At midnight, Joanne grasped Brian's pillow, but still couldn't fall asleep.
It seemed that it was really not a good habit to get used to Brian's company.
When she was tossing and turning, there was the sound of the door being pushed open. She subconsciously sat up and looked at the door. It turned out that Brian was back.
Brian's action was very light, for he was afraid of awaking Joanne. But in no way did she look like she was asleep?
He walked to the bedside and said, frowning at the dazed Joanne. "Why don't you sleep?"
Joanne didn't tell him the truth, of course. She touched her nose and said, "I had just finished watching a movie and was about to sleep..."
Except for cooking in the kitchen, Joanne's favorite thing was to find movies to watch on various video websites. Without any suspicion, Brian tucked her into the quilt. "It is too late and you need to rest now."
Joanne came out of the quilt again. "Do you want to take a bath? Let me prepare clothes for you!"
She had slipped out of bed while saying. Then she found the nightgown and handed it to Brian, and watched Brian enter the bathroom before lying down. At that time her heart suddenly became stable.
Like what Freya had said, she just felt that everything was right suddenly. She did not tend to toss and turn because of something on her heart.
She was not used to Brian. But only when Brian was by her side, she would feel secure.
Before they got the marriage certificate, she had imagined what she would be when she left Brian, which must be very natural and poised without any bad feeling.
Now she thought about it and found the self-righteousness at that time was so childish and ridiculous.
After Brian took a shower, he found Joanne still lying on the bed with her eyes wide open. He pulled back the cover and lay down. "Are you still not sleepy?"
Joanne squirmed like a cartilage animal and completely shrank into Brian's arms.
She took a deep breath and her nose was full of the familiar smell.
Then she closed her eyes quietly and replied. "I'm sleepy now. Good night."
Within several minutes, she fell asleep with ease.
Joanne had slept in Brian's arms before. However, she was always forced by Brian or unconsciously approached him after falling asleep.
She seldom offered to hug him. It was rare, but nothing felt weird.
Brian only thought that Joanne had been whimsical. But even if it was the case, something in his heart was about to overflow.
When he set up the company's headquarter in China, he frantically expanded the scale of the company. Gavin also followed him and worked hard. He once asked Brian to what extent of the expansion of Lambert Group would he find satisfying.
At that time Lambert Group was strong enough to not be shaken easily. However, he had no answer.
How could he be satisfied?
Maybe he needed more since he couldn't find any sign of satisfaction.
Later, he indeed got a lot. But until he married Joanne and took her into his arms, he finally found his heart satisfied.
At that time, he understood that only Joanne could satisfy him and make him stop.
In autumn, nights were long as if they would never end. But Brian and Joanne slept well during this endless night.
It was Sunday the next day. Brian woke Joanne up early. In a daze, Joanne just heard that Brian was talking about playing golf and then she was carried into the bathroom. Under his command and force, she began to wash face and brush teeth.
Finally, at the time of changing clothes, Joanne came to life. She changed into the sportswear that Brian selected for her and applied the sun cream, and then followed Brian to go out.
In the early morning, the air in the garden was so fresh that people were reluctant to go indoors. Following Brian's footsteps, Joanne put her hands in her hoodie's pockets and asked, "Who would play with us?"
"Your brother and several friends."
As soon as Brian finished his answer, Winston drove the car out. After he opened the door of the passenger's seat, Joanne had already got in without a single word.
Then, the car went to a golf course next to the villa area, and it was the course that Brian frequented.
Once thinking about that course, Joanne would feel embarrassed. Not long ago, she had tried hard to pretend to come across Brian there.
But now, as Mrs. Lambert, she was sitting in Brian's car and set off with him to go to that place.
Therefore, you would never know what surprises the fate would give you in the next moment.
When they arrived at the course, they parked the car outside. Then a sightseeing battery car drove over, and apparently, the young driver was familiar with Brian. "Good morning, Mr. Lambert, Mrs. Lambert. Mr. Scott and others have already arrived."
"Hum," Brian answered. "Let's go."
He took Joanne to get on the battery car together. The young man stepped the gas, and the car passed through the grassy course and then drove inside.
Last time, Joanne was too nervous to enjoy the scenery here too much. Now, looking at around carefully, she found the exuberant green endless. In the distance, there were rolling mountains and a lake. No one knew where the cool breeze blew from in the early morning, which was clean and fresh enough to make people feel comfortable. No wonder that Brian and Chris, who were so picky, liked here.
The sightseeing battery car was parked in front of the rest area. Gavin, Chris, and several other men sat there, cross-legged. They all wore sportswear, but that couldn't stop them from being aggressively handsome, which was more enjoyable than the scenery here.
Several unfamiliar people greeted Joanne, and she smiled politely and then sat down next to Chris. Brian came over and popped open a bottle of mineral water. He drank the water and said, "Stay here. If you are hungry, just order some food."
"Hum." Joanne replied. After Brian and Gavin walked away, she turned head and looked at Chris. "Brother, why don't you go together?"
"Do you want to see your brother and your love 'killing each other'?"
"Well. Not bad." Joanne used a fork to eat a piece of apple. "I've always wondered whether your or Brian's skill is better."
"Whoever is stronger or weaker, you can't be too happy." Chris said lightly, "So, it would be better if you don't know."
Joanne was stunned and shifted the topic. "What are Freya busy with these days?" She tried to contact Freya yesterday but failed.
Unexpectedly, Chris's face became gloomy suddenly. He replied in an expressionless voice. "I don't know."
Chris's reaction was absolutely unnormal.
Joanne looked at Chris carefully. "Brother, did you quarrel with Freya?"
"..." Chris calmed his face and did not speak, but this was already the best answer.
Joanne rarely saw Chris like this, so she smiled and approached him. "Your look shows that it must be because your jealousy provoked Freya."
Chris's voice became more frosty. "Eat your breakfast!"
Yesterday morning, they departed unhappily. So he tried to contact Freya at night, but she did not answer his phone. There was no doubt that Joanne was just in the line of fire when she mentioned Freya with him at this point.
Of course, Joanne could sense her brother's anger. She smiled and said, "She was angry because of your changeable emotions. Why not explain to her clearly?"
Explaining clearly was easier said than done. But, in fact, there were still too many things that Freya couldn't know. Otherwise, was there any possibility that Chris would permit Freya to act rampantly like this?
"Have you confessed to Brian?" Chris looked at Joanne.
Joanne pouted. "I'm waiting for an appropriate time."
At this time, Gavin ran over and tipped his chin to Chris. "I'm so tired. You take my place."
Now Chris didn't mind to compete with Brian. He got up to find his club and walked to them. Gavin sat in Chris's previous seat.
Joanne looked at Gavin a few times curiously. He looked calm and peaceful without any fatigue detected.
Gavin unscrewed a bottle of mineral water. "Joanne, I wanna tell you something."
Joanne asked curiously, "What is it?"
"Something about Brian." Gavin raised his head and drank around half of the bottled water. "Do you know when his birthday is?"
Joanne was stunned and then shook her head.
After having the ability to collect information in the university, she knew clearly almost all of Brian's actions in the business arena. However, she indeed didn't know his birthday.
There was no such intimate information in Brian's public data. Even his height was a rough figure guessed by the one who edited his data.
She used to be curious and used a lot of ways, but still couldn't know Brian's birthday.
"I can tell you." Gavin blinked at Joanne. "It's the 15th of the next month."
Joanne strained her eyes and said, "The 15th of the next month? That's soon. But why do you tell me this..."
Gavin interrupted Joanne. "I want you to celebrate his birthday with him. I have known him for a long time but I have never seen him celebrate his birthday. Even I knew his birthday from Aunt Iris."
"He has never celebrated his birthday?" Joanne only felt incredible. The birthday was the most extraordinary day for a person. It was surprising that Brian had never celebrated his birthday!
"And if the birthday was on the workday, he would even spend the day reading documents in the office all day." Gavin said powerlessly. "He used to be such a boring man. But now it's different and you two are married. If you want to throw a birthday party for him, I think he'll agree."
Joanne bit her lips. "Let me think about how to..."
Gavin also reminded Joanne. "By the way, prepare a present for him."
Joanne. "..."
"Just thinking about how to help Brian celebrate his birthday gives her a headache, not to mention selecting a gift for him..."
If it was a girl, Joanne hardly needed to consider what gifts to choose. Bags, clothes and jewelry, as long as she went to the mall, she could pick out the right ones immediately.
But what kind of gift would Brian like?
She looked helplessly at Gavin. "What does Brian like?"
Gavin threw up his hands powerlessly. "I also don't know. You've lived with him for more than half a year, and you may be more familiar with him. Make up your own mind. There is still time for preparation. Don't worry."
After that, Gavin ran back to the court.
At this time, the waiter of course's restaurant sent some breakfast here. Joanne picked up a steamed creamy custard bun and took a bite of it with a frown.
She looked at Brian, who was on the court.
Brian was holding the club. His slender body was as tall as a poplar rising from the ground, and his swing was graceful and nimble. The onlookers didn't care where the ball went but just fixed their eyes on him.
Joanne thought carefully and reacted suddenly-----She was fascinated by Brian all the time.
The way he got rid of his coldness and lay on the bed with his eyes closed; The way he looked casually when he woke up in the morning; The way he carefully drove the car...
All the usual gestures, as long as he was doing them, could cast an enchanting spell on people.
