Chapter 1725Meanwhile, Edwin got off his private jet and arrived at a private island. He took out his cell phone and saw Joanne's message. He felt humiliated when he learned that on Joanne's birthday, the other guys sent her gifts before him. Edwin was not angry with Joanne. He regretted that he wasn't the first guy to give her a present, so he spent the whole morning preparing a romantic and grand birthday party for Joanne. Finally, everything was almost ready. He took a break and was content with his work. Just then, he saw Joanne's message and immediately, his eyes burned with anger. 'Who transferred the money to Joanne and it was such a number?'... Not receiving a reply from Edwin, Joanne felt it was weird. If Edwin had transferred the money to her, surely, he would have replied to her. 'Did I make a mistake again?' Joanne then remembered that she could use the bank app to check who transferred the money to her. She clicked on the app. Just as she was abou
Chapter 1726When Joanne chatted with Edwin in the past, Edwin always had a lot of things to talk about with her.Edwin resignedly replied with more words!Edwin: [I’m not available now.]Joanne felt annoyed and bit her lower lip. She was sure that he was angry with her.He even gave her the silent treatment!She apologized to him and pleased him, but he didn’t buy it at all!She had been curious about what Edwin was doing but hadn’t asked him yet. Finally, she typed to ask him anxiously.Joanne: [Didn’t you come to the studio backlot to see me? It seems that you’re even busier than me. What are you busy with?]Distrust and suspicion were the enemies of couples.‘We have just remarried, but he gives me the silent treatment for such a trivial matter.’After a few seconds, Edwin replied to her but still didn’t answer her question explicitly.Edwin: [Don’t think too much. As soon as I’m available, I will be right back to accompany you.]Joanne put her hands on the keyboard an
Chapter 1727Shelby came up to Joanne, handed a delicately packed box to Joanne, and said with a smile, “Thank you for helping me last time. Happy birthday.”Hearing Shelby’s sincere wish, Joanne smiled at Shelby and felt surprised.‘Why does Shelby know when my birthday is? She even has prepared the gift for me.’Shelby saw through Joanne’s thoughts and said, “In showbiz, there are no secrets.”‘Shelby is right. I even posted it online.’Joanne opened the box. A beautiful bangle was inside. It was shining under the sunset glow. Joanne was stunned by it and thanked Shelby sincerely, “I like it very much.”“Joanna, I also have prepared a gift for you.” A male worker of the shooting team walked towards Joanne and handed her a gift.Joanne looked at him appreciatively. “Thank you.”As soon as Joanne finished speaking, more people gave gifts to her. Finally, she was even unable to hold the gifts. Sabrina and Sonia helped her. Joanne didn’t expect so many people to prepare gifts fo
Chapter 1728After Tail swallowed the fruit wine down, she tasted a delicate fragrance. Her eyes lit up. She fixed her eyes on Sonia. “It’s yummy. I would like to drink more.”Sonia was in a dilemma and frowned. She seized the chance and bargained with Tail, “Then you can’t speak ill of me in front of Mr. Atherton anymore.”“I didn’t speak ill of you in front of dad.” Tail blinked innocently.Tail looked adorable with watery eyes.Sonia clearly felt that her heart beat faster.‘No! I can’t look at Tail anymore. She’s so adorable!’Sonia pinched her thigh and almost burst into tears. “Indeed, you didn’t speak ill of me in front of your dad, but you didn’t put in a good word for me either. A few days ago, you said that Mr. Atherton’s face was wrinkly and that he was not worthy of Ms. Winters. Of course, Mr. Atherton was angry with me.”Tail pouted and said seriously, “I see. I will put in a good word for you in front of dad next time.”“You’re so smart.”When no one paid attent
Chapter 1729Thinking that Edwin was impotent, they couldn’t help but glance at him. Although his casual pants were loose, his long straight strong legs were eye-catching. When he walked over, they clearly felt his intimidating temperament.After Sharon spread the rumor, it was the first time that Edwin showed up in public. When he noticed they had the guts to peep at his private part, he smiled frightfully and evilly, “Your gazes are inquiring. What do you want to know?”All the people shut up and held their breaths simultaneously. Some cowardly people even lowered their heads.Instantly, it became silent in the private room.Joanne looked at Edwin in surprise and felt annoyed.‘After the two-day silent treatment, he shows up finally.’Eli was very observant. He glanced at Joanne and Edwin. Then he gave his seat that was next to Joanne to Edwin.Edwin sat beside Joanne calmly as if it was just a coincidence. When he saw Joanne’s red face, he frowned slightly.The bottle of th
Chapter 1730The stool beside Edwin's feet suddenly fell down with a thud.Hearing the sound, all the crew members became frightened. They observed Edwin's expression, trying to tell his current emotions. But his face gave nothing away.The crew members began to feel guilty one after another and planned an excuse for leaving. "Mr. Atherton, Director Freddie, sorry, I have to leave because there is still some work to do..." A crew member walked away.As he took the lead, more and more crew members went away with an excuse. "I haven't designed the clothes that Mr. Raymond is going to wear tomorrow...""My stomach hurts. I'll go to the bathroom! Bye."After a while, almost all the crew members left, except Shelby and the man who had spoken for Joanne. Just when they were about to ease the atmosphere, Joanne turned on the karaoke machine in the room and pulled the executive director to stand in front of the screen. She uttered, "Isn't today my birthday? Why is it so quiet? I wa
Chapter 1731Edwin was intensely surprised. 'What did she just say?'She said she loves me!'She married me because of love!'People always tell their innermost thoughts when they are drunk. So, she does love me!'As Edwin was overcome by great surprise and joy, his expression was fixed on his face. He stared at Joanne without even blinking."Joanne, happy birthday," he uttered.Director Freddie and the others could only see Edwin and Joanna embrace closely and whisper, none of whom could hear the talk between them. Shelby and the others were gazing at the two of them in shock. 'Joanna is rude to Mr. Atherton, but he doesn't push her away! Does Mr. Atherton like her in the first place?' Shelby thought.At this moment, the cake ordered by Jaden arrived. The huge fruit cake was originally made for twenty people.However, most of the staff had left.The remaining people urged Joanna to make a wish and then blow out the candles.As the window was opened, the cool wind blew o
Chapter 1732Edwin carried Joanne up in arms and then glanced at the waiter. "Open the door!"The doorknob was turned. Hearing the sound, Sonia attempted to hide herself and Tail at once, but she failed. The smile froze on her face the moment she saw Edwin and Joanne over her shoulder. "Hi... Mr. Atherton, Mrs. Atherton. Good evening," Sonia said.As Sonia was guilty and stuck for words, Tail turned over, encircled Sonia's neck, and gave her a smack on the cheeks suddenly.Tail muttered, "Sonia, let's continue drinking. The fruit wine is so delicious. I love it very much..."Why are there stars in the sky?"Er... Are they Daddy and Mama? "Mama is lying in Daddy's arms, and I'll lie down, too! I'll be a good girl and sleep..."Then Tail began humming a song that only she could understand. She tilted her head, with her eyes misty."Sonia, what have you done?" Edwin yelled with fury, looking like a demon. At his yell, Sonia shook violently, as if encountering an apocalypse.
