Joanne looked at Brian and froze on the spot. Her face was full of undisguised surprise.

Seeing Joanne not moving, Brian walked toward her and did not stop until he was nearly touching her.

There was almost no distance between them. Joanne could feel Brian's body heat through his shirt.

Joanne felt as if she was being scalded. Her heart jolted, and she met Brian's searing gaze when she looked up.

She gasped as she sensed danger and subconsciously wanted to move back. But behind her was the door. If she took another step back, she would be out of the room.

If the elder saw her and Brian behaving in this manner, it would not be Iris who wanted to leave...

Who said God will not seal off all the exits?

He would!

Brian grabbed Joanne's hand and shut the door behind her.

The study became a private space filled with an intimate atmosphere.

Joanne closed her eyes and sighed in her heart.

However, their sexual experience that took place last time in the study was not bad.

If Brian wanted her to experience it again...well, she could accept it.

Joanne lost herself in her reverie. When she suddenly brought her thoughts back to focus, she heard a thump over her head and felt a slight but very sharp pain on her forehead.

She hissed and opened her eyes and found Brian looking at her leisurely.

Didn't he want to... Then why did he hit her?

Joanne was about to fly into a rage, when Brian asked her, "Joanne, what were you thinking about?"

The scene of their "last time" in the study emerged in Joanne's mind. She suddenly felt guilty and vented her anger. She did not dare to answer Brian directly and could only refute him, "No matter what I was thinking, what you were thinking must be worse than my thoughts!"

Hmph, Brian did not know what she was thinking about.

But she knew clearly what was on Brian's mind!

Brian raised his eyebrows and pointed at the pile of documents on the table, saying, "I just want you to help me deal with them. Is that considered a bad idea?"

Joanne felt a lump in her throat. She coughed and looked at Brian suspiciously, asking, "Do you really need my help?"

If that was the case, then what she was thinking about just now was too shameful.

Brian took another step forward and came closer to Joanne. "Yep. What else do you think I need?" he said in a polished and seductive voice.

Joanne subconsciously put her hands against Brian's chest to hold him back, setting up a line of defense between herself and Brian.

Brian's charm was too magnetic. If he got any closer, she would definitely lose her mind.

She must stay calm to deal with Brian!

Thinking of this, Joanne gazed at Brian with an innocent look to make him forget about those evil thoughts. "I think we can start to go through those documents, how about it?" she said.

Brian did not think so. He wanted to tease Joanne more.

However, today's work was urgent, and he had no time to joke with Joanne anymore.

Brian could only give up. He kissed Joanne on her forehead and responded, "I agree with you."

Joanne breathed a long sigh of relief. She trotted to the desk and began to go through the documents.

Looking at Joanne, Brian thought that she reminded him of a small frightened animal and he subconsciously smiled. He sat down beside Joanne and flipped open a document.

With Joanne's help, Brian finished all the work before 10 o'clock, which was much faster than before.

At dinner time, the two little guys woke up for a while but were soon coaxed to sleep by Iris and Martha. They didn't wake up anymore even when Brian and Joanne finished their work.

This reduced Brian and Joanne's burden considerably, enabling them to go back to their room at an early time.

During this period, both of them were busy. They hadn't gone to bed before eleven o'clock for a long time.

However, Joanne was not used to such a relaxed life. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Brian put down his book. When Joanne turned over again, he pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.

Having been together with Brian for a long time, Joanne was no longer surprised by his sudden intimacy. Instead, she was used to it.

Joanne leaned into Brian's arms and said after a thought, "Honey, let's watch a movie."

Watching movies was one of Joanne's limited hobbies. Before the two little guys were born, Brian often made an exception and watched movies with her in the theater or review old movies in the home theater.

However, since the birth of Aiden and Romy, Brian no longer had time to accompany Joanne to watch a movie.

Joanne knew Brian was busy, so she did not ask him to.

Therefore, Brian would not refuse her sudden suggestion today. He touched her head and said, "Get up, I'll go with you."

Although Brian agreed, what he wanted most was not to watch a movie with Joanne.

Joanne knew that Brian would not refuse. She pulled him up directly, put on her slippers and ran to the home theater.

Though Brian had no time to watch movies, he had the home theater built when he set up the house.

The reason was simple-Joanne liked watching movies.

Joanne had once asked Brian about this home theater, "Did you think of marrying me when you decorated the villa?"

"No," Brian denied it directly, which made Joanne speechless.

But after a while, Brian continued, "Joanne, when I decorated this house, I always thought that this would be our home."

It was beyond Joanne's expectation. She looked at Brian in surprise and couldn't utter a word.

She was so touched.

After knowing the truth, every time Joanne stepped into the home theater, she would remember what Brian told her and her heart was warmed.

Love existed in this world without any shape. It was difficult to put it down on paper.

However, it could be seen from the minute details and these were the things that warmed our lives.

The home theater was carpeted. Joanne took off her slippers at the door and ran in. She sank into the sofa, turned on the equipment, and began to select the movie.

However, there was no particular movie that aroused her interest.

She looked at Brian and said, "Which one should I watch? I can't decide."

Brian took the remote control after a quick thought and said naturally, "Let me help."

Joanne nodded, thinking that Brian really wanted to help her. "Sure, I'll leave it to you!" she said.

Brian soon selected a classic love movie that was released seven or eight years ago.

Joanne was surprised and curious. She poked Brian's chest and asked, "You like this movie?"

She thought that Brian would choose an action-packed movie instead of a romantic one.

Brian held Joanne in his arms and rested his chin on her head. He said in a casual tone, "As long as you like it."

Joanne did like this movie. She would rewatch it from time to time since the first time she watched it.

She did not expect Brian knew that she liked it.

Joanne smiled and rubbed herself against Brian's chest, saying "So you'll just watch it with me?"

Brian replied with a "yes" and stroked Joanne's hair from time to time. His every movement was inadvertently affectionate.

It turned out that sometimes, Joanne still did not know him very well.

He brought Joanne to the theater and chose a love movie at such a late hour. How could his purpose be pure?

Joanne did not realize that Brian had other plans. Her mind was occupied by the moving plots and she leaned closer against Brian.

Brian was a very patient hunter. He held Joanne quietly and soon won Joanne's trust. Joanne cuddled up against him and was immersed in the movie.

Thirty minutes later, the hero and the heroine in the movie began to kiss.

The director was an esthetician who made this kiss beautiful and romantic by using soft lights and a fresh background.

Some commented that this kiss could be listed as one of the top ten beautiful kisses.

Joanne also loved this classic scene. In the past, she would be obsessed with it, but this time, she couldn't help but shiver-

If she remembered correctly, the scene that followed would be even more intense.

"Oh, where's the remote control?"

Subconsciously, Joanne wanted to break loose from Brian's embrace to find the remote control.

But she didn't know that Brian had already anticipated her action.

He increased his strength to restrain her and stopped her from moving. "What's wrong?" he asked.

Joanne took a deep breath and tried to say in a calm tone, "I want to forward it. Can I?"

"Why? It's a good movie?" Brian held her more tightly. "Let it play."

In the past, Brian had never refused Joanne when she wanted to bypass boring and long plots.

Joanne finally realized something and looked at Brian indignantly as she shouted, "You did that on purpose!"

At this time, the characters finished their French kiss.

In the next scene, they fell on a soft big bed. The director shot this scene from a most beautiful angle, making their every movement beautiful and gentle. Together with the touching music, this plot would arouse people's lust for love.

But Joanne didn't dare to see such a beautiful scene. She only wanted to cover her face.

Brian put his arm around Joanne's waist and whispered in her ear, "Joanne, what are you doing?"

Joanne looked at Brian with a tear-stained face and said, "I want to run."

Brian turned over to press Joanne under him and looked at her with a faint smile. "How? You're unable to run away."
