On the day of the reception, which happened to be a Friday, the entire city of A had a warm spring breeze and the sun shone brightly.

Prime Villas.

Since five-thirty, Joanne kept checking the time, and little Romy even started to hum in protest of her inattention.

Seeing this, Martha smiled and teased, "Ma'am, if Mr. Lambert knew that you were so eagerly awaiting at home, he would have asked the driver to send him back quickly!"

"..." Joanne "coughed" and explained with a red face, "We have something to do in the evening... ..."

Iris knew that Brian and Joanne were going out to participate in a reception today, and not being assured of the two little ones, she specially rushed over, and is now sitting beside Joanne.

The old lady is on Martha's side today, and as soon as Joanne's voice trailed off, she then teased, "Joanne, there's no need to explain! You and Brian have only been married for two years, it's not strange to be anxious for him to come home, we won't tell Brian, don't worry!"

"..."

Joanne felt herself choking out a mouthful of old blood, crying and laughing, racking her brain to think of what she should say next.

She had just gotten a clue when Brian's long and straight figure appeared in the corner of her eye.

Well, the savior is back!

Joanne almost reflexively stood up, holding Romy towards Brian, the smile on her face could not be concealed.

Brian looked at Joanne who was getting closer and closer, smiled, waited for her to get closer, smoothly kissed her on the forehead, hugged Romy, and said, "The make-up artists are here, you go upstairs with them to change your clothes."

Joanne nodded and turned to go upstairs.

When Romy reached her father's arms, she didn't cry or make trouble, and looked at her father obediently, like a quiet little elf.

Brian sat on the sofa with the little one in his arms and casually teased her, and the little girl immediately let out a grin, her voice almost melting his heart.

Brian found it amusing and wanted to tease Romy again, but Iris voiced out at this, saying, "Martha, Aiden and Romy should eat, you and Sister Wu carry them back to the children's room."

Linda was a smart person, and immediately understood what Iris meant, saying, "Good." As soon as her tail tone fell, she immediately went upstairs with Sister Wu holding the two little ones.

In the large living room, only Brian and Iris remained.

Brian didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Mom, what's wrong?"

If there was nothing wrong, the old lady wouldn't have specifically sent Martha and Sister Wu away.

"I just wanted to ask about the night-" Iris looked at Brian worriedly, "You guys won't be in any danger, right?"

"Mom, we are well prepared." Brian signaled the old lady to rest assured, "How Joanne and I left, we will come back, don't worry about us."

"..." Iris nodded and smiled helplessly again, "To be honest, what mom is really worried about is not you and Joanne, but Wesley and Yuna... ..."

"About Wesley and Yuna's matter ...," Brian paused, still apologizing, "Mom, I have no way to give you a definite answer now."

Tonight, no matter if it was Brian and Joanne, or Wesley and Yuna, they all needed to see the opportunity.

At the moment, there were less than three hours before the reception began.

However, Brian still couldn't be sure what would happen at the reception.

Everything is full of question marks.

Everything, everything is unknown.

Iris sighs heavily and exhorts, "In short, you must pay attention to your safety and make sure to come back safe and sound. Brian, many years have passed since your father's incident, I believe that the wicked will always have a heavenly reward, you don't have to take your father's case as your own responsibility, don't forget that you are also the father of two children now."

The old lady was politely telling Brian - he was already the father of two children, and nothing was more important than taking care of his own children as they grew up.

As for the hatred of the old years, as for Rowdy, the murderer, the net of heaven is wide open, he can escape for a while, but not for a lifetime.

Brian looked at his aging mother and nodded, "Mom, I know."

"If you know yourself, mom is relieved." Iris patted Brian's hand, "Alright, go about your business, I'll go up and check on Aiden and Romy."

Brian and Iris went upstairs together, Iris went to the children's room and he went back to his room to change.

After changing his clothes, Brian went directly to the dressing room to find Joanne.

Joanne had changed into her dress long ago, a long clean white dress with a black ribbon design at the curves as an embellishment, eliminating the monotony and making it look generous.

The white gown, overall soft and elegant, was simply tailor-made for Joanne.

When Brian came in, the makeup artist had just finished helping Joanne apply her makeup.

Joanne has a good base, her skin is delicate and flawless, a light base makeup and a clean and elegant lipstick can make her whole person radiant.

She has a pair of intoxicating peach blossom eyes, and her own kind of clean and warm temperament rushed | collision, the makeup artist searched for some, simply save the eye makeup step.

The lack of eye makeup, on the contrary, made Joanne's makeup more and more clear and delicate, and she could not see any makeup effect at all.

As a result, her innate cleanliness and beauty emanated to the greatest extent possible, and from afar, like a fairy who fell to earth without realizing it, people simply couldn't bear to let her be tainted by the smoke and dust of this world.

Brian seems to have returned to the time when he just got married-

Every time she saw Joanne, her heart beat frantically, her throat was like burning a fire, and her whole body became dry and dehydrated.

Joanne picked a delicate and elegant small bag and held it in her hand, stood up and looked at Brian, saying with a big smile, "I'm ready!"

Brian walked towards Joanne, his gaze glued to Joanne as if he was glued to her, staring straight at Joanne without avoidance.

Joanne was still not quite used to Brian's direct and fiery gaze, plus she smelled a strong aura of aggression and subconsciously wanted to back away.

However, behind her was a makeup chair, completely blocking her retreat.

Brian hooked his lips and "comforted" Joanne,"Don't worry, at this time, I won't do anything to you."

Joanne gave a dry laugh, finally realized that she really couldn't laugh anymore, and almost cried and asked, "Then when will you ... do it?" Do what to her ah?

If someone asked Joanne, why would she ask such a question?

Joanne didn't know either.

All she could say was that it was probably a brain fart.

Although Joanne didn't finish her sentence, Brian obviously knew what she wanted to ask, and, he was happy to answer such a question.

Brian raised the corners of his lips, good-naturedly approaching Joanne, and said with ulterior motives, "Later, it's still too early."

"..."

"Boom!"

Joanne felt like it wasn't just her brain, but her entire being went blank ...

Brian wanted to tease Joanne a little more, but time was running out.

And, if it continues like this, even if time permits, it is very likely that they ... really won't be able to go to the reception.

Brian clasped Joanne's hand, "Alright, time to go."

"..." Joanne, still in a short-circuit state, subconsciously asked, "Where to?"

Brian inclined his head and looked at Joanne idly, asking without answering, "Where do you want me to take you?"

"..." Joanne finally responded, deeply speechless at herself, swallowing hard and squeezing out, "I remembered, we should go to the reception."

After a pause, Joanne was afraid that her words were not convincing enough and emphasized, "We still have business to attend the reception!"

Brian looked deeply at Joanne and said in a cloudy but meaningful manner, "Joanne, there is more than one serious matter today."

"..."

Joanne didn't move and took a deep breath, constantly hinting to herself - Brian's words didn't mean anything else, absolutely nothing!

So make sure you stay calm and don't think too much!

Joanne squeezed out a raw smile, "Go down."

The two little ones, Aiden and Romy, had their fill of food and drink, and Martha and Iris were already carrying them downstairs, the siblings were obediently held by the two old men, and they looked so loved by the people.

Brian walked over holding Joanne, rubbed the faces of the two little ones, and turned to Iris and said, "Mom, we're leaving."

Iris nodded and urged, "Be sure to pay attention to safety."

Joanne knew that the old lady was worried and walked over to hold her hand, "Mom, don't worry, we'll be back soon."

"Good." Iris smiled, "I'll wait for you at home."

Joanne put on lipstick, it was not convenient to kiss the two little ones, just rubbed their foreheads and went out with Brian.

Iris hugged Aiden, but her eyes stayed focused on Brian and Joanne's backs.

Linda could see the worry in the old lady's eyes and reassured her, "Old lady, don't worry, Mr. Lambert has always been true to his word."

The implication is that Brian will keep his promise to the old lady and come back safe and sound.

Iris smiled and kissed the little Xi met in her arms, "You and your sister be good, we'll wait at home for your dad and mom to come back."

By this time, Brian and Joanne had already walked to the door.

Winston had already driven the car to the door and waited, saw Brian and Joanne come out, got out and opened the door for Joanne.

Joanne sat on the car and turned her head to look at Brian,"What about Wesley, how is he prepared?"

Brian looked at the time, leaving at this time, as long as there were no accidents on the road, they could just make it to the reception on time.

He pulled over the seatbelt to fasten it for Joanne before saying, "Today is equivalent to a rebirth for Wesley, and he's been ready for it for a long time."

Joanne pursed her lips, hesitated, or asked, "What plan have you ... actually made?"

Brian's gaze at Joanne deepened a bit, just when Joanne thought he was going to reveal something to her, he lowered his head and kissed her, "Be good, you'll know soon."

Joanne,"..."
