Chapter 323 The Two Men Took Over The Kitchen

Joanna was very sure of her feelings for him but she began to doubt herself and her feelings the moment she recalled Amelia's words.

Peering at her smiling face, Amos decided to take this as she permitting him to go ahead with whatever he wanted.

To seal his confession he bent to kiss her but she violently pushed him away.

"S-stay away from me," She shouted and ran to the bedroom.

Amos was perplexed by what happened. His head and mind went blank at that instant.

"Did I do or say something?" He was left confused by her actions. He proceeded to the bedroom with hopes of finding out what was wrong but to his greatest dismay, he met her laying on the bed with the bedsheets burying her tiny figure.

"I really wanted to know what I did wrong to make her react like that but I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow," He muttered and strolled to the other side of the bed.

After adjusting Anthony's leg, he laid down facing the lady's figure lying on the other end.

[Of course, you didn't do anything wrong. The problem lies with me. I am at fault for not being able to discover what exactly I feel for you. I am such an idiot for making you wait a bit longer when you have waited all these years for me]

Tears drizzled down her pretty face as she covered her mouth to prevent a sound from coming out.

An hour later, Joanna pulled the sheets over her head and sat up with her back resting against the headboard.

Her eyes glistened as she gaze at the faces of the two sleeping figures by her side.

"I never knew that he was fond of kids," she mumbled. She reached out her hand and pulled the bed sheets so that it covered the two of them properly.

"With the two of them cuddling each other like this one would mistake them for father and son," She giggled while gazing at Anthony's sleeping face.

She would have felt jealous if Anthony was hugging another person so tightly but since it was Amos, she felt happy instead.

The next day, Joanna turned around and felt her bedside with her left hand. Her eyes fluttered open when she felt that her bedside was empty.

She propelled her body upwards and rubbed her eyes twice when everything felt blurry. She scanned the bed afterwards and true to her guess no one was lying on the bed.

"Where on Earth did the two of them go?" She muttered and climbed out of bed.

She was in a haste to find Amos and Anthony and forgot to arrange her pyjamas and messy hair.

Stepping out of the bedroom, she scrutinized the sitting room but no one was there.

The only thing she saw was her cell phone lying on the centre table.

"Where must he have taken my Little rice ball this early morning?" She asked as she ran her fingers through her messy hair.

Just then the clanking of metal coming from her left-hand side caught her attention.

Almost immediately the sound stopped like it never existed in the first place.

"Did they enter the kitchen and forget to return the utensils to their original position?" She mumbled and approached the kitchen.

Getting closer to the kitchen she could hear faint sounds and people speaking in low tones.

Joanna's heart started pounding when the thought that thieves might have broken in crossed her mind.

Despite being scared she forged ahead like the hardhearted woman she was.

Getting to the kitchen, she hid behind the white wall and stuck out her head.

[It's them!]

Her mouth hung open when she got a glimpse of those standing in front of the kitchen counter.

"Little man, are you sure we are supposed to do it this way?" Amos holding onto a transparent small white jar asked the boy by his side.

"I have seen Big Sis prepare fried eggs many times so I am sure this is the way we are supposed to do it," Anthony said confidently.

From where she hid Joanna watched as Amos unscrewed the jar's cork.

She had no choice but to come out of her hiding place when she realised what Amos wanted to do.

"What do you think you are doing?" Joanna demanded before Amos could empty the entire jar of salt inside the pan on the cooker.

At the same time Amos and Anthony gaze at the side the voice came from.

The two of them looked at Joanna intently without uttering a word.

"I just asked what you both are doing in the kitchen so why is none of you saying anything but instead keeps gazing at me?" Joanna questioned frowning. She walked into the kitchen and approached where they stood.

Joanna's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when she reached the counter and saw what they had done.

The pepper, spring onions, cabbage and other ingredients were cut into big sizes. Though they managed to crack the eggs, half of it had poured on the floor.

Raising her gaze to look at them, she met Anthony giggling.

"What's funny that is making you giggle huh?" She asked.

"Hahaha…," Anthony laughed instead of replying. The already upset Joanna didn't find this funny at all.

"I am gonna…,"

"Big Sis, why do you look like that?" He asked while pointing at her messy hair. Her natural silver hair which had always been the envy of many girls was a complete mess.

"Like what?" Joanna demanded, not understanding what Anthony was trying to say.

"Big Sis, I heard that girls are supposed to always look beautiful in front of the man they love but why do you look like a total mess," Anthony was blunt with his reply.

He got Amos giggling at his words.

It was then it dawned on Joanna that she didn't look at herself in the mirror before she rushed out of the bedroom earlier.

Slowly, she raised her hand to touch her hair. Merely feeling her hair with her right hand gave a vivid image of what she looked like at the moment.
