joseph started to prepare for his job. Kathy could understand him as a CEO of the Joseph’s Group, he had a lot of work to do every day.

She sat in front of the window and replied to the messages of Zofia and Alexia. She also called Benedict, she was supposed to deal with the stuff in the hospital but she went for a vacation with Joseph without much hesitation and consideration.

That night, they had their dinner at the seaside, it was a romantic candlelit dinner.

They had quality western food as their meal. Kathy was not interested in the food, her sight rest on Joseph.

This man…she could not get enough of watching him…

“Do you want to eat the meal or me? Huh?” Joseph curved his lips.

After hearing that, Kathy lowered her head instantly, had the meal of course!

Joseph laughed slightly, he held the wine glass and swung.

“If you want to marry me, the thing that I keen to do now is making a proposal,” Joseph’s tone was soft.

He could not wait to reach the day of marriage.

Kathy smiled, teased him, “Do you think that you are old already? That’s why you’re so impatient.”
