Chapter 1571"Yes! They bear a striking resemblance to each other, especially in their mouth and nose. It's almost as if they were sculpted from the same mold, leaving no doubt that they are father and daughter."The next morning.Joanne slowly opened her eyes. The faint morning light poured into the bedroom through the light-colored curtains. She was stunned for a long time before realizing that she was lying in Edwin's arms. Edwin was still in a sound sleep, without any trace of brutality and wickedness. His handsome face had even gained a touch of tenderness, and the firm lines of his face had been softened by the light.She hadn't gotten used to sleeping next to someone yet. As she tried to quietly climb out of bed with one hand on the mattress, Edwin's arm suddenly fell towards her slender waist.In a daze, Joanne was pushed back onto the bed. His slightly warm lips pressed onto hers and he whispered in an unclear voice, "Good morning, Mrs. Atherton."Joanne let out a low
Chapter 1572Joanne took a casual outfit and stood in front of the mirror to change clothes.Upon entering the bathroom, Edwin realized that he had forgotten to bring his underwear. He went to the dressing room and happened to see Joanne putting on a comfortable sports bra. She usually wore this type of clothing at home, and as she bent over, her charming figure was revealed.An impulse surged within Edwin, and he couldn't help but say in a hoarse voice, "I prefer it when you wear the black one.""Ah!" Joanne thought Edwin had gone to take a shower and never expected him to suddenly appear behind her. She was startled and quickly put on the bra. Through the dressing mirror, she saw the teasing glint in Edwin's eyes. Blushing, she turned her head and gave him a resentful glare."When did you become a peeping tom?""Since you didn't close the door, I thought you need some fashion advice from me," Edwin replied.How shameless he was!Overwhelmed with infuriation, Joanne wanted to
Chapter 1573Jadyn tidied up very quickly, and in just a few minutes, the kitchen looked brand new.Seeing the dishes and menus that the chefs had prepared, Joanne thought about the modest breakfast she was about to make and felt a little ashamed. But since she had already agreed to cook it, she would brace herself and go ahead with it anyway.After all, it was all just for Tail.When Edwin found out that Joanne was going to "specially" make breakfast for him, he was overjoyed."Master Edwin, Miss Tail is awake..." At this time, a maid knocked on the study's door in a hurry.Seeing the maid's anxious expression, Edwin no longer cared about the documents anymore and quickly ran to Tail's bedroom.Tail had just opened her eyes and found herself in a completely unfamiliar environment. There was a rail at the edge of the bed, which made it difficult for her to climb down despite her efforts. She pouted and kept calling out "Mama".The maid responsible for taking care of Tail tried
Chapter 1574Tail was determined to stay away from Edwin. Seeing Edwin's dark complexion, she felt a little scared, but her stubbornness kicked in. She quickly retreated to the bedside and grabbed onto the railing, shouting at the door, "Mama, help! That bad guy is hitting me! Mama, why did you leave me here all alone? Do you not want me anymore?"Tears streamed down her face as she imagined countless scenarios.All the servants, including Jadyn, burst into laughter.Tail was a bit mischievous, but she was really adorable.For the first time, Edwin deeply understood the difficulties of taking care of children. Seeing Tail's red and swollen eyes, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.He reached out to wipe away her tears, but fearing that she would resist him, he hesitated and withdrew his hand, softly coaxing her, "Good baby, stop crying. Joanne is really making breakfast in the kitchen. She doesn't want to abandon you. If you cry like this, she will think I'm mistreating you ag
Chapter 1575"Are you blaming me for causing you to misunderstand?" she retorted.Edwin's inner response was an affirmative one.However, at this very moment, he had no alternative but to comfort her. He said ingratiatingly, "Darling, you are the most significant person to me, and it is absolutely unjust to blame you. The one deserving of blame is none other than myself."Edwin's soft attitude was an uncommon sight for Joanne. Biting her lower lip, she asked curiously, "Blame you for what?"Edwin immediately realized that he must answer this question properly. After a thoughtful pause, he let out a gentle sigh."Blame me for not being perceptive enough four years ago, blame me for my irascible temperament four years later, blame me for my obstinacy, and blame me for failing our daughter and betraying your genuine intentions."Joanne's expression soured upon hearing the mention of "four years ago". However, when she caught sight of Edwin's sincere gaze, her anger swiftly transfor
Chapter 1576The maid opened the door. Outside was the person in charge of the kids’ clothing branch of the Atherton Group.He was holding a big box with a warm smile, followed by some other employees who also carried boxes.The person said, "These are the toys and clothes Mr. Atherton prepared for Miss Tail..."Hearing about the toys and clothes, Tail pressed her pink lips. She thought of something and reluctantly stretched out her hands toward Edwin.Excited and overjoyed, Edwin took the cute girl into his arms.Although he had held Puffy many times, Puffy was not his daughter. It was wonderful to hold his own daughter!He noticed that Tail was glued to the toys and clothes outside the door, so he took her there at once.A whole box of toys and countless sparkling princess dresses instantly attracted Tail's attention.While preparing breakfast, Joanne heard Edwin please Tail time from time. ‘Well, Edwin seems to get along well with Tail,’ she thought with a smile.Having ma
Chapter 1577Noah's fans were loyal. They gossiped about Noah's background and found out that she and Edwin had studied abroad together. On the international student forum, they could see intimate photos of the two feeding each other ice cream.Besides, Edwin was the boss of Eclipse Worldwide Entertainment. And Noah was the top agent of Eclipse Worldwide Entertainment...Fans were excitedly saying that Edwin announced on Twitter that he had nothing to do with Sharon to pave the way for Noah.Noah was stunned, dropped her head slightly, and said shyly, "You guys are really well-informed..."At these words, the host also got excited."Ms. Sinclair, so what they said about you and Mr. Atherton is true? Are you guys getting married soon?""Jadyn, turn off the TV!" Edwin was keenly aware that Joanne's hand was trembling slightly as she held the fork. He commanded with a sullen face.Jadyn agreed and was about to turn off the TV, but Joanne stopped her. "Jadyn, don't bother. I want t
Chapter 1578Noah frowned when she saw that it was an unfamiliar number. She picked up the phone and realized it was Harry. Harry's voice was low like he was hiding from someone... "Was it you?" Harry questioned straightforwardly. Noah bit the tip of her tongue. The pain made her voice sound innocent. "What, Mr. Atherton? What are you talking about?" "Don't play dumb with me. Besides me, you and Sharon are the only ones who have been targeting Joanne. Sharon is a stupid woman. She couldn't come up with such a ploy, so it must be you." Harry analyzed. He growled in anger, "Noah, how dare you try to kill my granddaughter and frame me!" Noah had been in showbiz for years. She could remain calm no matter what the situation was. Even though Harry was so explicit, she didn't panic but said in a pitiful voice, "Your granddaughter? I don't understand! What ploy? Forgive me. I've been too busy lately. It's the company's mid-year extravaganza soon. I am really..." Harry c
