Enchanted By His Charm

Chapter 948 948: I Care About You

?

Or was something bad really going to take place soon?

The housemaid put up the phone and walked to Irish hurriedly. "Lilith's parents will come back soon. Irish, you..." The maid stopped but looked anxiously.

The maid was always kind to Irish. Although William and Kelly urged the maid not to let anyone in, she still opened the door for Irish each time.

Irish understood what the maid meant, and she also didn't want to have a conflict with Kelly because she was clear that the drug dealers hurt Lilith because of Jay.

Stepping to Lilith's bedroom, she knocked on the door gently, opened the door then, and reminded him it was time to leave.

However, Jay couldn't stand to leave.

Lilith was alone, so he persuaded her to leave with him.

Lilith also understood that her parents would come back soon, so she also urged Jay to leave as soon as possible.

Jay was stubborn and insisted on waiting for William and Kelly so that he could convince them to allow him to take Lilith away.

Anxious, Irish rushed to Jay and roared at him in a rather low voice, "Are you crazy? It is not the right time to flaunt your superiority. Even if you want to take Lilith away, it is not a tight time. You are the police, and you should understand this."

Lilith wept and persuaded Jay, "Leave with Irish now. I am begging you."

Staring at Lilith, Jay was hesitant.

He felt so sorrowful for Lilith, whose tears kept trickling down. Jay felt a stone in his heart, but he was helpless and just clenched his hands.

The maid knocked on the door anxiously and said, "The car has already reached the underground garage. You need to go right now."

Irish pulled Jay and asked him to leave with her immediately.

Although Jay was reluctant to leave Lilith, he was softhearted and could not bear to see Lilith cry in front of him. Heaving up a sigh, he then left with Irish.

Far off to the west, the sun was sinking on the way. Irish went back home.

The evening glow colors the hill red, which reminds Irish of blood.

Her heart dropped suddenly. 

The cloud in the sky meant a rainy day the next day.

As she walked into her house, Irish didn't find Mia.

Taking a glance at the clock, Irish was confused since it was almost dinner time, but Mia was not in the kitchen.

Irish found Joseph's shoes at the door when she was about to change shoes.

Shocked, Irish can't believe Joseph was back so early today.

The sound was heard from the sanctum.

Irish felt weird and then walked to the room. It was Joseph's voice, and obviously, he was on the phone in a deep yet husky voice which made her feel anxious.

"Leo, it seems that you rack your brains to oppose me," said Joseph with a sneer.

Joseph was always busy with his work on the first day when Irish got to know him. Although Joseph would come back to sleep after their marriage, he always came back at midnight.

It seemed that his social intercourses was endless, and he had no private time at all.

Irish never complained about him for this because she knew what kind of man she was in love with. Joseph loved her but still felt guilty for Irish since he could spend too much time with her. Irish was considerate enough, so she usually waited for him back quietly.

That was why Irish would feel surprised for him early back.

To her surprise, Joseph was on the phone with Leo.

Irish thought Leo was in the room at first, but she then realized Joseph was on the phone with him since she didn't hear Leo's response.

However, what did Joseph mean?

Irish turned to be flurried again, and she could not settle down.

On the way back home, the sense of suppression and anxiousness lingered in Irish's heart which made her unsettled. And now she was getting more nervous after hearing the sentence from Joseph.

Irish didn't know what Leo said on the phone, and she also tried to stop eavesdropping and do what she should do. But she failed each time, and she just stood there motionless while she felt a sound kept telling her something had happened.

Joseph kept silent for a while and then said again, "However, I am not interested in this game."

Joseph replied briefly, but Irish didn't know what he meant.

And soon Joseph finished the phone. It was not until the sound of footsteps was heard in the room Irish then realized Joseph was walking out. She rushed to the living room and pretended she was clearing the table.

Her heart was bumping.

Irish didn't know why she was nervous and, in fact, she could open the door, told Joseph she had heard the conversation, and asked him what happened. Yes, she could ask Joseph directly because he was her husband, and it was natural for her to care about him.

However, Irish felt that Joseph would be displeased if he got to know Irish eavesdropped outside.

When she was thinking, Joseph walked out.

"You are back," said Joseph with a faint smile.

Although he showed a smile to Irish, she could feel his exhaustion.

"Hm...where is Mia?" asked Irish, who was struggling to preserve her composure.

Walking to the couch, Joseph sat down and drank a cup of coffee.

"I have asked her to go back," replied Joseph while taking a sip of coffee.

"Joseph, I have told you many times not to drink coffee at night. It will influence your dormancy," Irish said and tried to take over the coffee from his hands.

Irish amused Joseph and then grinned.

"You are really an interfering busybody," said Joseph with a smile. But he followed Irish's words and put down the coffee. Reaching out, Joseph held Irish into his arms and then lowered his head, kissing her gently.

His newborn beard tickled Irish, so she tried to push him away.

Taking the chance, Joseph took a bite at her fingers gently.

"You are my husband, and I care about you," replied Irish, like a spoiled kid.
