Contract Marriage with Devil Billionaire - Chapter 189 Your Suppor

Joseph smiled, “You are awake?”

“Yeah,” She mumbled and asked, “When did we get back? And why didn’t you wake me up?”

“It was almost

midnight.”

“Midnight! What time is it now?” Kate exclaimed

“About two o’clock,” Joseph sighed.

Kate looked at the papers sprawled across his desk. She asked out of concern, “Do you need to finish reading all of that tonight?”

Joseph his work aside, then turned and pulled Kate on his lap, and asked, “Do you want me to come to sleep next to you because you can’t sleep without me?”

“No, that is not it!” She shook her head honestly, frowned, and said, “I just think that staying up late is bad for your health.”

“I would have been happy if you had said yes,” A glimmer of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Kate quickly corrected herself, “Yes, yes! I am so used to you holding me until I go to sleep that if you are not next to me, I will suffer from insomnia!”

“Really?” Joseph laughed.

She raised her hand to swear, “It’s true! Your girlfriend is in your bed, but you are working overtime to let her sleep along?”

“I want to be next to you always,” Joseph kissed her forehead, “So if you will sit here with me for a while, and when I finish work, I will hold you in bed. Is that okay?”

It was apparent to Kate that Joseph had urgent work to be done, and if she forced him to go to bed, he would only get up after she fell asleep. She didn’t want him feeling pressured, so she suggested, “My dear, don’t forget that I am also a business manager now. I am able to help you solve work problems.”

He immediately understood what she was saying; he teased, “Girls can’t stay up late, though.”

“But I’m not a girl anymore!” She snapped back.

“Who said you are not? You will always be my girl!”

“Oh my! Why are you so sickening?” Kate laughed, “Where did you learn all of this from?”

“Go to sleep!” He urged gently.

However, she continued to hold his neck without letting it go, “I want to wait for you to finish your work and then go to sleep together.”

“It will take a while,” Joseph moaned. He was swamped with work since the product hit the market.

“It’s okay, I will be with you,” Kate got up from his lap and said enthusiastically, “Mr. Smith, I am your support. With me, you will not be alone or tired. But hurry up and do your work while I go make you a cup of coffee!”

She knew that being here would only disturb him and waste his time, so Kate decided making him coffee would help him the most.

As he worked, Joseph urged Kate to go to bed. However, she would not listen so, he lied and pretended to fall asleep. Once Kate began to snore softly, he got up and went back to his desk.

When Kate woke up the next day, she wasn’t sure how to feel. She was upset to see Joseph asleep at his desk, but at the same time, she understood. She walked over and covered him with a blanket, then kissed the top of his head.

She could feel a strong sense of security surrounding him; it made her feel safe and loved.

Joseph lifted his head and squinted at Kate, “How did you sleep?”

“I have a little bit of a headache, but I am okay,” She had stayed up late and only slept for about three hours.

“Go back to sleep then,” Joseph got up and carried her to the bed.

With his gentle hypnotic voice and her lack of sleep, Kate had a hard time keeping her eyes open. She whispered, “What about you?”

“I have sent all the documents to John, and he will do the follow-up work,” Joseph’s tone sounded much more relaxed.

Kate was happy to hear he was done working. She gripped his arm and said, “Then you can stay home and rest today?”

“You can too!” Joseph smiled.

“No, I can’t do that! I have to go…”

“You have to sleep now! You didn’t sleep well last night; get some rest today!” He ordered.

“But I can’t miss work. I am the manager; I have to set a good example for others. I need to go to work!” Kate shook her head.

Joseph knew he wouldn’t be able to stop her, “Then sleep for an hour, then I will drive you to the office!”

“No,” Kate sighed, “Why do you need to act so toughly? You need your sleep so…”

Before they could say anymore, Joseph kissed her lips. Soon, his eyes were closed, and Kate snuck out of bed. She took a quick shower, then made breakfast and soup for Joseph, and went to the office.

About halfway through the morning, Kate’s phone rang. She saw it was Joseph and answered.

“Excuse me, future Mrs. Smith, you are not very obedient,” He scolded.

Kate smiled and replied, “If I didn’t lie to you, you would have kept talking and not got any sleep. It would have been pointless and a waste of time. By the way, I made you breakfast and some soup for lunch. Did you see them?”

“You made breakfast?” From his comment, Kate knew he was still in bed.

She laughed, “Are you awake?”

“I was dreaming. I dreamt that you suddenly disappeared. I searched for a long time and couldn’t find you…” Joseph sighed.

“So, you were scared to wake up?” She felt a sudden warmth in her heart. She comforted, “Don’t worry, I’m in your heart, and I can’t run away.”

“But, you are not by my side now.” He complained.

Kate couldn’t help laughing, “You are like a kid who can’t live without his mom!”

“Mom? You mean, you are my mom? Do you want me to tell my real mom?” He teased.
