Chapter 1498
Joanne didn't say anything else. She pulled out a chair and sat down at the table.
Seeing the bland look on Joanne's face, Edwin showed an upset look in his eyes. He too got seated gracefully across
from her.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
Joanne rubbed her neck and replied, "Yes. Did you carry me to bed?"
Edwin lifted his cup of milk. He unconsciously gripped the cup tighter.
"Isn't the bed big enough? Why are you sleeping on the couch?"
Joanne didn't change her face. She had already thought of an excuse. "I'm on my period. I didn't want to stain the

Jadyn overheard their conversation and wondered why Mrs. Atherton had slept on the couch last night.
When Jaydyn went to their bedroom in the morning, Joanne was lying in bed in Edwin's arms.
Jadyn smiled and said, "Mrs. Atherton, it doesn't matter if the sheet gets stained. I can get it clean. If the stain can't
be cleaned, I'll get you a new one."
Joanne was speechless. 'Rich people don't care about money.'
Edwin looked at the embarrassed look on Joanne's face and asked Jadyn to bring a bowl of soup. He handed the
soup to Joanne.
Joanne happened to want to drink some soup. She took the bowl and took a sip.
Just as she put the bowl down, Edwin asked with a teasing smile, "I thought you were deliberately staying away from
me so that I wouldn't check if you were having your period at night."
Hearing Edwin's words, Joanne spewed out the soup.
Edwin was too late to dodge and his face was spilled with soup.
Even Jadyn was spilled with the soup.
Instead of dealing with the soup on her clothes, Jadyn immediately brought a clean towel for Edwin.
Edwin's face darkened. He grabbed the towel and wiped his face.
Jadyn was worried about Joanne. 'Mr. Atherton likes elegant ladies.'
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." Joanne apologized. She was embarrassed, too.
Jadyn tried to make a joke. "Mrs. Atherton, don't rush. Mr. Atherton won't take it from you."
Joanne wiped the corner of her mouth and said, "Yes. Mr. Atherton is a generous man. You don't mind it, do you?"
Edwin was silent.
Joanne had already complimented him on being a generous man. What else could he say?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter breakfast, Edwin asked the maids to carry all Joanne's luggage from downstairs to the top floor.
The maids were surprised that Joanne had only brought a little luggage.
In the large closet in their bedroom, Edwin had already organized his clothes and left two-thirds of the space for
Joanne. He thought Joanne must have a lot of clothes and bags considering she was an actress.
Yet when the maid brought Joanne's luggage up, Edwin asked in a stern tone, "Is this all?"
Jadyn showed an embarrassed look. The clothes Joanne had brought with her did not even fill a tenth of the closet.
The closet looked quite empty.
"Mrs. Atherton didn't bring much,"Jadyn said awkwardly. Besides the clothes, she only brought five pairs of shoes
and a pair of slippers."
Edwin's face looked awful.
'How did Jack pay her?' Edwin wondered.
"Put Mrs. Atherton's clothes away. I'll take her to buy more."
Jadyn was excited. "Yes, sir."
She was happy for Edwin. 'Since the last Mrs. Atherton left, Mr. Atherton had finally fallen in love again.'
