In the end, Brian did not say anything. He just put his arm around Joanne's shoulder and said, "Maybe it's because he ate the food you cooked."

Joanne tried her best, but she still couldn't help laughing.

She tilted her head and looked at Brian's handsome face. "I thought that my cooking could only please you."

Brian raised his eyebrows and looked at Joanne up and down with some inquiry in his eyes. "Please?" He felt the need to discuss this problem with Joanne.

"Uh-huh." Joanne was not timid. She looked into Brian's eyes and said, "I do use it to please you."

Looking at Joanne's relaxed look, Brian suddenly realized that his requirements for her were too low.

He smiled slightly and looked at her meaningfully. "Do you think I'm easy to be pleased?"

Joanne reacted very quickly.

She knew that if she nodded and said that Brian was easy to be pleased, it would be equivalent to challenging him.

Brian had said more than once that no man could stand his wife's questioning.

However, Joanne had been an honest person for more than 20 years and did not want to lie.

After weighing the pros and cons, she finally chose to compromise. "In fact... it's only easy to please you when you get childish!"

"Childish?"

Brian's attention was diverted, and his face became gloomy and profound. "Joanne, would you say that again?"

"How come I don't know about my childishness?"

It was not the first time that Joanne had been threatened by Brian. She knew better than anyone that he was just bluffing.

She didn't flinch at all. She pretended to be very gratified and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't mind it. After Aiden and Romy were born, you have matured a lot."

The implication was that Brian was no longer as childish as before.

As soon as Joanne finished her words, they returned to the living room.

Brian looked around imperceptibly. Simon and the others were busy, while Martha was taking care of the two little kids upstairs.

The large living room was empty.

That was exactly what he wanted.

Joanne looked at Brian and vaguely had a bad feeling. Before she could react, Brian suddenly picked her up, and she was hanging in the air.

"Ah!"

Joanne subconsciously called out and looked at Brian at a loss.

He acted as if nothing had happened and reminded her lightly, "Joanne, if you shout again, Simon and Martha will come down soon."

In this case, Joanne did not want to attract any attention at all.

She had to lower her voice. She looked at Brian and asked, "What are you doing?"

Brian held Joanne in his arms and walked up the stairs. He said lightly, "Didn't you say that I'm childish? We'll go back to the bedroom and find my mature side."

Joanne felt a little confused.

"Find his mature side?

"Uh, how are we going to do that?"

While Joanne was still struggling, she had been carried back to the bedroom by Brian.

Brian was obviously impatient. As soon as he closed the door, he put Joanne down between the door and his chest.

She looked at him and thought silently that Brian had developed a new skill to flirt with her, which was to corner her to the wall.

Brian's voice was charming, plus he deliberately lowered his voice, which actually revealed a sense of irresistable sexiness. "Joanne, look at me."

Joanne's heart beat wildly as she looked up at Brian helplessly.

For a moment, she felt that her heart had completely lost its rhythm.

She had been married to Brian for two years, and they had kids now. She wondered if it would be shameful if she told others that she still could not resist his charm.

However, it should mainly be up to who she told.

If she told Freya and Wendy, who were Brian's loyal fans, they would probably say that they still could not resist Brian's charm either, and how she was feeling was normal.

"But, is it really normal?"

Brian looked into Joanne's eyes and saw that she was distracted at a glance.

He lost his patience, lowered his head, and bit Joanne's lip.

Joanne was caught off guard. The sharp pain immediately got to her nerves. She opened her mouth subconsciously, and Brian took the opportunity to reach her tongue through her teeth, start sucking it, and taste her wantonly.

"Oh, Brian..."

Joanne made a vague sound. It was unknown if she was protesting or obeying.

Brian thought that Joanne was protesting, but unfortunately, he had no intention of letting her go.

His hands gradually went down, wrapped around Joanne's waist, held her in his arms, and shortened the distance between them.

Joanne had long been used to Brian's forceful hug. She did not expect that he would go so gentle on her this time.

In the past, when they did it, Brian preferred to pull her into his arms and imprison her overbearingly. The smell of his body drilled into her nose and completely disturbed her mind.

Today, Brian must be considerate of her feelings because he knew that she was not feeling well.

Joanne suddenly felt that there was nothing to protest about.

She relaxed, held Brian's waist with both hands, and slowly hugged him. She snuggled up in his arms and kissed him back.

Brian's kiss was so fierce that Joanne could not keep up with him, so she unconsciously hugged him tighter.

Brian noticed Joanne's eagerness. He smiled and gradually slowed it down. Every kiss was deep and gentle as if he was going to use it to soothe Joanne.

In a trance, Joanne felt that she seemed to be surrounded by something.

It was something soft and warm.

It should be Brian's love.

Love had no shape and could not be touched.

However, when it existed because of her, she could feel it with her heart.

Joanne closed her eyes and clearly felt that there was no distance between her and Brian at this moment.

The kiss lasted for a long time before Brian slowly let go of Joanne and looked at her softly.

Joanne opened her eyes and looked into his eyes. She felt as if she had a crush.

His eyes had always been extremely deep. When he looked at her, they became even deeper and more charming.

If she kept staring at him, Joanne felt that she might be bewitched by his eyes.

Realizing this, she hurriedly looked away, only to find that she had nowhere to run.

"Joanne, why are you panicking?" Brian looked at Joanne calmly and ordered in an unquestionable tone, "Don't talk to Rolando in the future."

"Rolando?" Joanne looked at Brian and asked, "Are you... jealous?"

Brian did not admit it. He snorted and said, "Don't ask. Just keep what I said in mind."

"Okay." Joanne deliberately stretched her voice and looked at Brian with a smile. "You're just jealous!"

Brian narrowed his eyes and lowered his head to bite Joanne's red lip. "Can't I be jealous?"

"Ah!" Joanne let out a low cry. She covered her mouth and looked at Brian with a wry smile. "Rolando is not interested in me. Didn't you hear him? He was even asking me if I had a younger sister."

Brian was silent for two seconds. "We can introduce Wendy to Rolando."

"What?" Joanne looked at Brian incredulously. "Are you setting Gavin up? He's still ill!"

Brian wrapped his arms around Joanne's waist and said slowly, "Once Gavin finds out that Rolando is hitting on Wendy, he will deal with Rolando without me doing anything."

Joanne was speechless.

Only then did she realize that Brian wanted to use Gavin to deal with Rolando.

There was no one else as scheming as him.

It was probably the most unwise decision in his life for Rolando to make friends with Brian.

Joanne was about to say something, but she thought of another thing and grabbed Brian's hand. "There is one more thing. Shouldn't you tell me the answer?"

Brian knew what Joanne was referring to. He took her hand and walked into the bedroom, let her sit on the sofa, and told her about Wesley's final decision.

After listening, Joanne nodded. "I didn't expect Rolando to be so rational."

Brian raised his eyebrows. "Are you praising him?"

Joanne was stunned and immediately realized that he was going to be jealous again. She hurriedly shook her head and said, "I'm just telling the truth!"

Brian still told Joanne the truth. "In fact, even without Rolando saying it, Wesley knows that this is the most rational decision. He doesn't want to give up the opportunity to save Yuna easily, so he said nothing. Rolando also knows that Wesley doesn't really need him to give advice. He just plays a role in making things clear."

Joanne didn't say anything.

She was confused.

Brian rarely spoke so much at one time. Maybe it was because she was used to his quietness that she couldn't react to what he was saying for a while.

Brian looked at Joanne helplessly. "Forget it. You don't need to understand."

"Fine." Joanne did not ask further and changed the topic. "Will you be busy in the afternoon?"

Today was the weekend, and no one needed to work.

However, Brian usually did not rest, and he would arrange some work for himself more or less.

"I have a few documents and two video conferences to deal with." Brian asked, "Why did you ask? What's on your mind?"

"It's nothing." Joanne shook her head with a smile. "Go ahead with your work. I want to take a nap."

Joanne often got drowsy, and she usually took a daily nap.

However, since she gave birth to her two little kids, her nap time had been sacrificed.

She suddenly said that she wanted to take a nap. Brian couldn't help but think of something and grabbed her hand. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No. I'm just a little tired." Joanne kept smiling and shook her head. "I'll be fine after a rest."

Brian went downstairs to make a bowl of brown sugar soup and put it in a thermos cup for Joanne. "Remember to have this."

Joanne took it and nudged Brian. "Well, go ahead with your work now."

It was almost time for Brian's meeting. He kissed Joanne on the forehead and said, "Have a good rest."

Joanne replied with an "okay" and sat on the bed. She didn't lie down until she saw Brian go out. She curled up in the quilt and endured the pain of the blade twisting in her flesh.

Compared with before, she was much better. She no longer felt pain from the beginning to the end, but she occasionally felt menstrual pain.

However, even if it was only a burst of pain, it was still very difficult for her to endure.

Joanne covered her belly, closed her eyes, and started hypnotizing herself.

"As long as I fall asleep, I will not feel any pain.

"I can't make any more trouble for Brian at this time. He and Wesley have to deal with Yuna's matter..."
