Chapter 588 Her Birthday Was Fake
"No one knew my real birth date except my biological mother. My father picked a random date as my birthday because he never wanted to bring more shame to his name when people learn that he didn\'t know his daughter\'s birthday," Joanna replied in a casual tone as if this was a normal topic.
"How and when did you learn about this? Also, why didn\'t you tell me about it?" Audrey demanded angrily.
"I wasn\'t aware of this fact from the beginning. Madam Cora blurted out the truth in anger two years ago when Little Rice Ball insisted that his mother throw a party for me on my sixteenth birthday," Joanna started in a meek tone.
"Since I never really thought of my birthday as anything special, learning the truth never bothered me. I knew telling you would not change the fact that my birthday was fake but would upset you instead that was why I didn\'t disclose the truth," Joanna explained in a sad tone. Even though she wanted to keep on being mad Audrey couldn\'t when she saw the sadness in Joanna\'s eyes.
"I was already a poor and pitiful girl, I didn\'t want to look even more miserable that was why I concealed the truth from you," Joanna confessed. By this time she wasn\'t able to hide her sadness anymore.
"Hey Girl, I am not even scolding you so why are you punishing me this way?" Audrey grumbled and quickly wrapped her hands around Joanna in an embrace.
"Rachel\'s grandma disclosed my real birth date to me when she overheard us talking about my eighteenth birthday back then..." Audrey abruptly pulled out of Joanna\'s embrace before she could finish her sentence.
"You knew about that since then and you didn\'t tell me..."
"I swear I wanted to reveal the truth too, however, I ended up concealing it when I saw how happy you and Little Rice Ball were. I had wanted to tell you the truth some other day but you already know the tragedy that befell me on my eighteenth birthday," Joanna explained as calmly as she could.
"After the night I was pushed to my death I completely forgot that such a secret existed. Drey, you don\'t know how shocked and happy I was when I received Kayden\'s surprise birthday gift?" Joanna said and subconsciously guided her hands to her chest.
"I was happy that in this world where I was never wanted at least there was someone who knew and remembered my actual birth date," Joanna muttered, her hands clutching her excited heart.
"He merely remembered your birthday and gave you a gift and you have already made my years of affection and support look like a joke. Tell me, should I be worried now that you have gotten married to him without inviting me?" Audrey said and stood up from the couch.
"Of course not," Joanna blurted and jerked to her feet.
"For years you have always been there for me. You loved and supported me in a way even a biological big sister wouldn\'t have. I saw and felt your sincerity every day, so how could your care towards me be a joke?" Joanna cooed at her when she noticed that Audrey was jealous of Kayden.
"Let go of me. I know you are only saying that so I won\'t get mad at you," Audrey said and brushed Joanna\'s hands off her body.
"Also, if none knew your real birthday except Grandma Andy and your mother then how did Kayden guess that today was your birthday?" Audrey demanded. She turned and shot Joanna a suspicious look.
"Believe me, I never let the truth slip either intentionally or by mistake," Joanna vouched, her hand on her chest.
"I was so overwhelmed by happiness that I didn\'t remember to ask him how he discovered that my real birthday was today," Joanna added in a meek tone.
"No wonder he easily bribed you into signing the marriage certificate. He even went as far as claiming your virginity..."
"I was the one who asked him to have sex with me and he did nothing wrong by agreeing to what I want because he is my husband now," Joanna said with a hint of pride.
"You are even defending him," Audrey grumbled and moved to sit on the couch.
Joanna strolled and paused in front of Audrey. She squatted and held Audrey\'s hands on the couch.
"Actually, I wasn\'t defending him. What I said was the truth. Even before I found out that I was in love with him, I have always wanted to have sex with him..." Joanna started in a meek tone.
"As crazy as it sounds, I was ready to give him my chastity without plans of getting together with him. He was the first guy that ever made me feel like a woman. His teases were insane and heart fluttering," Joanna muttered. She couldn\'t resist smiling when memories of the past flashed before her eyes.
"Yes, I willingly offered him free sex back then but he rejected my offer every time despite that he was madly in love with me. He did the same thing again today..."
"I guess he is the only man out there that will reject free sex especially when it came from the lady you are head over heels for," Audrey mumbled, not sounding furious again.
"Others would have hopped at such an opportunity but he proved to be different and unique. Losing him to another woman in this lifetime would have been my greatest loss and I am happy I realised how I felt about him at the perfect time," Joanna agreed as she caressed the golden necklace around her neck.
"The necklace looks perfect on you. This is my first time seeing that. He must have given that to you right?" Audrey guessed after she caught Joanna caressing the necklace as if it were her precious baby.
