Chapter 60
Elizabeth took out a thermos bottle from the bag on her hand, "I've made chicken soup for Master Dawson."
"Our father is in poor health and the doctor advised him to eat a bland diet. Such greasy food like chicken soup is not allowed." Joseph replied lightly.
"Then you can take it, for your hard work on taking care of father!" Elizabeth laughed.
"I don't like it. You can keep it for my brother, your husband." Joseph refused.
Elizabeth felt embarrassed to be so directly rejected by Joseph. She had no choice but to change the topic, "What did the doctor say our dad should have? Next time I'll cook something our dad likes and send it over."
"Something light as the doctor said. But I've ordered someone to make breakfast for father, so don't bother."
Though Elizabeth invited a snub, she didn't get angry. A mild reply still, "Then that will count on you, Joseph."
Joseph nodded, "I'm glad to be of help of my own father!"
Then Paige sent a message asking what he was doing. He replied, "I'm working."
"Are you free at noon? Shall we have lunch together? I'd like to cook your lunch myself." Another message from Paige.
The corners of Joseph's mouth curled up in a tender smile. He had such a great smile. No wonder so many women fall for him. Joseph Dawson did have a fatal attraction in such a rakish appearance.
Elizabeth put out a feeler, "Girlfriend, ha?"
"Yeah." Joseph replied faintly.
"Which family does the young lady come from? You two must look good together. When will you introduce her to us?" Elizabeth put on airs.
After ending the text with "Okay," Joseph Dawson looked away from the phone and looked back at Elizabeth with a polite fake smile.
"We're fine, thank you. Why don't you pay more attention to Andrew? He needs a girlfriend more. You should keep watching him instead of me!"
When Joseph mentioned Andrew Dawson, Elizabeth forced a smile and said, "He probably won't listen to me. And, he's abroad now.
"He'll be back soon. After all, this country is his home. He can't stay abroad for ever!" Joseph put in a word.
"Who said that?" Elizabeth was surprised to hear that Andrew Dawson was coming back.
"He told me in a call himself. So my dear brother didn't tell you that?" Joseph stared at Elizabeth with a
cold smile. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Joseph's cold manner made Elizabeth squirm.
It was as if the man in front of her could read her mind, which caused Elizabeth to flee the room after a few words.
Joseph caught a glimpse of Elizabeth's worried expression and a sneer crossed his face., "When the fox preaches, people should take care of their geese. You probably think yourself as the smartest person in the world, right, Elizabeth Green?"
A sneer came over his face as he got up from the sofa and started out.
At the entrance, he ordered the bodyguards, "If Elizabeth comes to the hospital in the future, don't let her in. If she asks why, tell her it's Master Dawson's order."
The bodyguard said "Yes, sir". Then Joseph looked at the nurse, "Please take good care of my father. I have something to take care of. I'll be back this afternoon."
Bob was coming back for lunch, so Paige went shopping at a nearby supermarket. She bought fish and shrimp, which Bob liked, and chicken as well.
While at the supermarket, however, Paige felt she was being watched.
Paige had become more alert since she got kidnapped last time. She did the shopping with a stiff upper lip kept while she was secretly observed the people behind her.
And she finally found something wrong that two people were following her within a certain distance.
A young tall man with sunglasses and a middle-aged heavy-jowled man.
Paige hurried out of the supermarket and started her car for home.
From the rear view mirror, the two men who had just followed her were driving a car respectively behind her.
They were from two groups? So did the other side whatever Paige sped up or slow down.
Paige became worried that she sent a voice message to Bob, "I noticed two men following me all the time!"
She got a reply in a second, "I'll be back soon. Calm down and go home directly. The security of the apartment is very strict, and they can't enter!"
Paige sped up into Lake View Nest. In the rear view mirror, she saw that the two cars tracing her slow down and stop on the opposite side of Lake View Nest.
Bob was right. The security of Lake View Nest was very strict, and the two men did not dare to follow in.
With a sigh of relief, she drove downstairs and returned to the apartment with the ingredients.
Paige made some dishes following the tutorial.
She found herself talented in cook. Because she was able to cook with ease after only a few practice given that she never cooked before.
The dishes tasted good. She put the dishes on the table, and Joseph came back at the moment.
Joseph put on a smile as soon as he went through the door, "It smells good. Looks like you're getting better at cooking!"
"Yeah, I discovered that I had a talent for cooking, and maybe I would open a restaurant in the future."
Bob reached out and squished her face, "I don't think it is a good idea. I don't want my girl to get too much publicity. From now on, you can only cook for me, you got it?"
"Pfft!" Paige rolled her eyes at Bob, wondering why he had been so tacky lately.
She served in a dish for Bob.
"Well, thank you for the fireworks last night. It must cost a lot, right? The money... How did you get the money?"
Calmly, Joseph took a bite of the chicken.
Looking at Paige's nervous expression, he smiled, "It costs me no penny!"
"No penny? What do you mean?" Paige looked at Bob.
"I mean, I gave you a fireworks show without spending a penny." Joseph lied with a calm smile.
"James, you know, the CEO, recently planned to buy a fireworks factory, and he wanted to test the fireworks and have them test them on site. And I talked to him to help me with my plans on making my girlfriend happy by making it on the beach and adding some words."
"Is this all?" Paige didn't really buy it, "But I didn't see James or anyone else there?"
"He doesn't check such little things out himself. The others had to leave for fear of accidents."
Joseph lied again. He was not afraid that the lie would be found out. At the worst, he would ask James to buy a fireworks factory.
Paige frowned, "So you didn't borrow money to set off fireworks? Let me know if you really did it. You know I hate liars the most!"
"No. Nobody would lend money to me except for you, babe." Joseph held Paige's hand, "Relax, I won't borrow money from others. For now, I don't owe anyone except you."
His prim manner convinced Paige that he hadn't borrowed any money, but the thought that James had arranged the fireworks made her sick.
James seemed to agree to his every request, which was incredible for Paige.
Why would a senior leader of the company be so good to a driver?
"So James wants Bob for real?"
