Chapter 1607Ever since Joanne was taken away by Edwin, Jack's life seemed to have lost some kind of meaning.Jack's friends were dismayed at the change in him, who used to be a playboy. They brought him here to have fun. Coincidentally, they ran into Joanne."I wondered who was so fond of other people's wives, and it's you again, Mr. Brown," Edwin sneered, feeling pleased.Jack felt he was unlucky. He sobered up, ignored Edwin, and ran up to Joanne. "I wondered who sang so well. Jo, you have to believe me. My friends dragged me here tonight."Joanne said bluntly, "You don't have to explain your private life to me."She could understand men's nature.And she had clearly rejected him, so she was in no position to judge his life.But Joanne was quite surprised..."Have you got better?" she asked."Jo, are you concerned about me? I'm fine already." Jack puffed out his chest and said solemnly, "I'm explaining to you because I want to tell you that I'm no longer a frivolous man. I
Chapter 1608Nowadays, there were APPs for such games.There were thousands of choices in the question bank and punishment activities.Jack relinquished the right to choose the question to Joanne, who held her breath and then tapped the pick button for Catelyn.A question popped up.Joanne read it. "Please send a message to the last male friend you contacted on WhatsApp and call him 'Dad'.""That's easy..." Edwin raised an eyebrow.With what he knew about Catelyn and Cedrick, Cedrick was definitely the last male Catelyn had contacted.However...Catelyn opened the WhatsApp chat list, and the last person she contacted was ... Ollie.Oh no, this was awkward.Joanne was the first to laugh."Is this difficult? If so, just pick a male randomly." Jack knew that Joanne and Catelyn were good friends, so he went easy on Joanne.Since there were rules for the game, Catelyn gritted her teeth and said, "No need. Since I'm in the game, I have to abide by the rules. I accept the punishm
Chapter 1609Jack's expectant smile gradually turned into disappointment. He could not even take the opportunity to kiss Joanne. He teased, "You can kiss me on the cheek. Is it OK?""Don't even think about it." Edwin snorted.Catelyn, who was sitting right to Joanne's left, heard this and calmly said to Joanne, "Let's switch places."Joanne was confused.Immediately afterward, under everyone's gaze, Catelyn sat down on Joanne's right side.Then the person Joanne should kiss became ... Edwin!The crowd was shocked.'That's cheating!'The original prank instantly turned into a public display of affection.Everyone looked at Jack in unison...Jack silently shut his mouth.Then, he saw Edwin get up and walk to Joanne."Honey, what kind of kiss do you like? How about a French kiss?"Joanne blushed and bit her lip. It was really a bit embarrassing for her to kiss in public.She took a deep breath and told herself to ignore the people present before she said to Edwin, "Just kis
Chapter 1610Ever since Joanne came back, Edwin's phone had been in "Do Not Disturb" mode.After he turned off the "Do Not Disturb" mode, messages and phone calls flooded in.Joanne and Catelyn were both sleeping heavily, so Edwin sat up from the carpet, rubbed his throbbing temples, and answered the phone.Lucas' anxious voice sounded. "Mr. Atherton, you've become a trending topic again!""Which unscrupulous marketing account created rumors about me?" Edwin's voice was hoarse because he had just woken up.Lucas sounded worried. "Could you remember what you did last night? I think you hate Mr. Brown, right? What were you guys doing when you looked at each other so affectionately? Now, rumor has it that all the women you or Mr. Brown has dated are just shields..."Edwin's temples throbbed, and he immediately checked the latest trending topics. Sure enough, there was one about his and Jack's sexual orientation.Last night when they played the game, Jack was punished to gaze affe
Chapter 1611The first part of the report was all about business. In the end, Charles brought up the topic of Edwin.The Atherton family's business was all over the world.Edwin, as the Atherton family's current head, was the center of the attention of the Atherton Group's employees.Cedrick frowned and instinctively felt amused. "He's the same as before."'Wait a minute.'Last night, Joanne and Catelyn seemed to be with him.'Cedrick scowled, immediately grabbed his phone, and clicked on the widely circulated photo.The floor-to-ceiling window showed two women lying on the bed, but it was hard to tell who they were...Cedrick's lips were pursed as he dialed Catelyn's number, and it took about half a minute for Catelyn to pick up the phone."Where are you now?" Cedrick asked directly.Catelyn's breathing was a little unsteady. She was quiet for a second before she said, "I'm out for my morning walk. It's a nice day.""Really? Did anything special happen last night?" Cedrick
Chapter 1612Catelyn sighed with resignation.She told Cedrick that she was jogging outside, but she had just arrived home from the hotel.She went home secretly when Edwin and Joanne were sleeping soundly.Catelyn went to the restroom, scooped up some cold water with her hands, splashed it to her face, and mussed her hair as if she was covered with sweat after a jog.Then Catelyn answered the video call. The expressionless Cedrick showed up on the screen.Catelyn felt guilty and greeted Cedrick warmly, "Honey, good morning..."Cedrick looked at Catelyn with a sharp gaze. She had a hangover, so her skin looked sallow. Besides, she hadn't put on any makeup and thus looked tired. Cedrick's face clouded over immediately.These years, Cedrick had tried his best to shorten his business trip. He even avoided to go to cities far away or go abroad.To his surprise, on the first night that he left home, she stayed out all night.Cedrick kept silent. Catelyn observed his expression and
Chapter 1613Catelyn was stuck for words.'Why does Cedrick change the topic so quickly?'"I didn't mean that. I'm just reluctant to see you being angry with me and not talking to me. Besides, you're abroad. You're busy with work as you're angry with me. What if you're sick because of that? I have apologized to you sincerely. It's just a trivial matter. Please don't keep picking on me!"Cedrick snorted and didn't tell Catelyn if he had forgiven her or not. He just glanced at her coldly and said, "Your attitude is sincere indeed. Now that you would like to apologize to me, you should keep your promise. I'm reluctant to suddenly hear the news again that my wife wakes up on the bed with other men when I'm abroad on business one day."'Alright, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have been completely drunk. As long as he doesn't cheat on me, I still love him very much.'She covered her mouth, thought about it, and compressed her lips reservedly."I see. Just focus on your work now. Let's
Chapter 1614Edwin suddenly turned over and kissed Joanne to block her mouth.At this moment, only Edwin and Joanne were on the large bed. When Catelyn left the hotel, she specially asked the staff of the hotel not to disturb them and to let them have a good rest. Thus, Edwin and Joanne had the chance to stay with each other alone.The curtains in the room had been drawn. Under the orange lights, the atmosphere was gentle and intimate.Edwin held Joanne's hands with their fingers interlaced. He kissed her as he whispered, "You're right. I want to bind you to me. Like it or not, Tail is my daughter and the apple of my eye. I won't let Tail and you leave me…"Edwin's hot breath sprayed Joanne's ear. Joanne's body tensed up. She closed her eyes involuntarily.Suddenly, the scene where she smooched with Edwin for three minutes in public ran through her mind…Edwin admired Joanne's trembling eyelashes that were thin and bushy...She had a hangover and hadn't sobered up yet. Her chee
