Chapter 424 Joanna's Fears



"Sorry, Anna but I am in the middle of something important. Let\'s hope we will be able to talk after classes tomorrow," Joanna read Audrey\'s message out aloud.

"Don\'t think that your apology will save you from getting an earful from me. I will make you go through the same thing I always went through in your hands for putting me through such emotional turmoil for days," Joanna spoke while gazing at her cell phone screen.

She dropped the cell phone and moved to the bathroom to shower.

While Joanna showered, Amos tried to make Anthony fall asleep since it was far past his bedtime.

When Joanna went to join the guys in the sitting room she was surprised to see Anthony sleeping on Amos\' legs.

"You didn\'t have to let him sleep on your legs. You could have let him sleep on the couch. And the other room is empty...,"

"I am not feeling uncomfortable in any way. Besides, I am not complaining, am I?" Amos smiled at the concerned lady.

Joanna strolled to the couch and squatted beside him.

"You do all manner of crazy things after leaving the palace walls. One would believe I am the one who made you do all these things not knowing that I am innocent...,"

"You might not have asked me to do it but you are indeed partly responsible for it...,"

"And how am I responsible for that?" Joanna asked with her lips slightly parted.

"I only knew how to love one person in this world. I wasn\'t sure I loved myself in the past but spending this one month with you has taught me to love myself and other people more...," He trailed. He lifted his hand and patted Anthony\'s hair.

"And one of those people I have grown to love is none other than your sweet little man," Amos smiled and caressed the sleeping Anthony\'s cheek.

"Everyone keeps complimenting and praising me today, I wonder what I did special to deserve all the praise," Joanna grinned. She stood up and tried to carry Anthony but Amos refused to loosen his grip on him.

"Did someone other than me praise you today?" Amos asked, his curious eyes not moving from her smiling face.

"Who was it?"

​ As he stared at her Joanna could sense jealousy all over him.

[I guess he must assume that the one who praised me is a guy, that is why he can\'t suppress his jealousy. His possessiveness might become the death of me if he doesn\'t take care of it soon]

Joanna smirked and let go of Anthony\'s hands she held onto.

"You don\'t have to know who he is...,"

"But....,"

"Increase your pitch just a little more and you are gonna wake the little troublemaker up," Joanna said and pointed her hand at the boy who almost fell off his legs.

"I will leave him to you the entire night if he wakes up because of you," Joanna beamed and left the sitting room.

While Amos spent time in the sitting room trying to guess who praised her apart from him, Joanna arranged the bed and lay down.

When he finally moved to the bedroom with Anthony on his body, he met Joanna lying on the left-hand side of the bed.

"Let\'s go to bed now since we will have to wake up early and get him prepared for school," Joanna said and tapped the space beside her where Anthony was supposed to lay.

Although Audrey\'s bed wasn\'t as enormous as that of Amos it was enough to fit the three of them.

Amos gently dropped Anthony on the bed. He and Joanna coaxed him back to sleep when they saw that he was about to wake from sleep.

"We will continue from where we stopped, don\'t forget that," He mumbled and laid down on the little space meant for him.

Although at the palace he normally slept on a bed twice the size of Audrey\'s bed, he still preferred the small size bed to his magnificent King size bed at the palace.

At least here he had two lovely people laid by his side and he took a lot of delight in the warmth he was feeling, unlike the magnificent King size bed where he feels sad and lonely every night.

[I have never liked the palace since the one I loved resided outside the palace but why do I have this feeling that I will grow to loathe the place, even more, when I return this time around]

Amos was in deep thought as he stared at the faces of the figures he shared the bed with.

[There is no need to think about what hasn\'t happened Kayden. But let\'s focus more on the present. Let\'s try to make the best out of the days you have to live as the carefree student called Amos]

He smiled and stretched his hand to touch Joanna\'s face. He was forced to retract his hand when Anthony changed his sleeping position.

Amos stared at her beautiful face for a long time before he finally closed his eyes.

Some minutes after he closed his eyes Joanna\'s eyes fluttered open.

He had assumed she was sleeping and didn\'t notice that she was pretending.

Without making a sound she turned over and lay at her side so that she could get a perfect view of his face.

[He is still with me but why do I already miss him?... How will I be able to live normally again when he returns to the palace?]

Joanna couldn\'t stop her mind from thinking about the things that hadn\'t happened yet.

She knows Kayden loves her a whole lot. He has spent five years of his life proving that fact to her so how could she ever doubt him?

Yes, she was aware of how deep his feelings runs but she was scared also.

She was scared of the uncertainty, the sly ministers, the power-hungry Queen Mother and the people of the Kingdom.

HAPPY END OF THE MONTH!!! HAPPY LAST DAY OF FEBRUARY

First of all guys, I want to say I wasn\'t impressed by our performances at all for this month.

Unlike last month where the monthly missions were accomplished every week, there was no week that you guys reached these goals this month and that was precisely why there were no mass releases also.

I was very optimistic about February but my hopes got crushed this month.

I wish you guys will do better next month which is actually my birthday month.

I want a huge gift for my birthday and I am expecting huge gifts including surprises from every single one of you. Are you guys on this with me? (...*coughs... Raise your hands please ✋, lmao)

Yes, I have relayed how bad I felt and now it\'s time to say my thanks.

I want to say a big thank you to all those who supported the book this month notwithstanding the turnout of events.

Thank you so much, I will forever remain grateful to every single one of you.

I love you ❤️❤️❤️

And I honestly look forward to improvement in March 2023.
