Chapter 124 Deborah Is Angry

Involuntarily, Joseph replied in an instant, “No.”

With that, he and Deborah were both stunned.

In the past three years, this was the first time that he rejected Deborah’s request so simply and neatly.

Deborah suddenly felt a wave of grievance and uneasiness. It had been three years. Couldn’t Joseph

really see that she wanted to get married?

Since she had forgotten about him in an accident, they had lived together for three years without

getting married.

For the first time, the invisibly accumulated emotions made her feel like a boulder was being pressed

on her back, making her suddenly out of breath.

She had never doubted it before, but now she couldn’t help but wonder for the first time whether

Joseph had no intention of marrying her at all.

He cared for her in every possible way, but he never intended to marry her.

He didn’t make her public, keeping her from being photographed.

To this day, she had won countless trophies and honors, but her name cannot even appear in front of

the public.

When the media mentioned her, she was referred as “y” or “Master Ann’s disciple”.

The outside world said she was mysterious, but she didn’t like being mysterious at all.

After so many years of hard work, every time she won an award, she hoped to stand on the stage, hold

the trophy high, and enjoy the flowers and applause.

She wanted to tell everyone that she was not the mysterious designer, not called Y, and that she had a

name, her name was Deborah.

But she couldn’t, because Joseph didn’t want her to stand on the stage.

Deborah still remembered that once, her side face was accidentally snapped when a new newspaper

took a picture of her design draft.

Later, she heard Joseph calling in the study in anger, saying that he didn’t want to see that newspaper

again.

The newspaper was involved in a lawsuit the next day and soon disappeared in Oceanview City.

Deborah didn’t want to dwell on those things and didn’t want to think about who was the one Joseph

wanted to hide her from.

She knew that many of the businessmen that Joseph had worked with had mistresses.

A rich and powerful man could give everything except marriage to his mistress.

Before her emotions broke down, Deborah put down her fork in a panic, stood up anxiously, and turned

upstairs.

As she went upstairs, she said, “Okay, I see. Go ahead.”

Joseph felt a sting in his heart as he immediately got up and chased after her.

He knew exactly what she had misunderstood, but he couldn’t explain it..

Deborah walked quickly. Knowing that Joseph was chasing her, she almost ran into the bedroom in a

panic.

When Joseph chased to the door of the bedroom, there came the sound of the door being locked.

Joseph anxiously stretched out his hands to twist the door, only to find it couldn’t be opened.

Deborah’s emotions must not get out of control, which was a reminder from Dr. Garza long ago.

She had a liver transplant, a miscarriage, and lost a lot of memory, all of which had a permanent effect

on her body.

Joseph tried every possible way to speak to her for a long tinje outside the door, but there was no

response from

Inside.

Not being able to see Deborah made his heart sink.

While knocking on the door, he called Dr. Garza,

As soon as the call got through, Joseph said, “Come to my place. I had a fight with Deborah. She is in

a bad mood and

locks herself in the door.”

Dr. Garza, who didn’t believe it at all, sneered, “You two had a fight? You want to trick me into RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

witnessing PDA. Not gonna happen!”

He knew Joseph and Deborah were an affectionate couple who stuck to each other all day long.

Deborah couldn’t stand a minute away from him. How could it be possible that they fought?

After finishing speaking, Dr. Garza was about to hang up the phone.

Joseph said in a deep voice, “It’s true. Just hurry over here.”

He was talking when the door inside was suddenly opened.

Deborah looked at him with red eyes. “I’m fine, don’t bother Dr. Garza.”

Seeing her coming out suddenly, Joseph spoke incoherently, “Ah, okay, then don’t come. It saves you

the trouble.”

Without saying anything more, Deborah turned around and went in again.

Afraid that she would lock herself again, Joseph immediately hung up the phone and followed inside.

Deborah seethed silently and sat on the sofa without saying a word.

Joseph sat down next to her. “I’m worried that you’ll be bored. Why don’t I ask the manager to arrange

a private room. for you next door where you can eat some snacks, and we’ll go home together after my

work is done.”

Deborah said lukewarmly, “I won’t go.”

Joseph coaxed, “Come with me. On the way home after work, I’ll take you to bring the necklace back

together.”

“When you come back, the jewelry store has already closed,” replied Deborah, not looking at him.

Joseph smiled and said, “No, I asked the store manager over there and was told the store doesn’t

close until twelve o’clock tonight.”

Deborali still turned her eyes away from at him. Joseph took her hand and held it in his palm.

“I just said something wrong, and I’m so sorry.”

Deborah stood up and said, “I won’t go with you. I’m going to take a shower and go to bed.”

Joseph held her hand tightly and said, “Sleep when you come back, and you can sleep over there. I will

carry you back later. I’ll be worried if you are alone at home.”

Deborah was finally worn down and went out with him.

In the past few yours, she had been dependent on Joseph, and she was not difficult to be roaxed.

After getting by the car, she suddenly said, “I heard from Mona that Mr. Green, who was talking to you

about cooperation a few days ago, has a temale celebrity as his mistress, and he’s married with kids.”

Joseph, whose mind was on seeing Ashton later, responded in an absent way, “The rumor seems to be

so. I’m not sure

about it

They were just business partners who wouldn’t pole theh noses into other’s private lives.

Deborah askest, “He has a wife and keeps a mistress. Isn’t it tired that he shuttles between them?”

Joseph finally sensed something was wrong and looked at her with add eyes. “Why do you suddenly

care about this?”

Deborah tried to dodge his sight and said, “Just checking”

Seeing that she was sitting far away, Joseph stretched out his hand to grab her to his side, raised his

hand and tapped her forehead with the knickles of his index finger.

“What are you thinking about? I have to talk to you

nonsense.”

ector some other day, and warn Mona not to tell you this

Deborah snorted coldly and said, “Mona said you men are all the same

The driver in front tailed to suppress laughter, and after Joseph gave him a cold look through the

rearview mirror, he immediately shut up and focused on driving.

Joseph said, his expression growing serious, “Debby, about getting married, I do have some

difficulties.

“But I promise you that I love you wholeheartedly. I’ve done property notarization accompanied by a

lawyer. If one day I am no longer by your side, all the assets under my name will be left to you.”.

Deborah looked sideways out of the window and ignored him.

She didn’t say a word until the car stopped outside the Jingron clubhouse.

Joseph took her out of the car and took another passage with her, saying that there were too many

people at the main

entrance.

Deborah didn’t find it strange.

This was Joseph’s property, and he would come over occasionally to inspect it. Usually, he wouldn’t go

in through the main entrance as he was uncomfortable with being followed or being the locus of

attention.

The manager quickly greeted him and said respectfully, “Mr. Black, Mrs. Mullen. Mr. Mullen’s here

waiting for you in the private room NO. 1 on the third floor.

“As you instructed, the room next door is reserved for Mrs. Mullen, with fruits and drinks.”

Joseph nodded, and took Deborah up to the special elevator.

The room reserved for Deborah was next to room NO. 1, but the directions to the exits were just

opposite

Joseph took Deborah in first, placed cushions and blankets for her, and let her sleep on the sofa for a

while when she was tired.

Knowing that he had business to discuss, Deborah urged him as soon as she entered, “I’ll just stay

here by myself. Do

your work.”

Joseph left the driver here to take care of her and told her not to run around before going out.

Pushing open the door of the box next door, as soon as he entered, Ashton’s eyes shot straight to him

as he asked, “Mr. Black, are you here alone?”
