My Sweetheart novel Chapter 170

Edith calmed down and smiled to Conor, “Hello. I am Edith Wesley. My family got an accident many years ago and I have not been back to the old house for years.”

Conor toasted to her and said, “We are destined to meet each other. So today shall we talk about the old times?”

Edith did not answer and from her pallid face, she seemed indifferent to his words.

Joseph pushed her slightly and said, “Edith, since your parents have already arranged this for you, just accept it.”

This was a warning as well as a threat.

Edith burst into tears; although she knew how cruel the man was, she still expected him to be nice to her.

However, she never imagined he was so mean to let her marry the other man.

Edith took a deep breath and kept calm. She turned to look at the man beside her and asked, “You would like me to do this?”

Joseph had some wine and answered grimly, “Edith, I am married.”

What he said made Edith almost furious, but she did not leave yet.

Zain heard Joseph’s reply to Edith and was also annoyed to say, “Joseph, how can you determine Edith’s marriage for her?”

Joseph looked up and watched Zain, “Edith lived in my family since she was a child. You, as her uncle, did nothing for her and never visited her except asking for money. So, you are her guardian?”

Then, everyone looked at Zain in irony and anger.

“Edith, what’s your opinion?” Joseph looked at her for the first time this night.

Anyway, she could only catch some endless coldness in his eyes.

Edith laughed; she understood Joseph’s purpose that she would never reject.

She just felt some of chilly in her heart.

She said slowly, “I was raised and supported very well in Joseph’s family for these years…”

Just now, Joseph said before Edith started again, “Edith is just like my younger sister for the past years. Mr. Conor, I will feel relieved if she can marry you.”

Conor was stunned by Edith’s beauty and said to Joseph, “Joseph, this is my pleasure. My father hopes I can find her these years. Thank you so much for your help.”

Edith would like to ignore him but felt lack of confident when standing beside Joseph.

Everyone here was so smart that knew the meet had been organized before. But unexpectedly, Joseph came here to talk with both of them about their marriage.

Conor asked her politely, “Edith, I still have some business to do in a couple of days. But my father always remembers you. Why don’t you go with me tonight?”

He walked to Edith to give her a hand.

She was in a dilemma. On one hand, Joseph gave his opinions and also in the presence of powerful Joseph, her uncle was too cowardly to talk more.

On the other hand, Conor expected her to go with him; if she agreed, she would marry him for sure.

After eye contact with Joseph, Edith looked down. She could not do anything but reach Conor’s hand.

Nevertheless, she would try to reject marrying him.

Conor was extremely satisfied and smiled to say, “Joseph, thank you for inviting me tonight. We have to leave a little earlier.”

Joseph looked at the locked exit; he seemed to be greatly nervous with his fists clenching.

The hotel manager brought the key. Joseph kicked the door out of which noise disturbed Kathy trapped inside the stairs space.

Somebody was coming to save her!

Kathy looked up in the dim light. The tall man’s shadow was nearly covered by darkness. She still recognized he is Joseph.

She never imagined Joseph would come to save her.

Though she expected it, she still did not think it would come true.

At the moment, the man walked slowly with hostility; he looked too gloomy, but tended to be gentle when seeing Kathy here.

“Joseph.” Kathy mumbled and raised her head with difficulty. She looked at his eyes and then tried to stand up.

For sitting too long with bending legs, her feet were numb. She did not stand steadily and almost fell down from the stairs. Just now Joseph held her with his long arms.

In the corridor outside the door, Edith who was ready to leave saw Joseph walk inside; she felt so hate to Kathy that clenched her fists.

She just bade Conor a farewell and agreed with him to go to Country B in three days and would deal with some issues these days.

She did not think that Joseph would find Kathy before she came back to the event.

She got trembling with looking wan also.

Now someone walked towards her; it was Billy. He looked at Edith with sharp eyesight and asked her, “You did that?”
