Chapter 1471


    Chapter 1471 A Slight Unease


    Genevieve smiled, affectionately draping her arm around Johanna''s shoulder. “Amanda and the boy


    are about seven years old now. I was thinking, once I finish my busy work, I''ll be fine with going on a


    bted honeymoon with Mando. But since I have a talented designer by my side, I can''t not make use


    of you... Jojo, could you help me design a wedding dress?”


    As she spoke, she unlocked her phone and pulled up a picture of a cor from her gallery.


    Johanna bent down to examine the photo closely, “Is this a medieval cor? It''s so exquisite.”


    “I suppose so.” It was something Armand had bought at a high price several years ago. Genevieve had


    worn it once to appease him, but since then, it had been kept in the jewelry cab.


    Genevieve asked, “Is it difficult to design a wedding dress that matches this cor?”


    “It''s not difficult.”


    Designing clothes is something Johanna is interested in, and she is extremely talented at it.


    Johanna pulled out a sketchbook from her bag, and in just five minutes, shepleted a quick draft of


    an armi.


    Although the wedding dress in the drawing book was colorless, Genevieve swept her eyes over it and


    found it to be exquisitely detailed. She could even imagine how beautiful it would look when worn.


    Genevieve looked at the draft and remarked to Johanna, “If I hadn''t been sitting next to you all this


    time, I wouldn''t believe you drew this in just five minutes.”


    “Sketching is a fundamental skill for a designer,” Johanna said with a small smile. “Do you like this


    set?”


    “I love it so much that I wish I could wear it tomorrow.”


    Johanna closed the sketchbook. “Designing clothes is easy, but the tailoring process that follows is


    quite troublesome. Also, the skirt is too in. I''ll have to refine the wedding dress in a few days.”


    “It will take at least a year for the finished wedding dress to be ready,” she added. “And that''s only if I''m


    solely focused on this task.”


    “No worries. I''ll be busy with work for the next couple of years anyway,” said Genevieve nonchntly.


    “Whenever the wedding dress is ready, that''s when I''ll have the bted wedding ceremony with


    Mando.”


    Just as lunch was ready, Genevieve and Johanna finished their chat.


    Genevieve went into the kitchen to help serve the dishes. Armand looked at her, and when he noticed


    that she was all smiles, he couldn''t help but smile too. “What did you talk about with your friend that


    made you so happy?”


    “You want to know?” Genevieve beckoned the man with a flick of her finger.


    As the man leaned over, Genevieve kissed him softly on his thin lips, and with a mischievous smile,


    she said, “I''m not telling you.”


    After kissing him, she turned around and left.


    Asel spent the whole day ying with her older friends in Swallow Garden. By six or seven in the


    evening, her excitement finally wore off, and she fell asleep from exhaustion before even getting home.


    After arriving home, Timothy carried the girl to the children''s room.


    He wanted to find an excuse to have Johanna stay the night, but Johanna, having spent every day at


    home with Asel, knew that the girl would probably sleep until the next morning.


    Johanna picked up the coat from the couch. “Rest. I''ll go and hail a cab on the street.”


    “Everyone''s off during the new year holidays. Moreover, we''re in a residential area. It''ll be hard to hail a


    cab here.” Realizing that he couldn''t keep Johanna around, Timothy had no choice but to take his car


    keys and send her home.


    Roughly fifteen minutester, the car arrived at the north entrance of Maple Forest''s residential area.

    Johanna had just unbuckled her seatbelt when Timothy got out of the car and walked around to the


    passenger side. He opened the car door for her, and Johanna bent over to climb out.


    “Thank you,” Johanna said, “Take care on your way home.”


    Upon hearing her gentle and calm tone, Timothy felt a sense of unease welling up in his heart. He


    lowered his gaze to look at Johanna, wanting to reach out andb her hair. But Johanna had already


    turned and walked away.


    Only after Johanna entered the residential area and her slender figurepletely disappeared from


    sight, did Timothy turn around and get into the car.


    Timothy was worried that Johanna might not be ustomed to living alone or that past events may


    have left her with deep trauma, affecting her mental health.


    So, for the past few days, he would always have Asel call Johanna. In the afternoon, he would pick


    Johanna up to send her home, y and eat with Asel, and only send Johanna back home after Asel


    was asleep.


    Some time passed, and he noticed that Johanna seemed very mentally stable. It was as though she


    was untroubled by what happened—as if she had grown ustomed to living alone.


    Seeing Johanna adapt so quickly to the new life and no longer have a need for him, Timothy felt


    somewhat distressed.
