Chapter 2
Joshua,you must be upset in the past few years.”
“I know you don’t love her, Why don’t we meet up tonight?
I miss you so much.”
When the screen turned off again, Anika still couldn’t recover from the shock.
Anika took a taxi and went to Joshua’s office
On the way, Anika looked out through the window.It seemed the rain would never stop.
Joshua didn’t like it when Anika appeared at his office.
Thus, Anika would always use the freight elevator at the back of the office building.
Payton Burke was Joshua’s personal assistant. When he saw Anika coming over,all Anika get was a cold
greeting.
“Ms.Carey.”
Nobody working for Joshua saw Anika as Mrs.Conan.
Anika’s relationship with Joshua never went public.
Seeing Anika bringing over his phone, Joshua couldn’t help but frown
She was always doing things like this. No matter if it was a lunchbox,a file,a coat or an umbrella,as long as Joshua left something at home, Anika would always bring it over to his office by herself.
“I’ve told you that you don’t have to bring my stuff over for me on you
your own.
Anika paused
“I’m sorry.I forgot that.”
Anika blamed herself for not remembering what Joshua had said.
It shouldn’t be her memory.Perhaps she was driven by the fear she sensed when she saw Violet’s
message.
Anika feared that Joshua would be gone…
When Anika was about to leave she couldn’t help but turn around and ask Joshua that

question “Joshua,are you still in love with Violet?”
Recently, Joshua always found Anika strange.
Anika started to forget things and ask silly questi
How could such a woman play well the role of Mrs.
Conan?
Joshua replied impatiently, Get yourself occupied if you are not.”
Anika didn’t get a certain answer.
Anika tried to look for a job before,but in the end her request was rejected by the Conan family They
believed it would bring the Conan family disgrace.
Rachel Conan, Joshua’s mother,originally from the Edward family.even reacted bluntly to Anika’s atten
“Are you trying to tell the rest of the world that Joshup has married a disabled woman with a hearing
problem?”

Disabled woman…..
When she got home, Anika tried to get herself occupied.
Her place was immaculate,yet she didn’t stop cleaning it
That was the only way Anika felt she was of some use.
Anika didn’t get any message from Joshua that afternoon.
In such cases, Joshua would be either too angry or too busy to text her…
The night fell.
Yet Anika couldn’t fall asleep.
Suddenly,her phone rang,and the ringtone sounded like a rush.
It took her some time to hear the ringtone and take over her phone.
It was an unknown number.
Anika answered the phone and heard a sweet yet scary female voice
It was from Violet.
“Am I calling Anika?Joshua is drunk. Can you please come and pick him up?”
Chapter 2
Joshua was at the Luxe Club
He was seated in the most prominent seat,drinking mindlessly while Violet sat next to him.
The room was crowded with rich playboys,trying to make Violet sing for them.
“Violet, didn’t you say that you are here to win Joshua back?”
“Come on singing and drown him in your love song!”
Violet was pretty and nice to get along with She was also Joshua’s first love. Thus, these playboys would

Violet responded with grace.She then sang an exotic song called “Take Me to Your Heart“.
“Take me to your heart,take me to your soul…”
Her sweet voice was so soothing that everyone in the room went silent.
Now that she’s finally back, say something.”
“She has expressed how much she loves you.”
He was dumbfounded to see Anika outside the door,
Joshua’s eyes darkened when he saw Anika.
Surprisingly Violet was the one who broke the silence.
Anika didn’t reply before Joshua stood up impatiently
With that, Joshua walked directly to Anika. “What are you doing here?”
thought you were drunk I’m here to pick you up home,”
Joshua lowered his voice and questioned Anika so that the conversation was kept to the two only.
“Are you here to remind people that I got tricked by you three years ago?”
Joshua looked gloomy.“Don’t show yourself around anymore. It only makes me hate you more.”
Seeing Joshua off Anika felt at a loss and couldn’t recover for quite some time.
