From Contract To All My Life: I Own You novel Chapter 23

The door was opened, and the servant outside was about to knock on the door. The servant took back her action and breathed a sigh of relief. The servant had knocked on the door for a long time, but it didn't open. At first, the servant thought something had happened to Joy. She was so anxious that she was about to call Jimmy.

In fact, this was the sleeping habit of Joy. If it weren't for someone shaking her, she would have been difficult to wake up, so she didn't hear the knock on the door just now.

"Madam, it's time for you to go downstairs for dinner."

Surprised, Joy turned to look out of the window and found it was sunset.

"I'll get washed first."

After saying that, Joy closed the door and went back to her bedroom without looking at the servant again.

Joy walked to the bedside table and took out her phone. It was just half past five, and she set the alarm for six o'clock. She didn't expect to be woken up in advance. Joy muttered a little, and then went to the cloakroom to change her clothes.

Two minutes later, she changed her clothes and went downstairs quietly.

She walked carefully as if she was afraid of being found.

At the corner of the stairs on the first floor, she peeped around the living room secretly. She didn't go downstairs until she didn't see Jimmy.

The night always came very fast, and Joy was also frightened in the night.

Tonight was the first night after they got married.

At this time, Joy stood in front of the window of the bedroom and watched the outside without blinking. She had been in this state for more than two hours, but she did not see Jimmy's car coming back.

Don't think too much. She was not looking forward to seeing Jimmy. She just want to know when Jimmy will come back and make preparations in advance for a fierce battle.

Joy raised her wrist and found that it was already twelve o'clock. She guessed that it was too late for him to come back.

Taking off her coat, Joy went back to bed. Perhaps she had slept too much today, she was not sleepy at the moment.

The large bedroom was so quiet that no sound could be heard except for her breath. The sadness could not be suppressed, just like flood, pouring out in all directions.

Tears streamed down her cheeks and splashed on the white pillow. Joy's suppressed crying echoed in the bedroom.

Some things would go out of control once they started, just like Joy, who was crying in bed at the moment.

Joy also knew this, but maybe she had suppressed it for too long, and there was something that needed to be released.

Joy didn't remember how many years she hadn't cried, maybe ten years, maybe fifteen years. But she clearly remembered that since her father had a car accident, she had learned to be strong, because crying could not solve anything.

But now, her newly married husband didn't come home at night.

Although their marriage was just a contractual marriage, she had been full of expectations for marriage and family since childhood. What was happening now was totally different from her expectations. It was not for anything else, only because of upset feelings.

After a long time, Joy fell asleep. Her little face was covered with tears.

The sun shone through the window into the room. It was already noon, but the woman on the bed hadn't woken up yet.

Joy's sleeping face was terrible. Half of the quilt on the bed was pressed under her body, and her nightgown was rubbed off by her.

Suddenly, she kicked the half quilt off the bed with great strength.
