Chapter 1448
To avoid trouble, Joanne casually chatted with Patrick for a while and then hung up the phone.
She broke into a cold sweat unknowingly.
Joanne thought, 'I must protect my deary.'
She breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, she felt a cold gaze on her. Joanne looked over and saw Edwin's sharp, searching eyes.
He asked doubtfully, "Who is the 'deary' on your phone, Patrick or that little girl?"
Joanne's heart lurched. She raised her eyebrows slowly." Does it matter to you?"
"Of course." Edwin's eyes narrowed slightly. He leaned down and said word for word, "Patrick is already Ms. Brown's fiance. Based on your messy relationship with Jack, this deary cannot be him, so it could only be that little girl. How is she related to you? Why do you call her so intimately?"
Sure enough, Edwin didn't believe Patrick's words. Joanne got nervous.
"Patrick has said she is his daughter. Why can't I call her intimately? I am naturally fond of children. They are like angels. I can call her what I like. This is none of your business, Mr. Atherton. You're such a busybody."
"You're lying." Edwin raised his eyebrows. "Then why did Patrick's daughter call you in the middle of the night? It's nighttime in Mourpa. Does she not know when is the right time to make a call?"
Joanne was stumped for a moment and then sneered, "How could children know that? You're ridiculous."
This time, Edwin was stunned.
His handsome eyes narrowed as if he was trying to find out Joanne was lying.
