Enchanted By His Charm



Joseph said nothing but replied with a faint smile.

Irish was so indignant. Reaching out, she pinched his waist. Joseph giggled and whispered beside her ears, "You better make concessions."

Irish pouted but said nothing more. People were coming and going in great numbers when subways arrived at a stop. Taking the chance, Joseph took her into a corner and protected Irish with her arms.

Irish looked at the woman who just stood behind Joseph and found that she looked so wistful when getting off the subway. A fat middle-aged man was dressed up in a suit standing behind them, and he was in stark contrast to Joseph.

Irish took a glance at Joseph, who didn't wear a tie and was dressed up in a casual shirt, but he still looked handsome.

"Joseph, you have attracted many people's attention, including those middle-aged men. Do you think they will have an erection?" Irish started to tell dirty jokes to him. 

Joseph stared at his wife, who was like a spoiled girl.

Irish couldn't help but laugh at him since Joseph looked so helpless.

A woman near them even took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Joseph.

"Hey, come to sit here," said the girl with a big smile.

Irish was astonished since she didn't expect those young girls to be so straightforward.

Joseph declined her invitation politely, but it seemed the girl was overenthusiastic. She stood up and then added, "Come over here. I am getting off soon." She said and even reached out to catch his wrist.

"Thank you," said Irish, who hastily pushed Joseph to sit down and prevented the girl from catching Joseph's wrist.

And soon, Irish was aware that they had caught people's attention again, especially those young girls.

Joseph smiled helplessly and forced Irish to sit down with his arms encircling her. The girl who offered the seat looked so jealous. A few minutes later, they finally reached their destination.

Joseph still remained calm while Irish rushed out of the subway immediately.

"What are you thinking?" asked Joseph, who found Irish was absorbed in her thoughts.

"You caught those girls' attention. You must be proud, right?" said Irish.

"Why? I also took the subway for work before," Joseph answered.

"Oh, I see. You mean you have been used to it. I so regret taking the subway with you today," said Irish, who rolled her eyes at Joseph.

Joseph burst out laughing as he heard this and then continued, "Trust me. You would never feel regret for it. You can drive your car to work tomorrow."

"Are you serious?" asked Irish excitedly.

"But the prerequisite is that you can't get drunk ever again," added Joseph.

Irish hastily promised him but then added, "I know you care about me because you know that the subway is too crowded."

"I am just afraid that those amorists will find pickings from you," responded Joseph.

"Joseph, could you speak normally?" complained Irish, who was clear that Joseph cared about her.

"I want to have a baby with him," said Irish to Cassie.

They met in a coffee house and chatted with each other. Cassie was shocked as she heard this and then couldn't help sighing with feeling, "You changed your mind after your wedding."

"Joseph treats me well, and I know he loves me so much," replied Irish softly.

"Are you bashful? Are you serious, Irish?" asked Cassie with a big smile while pinching her cheeks.

"Cassie stops laughing at me," said Irish while pushing her hand away gently.

"What the doctor said?"

"The doctor said that I need to nurse my body. Joseph found the best doctor for me. But Joseph said he won't allow me to risk my life."

"I agree with him. He is doing things good for you," said Cassie.

"But even a healthy woman may be at risk during childbirth. This is because women are rescued from the hands of death by the doctors during childbirth," said Irish.

"But you are in poor health. It is a different case," replied Cassie.

"But I have to change it."

"Don't you enjoy life without a child? It is unconstrained."

"I can live such a life with him for some time, but we can't live without a child for the whole lifetime," Irish responded in an upset voice.

Cassie thought for a while and then continued, "Don't worry. Now you just need to take care of yourself. After that, your baby will come to you."

Irish looked so disappointed while Cassie patted her shoulder to comfort her. "Take it easy. Let nature take its course." 

"How? Joseph avoids talking about it with me."

Cassie laughed, saying, "It is because he cares about you."

Irish said nothing but heaved a sigh.

"Don't be so upset. I have good news to share with you."

Irish looked at Cassie, waiting for her to continue.

"Roy decided to support your husband," said Cassie mystically.

A moment later, Irish then realized what Cassie had said. "Are you talking about financing and Joseph's decision to abandon the mine?"

Cassie nodded slightly.

"When did he decide?"

Cassie smiled at her and replied, "Roy just told me last night. There will be a shareholders' meeting this afternoon. And perhaps they have started the meeting."

Shocked, Irish gnashed her teeth and said, "Joseph didn't tell me at all. Big asshole."

"I can understand, Joseph. He just doesn't hope you get into trouble. What's more, he knows that you will support him, so you don't need to attend the meeting."

Irish also agreed with Cassie. She paused for a while and then asked Cassie again, "But why would Roy change his mind abruptly?"

Cassie flushed soon and then cleared her throat to reply, "Perhaps he thought Joseph was right."

"Although I know Roy is not an unreliable man, he is a decisive man on a critical occasion," Irish expressed her confusion.

"Who knows?" replied Cassie briefly. 

"Honey, you must persuade Roy, right?"

Cassie didn't reply to her but hesitated.

Seeing this, Irish realized it was Cassie who helped her to convince Roy. She moved closer to her best friend and then said with a big smile. "Cassie, you are really my best friend. I love you so much."

"It is just a little token for you."

"Oh, I almost forgot that Roy is your husband now, and he must always accept your advice. I am afraid he is a pussy-whipped man."

"Irish, stop laughing at him. Stay away from me."

"Cassie, you should have a child with him soon."

"Hey, Irish, don't change the subject."

"Why not? Both of you are in good health."

Cassie said nothing but glared at Irish. "I just don't want to have a baby so early."

Startled, Irish asked immediately, "Why?"

"Nothing," replied Cassie in a low voice.

"Well, do you take some contraception measures?"
