Chapter 321 Joanna Humbles Adhara

Amos felt unhappy that she stopped him from standing up for her. But hearing her compliments him in front of others made his heart smile.

He felt the urge to hold her chin and shower her with hot kisses at that moment but he held himself back.

"Ooh… wait," Joanna said with her right hand raised in the air. She stepped away from the door and onto the corridor where the mother and daughter stood.

She stood facing Laura with only a tiny space in between them.

"Don't tell me you are this bitter because you can't proudly flaunt your boyfriend in front of everyone but can only date him in the dark…,"

"H-how dare you tried to slander me?" Laura shouted fuming. She raised her left hand to slap Joanna.

She forgot so soon what became of her right hand after she tried to slap Amos.

"Stepmother, if I am you, I will do everything it takes to make her drop her hands because if her hand dares to touch me, your new home will be the prison starting from tonight," Joanna stood there without attempting to dodge Laura's descending hand.

"Prison?" Adhara shouted. How she yanked Laura's hand to her side made Amos and Joanna chuckle.

"That's good, stepmother. You just earned yourself a chance to be a free man," Joanna smiled sweetly and moved away from them.

[What the hell did I just witness? What on Earth did she do to her evil stepmother to make her so afraid of her?]

Amos stared at Joanna as if he was looking at a stranger.

"You promised that you will keep that a secret so why are you bringing it up in front of this man…,"

"I never promised you anything to be precise," Joanna abruptly cut in. "And I swear, I will forget I ever told you that I will think about keeping your secret if you or Laura dares to insult him," Joanna said firmly.

[I swear I feel like strangling this bitch and I would have done that a long time ago if she didn't have dirt on me. Just wait until I lay a hand on that bird of hers. You will be the next person I will deal with]

Adhara clenched her fists and grit her teeth to suppress her desire to kill.

"See, I have made her put her hand down just like you wanted. Are you happy now?" Adhara asked.

Her pride hurts to be speaking to Joanna so nicely when she is the one being belittled here but the fear of going to prison would not let her do anything.

"How can I be happy when I am looking at your faces right now?" Joanna snapped. She shot Laura a murderous glare seeing how her mother was struggling to keep her under control.

"Also, what would you do if Little rice ball woke up as a result of your loud voices? Don't you think it's time for the two of you to leave?" She asked bluntly. She folded her hand below her chest and leaned against the door frame.

She saw just how displeased Adhara was with her question with the way she clenched her fist but her stony heart wasn't moved the slightest bit.

"I was worried about how he was faring that is why we came over to check up on him but we will leave now that I have heard he is sleeping…,"

"Mum, what the hell are you saying?" Laura asked in disbelief. She has seen her mother humble herself in front of Joanna but this was the height of it and she won't keep quiet this time around.

"Don't tell me you are really gonna do like she said…,"

"Stop talking and let's go…," Laura brushed off her mother's hands, not letting her pull her away.

"Mum, I have always known you to be an iron woman. Handling someone like her has always been a piece of cake for you so what has happened to you?" Laura asked. She ignored all the signs her mother was giving her.

"Why are you letting her push you around like some piece of garbage…,"

"Stop talking and let's leave right now…,

"But Mum!" Laura shouted but despite her displeasure, Adhara dragged her out of there.

Amos watched everything with a puzzled expression. He kept staring at her face even after they were gone.

"The drama had long been wrapped up, are you gonna stand here staring at me all night?" Joanna questioned. She turned and entered the room without waiting for his reply.

The moment she set foot inside the sitting someone grabbed her hand from behind, spun her around and pin her against the white wall.

Joanna frowned, raising her gaze to see that Amos was the one who did this to her. "What the hell do you think you are…,"

"Sshh…," he lifted his finger and placed it on her lips. "Keep it low or else you are gonna wake up your little man. We won't have any choice but to wrap things up before anything begins if he was to wake up now," He mumbled.

His voice was low but the sexiness in his tone lingered in her ears like the after-effects of a strong drug.

"You said I was hot, was that true?" He said while looking into her eyeballs.

Joanna's body stiffened when he bent so that his warm breath grazed against her bare skin.

[What the hell is wrong with him? He was acting normally before but why is he behaving as if he is on drugs? And why is my goddamn body reacting so quickly to his closeness]

Joanna bit her lower lips and clasped her hand into a ball.

[Don't forget Little rice ball is here so get your acts straight, Joanna Anderson]

Joanna cautioned herself when she felt herself subconsciously sniffing his addicting scent.

"If your answer is yes then how hot am I?" He asked as he rubbed his nose against her bare neck.
