    Edwin saw Joanne''s shocked expression and knew she had misunderstood him.


    "Ahem..." Joanne sized him up strangely. "Mr. Atherton, you''re really far-sighted. You even predicted


    that I would have my period at this time."


    Edwin turned his back to her with a hint of embarrassment on his face. "Why don''t you go inside and


    put it on? Are you waiting for me to help you?"


    "OK."


    Joanne went back to the bathroom, hesitating.


    She thought, "Should I put it on or not? It''s still summer. I''m asking fortrouble."


    In a day or two, she would find an excuse to go to the shooting base for training. Then, Edwin would


    not be able to control her. Thinking of this, Joanne quickly put on a maxi pad. When she came out, she


    deliberately held the wall, looking weak.


    Edwin frowned, bent down to pick her up, and walked toward the master bedroom.


    Joanne knew she couldn''t break free, so she didn''t bother to struggle. She bit her lip, pretending to be


    in pain.


    Edwin put Joanne back on the big bed and pulled the covers over her.


    Hey down no more than two inches away from her.


    It was the first time that they had shared a bed and been so close together after four years.

    Joanne''s heart was beating violently, and her body was so tense that she wanted to curl herself up and


    be invisible.


    Edwin did not give her a hard time. Once hey down, his breathing quickly became even, and he


    didn''t make a bit of noise.


    On the contrary, Joanne tossed and turned, unable to sleep.


    She was really not used to having a man next to her.


    After a while, the dark bedroom waspletely silent. Joanne quietly got up from the bed, took a small


    pillow, tiptoed to the sofa, andy down.


    Although it was not as spacious as the big bed, she felt veryfortable sleeping alone.


    She no longer had to be afraid of having nightmares about Edwin trying to strangle her.


    Unbeknownst to Joanne, after she fell asleep, Edwin suddenly opened his sharp eyes and stared


    straight at her.


    He thought, ''You''re not even willing to share a bed with me.


    ''Joanne, what do you want me to do?''


    When Joanne opened her eyes the next morning, she found herself lying in an unfamiliar bed.


    It took her a few minutes to realize she had remarried Edwin.


    Yet she slept on the sofast night. Joanne wondered why she was back in bed.


    Looking around, she didn''t see Edwin.


    She quickly washed up and folded the covers. She smelled the fragrance of food when she left the


    bedroom.


    The penthouse at East Imperial was about 360 square yards, far smaller than the Atherton family''s Old


    House and Shoal Vi. The smell of food lingered in the penthouse. Joanne followed it to the dining


    room and saw Edwin bathed in the warm golden sunlight.


    Facing the window, several maids from nowhere were putting the dishes on the table.


    Edwin''s suit was straight, and his muscles were well- defined. Without thenguor fromst night when


    he was naked, he looked cold.


    "Good morning, Mrs. Atherton." Jadyn Baird, the head maid, and the young maids behind her bowed in


    unison.


    Joanne had not been called Mrs. Atherton by servants for a long time. She raised her eyebrows. "Just


    call me Jo. Good morning, everyone."


    Jadyn subconsciously looked at Edwin and said respectfully, "Since you remarried Mr. Atherton, we


    should call you Mrs. Atherton. We can''t break the rules. We don''t know what kind of breakfast you like,


    so we''ve prepared several kinds. Tell us which you like, and well prepare it for you in the future."
