Chapter 1469
Although Tail had met Edwin, Joanne bought a pair of children's sunglasses for her.
Tail would have to wear them outside from now on, just in case.
Unexpectedly, Ada burst into her bedroom the next morning.
Joanne was getting dressed with Tail when she was startled by the sudden intrusion.
Tail's big eyes opened wide, and she looked curiously at the door. "Ada?"
"Quick! That jerk is at the door. You need to take Tail and hide!" Ada urged Joanne anxiously, her breath coming in short gasps.
Joanne froze for a moment. "Who?"
"My mother told me earlier to prepare for guests. There's a big shot visiting us today. Then I learned it was Edwin. He informed us about his visit, but I think he's coming for you."
Along with Ada's anxious voice, Joanne's nerves tensed.
Did she even need to guess? Edwin's visit was just a pretext for him to cause her trouble. How could there be such an annoying pest that couldn't be shaken off?
Joanne hastily picked up Tail and said indignantly, "He won't be that bold to enter the bedroom. Tail and I will hide here. It will be fine.”
"Makes sense. Stay here then." Ada nodded in agreement.
"Tail, don't run around."
Tail’s big, innocent eyes showed curiosity. "Is someone coming to catch us?"
Joanne replied seriously, "Yes, the trafficker I told you about yesterday is at the door today. He wants to abduct you, my baby."
"Goodness, I’m scared of child traffickers!" Tail shivered, throwing herself into Joanne's arms and snuggling up against her, "I don't want to be abducted by the trafficker. I want to stay with you."
"So, you can't run around."
