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.
