How to Get a Wife novel Chapter 207

After dinner, Joanna began to practice in front of the mirror again. Seeing that, Wilson couldn't help worrying about her.

"Honey, you must be tired. Go to bed early." Seeing that she had worked so hard, Wilson was very delighted. Wilson knew that Joanna would never fudge her effort out of self-esteem, but he still didn't want her to work so hard and get too tired.

Recently, Joanna suffered more severe dark circles under her eyes. Every time he woke up, she was still awake for practice what she had learnt in the course. Wilson saw every effort she made, and his heart ached. He couldn't help but blame himself in his heart that what Helen had requested to make Joanna look so haggard.

"Don't worry about me. I want to practice for one more hour. I have got familiar with the family rules and family profile in the morning and now I need to do the review." Joanna dared not relax at all. Kitty reminded her that if she failed the test this week, her study would be even more difficult. .

In order not to be looked down upon by Helen, Joanna had to work hard. She believed that she would be able to do well in her study, even though she had never learnt such things before.

"But..." Wilson still wanted to say something, but was pushed away by Joanna.

"Don't be so long winded. I will go to bed early. You have been working all day. Go to bed first. Don't worry about me."

Wilson knew it was useless to persuade her now and then. Since Joanna couldn't be persuaded once she had made up her mind, Wilson decided to forget about it and go for a bath.

After Wilson went into the bathroom, Joanna began to practice again. After a whole afternoon's practice, Joanna was much more proficient in smiling. She could almost do it without the aid of chopsticks, but in order to keep the smile steady, she had to do with the chopsticks. After the practice, it was eleven p.m. Joanna went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then went to the study with the learning materials she brought back.

When Wilson woke up again at midnight, it was almost 1 a.m. He reached for the bed beside himself and found it was empty.

Guessing that Joanna was still studying, he sighed, got out of bed and saw the light coming out from the crack between the door of the study. He fetched a glass of milk from the kitchen and brought it to the study.

Hearing some noise at the door, Joanna raised her head and saw Wilson walking in with a cup of milk in his hand.

"Are you still awake?"

"I woke up in the middle of the night. I guessed that you are still studying as you hadn't come back to the room yet, so I heated the milk. Drink it while it is tepid." Passing the cup to her, Wilson sat on the chair in front of the desk.

"Thank you." She took it over and had a sip. She felt refreshed at the sight of the alarm clock on the table. "I didn't notice it is so late." With that thought, Joanna smiled to Wilson, hoping to muddle through.

"From now on, I will cut electricity supply at 11 p.m. If you don't sleep on your own, I have many ways to make you obedient."

Joanna secretly looked at the face of Wilson. It was the first time for her to see him so serious to her, but thinking carefully, she was indeed wrong. He had been worried about her during these days.
