Hmm――

Opening her eyes in a daze, a strong feeling of dizziness made Joanna subconsciously scream, she slowly got up holding her sore neck, and her eyes scanned the familiar environment around her...... The living room at home?

The fragmentary memories began to be gradually pieced together, and the scenes of last night seemed to be like a misty shadow play in her mind, Joanna looked at the thin blanket covering her body, the water cup on the table, and Nina sleeping on the sofa opposite, and her complicated thoughts suddenly became clear and clear.

Joanna, who wanted to understand the cause and effect of the matter, secretly shook her head and smiled bitterly, causing trouble for Alango again.

Wrapped in her collar, Joanna walked straight to the window, pushed open the wooden window, the bright sunlight instantly illuminated the entire dim living room, she squinted, her hands propped on the windowsill, and enjoyed the fresh air blowing in the cool breeze of the early morning.

"Mom! You're back?! ”

At some point, Nina woke up, and she propped herself up from the couch and whispered sleepily to Joanna by the window.

"Nina baby, it was my mother's fault yesterday, and I made you wait for most of the night and didn't come back, can you forgive your mother?"

Joanna turned to Nina on the couch and held her in her arms guiltily.

"Mom! Actually, I was wrong yesterday, and I should apologize to you. Nina bit her lip, her eyes flooding.

"Nina is such an obedient and sensible good child, so my mother decided to accompany Nina today, no matter where you want to go, or what you want to buy, my mother will promise you." Joanna couldn't help but snort.

"If my mother is with me today, what will happen to the business of the shop?" Nina asked.

"Don't worry, the matter of the shop has been dealt with yesterday, and it doesn't matter if it is closed today." Joanna was relieved and moved.

"Great!" Nina finally couldn't hide the cheers in her heart.

Bell Bell Bell -

At this time, Xia Lan appeared outside the living room at an inopportune time, holding a fork in her hand and tapping on an empty plate to remind the mother and daughter that it was time for breakfast.

"Arango. Nina and I will go to the restaurant first and then go to the restaurant, I'm tired of you. Joanna sorted out her emotions and said to Xia Lan with some embarrassment.

Xia Lan nodded and left without saying a word.

"Mom! Can you let Uncle Ugly hang out with us today? After the excitement, Nina sat on the sofa and put on her shoes, and asked Joanna with a cautious face, "Otherwise." Uncle Ugly will be lonely at home alone. ”

"Absolutely! As I've already said, it's up to Nina Baby to decide today! Joanna smiled.

"Mom is really the best mom in the world." Nina jumped up, put her arms around Joanna and couldn't help but kiss her fiercely.

After enjoying a simple breakfast of milk cereal with white bread, Nina and Joanna went back to the bedroom to dress up for a long time before coming down, Xia Lan sat alone in the living room, and when she saw the figure of the mother and daughter, her eyes stayed for a while, in fact, it was no wonder that he would be like this, because Joanna changed her previous simplicity and rarely put on an elegant lilac dress. The face of the slightly powdered Dai is radiant, and the hair that is usually tied casually is carefully combed and coiled into a dignified lady-style bun at the back of the head, as if she has changed back to the noble woman who was as gentle as water.

"Hee-hee...... Was Uncle Ugly stunned just now? ”

Nina was wearing a white dress and jumped at Xia Lan, and the neat bangs on her little head flew with it.

Xia Lan touched Nina's head and nodded very honestly, in his eyes, the current Joanna did not look like a mother who had given birth to a child at all. When she walks with Nina, she is more like a pair of beautiful and cute sisters.

"Nina is obedient! Don't play a trick on Uncle Alain! Joanna blushed as if she remembered the events of last night. hurriedly beckoned Nina to come to his side.

"Okay, okay!" Nina pouted and walked back to her mother, turning into excitement again. "Let's hurry up! Yesterday, I heard Chubby said in class that there was a juggling troupe performance in Vanilla Square today, and maybe you won't be able to see it if it's late! ”

……

……

"Brother Alan, I'm really sorry for what happened last night."

Walking through the bustling streets, Nina happily walked around the surrounding stalls and shops by herself, as if everything was full of fun in her eyes. Joanna and Charan walked side by side behind them, oblivious to the deliberate or unintentional glances of others.

"If it weren't for Brother Alain's careful care, if Nina saw my ugliness, it would have caused a bad impact, and I was really an unqualified mother." Joanna said with a slight self-deprecation.

Xia Lan didn't hear it, and just stared at Nina swinging in front of her.

"Ugh—" Joanna sighed deeply. Muttered words of unknown meaning. "I used to think that I would be able to live a stable and long-term life with Nina in Fayan after leaving Gerves, but now I think about it, I'm still too naïve."

She looked at the bustling street with her eyes intently, and there seemed to be something unspeakable in her heart, but she was still unwilling to explain it clearly.

Xia Lan glanced at her, this woman who was strong on the outside, but actually very fragile on the inside, or was it true of all women of this type?

With her excellent appearance and upbringing, even if she has children, she can easily remarry and live a good life, but she has to support herself and her daughter by herself, firmly believing that she can live well without relying on anyone.

However, the world is not as beautiful as she imagined, and many things will automatically come to you if you don't want to touch them.

"Lady Joanna! What a coincidence! Why are you so free to take your daughter out to play today? ”

When passing through the street, a patrol guard of ten people happened to collide head-on, led by a sturdy man in a black uniform, with good facial features, a cold face revealing a non-angry and self-righteous momentum, the first impression gave people a full sense of security, when he met Joanna, the smile on the corner of his mouth immediately ruined his overall image, because his smile was very uncomfortable.

"It's Chief Valker, good day!" Joanna's face changed, and she forced a smile to greet the other party.

Valk looked Joanna up and down for a moment before smiling and said, "Lady Joanna seems to be in a good mood, it's rare to see you dressed so beautifully." ”

"Chief Valker has won the prize! If nothing else, I'm going to take Nina to Vanilla Square to see the juggling troupe perform. Joanna said quietly with a smile on her face.

"Really?" The smile on Valker's face grew. "Then I won't disturb your interest."

Joanna was nervous and left in a panic.

"That's right! Lady Joanna, do you need to think again about what we discussed last night? ”

Suddenly, Valker's voice behind her made Joanna pause, and instead of looking back, she continued to move forward.

"No, I've thought it through."

"It's a shame." Valk shook his head and smiled as he stared at Joanna's back as if fleeing.

Smack-

After saying this, Valker's hand suddenly slapped on Alain's shoulder, who didn't have time to follow Joanna away.

"Alain!"

Alain looked sideways at him, the security captain of the neighborhood patrol guard.

"The world has been so chaotic lately, have you heard? Vernal on Rye Street was actually killed the day before yesterday. Valker sighed with a compassionate attitude: "As the security captain of this neighborhood, I will never let the murderer go unpunished!" ”

He patted Alain on the shoulder again, his eyes filled with meaning, before waving his hand to the team to leave.

Xia Lan patted the gray layer on her shoulder, and her eyes under the bandage were still indifferent.

"Rango! Excuse me! I just left you behind. Joanna unexpectedly went and returned, holding the restless Nina in her hand, and looked at her quietly with a nervous gaze. By the way, Valk didn't have any trouble for you, did he? ”

Xia Lan shook her head.

"Whew-" Joanna breathed a sigh of relief, and her mood became relaxed. "Let's go, Nina, a naughty fellow, I just found it with great difficulty."

"It's obviously mom and ugly uncle, you're too slow!" Nina protested dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes, yes! Nina is right about everything she says today! Joanna replied casually.

Nina snorted softly, her eyes flashed with a sly brilliance, and taking advantage of Joanna's momentary relaxation, she violently broke away from her hand and fled quickly, even turning around and grimacing.

"This kid! Run slower! Watch out for falls! Joanna, who followed behind, reminded angrily.

Vanilla Square.

The juggling troupe gathered around a large number of children and parents, constantly bursting with exclamations and applause, and every time a show was finished, a funny clown guy would hold a golden basin to ask for a reward, and he would always return with a full load after a lap. There is no complicated concept of money children, and when they see other children throwing money to the clown, they can't help but pull the parents around them to ask for money as a reward, in the eyes of the children, throwing money to the clown is more like a game.

Ever since she met Valker, Joanna had been acting a little absent-minded, and although she had done a good job of hiding it in front of Nina, she couldn't hide it from Charan's eyes.

He doesn't ask, because he's mute.

He didn't want to ask, because he could roughly guess the relationship between the two.

It is rumored that there is a big man in the neighborhood who has taken a fancy to Joanna, and there is no doubt that this so-called big man is eighty percent of Valk.

From the conversation between the two, Joanna's words and deeds to Valck's subtle threat at the end, the contours of the entire incident can be sketched lightly.

It is nothing more than courtship, and it is not ready to implement the next means.

It's just too low-level, too boring.

Goods like Valk have killed many of them in the past, but once they were, and now they were enough to cause trouble for Charlan.

As the saying goes, it's a disaster, and sure enough.

He was pondering a question.

Do you need to leave Joanna's mother and daughter and fly away alone. (To be continued.) )
