Chapter 1497

Edwin saw Joanne's shocked expression and knew she had misunderstood him.

"Ahem..." Joanne sized him up strangely. "Mr. Atherton, you're really far-sighted. You even predicted that I would have my period at this time."

Edwin turned his back to her with a hint of embarrassment on his face. "Why don't you go inside and put it on? Are you waiting for me to help you?"

"OK."

Joanne went back to the bathroom, hesitating.

She thought, "Should I put it on or not? It's still summer. I'm asking fortrouble."

In a day or two, she would find an excuse to go to the shooting base for training. Then, Edwin would not be able to control her. Thinking of this, Joanne quickly put on a maxi pad. When she came out, she deliberately held the wall, looking weak.

Edwin frowned, bent down to pick her up, and walked toward the master bedroom.

Joanne knew she couldn't break free, so she didn't bother to struggle. She bit her lip, pretending to be in pain.

Edwin put Joanne back on the big bed and pulled the covers over her.

He lay down no more than two inches away from her.

It was the first time that they had shared a bed and been so close together after four years.

Joanne's heart was beating violently, and her body was so tense that she wanted to curl herself up and become invisible.

Edwin did not give her a hard time. Once he lay down, his breathing quickly became even, and he didn't make a bit of noise.

On the contrary, Joanne tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Looking around, she didn't see Edwin.

She quickly washed up and folded the covers. She smelled the fragrance of food when she left the bedroom.

The penthouse at East Imperial was about 360 square yards, far smaller than the Atherton family's Old House and Shoal Villa. The smell of food lingered in the penthouse. Joanne followed it to the dining room and saw Edwin bathed in the warm golden sunlight.

Facing the window, several maids from nowhere were putting the dishes on the table.

Edwin's suit was straight, and his muscles were well- defined. Without the languor from last night when he was naked, he looked cold.

"Good morning, Mrs. Atherton." Jadyn Baird, the head maid, and the young maids behind her bowed in unison.

Joanne had not been called Mrs. Atherton by servants for a long time. She raised her eyebrows. "Just call me Jo. Good morning, everyone."

Jadyn subconsciously looked at Edwin and said respectfully, "Since you remarried Mr. Atherton, we should call you Mrs. Atherton. We can't break the rules. We don't know what kind of breakfast you like, so we've prepared several kinds. Tell us which you like, and well prepare it for you in the future."
