Chapter 423 Audrey Finally Texted Back

"And that is why I love her a lot too...,"

"You know how to sweet talk but I am sure in a minute or two you would be repeating the exact thing...,"

"I promise I won't," Anthony said with his right hand on his chest. "I now know that Big Sis doesn't like that so I promise I will not do it again," Anthony said with his hand still on his chest.

"Really?" Joanna asked suspiciously.

"He won't," Amos answered on Anthony's behalf. "If he tries that again then I promise that I will be the one to spank him first before you even get to do that".

Amos trolled to where the siblings stood. "I am sure he must know that my spank is more painful than yours and as such he won't play such an expensive prank on you".

"I would have believed it if it was little rice ball who gave me his words and not you...,"

"Are you trying to say that I lack truth in my mouth...,"

"I never said that," Joanna shrugged her shoulders and approached the wardrobe. "You said that you and my little rice ball can be my witness".

"You...," Amos pointed his hand at the two siblings pretending to be upset when he saw that they had teamed up against him.

"I now understand why people say you should never trust blood relatives who are rivals because they can always set aside their differences and team up against you...,"

"Where did you hear that statement from, I have never heard of that," Joanna interrupted. She deliberately refused to look in his direction since she could already guess what would be his expression.

"You are right about that Big Sis...,"

"Hey, little man, how could you gang up with your big sister against...,"

"Little rice ball, tell him that your big sister comes first before any other person," Joanna said with pride.

"My Big Sis comes...,"

"I don't want to listen," He said and hastened out of the room.

He shut the door and pretended to have walked away by making false departing footsteps while he stood in front of the door.

Joanna and Anthony burst out laughing after the defeated Amos left the room.

"He should have known better that this was a losing battle for him from the beginning," Joanna muttered amidst her laughter.

[It's so nice to listen to their laughter. I guess I should act this way more often to hear them laugh so heartily]

He smiled and disappeared from where he stood.

Joanna waited for the excitement to die off before she turned and gazed at the smiling Anthony.

"I want to shower so you will have to go and keep your brother Amos company," Joanna informed him.

​ Anthony smiled and turned to leave the room.

"Also, while at it try your best to appease his anger. I know you are good at stuff like that so I trust you will do a good job right?" Joanna winked at the boy whose gaze was now focused on her.

"I know what to do Big Sis, trust me," He hits his chest confidently. The confidence in his smile and eyes made Joanna feel a bit at ease.

He spun and resumed walking after he had given Joanna his word.

"Although those two can be a handful at times I must admit that I am blessed to have them in my life," Joanna muttered, her gaze focused on the brown door.

She turned and continued with what she was doing.

Joanna was in the middle of undressing when Audrey's gamepad laid on the brown table caught her attention.

"I haven't set my eyes on that silly girl for days now nor have I been able to talk to her. I wonder what she has been up to these days," Joanna mumbled.

She searched the bed with her eyes for her phone when she didn't see it. She shifted her attention to the side table and there it was.

After seeing where the phone lay she didn't need to stress herself and walk over there.

All she needed to do was to stretch her hand to where the phone was kept and instantly it flew into her outstretched hand.

Joanna dialled Audrey's line and waited for a response. Just like her recent tries these past days there was no response.

She almost smashed the phone against the floor on her third try.

"Joanna, no matter how angry you are, you can't take out your anger on the phone. Don't forget this was Kay's first gift to you after your rebirth," Joanna chanted to calm her tensed nerves.

Amos who heard her conversation all away from the sitting room smiled.

"Big Sis kinda acts a bit weird when she is mad but I promise that she is not crazy. She just has a funny way of venting her anger," Anthony said, his gaze glued on the face of the guy who couldn't stop chuckling.

"I know that little man," Amos chuckled. "Instead of being crazy, I think she is cute. I wish I could see her expression right now," Amos giggled.

He took his gaze off his phone screen and stared at the brown door of the room where Joanna was inside.

Inside the room, Joanna resorted to texting Audrey when calling didn't work.

"Girl, I am worried about you. Please text back or call when you receive my text. I will hit you so hard on the face if you refuse to reply today again," Joanna sent the text message after she finished typing.

She waited for ten minutes hoping that Audrey would reply but there was no reply after waiting.

Out of annoyance, she was forced to threaten Audrey fiercely through a voice message.

Not up to ten seconds after she sent the last message her cellphone dinged.

Joanna, who was in front of the bathroom, ran back to where she dropped her cell phone.

She picked up the phone, unlocked it and checked who sent an inbox.

A broad smile plastered on her pretty face when she saw that the sender was Audrey.
