"How? You're unable to run away."

Brian's voice was still as seductive as ever.

But what was different now was that his voice now sounded fascinating, evil and... confident at the same time.

Joanne suddenly realized that she had actually been his prey, while Brian, an excellent hunter, had already set his trap even before they entered the room.

"To watch a movie with me and help me choose the movie? It's just a trick!"

Now, she had already been caught by the hunter and had no means of escape.

Having been married for two years, she had learned to accept it since she was trapped.

Joanne closed her eyes and had a desperate look about her. "Then I won't run anymore!"

Brian smiled with satisfaction and kissed Joanne on her forehead. "Good girl."

Joanne could not help clenching her teeth.

She really did not want to expose Brian's guile. Although she was indeed a good girl, it was shameless of him to say such a sentence!

Brian's lips did not stay on Joanne's forehead for long.

Joanne opened her eyes and happened to look into Brian's eyes.

Joanne always felt that the Creator was unfair. Brian had a flawless face and a pair of intense and charming eyes.

Sometimes, Brian's eyes were like the mysterious and vast night sky, bright, unpredictable and irresistibly attractive.

Joanne stared at him as if she had been bewitched. Her heart rate accelerated, and the unwillingness and resistance which dwelt at the bottom of her eyes faded away and was replaced by a layer of mist.

She had to admit that some people could easily beguile a person, merely with their eyes and Brian was one of them.

While she thought about it, Joanne was almost crazed with desire for him.

The smile on Brian's lips grew wider. He stroked Joanne's face, lowered his head, and slowly kissed her lips. He said in his attractive voice, "Joanne, be a good girl and kiss me."

When Joanne came to her senses, Brian's hands were already all over her body.

Joanne felt that Brian's hands had a magical effect on her.

Otherwise, why did she feel as if all her strength seemed to drain away as soon as he touched her? Why was her soul trembling?

In addition, Joanne's last bit of reasoning also disappeared in the midst of her trembling. She wrapped her arms around Brian's neck and began to kiss him.

Joanne was so obedient, which gave Brian a little sense of accomplishment.

However, this was far from enough.

Brian deliberately whispered in Joanne's ear, "Joanne, the sound insulation of the home theater is not as good as we thought."

He was explicitly telling Joanne that their voices might carry outside the home theater.

If it were in the past, Joanne would not have too much of a reaction to his words. Anyway, there were only Martha and the two babies on the second floor apart from her and Brian.

In order to take care of the two babies, Martha usually would not leave the children's room.

Therefore, she and Brian were the only ones on the second floor, and she did not have to worry about the sound insulation.

However, things were different in recent days. Mom was at home!

Although Mom had gone through it all, there were still some things that should not be made public!

The more Joanne thought about it, the more anxious she became. "Um!" She uttered a sound anxiously in protest.

Brian covered her mouth gently and motioned for her to lower her voice. "If someone happened to pass by, the sound of your voice might cause a misunderstanding."

Joanne really wanted to bite Brian.

"Are you worried about any misunderstanding? We are indeed doing it!"

Brian acted as if he suddenly realized it. He smiled and said, "Well, we don't have to worry if they will have a misunderstanding about what we are doing now."

They were indeed doing something ambiguous now.

In the end, Joanne could not help scratching Brian's chest like a furious kitten.

Brian grabbed the kitten's hands and kissed her lips again.

Next, Joanne did not have a chance to protest. Brian moved so quickly and smoothly that she experienced simultaneous bursts of pleasure, but she always remembered Brian's warning just now. She bit her lip tightly, and even at the moments of greatest pleasure, she did not dare to utter any loud sounds.

Brian must have felt her caution, and she thought he would move gently.

It turned out that Joanne was still too naive.

Brian gazed at her restrained expression, which was completely different from the usual. His body heat rose instead of dropping, and he felt as if he had endless physical strength. He could not wait to swallow Joanne's sweetness. Therefore, he had no intention of moving gently at all.

After an unknown period of time, Joanne suddenly realized that Brian did it on purpose.

Joanne swore that if some people complained to her, in the future, that Brian was too scheming, she would never stand on his side.

Of course, she was not dissatisfied with her husband.

She only felt that since the others were telling the truth, then there was no point in putting up a fight!

Finally, in the dead of the night, Brian was finally sated. He carried Joanne, who by now, was as limp as a noodle, back to the room and went straight into the bathroom.

Joanne was tired out and fell asleep in the bathroom. Brian had to help her take a shower and carried her back to the room.

Even though she had fallen asleep, Joanne still relied on Brian subconsciously. As soon as she touched the bed, she obediently got into Brian's arms and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Brian would never let Joanne know that her subconscious reliance on him pleased him greatly.

He pulled Joanne into his arms, kissed her forehead, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

The night passed quickly, and soon it was another day.

Brian got up early and had a video conference with the executives from the overseas branch. It was already past nine o'clock when he finished the conference call. He walked out of the study and saw Joanne yawning and coming out of their room. Her face was a little pale, and she looked rather listless.

Brian went over and gave Joanne a hug.

Joanne did not get too much sleep, so she leaned into Brian's arms and rubbed her face against his chest like a child. She asked in a hoarse voice, "Are the babies awake?"

If it weren't for the two babies, she would definitely not get up until noon like before.

Brian stroked Joanne's back. "I was in a meeting just now. I didn't go to the children's room. Shall we go and have a look now?"

"..." Joanne closed her eyes and did not even have the strength to answer Brian.

Brian then said, "Or, how about you go back to the room and sleep a little longer?"

In the past, Joanne would not refuse.

But now, nothing was more important than the two babies.

Joanne seemed to wake up instantly. She looked up at Brian and said, "No, I'm not sleepy now. Let's go to the children's room."

Brian touched Joanne's head and took her hand. When they were about to walk to the children's room, they saw Iris holding a pot of hot water and standing at the stairs with a smile on her face.

Joanne did not know what Iris had overheard and she could not be sure whether her conversation with Brian just now had revealed anything.

Joanne instantly became embarrassed when she saw Iris. She was about to blush when she realized in time that Iris actually knew nothing, and her blushes may instead expose all her secrets.

Thinking of this, Joanne's expression quickly became serious and she smiled and said, "Mom, good morning."

"Good morning," Iris said with a smile as if nothing had happened, "Aiden and Romy have just woken up. Aiden is still crying. You can go in and see them."

"Okay!" Joanne took the pot from Iris and slipped into the room in the blink of an eye.

Iris and Brian walked behind her.

After taking a few steps, Iris suddenly said, "Mothers typically worry about their children. You don't have to worry. I will take good care of Aiden and Romy at noon so that Joanne can have a good sleep."

After that, before Brian could reply, Iris had given him a reassuring look.

Iris had brought Brian up by herself. She understood very well that Brian must be worried about Joanne's lack of sleep.

It turned out that Iris was right. When he heard what she said, Brian was very relieved.

Brian was about to say something, but Iris stopped him. "You're welcome."

After that, she gave Brian a look to show that she understood him.

Brian smiled and entered the children's room with Iris.

The two babies had already woken up. Romy was in a good mood and babbled away, while Aiden was cranky and hummed angrily. His humming showed that he was in a bad mood.

Martha and Aunt Wu were trying to pacify them. The children's room was particularly lively.

"That's good." Iris put down the hot water, looked at Brian and said, "When you were young, you were the only child in the family. It was not so lively."

Joanne was preparing milk for the two babies. When she heard that, she turned around and said, "Mom, it's not because there was only one child in your family then."

Iris had already guessed what Joanne was going to say, but she still cooperated and asked, "What's the reason?"

"The reason is actually due to your child!" Joanne said seriously, "Trust me, even if you have ten children like Brian in your house, it will not be lively."

Iris guessed correctly. Joanne just tried to complain that Brian was too placid when he was a child.

She was Brian's biological mother, so she shouldn't have laughed at Brian as what Joanne did, but she couldn't help laughing.

Brian was very calm. He glanced at Joanne and said meaningfully, "When you were young, your family should be very lively, because you're the equivalent of ten of Romy."

Joanne seemed to be choked by something. She was speechless for a moment, and then her expression became serious. "Nonsense. I could be the equivalent of twenty children like Romy."

She could not outspeak Brian, but she could show Brian what it meant to deprecate herself!

She wanted to see how Brian would respond now!
