What was Joanne most afraid of?

Brian with a cold and gloomy face.

She still remembered that when she just married him, how Brian's indifference chilled her. He was there, so close to her, but she still felt that he was as far away as before.

It seemed that as soon as he turned around, he could easily leave her completely as he had never had anything to do with her.

The fear shrouded Joanne as she suddenly rushed to Brian and hugged him hard. "I can explain, don't go."

Brian was unprepared, and Joanne dived at him. He was pushed back before he grabbed her waist and stood still.

At that moment, his heart greatly shook.

Joanne was afraid-she thought he would leave?

"I don't... don't hate children." In the middle of her explanation, Joanne's face already reddened. "I think it's not the right time now... Think about it, how much alcohol have you drank during those business meals..."

"Do you know this medicine is harmful to you?" Brian's voice still sounded cold.

"..." Joanne nodded.

Brian was completely mad. "And you still take them?! "

"..." Joanne was dazed and felt confused-It turned out that Brian was angry because she hurt herself instead of her not willing to have children?

Brian took the pills out of the drawer and opened it. One tablet was missing from one of the strips.

His eyes sank again. "When did you take it?"

"This... morning..." Joanne bit her lips and dared not look at Brian, her head nearly low on the ground.

"Flop-" The sound of an object hitting the floor.

Joanne looked in the direction and found out that Brian had thrown the box of pills into the trash bin.

She couldn't tell if Brian was still angry, so she watched him cautiously and quickly tried to think of a solution.

"I will make it safe." Brian helplessly looked at Joanne. "Don't take any more medicine later."

Seeing his tone eased, Joanne's finally removed the uneasiness in the heart, and then she touched his toes with hers. "I didn't mean to hide from you. I just... didn't know how to remind you..."

She was too shy so she simply bought the medicine and took it herself.

"It's not your fault. I didn't think it through." Brian stroked Joanne's head. "You are still a child, and I am too impatient."

""

Joanne would like to remind Brian that she was 24 years old.

Since the death of her mother, she had seen the warmth and sinfulness of the world, and she had not allowed herself to be a child again.

However, being a child in Brian's eyes seemed nice.

Thus, she smiled. "I don't blame you!"

She actually played dumbed when she already got the favors.

Brian squinted. "Do you think I can't handle you?"

Since she was seen through, Joanne raised her chin. "Yes, you do!"

Brian glanced at her and suggestively raised his lips. "I can't do it today. Are you sure I can't do it for four to five days later?"

"Boom-" Thunder clapped above her head. Joanne felt dazed.

Brian was very satisfied with Joanne's reaction and lifted the quilt to signal at her to get on the bed. "Let's go to sleep."

Joanne climbed up. Lu Bpyan tucked her in and pecked her between her eyebrows. "I am going to take a shower."

Soon, splashes of water sounded from the bathroom, and Joanne was holding the quilt, not sleepy at all despite her continuous effort.

When Brian came out, she nimbly rolled and got into his arms.

When the little monster took the initiative to fall into his arms, Brian naturally grabbed her tightly, and gently placed his hand on her lower abdomen. "Does it hurt?"

Then, Joanne remembered and discovered that it didn't seem to hurt so much during her recent periods.

She shook her head. "The Chinese medicine that you forced me to drink has worked!"

How could she not discover before? Brian cared about her. Even if some utterly trivial thing happened to her, he would try his best to solve it for her.

However, maybe because he always said something he didn't mean to, she actually considered Brian indifferent to her.

"Brian," Joanne stirred in Brian's solid and warm arms. "Thank you." She meant it.

If it weren't for Brian, she couldn't even imagine that she could live so happy.

If it were not Brian, she may not be able to appreciate the true taste of love in her life.

However, Brian frowned and looked unsatisfied.

Joanne wondered. "What's wrong?"

"You used to call me with a surname, and I don't mind it." Brian suddenly clutched at Joanne into his arms. "But now, I do mind it."

"I don't see anything wrong with... calling you by your full name." Joanne blinked and tried to confuse Brian's thinking. "Think about it, besides me, who else dares to call your full name? This is also a way to express affection!"

However, it implied something that could not be rejected. How domineering that was!

"Don't try to brainwash me." Brian effortlessly dismantled Joanne's tricks and looked at her dangerously. "Starting from tomorrow, don't call me with my full name again."

"Husband..."

Joanne was deliberate. She uttered the sound just right, soft enough to create the illusion of being in the clouds. Her voice gently melted in her heart, making people want to press her into their arms.

Brian's eyes fell darker and darker, but they were not gloomy. Instead, they came with something that Joanne found both strange and familiar with.

Joanne raised her lips in pride, but she still looked so innocent. "Then I'll change into these two words, so do you like it?"

Brian admitted that he was shaken, but how could he be so easily defeated by her?

His lips raised with a calm smile. "I like it very much. Can you call me again with that?"

Joanne was dazed, her face flushed, but she started it, and she would take the challenge even when she wanted to back out and cry.

"Husband..." Suddenly, she felt it addictive and yelled while stirring in Brian's arms, "Husband, husband, husband, husband..."

Brian's eyes grew darker and darker. Joanne felt that she might get into trouble if she continued, and she wouldn't have this "amulet" for long, so she decisively closed her eyes. "I'll go to sleep!"

Curling up in Brian's arms, she really fell asleep in a few minutes.

Brian listened to her long breathing, and a heavy sigh escaped from his lips. Gripping Joanne tightly, he closed his eyes in the dark.

Soon, it was almost the knockout round of the sixth episode of Top Model.

Freya won the championship for five consecutive weeks, but she did not lost her mind in pride. Instead, she arranged for more training during the daytime. The private teacher advised her to relax. She turned a deaf ear and was stuck in the training. Candy shook her head and commented. "This child has gone mad."

However, seething their artist working so hard, Candy was actually happy, and the senior management was also very happy.

Only Chris was not.

He was usually busy with work. He had to deal with documents, negotiations, and business meals, one after another. He did not expect Freya to be as busy as him, so he could not see her so often during a week.

Even if she came occasionally, she lay feebly on the sofa and didn't respond to him much.

After a while, Chris finally broke out, and personally found Gavin to reduce Freya's task.

It turned out that before Gavin replied, Freya first came to him.

"Chris, you can't be so selfish!" Freya was like a little lion defending his legitimate rights and interests. "I've worked hard to earn all of the job opportunities. What do you mean by having Gavin cancel my shows?"

Chris dragged Freya to the sofa.

He knew that this lion could be persuaded by reason but not be cowed by force, so he gently whispered to her, "Between two people, one of them must run the family errands. We have been together for so long, and how many times do you think we've met with each other and spend time together?"

Freya's strong aura gradually faded. "... Don't you hate it when women pester you?"

Chris went to kiss her. "If the woman is you, I don't mind it whenever you pester me."

Freya admitted that she was shaken, but... something seemed out of place.

Before laying feebly back on the sofa, Freya promptly stopped Chris's "evil" hand. "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking!"

"Oh?" Chris raised his lips, poised. "Tell me, what am I thinking now?"

"You wanted..." Very rarely, Freya stuttered, but to save her face, she managed to look into Chris and found an alternative word. "That!"

"That what?" Chris smiled pleasantly and moved his hands. "This?"

"..."

Freya was overwhelmed.

Freya was very upset and finally realized that she was not an opponent of Chris.

"I won't promise you." She looked at Chris seriously. "I just want to work!"

Since she was not the opponent of Chris, then she'd shun fights with him.

If she worked harder, she wouldn't have a chance to fight Chris. Freya thought like that.

Chris knew that after the previous round, Freya had been completely angered by him, so he changed his style of offensive-

"Joanne will have a wedding ceremony. Did she told you?"

"How could she not?" Freya was really happy in an instant. "We've started to pick the bridesmaid dress!"

"You can take a look at the wedding dress while you are at it." Chris was suggestive.

"I can't." Freya did not think about his words at all, and she said, "Brian hired teams from huge brands to design dresses and gowns for Joanne. He wants to have a unique wedding dress in the world, and we can only see the drafts..."

Chris had a headache and rubbed his temples. Was Freya really stupid, or was she playing dumb?

"Freya." He looked at her. "Do you still not trust me?"

Freya climbed over and smiled at Chris. "Did you do something behind my back?"

Chris held Freya's face in his hands. "I'm serious about being with you. Have you heard me?"

"Yes." Freya also restrained her grin. "I just... really like this job. Are you not used to me like this? You think I should go shopping and clubbing all day long as I did before? Isn't that being idle in your eyes? Now that I have found a goal to strive for. Isn't that great?"

In the middle of it, she glared at Chris. "But you are really hard to please. I've been working hard and you say that I don't believe you. But if I stay at home to live off you, I guess you'll call me lost and directionless, right?"

""

Chris's headache grew intenser.

It was completely different from what he wanted to say. According to Freya's logic, he might fail to get to his point by the end of the day.

He might as well let Freya see how hard it was to please him.

Freya only felt a push, and she completely tumbled down. When she reacted, she couldnt even scream...

Chris had given up in persuading Freya out of her job.

Because of her statement. "I just really like this job."

She had the right to pursue anything she wanted, and if he tried to stop her for his interest, he wouldn't be qualified as her boyfriend.

Compared to arguing with Freya and her weird way of thinking, he might as well do something that a qualified boyfriend should do...
