Chapter 39: Joseph Takes Action!

Joseph frowned as he listened to the news. He let out a cold snort. “So, that’s how it is. Tell those people if they want Lucy to leave, I’ll make them all disappear!” Hearing this, the other person was terrified out of their wits and quickly responded. “Yes! I will deliver your message!” With that, Joseph waved his hand. “You may go.” After the person left, Joseph turned his attention back to Lucy. Lucy was talking to her daughter when she suddenly heard a voice in her ear. “Sweetie, it’s time for bed.” She jumped in surprise! But when she turned around, she only saw Joseph standing there, with nothing out of the ordinary. “When did you come in? How do you walk without making any sound? It’s so amazing~” Lucy looked at Joseph curiously. But he didn’t explain, merely shaking his head. “Maybe because your mind is all on our baby right now, you didn’t notice me?” Lucy thought for a moment. “Is that so?” Then she noticed that Tangna was indeed a bit sleepy. “Tangna, sweetheart, are you ready for bed?” “Yes.” Tangna answered happily. Lucy shook her head helplessly. “You! Alright, alright, let’s go to bed. Otherwise, how will we have the energy to play again tomorrow? Right?” “Okay!” Watching Lucy and Tangna head to bed, Joseph went outside to start investigating Lucy’s family matters. “After our investigation, we found that Mr. Simpson has indeed left Lucy’s family. It seems he is genuinely trying to be good to Lucy this time.” Joseph said calmly. “If this is being good to Lucy, then your definition of good is too simplistic. To me, this isn’t goodness; it’s just a guilty conscience.” “Furthermore, I think Simpson feels he has lost a lot of face and is trying to regain his dignity from this situation.” “Keep an eye on them. I expect we’ll get some news soon.” A few hours later, Joseph looked at the now sleeping Lucy. He picked up Lucy’s phone. At the same time, his subordinates reported back to him. “Reaper, after our investigation, we found you were right!” “Simpson has been taken back! Thor won’t let him go!” “It looks like they’re planning to kidnap Lucy soon!” Hearing this, Joseph narrowed his eyes. “Then proceed as I instructed.” “Yes!” Then, Joseph turned and walked over to Lucy. He gently patted Lucy’s cheek. “Wake up.” “Hmm?” “Go back to sleep.” Seeing Lucy obediently listen, Joseph knew he had to protect both of them well. Suddenly, Lucy’s phone rang. Joseph answered the call, and Thor’s furious voice came through. “Lucy, you better come back!” “If you don’t come back, I’ll kill your parents!” Hearing this, Joseph smiled slightly. “Oh? So tough?” Thor was stunned. “It’s you? Where’s Lucy?!” Joseph spoke slowly. “I recall warning you all not to mess with Lucy. Now, you’re just asking for it, aren’t you?” He hung up the phone and immediately ordered Azazel and his men to take action. “First step, hack all of Lucy’s family members’ phones.” “You know what to do next, right?” Soon it was daylight. Lucy and Tangna woke up, and seeing Tangna dressed in a beautiful outfit, Joseph’s mood brightened. Lucy said. “Tangna, how about we go out for breakfast?” “Today is Sunday, why don’t we go out and play?” As she spoke, Lucy looked at Joseph. “You come too.” Hearing this, Tangna happily jumped around. “Great! I can go out and play too!” Then she looked at her dad. “Dad, let’s go out and play. We haven’t been to the mall in a long time.” Seeing this mother-daughter duo, Joseph felt much better. But he still glanced at his watch. “Let’s go eat first.” “It will take a while before we can start shopping.” “Alright.” Lucy nodded. After they finished eating, they planned to go shopping. Joseph looked at Tangna with a smile. “Wasn’t the place we went yesterday a mall?” “You know, Dad, yesterday’s place only had clothes for me. How can that be~ You should buy clothes for Mom too~” Speaking of Mom... Joseph turned to look at Lucy. Tangna suddenly looked at them. “Mom, Dad, can you kiss? I heard that if you kiss, it means you’re very happy! I really want to see you kiss~” “Hmm, do you like us living together?” Lucy suddenly asked Tangna. Tangna nodded vigorously. “Of course!” “I love you both! Mom, Dad, kiss! Hurry!” Hearing this, Lucy blushed. Although... She felt sweet inside. But... Thinking about what Joseph had done before, she felt even more shy. So Lucy could only hide behind Joseph. Seeing this scene, Joseph smiled indulgently. Joseph was also quite shy. Kissing Lucy was something he hadn't done in a long time. If he kissed her directly... “Ahem, let’s go to the mall!” “But today, Aunt Beelzebub will go to the mall with you. I have something to do.” Tangna looked a little disappointed. “Dad, aren’t you coming with us?” Lucy looked down at her. “Tangna, be good. If Dad says it’s important, then it must be.” Tangna looked disappointed. “Important? More important than being with me? Dad, will you be in danger?” “Tangna, don’t worry, okay? Dad is a hero. He can handle everything. And Dad will buy you all the clothes you want, okay?” Hearing this, Tangna finally stopped complaining. “Alright, if you don’t have time, I’ll go with Mom. Don’t forget, I want to buy dresses!” Tangna happily held Lucy’s hand and headed to the mall. Watching them leave, Joseph couldn’t help but smile. “Silly kid, even if I have to work, I’ll always be with you.” “But I need to take care of some things first... Once we resolve Lucy’s family matters...” “Lucy, wait for me. I’ll rescue your parents.” “Not only that, but I’ll also give you a home!”
