Chapter 1009
Joanne scratched her nose and frowned.
’So she was his first lover? Why did he lie to me that she was just his classmate? Is it because he's afraid that I'll tell Grandma?' Joanne pondered.
"Hello, Miss Sinclair, I'm Joanne. Joanne Winters, a female artist under Mister Atherton's company!"
"Joanne?" Noah's sight jumped between Joanne and Edwin, and she smiled gently. ’Fortunately, I've seen your profile before. You supported an entertainment company all on your own."
Liking to be praised, Joanne's eyes seemingly twinkled. She wanted to play it off coolly, but the lifting corners of her mouth said it all.
Edwin looked at Joanne, who was smiling secretly, and his already aching head worsened. Wasn't she eavesdropping at the door? Isn't she suspicious when she saw me with Noah?'
"Noah, Joanne's being humble here. She has another identity to her, so let me introduce her to you," said Edwin' smirking.
’Another identity?"
’Didn't you always want to see my wife? Here she is. You can call her' Sister Joanne' if you want to be more respectful." Edwin smiled slightly and raised his eyebrows playfully.
"Are you kidding? Shouldn't your wife be the daughter of some sort of wealthy, famous family?" Noah looked at Joanne in disbelief.
Joanne was flustered at this. What the hell is he doing?!'
"Missus Atherton, come here.' Edwin ignored Noah and waved to Joanne, signaling her to be at his side.
Joanne glanced at the pale-faced Noah, obediently walked over, and saw Edwin handing her a plate of lychees by the bed. "Peel it for me."
"Miss Sinclair is still here," Joanne muttered.
Edwin glanced at Noah as if nothing had happened and smiled at her. "Isn't this just right? Satisfy your vanity and let her see how much we love each other."
Joanne had no choice but to do what Edwin told her to. She thus peeled the lychees one by one and fed them to Edwin.
Edwin opened his mouth to catch the lychee, and his warm tongue inadvertently swept over Joanne's slender fingertips.
Joanne felt like she had an electric shock. She almost dropped the lychee plate onto the floor, and her pretty face flushed red.
She did not usually see him flirting with her like this. She knew Noah still had feelings for him, so he must be trying to use her to irk his ex-girlfriend.
Deep jealousy flashed in Noah's eyes.
She and Edwin used to be that close, but everything changed after five years.
"My stomach hurts a little. Miss Sinclair, can you come and help me feed Mister Atherton?" Joanne swiveled her gaze away, waved to Noah, and quickly ran into the bathroom.
Even when the door was shut, Noah and Edwin still stared at each other.
"Why did you marry...Miss Winters?" Noah could not reconcile herself to the fact that Edwin had married someone else.
Edwin glanced at the fruit plate in her palm and smiled coldly. "If I didn't marry her, do you think I'd marry you?"
