"Go home!" Ceres blurted out in annoyance.
"Home? It looks like you are not tired at all."
Ceres was like a deflated ball. She realized what Johny meant and immediately fell into his arms. "I'm tired. I'm very tired. I can't move."
She wanted to show off her might, but now, she seemed like an obedient cat.
Johny smiled and threw his phone aside. "I'll accompany you."
Ceres was in Johny's arms. She caressed his cheeks and chin with her fingers.
He was such a handsome man. Even though Ceres thought she wasn't a love-struck fool, she was still mesmerized by him.
But when she thought of the red spots on her face, the smile on her face disappeared.
"Johny, there is something I want to tell you."
"What's the matter?"
"I lied to you. I didn't make the red spots on my face myself. It was made by Jamie. She knew that the red spots on my face would disappear sometimes. She mixed something else in the potion, and the red spots on my face could not be removed."
Ceres originally did not intend to say it. She thought that maybe Matt would bring the antidote back.
However, she could not deceive him. If there were no antidote, her face would be like this for the rest of her life.
"I know."
"You know? How did you know?" Ceres jumped in surprise.
"The color of your red spot is similar to the previous one, but this time, the color is slightly deeper. In addition, you looked evasive when you speak to me. I am certain."
It turned out that it was also under his control.
"Then why didn't you ask?" Ceres looked at Johny in astonishment.
Ceres thought, 'His beautiful wife is in such misery. Why didn't he ask?
What if I could not recover my appearance?
Was he not afraid?'
"Why should I ask?"
Johny's question made Ceres a little upset.
"Don't you mind? Your wife is so ugly now. How can I go out to meet people? It's so embarrassing to bring me out! And don't you feel disgusted looking at me?"
Looking at Ceres's vexed expression, Johny laughed instead.
"Don't laugh! I am very serious! I am very serious now!" Ceres glared at Johny.
"I don't think there's anything to ask, because when I first met you, you were like this, and I didn't know that the red spots on your face could fade."
"Are you saying that I was like this when we first met?" Ceres stared at Johny with wide eyes.
Johny realized that he could not continue, so he simply hugged Ceres in his arms. "Alright, forget it. It's enough that you know that I won't dislike you."
"Jamie lied to me again!" Ceres knew that she had been fooled again by her own cleverness. She knew Jamie and forgot that Jamie also knew her.
"I knew it was her, but I don't blame her for this."
