Chapter 1010
Otherwise, if Edwin divorced her, she would not know if Noah would take good care of her child.
Biting her lip, Joanne's eyes dulled as though shrouded with mist.
She blinked hard a few times, squeezed her chubby face, showed a cute smile in front of the mirror, and sniffled. She managed to suppress her inner sadness.
Joanne opened the bathroom door, and her long hair, which was originally loose, was tied into a bun, revealing her chubby face.
That appearance made Noah a little jealous again.
After all, she had gone through many things and endured so much stress that her face was full of wrinkles.
’Joanne." Noah walked toward her fondly, took her hand, and winked playfully. ’I want to work in Eclipse, but Eddy said that you might be unhappy and won't pass my interview.”
’Eddy? Such an intimate way of calling him...' Joanne felt a little disgusted by this.
Only someone close to Edwin like Granny Atherton would call him Eddy.
There was a hint of expectation in Edwin's expression, expecting Joanne to refuse immediately, but Joanne just responded with a smirk as if she did not take Noah's plan of working in Eclipse to heart.
"I won't be angry, don't worry."
’What right do I have to be angry at you? I’m just a birth-giving machine to Edwin,' scoffed Joanne sarcastically.
She began to dislike Noah a little more at this point.
If she wanted to work in Eclipse Entertainment, she should find Edwin instead of hinting at him by using her.
Edwin squinted and reiterated, "Won't you be angry?"
"Miss Sinclair and you were classmates, and she's a talented individual. If she can work in Eclipse Entertainment to help you, I'm sure Eclipse will have a bright future!" Joanne said something against her will, her face frozen with a smile.
The air in the ward was terrible.
She desperately wanted to escape from the ward, and she did not want to be in between the two anymore.
Edwin's face suddenly became serious, and he smirked. "Since my Missus Atherton is so generous and kind-hearted, Noah, I want to see you there next Monday."
Joanne pursed her lips and gave an excuse to leave the ward.
However, she did not know that an even bigger storm was approaching.
It was already late at night, but the whole Atherton Manor was brightly lit.
Joanne was fetched to the gate of the manor. Unlike the laughter in the past, the manor tonight was very quiet, so quiet that even a needle dropped on the floor could be heard.
"Madam Joanne." Kelly was waiting for her on the walkway outside the living room. Her tone was no longer as respectful as before. "I thought you didn't dare to come back. Get in. Old Madam Atherton and the elders have been waiting for you for a long time.”
A sinking feeling loomed over Joanne as she cautiously asked, "Did I do something wrong."
