The Ice-Cold Executive Gets A Wife Novel - Chapter 51

Joseph noticed Sebastian’s long face and teased, “Why? Are you envious?”

Sebastian came back to his senses and didn’t want to admit it. “What’s there to be envious about? It’s not a big deal to become a father at thirty.”

Joseph naturally wouldn’t bother with his brother’s bitterness as the eldest brother. He gloated, “Being a father is indeed not a big deal. Unlike some people who are still single.”

Sebastian, who was single, was speechless.

He quietly put on his clothes and urged, “If you want to leave, hurry up and leave.”

“Let’s go to the hospital first to check your back,” Joseph muttered, “How did you get hurt? It looks so bad!”

Sebastian changed the topic. “Do you still need to pick up Trisha?”

“No, she’s waiting downstairs. I came in to get something and saw that your door was open, so I came in to look. I didn’t expect you to be home.”

As their parents were not often at home, only the kids were home. Anita was staying at the university’s dormitory, so Sebastian did not usually close the door properly.

Sometimes it was easier to open the door when he came back after drinking in the evening.

The two brothers went downstairs together, and Trisha sat on the sofa waiting for them.

Joseph and Trisha met through a mutual friend last year. Trisha wasn’t from around here. Although they were both children of wealthy families, they knew each other only by their names and didn’t know each other personally until their friends brought them together.

However, according to Sebastian, it was not by chance that they met through friends.

It was said that Trisha had met Joseph very early and fell in love with him at first sight. After moving to this city, she tried every means to create an opportunity to get to know him. After they got to know each other, she took the initiative to pursue him. She pursued him relentlessly. However, her efforts were not in vain. In the end, she managed to lock down the notorious bachelor.

Anita’s claim that Joseph only had a girlfriend because he had a good temper was not entirely true. It was only because he had a girlfriend that his temper improved.

Looking at Joseph, who was now elated because he was about to become a father, who would have thought that he was even colder than Sebastian a year ago when he was working.

Theresa saw the two brothers come down the stairs. She went over to give Joseph a hug and said, “Darling.”

Joseph pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the forehead. The two displayed their affection as if no one was around.

Sebastian felt awkward around that.

He felt that he needed to say something to remind them that he was there so that they would stop the display of affection.

He politely called out, “Hello, Sister-in-law.”

Trisha looked up at him happily. She obviously enjoyed the title of ‘sister-in-law’.

As she took the initiative to pursue a man, she especially wanted to gain the approval of the man’s family members. So when Sebastian called her ‘sister-in-law’, it made her very happy.

She left Joseph’s arms and scanned Sebastian up and down. She narrowed her eyes and smiled. “Oh dear, I haven’t seen Seb for a long time. He’s become more handsome again.”

Joseph immediately pretended to be unhappy. “More handsome? Is he more handsome than

Trisha nudged him. “Of course, my darling, you’re the most handsome.”

The two teased each other for a while. Joseph then said, “Seb’s back is injured. He needs to go to the hospital to get it checked. Since we’re going to the hospital as well, why don’t we go together?”

Trisha asked with concern, “What happened to your back? Is it serious?”

Sebastian was really not used to calling Trisha calling him ‘Seb’. Besides, Joseph usually addressed him by his complete first name.

However, he did not correct them for now. That would be too unappreciative.

“It’s nothing. I just accidentally got hit by something. It’s just a small bruise.”

Joseph said, “He just likes to act strong. I saw it. It was quite serious. There was a huge bruise on his back.”

Teresa said, “Then, hurry up and send him to the hospital! What a poor little thing.” Sebastian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “It’s not that bad.”

Joseph didn’t bother to argue with him and said, “I’ll go get the car. You guys wait here.”

Trisha nodded obediently.

The three went to the hospital. On the way, Joseph kept chatting with Trisha.

“Does Seb know about the baby?” “Yes, I told him at home just now.”

“What about Anita?”

“She doesn’t know yet. We’ll talk about it when she gets home at night.”

“Anita is staying at the university’s dormitory now. Why would she be home at night?”

“It’s Friday. She’ll definitely come back.”

Joseph raised his voice and asked Sebastian, “I remember that your company held a seminar at Rotary University today, right? Who did you send over? Tell that person to pick up Anita when that person’s back. ”

Sebastian replied, “I hosted that seminar myself today. In addition, Uncle Raphael is back. Anita should be headed home with him today.”

“Raphael is back?” Joseph raised his eyebrows in surprise. “How long has it been since we last heard from him? Why hasn’t he said something now that he is back?”

Raphael was a little younger than Joseph. Although he was once removed, Joseph had never addressed him as ‘uncle’.

Sebastian said quietly, “Isn’t he always like this?”
