A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 376

Seeing that Joanna did not speak, Cedric's eyes turned a little gloomy.

He pursed his lips and gently touched Joanna's cheek with his fingers. "What's wrong? Don't you want to marry me?" he whispered.

"Would it be a little fast for us to get married?"

Joanna looked at Cedric and asked nervously.

"How could it be fast? I want... to be with you, and you want to stay with Kerr, don't you?"

Cedric stared at Joanna with keen eyes and said in a soft voice.

Hearing this, Joanna said with hesitation, "I want to think about it."

"Okay."

Cedric held Kerr in his arms with one hand and held Joanna's waist with the other hand. He put his chin on Joanna's shoulder and nodded gently.

He had promised that he would respect all of Joanna's decisions and would never force her again.

Joanna stayed with Cedric and Kerr until five o'clock in the afternoon before she came back to her house.

When she opened the door, she saw Earl sitting on the sofa. Who was watching TV in a daze. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he looked up at Joanna and smiled as gently as usual.

"You're back. Are you tired? What would you like to eat tonight? I'm going to the market to buy it."

Looking at Earl's considerate smile, Joanna felt guilty when she thought that she was with Cedric last night.

She lowered her head and said to Earl sadly, "Earl, have you... waited for me for a whole day?"

"I don't know where you were, and your phone couldn't get through. I almost called the police. I'm relieved that you're back!" Earl gently rubbed Joanna's hair and said.

The more considerate Earl was, the guiltier Joanna felt. While facing Earl, Joanna was in a bad mood.

She took a deep breath, stared at Earl's face and said in a dull voice, "Actually... Last night, I... was with Cedric."

"Really? I never expected you were with Cedric. Have you reconciled?" Hearing Joanna's words, Earl looked a little sad and lonely, but he returned to normal soon, as if what Joanna saw just now was her illusion.

Joanna lowered her head and apologized to Earl with a bow, "I'm sorry, Earl. I'm not a good woman. I told myself not to be fooled by Cedric again, but I'm always... softhearted to him. I find that I can't... completely forget him. He forced me to give birth to Kerr and he caused Arvin's death. In fact, I haven't completely forgiven him, but I can't deceive my heart. I... still love Cedric." She had been lying to herself all the time. She felt that she could definitely forget Cedric and fall in love with Arvin. But finally she found that she could not lie to herself.

"I know.1' Hearing Joanna's words, Earl didn't get angry. He just looked at Joanna with great pity.

His eyes were still as bright as the sun.

He gently hugged Joanna's body and whispered, "I know. I don't blame you, I will wait for you and protect you."

"I'm sorry, I'm a bad woman. I'm very bad." Being treated by Earl so gently, Joanna burst into tears uncontrollably.

Earl reached out frustratedly and touched Joanna's eyelids, "Little Fool, I don't blame you at all, as long as you are happy. If Cedric can make you happy, I won't mind even if you are with him. I only want you to be happy."

"Thank you, Earl." Joanna said gratefully.

"We're still good friends, aren't we?"

"Yeah." Joanna nodded and looked at Earl with tears in her eyes.

"Well, wash your face now. Let's go to the market later."

"Okay." Joanna nodded and went upstairs to change her clothes.

The tenderness on Earl's face disappeared instantly as he watched Joanna go upstairs.

He sneered, and his indifferent face looked extremely cold at the moment. He didn't expect that Cedric and Joanna would become reconciled so quickly, and he didn't want his plan to be ruined.

It seemed that he must do something.

"How about eating hot pot tonight?" Earl took a bunch of lettuce, looked back at Joanna, who was picking tomato, and asked.

Hearing this, Joanna nodded and said, "No problem."

After they chose all the food ingredients, they went to the cashier to pay the bill. After coming out of the supermarket, they were about to go home.

However, as soon as they reached the door, they saw Cedric.

Cedric held the Kerr in his arms. Kerr seemed to be in good spirits and was blowing bubbles cutely.

"Why are you here?" Joanna was obviously very surprised when she saw Cedric. She did not expect that Cedric would bring Kerr here to find her.

Joanna looked at Earl worriedly, but there was no expression on Earl's face.

Cedric strode forward and handed Kerr to Joanna, saying, "Kerr misses you so much, so I bring him here."

Did Kerr miss Joanna?

A cold voice interrupted the extremely warm atmosphere.

Joanna was shocked. She pushed away Cedric who was holding her tightly in a hurry and saw Earl standing at the door of the kitchen.

After seeing Earl, Joanna was a little flustered. She stuttered and explained to Earl, "Well... Things aren't..."

"Need help? I can help you. Joanna has to take care of Kerr."

Compared with Joanna's embarrassment, Cedric was very calm.

He put his coat aside, took off his tie and rolled up his sleeves.

Joanna said worriedly as she watched Cedric's movements, "Cedric, do you know how to cook?"

She didn't except that Cedric knew how to cook. Moreover, food cooked by Cedric... would it be delicious?

Seeing Joanna looking at him with suspicion, Cedric's happy mood suddenly became extremely depressed.

"You don't believe me?"

It was not a matter of believing him it or not, okay?

Looking at Cedric's unhappy face, Joanna was speechless.

Joanna suddenly had a headache looking at Cedric's back.

She hoped that Cedric wouldn't mess up the kitchen.

"What happened?" As soon as Nacho came to the company, he found that there were many people in the hall and heard some abuses. He frowned and asked the receptionist who was looking on.

Suddenly hearing Nacho's voice, the receptionist was shocked. When she turned around, she immediately stuttered to explain, "Just now, a woman grabbed Sibyl Garcia's arm and scolded her as a mistress. Then they quarreled..."

Sibyl Garcia? Why was this name so familiar? Nacho thought for a while. He walked to the crowd and saw a woman in a loose red maternity dress. She grabbed Sibyl's hand and scolded her, saying that Sibyl was a mistress who ruined her family.

Sibyl's face was a little pale. She shook off the woman's hand forcefully. The woman was unwilling to give up, she hit Sibyl with her belly. Then she fell to the ground and screamed, saying that Sibyl wanted to kill her child.

"Sibyl, you b*tch, how can you be so cruel? I'm pregnant with Winfred Parker's child. How dare you push me? You'll die a terrible death."

"It was you who hit me." Hearing the woman's words, Sibyl straightened up and shouted at the woman.

"You ruined my family. You shameless mistress. You'll be punished!" The woman held her belly and cursed Sibyl ruthlessly.
