Joanne blinked and thought she heard something in her imagination.

She loved Brian, and it was the biggest secret of her teenage years. When she was in college, Brian was already a rising star in the business world. He established himself a reputation and shone brightly, so far away from her.

She was hiding her feelings so deeply because of her feelings of inferiority.

She had secretly loved Brian for so long and only dared to say that she kind of liked him.

But Brian said that he loved her?

"Brian," Joanne swallowed and resisted the urge to feel his forehead. "What happened to you?"

Did he know that how much love weighted? How could he love her?

This was simply a fantasy, something impossible!

However, probably Brian did not understand love at all.

"I am fine." Brian said, "I am telling you, I love you."

Joanne rubbed her nose and got further away from him. Just now, Brian said that he would pinch her. Now, he was confessing his love. How did she feel... so incredible?

She shook her head. "I do not believe you."

Brian almost blew up.

He condensed the secret more than ten years old into three words, and sincerely told Joanne, however, she said coldly and faintly "I don't believe you"?

He was extremely angry that he burst into laughter, "Why don't you believe? I love you, what is suspicious about that?"

"There are too many suspicious things." Joanne, like analyzing a case, analyzed it bit by bit. "First, you told me very clearly before we got married that our wedding only lasted two years. And you were reluctant to marry me. Second, you are Brian, so you can have what kind of woman out there, and I may be the least conspicuous of them. Third... I don't feel that you love me."

Brian bit his teeth. "Joanne, I only explain it once, so listen to me clearly. First, I was lying to you. Second, even if you are the least conspicuous of them, I just fancy you. Do you have a problem with that? "

His eyes were sharp, like a sword dancing in front of Joanne's eyes, Joanne suddenly smelled the dangerous atmosphere and shaking her head. "No..." She dared not have a problem with his anything.

"Third," Brian paused and narrowed his eyes. "To save you, I gave up business worth hundreds of millions of bucks and came back from the United States. To give you a truly unique diamond ring, I spent a lot to buy a diamond that had just been mined. I try my best to give you the best of everything, spend time with you to do those boring little things, and let the entire world know that you are Mrs. Lambert... Joanne, you can't feel that I love you, huh? "

Joanne's long eyelashes flashed, and out of nowhere, the crystal tears slipped from her eyelids.

Since that time when she was admitted to hospital because of the stomach disease that long hunted her, Brian really treated her very. Although he occasionally teased her and made her blush, he never really hurt her.

Over time, she was used to Brian's attention, so in the past few days when Brian neglected her, she reacted so intensely.

To make matters worse, like what Brian said, she actually took his care for granted and failed to feel his effort.

No, it was not exactly like this!

She shook her head. "No, Brian, I just... don't dare to think so."

In fact, she could feel all the love Brian gave to her.

She just did not dare to take his care as a sign of love, she saw them as "kindness".

She thought that Brian took care of her because of Iris's expectation because she said he must be good to her. After all, he said long ago that he married her just to make Iris happy. Well, then, his kindness to her must be something reassuring for Iris.

He was the chosen one, while she was some common people in the crowd. How could she understand it as love just because Brian was good to her? How did she dare to think that Brian fell for her?

Brian wiped the tears from her eyes. "Don't cry, it's my fault. I lied to you first." Joanne, please forgive me. "

Joanne was a little dazed and thought of what Brian said to her on the day before their wedding. He lied to her.

She once thought that Brian fell in love with her after their marriage, but now according to what he said...

She rubbed her tears hard and stared at Brian. "Tell me everything!"

"You thought I forgot you after going abroad, but I didn't." Brian finally said these words, "Joanne, I always remember you, and even think of you every day. I have intentionally or unintentionally run into you several times, but you never saw me. "

Joanne was even more confused. "When did you visit me? Have we not seen each other for more than a decade? "

"When I was a freshman, you went to Mr. Megan's house to apply for the tutoring job, and I was on my way there for some arrangements. When I arrived, I saw you and a few people coming out of their house. On Christmas Eve last year, you and Freya to the cinema. At that time, I saw you in the huge crowd. I gave you the two tickets. Also, shortly after you returned home when you followed your brother to the golf course. In fact, I went there that day too. "

During her entire life, Joanne followed Chris once to go to a golf course-just to "run into" Lu Jianyan.

But then she did not see Brian, thinking that he did not go, but...

In the middle of her thinking, Joanne suddenly realized something and looked at Brian in disbelief. "Did Mr. Megan and Mrs. Megan finally choose me as their son's tutor and even double my salary because you arranged that?"

In this case, Mrs. Megan raising her pay at that time had a proper reason, and things made sense when she and Brian first met Mrs. Megan together, Mrs. Megan said that "Mr. Lambert cares about you more than you'd imagined".

After getting married for so long, Brian actually resisted the urge to tell her the truth all this time. Was he really so inward?

Joanne's eyes became more and more fierce, while Brian was calm, lifting his eyebrows and said blandly, "I did put in a good word for you in front of Mrs. Megan. You're welcome."

"It's really you." Joanne felt like in a dream and even felt the walking Brian in front of her not real. "Brian, you... when did you start..." When did he start to care for her?

"I do not know." Brian looked at Joanne, his eyes were obscure and complicated. "Maybe it was the first time I saw you, maybe the second or third time." In short, when you were young."

"..." A thousand words rushed to the lips, but Joanne couldn't say anything. She just looked at Brian, as if she still suspected it was a dream.

"I thought you loved others. I was so afraid that you would divorce me when the two years end." Brian smiled and laughed at himself. "I am even more afraid that I will not let you go by then and you'll hate me."

"So, you quarreled with me and drove me away?"

"There are some other things." Brian said, "I will tell you later."

Joanne had seen him confident and arrogant like there was no one else, seen him savage like a beast, and seen him tender like water, but she had never seen Brian like this.

He unloaded all the pride and aura, like the most ordinary person, and explained to her, confessing his fear and unconfidence.

"Brian," Joanne could no longer hold back her tears, and they dripped down her face. She pushed Brian forcefully. "You bastard!"

Brian hugged her. "Joanne, you can hit me and curse me, as long as you come home with me."

"I won't go back with you!" Joanne struggled in his arms. "You said that you have done so much for me. What about me?" You have a bad stomach, so I find ways to heal it. I told your secretary to not give you any cold drink, I... I didn't do much for you, but it was the best I could do..."

"I know." Brian hugged her, and the warm kiss fell on her cheeks and neck. "I know. I was so happy that you sent me a tie. This is the best thing that happened to me this year except marrying you. But Joanne, I didn't know how long I can be happy. I could only wear that tie all the time. I lied to you when I said that it was easy to reach, so I wanted to put it outside."

Joanne gradually came to understand that Brian was similar to her. They all thought that the other party would not fall in love with themselves and tried to cover up all the emotions and feelings.

"Brian," she asked. "If we have been married for two years now, and I am going to divorce you. What would you do?"

"I won't let you." Brian suddenly hugged her tight. "In the future, even if I have to tie you to keep you by my side, I will. Don't you ever want to leave me again."

Joanne just wanted to say something, and suddenly Brian caught her lips.

He kissed very violently, and he was almost barbaric as if he were telling the world that she was his, and could only be his.

Joanne wanted to break free from him but had no chance at all. Besides, she had injuries and cannot make a move.

The distance of their body was almost less than one millimeter. Joanne could hear Brian's heartbeat and feel his heat.

Her tongue became numb from his sucking, and eventually, all her strength was squeezed out by him and then she slowly collapsed into his arms.

"Joanne," His voice was low and hoarse, and he suddenly became gentle. He held Joanne's cheek and tasted her sweetness. "Let's go home, okay?"

When a woman acted tender, the man might be soft with her. But when a man who was handsome and usually played cool suddenly acted gentle, no woman could resist him.

The word "OK" was on the verge of Joanne's lips, and when she was about to blurt it out, she suddenly sobered up and snapped. "No!"

Brian let go of her. "Why? I told you I didn't quarrel with you deliberately on those days. As long as you go home with me, you can do whatever you want to punish me, OK?"

"No." Joanne looked away.

She was deliberately trying to make things difficult for Brian because he made her cry in the past few days.

"If you want to recover yourself here, it's okay." Brian compromised, "I'll stay with you. When you recover, let's go back to Arlington."

"I won't go home with you even when I'm back to Arlington." Joanne snorted. "I am going back to my home."

"Do you like to live in that small apartment?" Brian raised his eyebrows. "Well, let's move over."

"Brian!" Joanne glared at Brian in anger. This guy really knew how to play a tug-of-war. However, when it came to a verbal war, he could never win her.

Thinking of this, Joanne smiled and grinned from ear to ear. "Hubby, aren't we going to divorce? Have you prepared the agreement?"

Brian then really froze, and he squinted. "Joanne!" He seemed to squeeze every word out of him.

Joanne smiled even more charmingly. "What?"

Brian knew that she was on purpose, so he closed his eyes and wore a gentle face. "You are still angry, and we will talk about this later."
