Chapter 183: Joanna's Tears
After listening to Edith's words, Joanna was stunned at first, and then looked at Albert with malicious intent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The other party's face was flushed with nervousness at this time, and his mouth opened wide, trying to explain, but he didn't know what to say.
Joanna touched the little girl's head, "Then do you think I can do it?"
"Unlikely. Edith shook her head earnestly, analyzing like a little adult, "You're so pretty, Miss Joanna, and believe me, Abel doesn't deserve you." ”
Joanna "fluttered" a smile, and even the cold Catherine couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
"Am I ugly?" Albert protested to the little girl.
"It's fine. Edith hurriedly explained, comforting the "injured" Albert, "It's not particularly ugly, um... Well, at least you're a good dad. However, her comfort dealt Albert a heavy blow again.
"Let's go, Edith's good father, and show me and Catherine around your house. Looking at the dejected Albert, Joanna smiled slyly, she finally teased Albert once.
"And Fang Wen. Catherine, who was silent, spoke, leaving Albert embarrassed again.
"That's right, and Fang Wen. Joanna nodded in agreement. As they spoke, the group had already crossed the chic courtyard and arrived at Albert's doorstep.
"Fang Wen is just my friend. Albert said weakly and pushed the door open.
"Why are you back so early today?"
As soon as everyone entered the house, before they could sit down, a voice suddenly came from the kitchen. Immediately after, Linda, wearing an apron, came to the living room, "You're back." Mr. Albert. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes. The two girls behind Albert were immediately spotted. Hurriedly brushed his loose hair, and said politely: "Good morning, two beautiful young ladies." ”
"Excuse me, are you Fang Wen?" Joanna looked at each other as she spoke.
The woman in front of her looked almost 30 years old, and her face was not pretty, which made Joanna feel a lot more at ease. But I have to admit that the other party is in very good shape. Better than both her and Catherine.
"No, that's my mom, Linda. Jon Jon Jr. replied.
Joanna nodded, glanced at Albert with a little meaning, then looked at Linda, and said politely, "Fortunately, Ms. Linda, my name is Joanna." ”
"Fortunately. Linda nodded and said playfully, "You talk, I'm going to work in the kitchen." ”
Linda returned to the kitchen. Joanna dragged Albert alone into the courtyard. She sat on a swing under the banyan tree, with a pretty face. He asked in a low voice, "Tell me the truth, how many women are hidden in your house, and what is your relationship with them?"
"Linda is Jon's mother, you already know that. Fang Wen is my friend and employee, and she is the manager of my store. Albert explained.
"So you're bringing the staff to live at home?" asked Joanna with a gloomy face, dissatisfied.
"Well, if you don't like it, I can get them to move out. After a brief silence, Albert said helplessly.
"Do you think I'm such a stingy and cold-blooded person in your heart? Do you think I'm trying to get them to move out? The reason why I'm angry is entirely because you hid the truth, you should have told me about Fang Wen and Linda earlier. Joanna lowered her voice, both aggrieved and angry.
"I don't want to hide it, I just want to find a suitable opportunity, otherwise I wouldn't have brought you to my house at all......" Albert was still trying to explain, but in the middle of his sentence, he suddenly noticed Joanna's red eyes, "Yes, any explanation is pale. As he spoke, he took out the handkerchief in his jacket pocket and gently wiped the tears from her pretty cheeks, "Don't do this, Joe, it's my fault." I'll tell you anything in the future. ”
Joanna twitched her nose, looked at Albert affectionately, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Eber, I don't want to quarrel with you, but I can't control myself." You know I've never liked to ask questions, but I can't do it to you. ”
After a pause, she lowered her head, covered her cheeks with her hands, and said bitterly: "I want to know everything about you, it's like I'm crazy, I can't control my emotions." ”
"Me too. Albert crouched down, leaned on Joanna's legs, and said softly, "Joe, stop crying." ”
"Eber, do you hate me for that? I feel like a vexatious little girl. Joanna choked up, caressing Albert's blood-red hair.
"Of course not, in my heart, you'll always be perfect, I swear. Albert said softly, then stood up and gave a knightly salute that was not quite standard. He took Joanna's hand, smiled and said, "Let's go in, my countess." ”

When the two of them returned to the house holding hands, there was one more person in the living room.
"When did you come back?" Albert asked, startled, and then introduced Joanna, "She's Fang Wen." ”
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Fangwen, my name is Joanna. Joanna smiled and said hello, her voice a little hoarse. Looking at the petite and weak girl in front of her, there was no hostility in her eyes. As I said before, she wasn't angry that Fang Wen and Linda lived here, what she cared about was Albert's attitude.
"Hello, Miss Joanna. Fang Wen smiled stiffly, then looked at Albert, "Of course, you certainly didn't see me when you were whispering. ”
"What did you hear?" asked Joanna subconsciously.
"Are you blaming me for eavesdropping on your conversation? My future boss lady, you don't want to withhold my salary, do you?" Fang Wen had a smile on her face, but her words were very harsh, "Remind you two, that under the banyan tree is not a good place to whisper." Without waiting for Joanna to explain, she continued, "Thank you for taking me in, I'll pack up and leave now." ”
Edith and Jon Jon in the living room looked at each other, not knowing what was going on between the adults, they had never seen Fontaine angry.
"Fang Wen, listen to me. At this moment, Joanna said with a bitter face.
Albert also frowned and explained: "That's right, things are not as you think, me and Joe ......"
"I'm sorry, I don't want to hear it. Fang Wen agreed to Albert's words, "Also, Miss Joanna, don't call me Fang Wen, we don't want to be that good." She said gloomily, subconsciously glancing at Albert, and then, ignoring Joanna's explanation, walked briskly up to the second floor.
Joanna looked at Fang Wen's back with complicated eyes, full of guilt.
If Fang Wen left here because of her, then she would definitely not forgive herself. But at the same time, Joanna had another voice in her heart, which seemed to be saying to let Fang Wen leave.
The woman's instincts tell her that Fang Wen is in love with Albert.
After the silence, Joanna made a decision, "Let Fang Wen stay, where can a weak girl go?" she trusted her own judgment and trusted Albert even more. (To be continued.) )
