A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 416

After returning from the amusement park, Joanna declined the request of Cedric to accompany Kerr back to the ward.

She went back to Lester's house. In the evening, Lester cooked dinner and asked Joanna to come out to eat. Joanna stared at the food in a daze, but she did not say a word.

Seeing Joanna like this, Lester's face darkened.

"Are you thinking about Cedric?" Lester asked tentatively. Then the chopsticks in Joanna's hand fell on the table.

Looking at the chopsticks on the table, Lester felt a little sad in his heart.

He lowered his head, put down the bowl and was about to leave the dinning room dejectedly.

Joanna knew what Lester was thinking about. She grabbed his hand with pleading eyes.

"Trista, there's one thing that I've been hiding from you. I'm sorry." Lester could not cheat himself anymore.

He couldn't be so selfish.

Seeing that Kerr missed his mother so much, he felt that he was so selfish to keep Joanna by his side.

Joanna looked at Lester in a daze and did not speak.

Lester held Joanna's hand and sat on the sofa. He said in a gentle and horse vouce.

"I have already investigated about that. Cedric's wife, Joanna, was pushed down from the Phoenix Mountain five years ago. I saved you there at that time. I also saw Joanna's photo. She looks exactly the same as you. You should go home."

"I... like you very much, but I can't be so selfish. You should go back to your own home. As long as you are happy, I'm happy."

Hearing this, Joanna was not shocked.

In fact, Joanna had already known something when spending the past few days with Cedric and Kerr. She knew that she might really be Cedric's wife, but she didn't want to think about it.

"Trista, no... I should call you Joanna. Go home. I'll take you back later." Lester held Joanna's hand and said to her gently.

Joanna's eyes were filled with tears when she heard Lester's words. She grabbed Lester's hand and looked at him firmly.

"Don't you want to go back?" Lester, who had been with Joanna for so long, could understand the emotions in her eyes. Joanna was telling him that she didn't want to go back to Cedric and her own child.

Joanna bit her lip and looked at Lester as she wrote in his palm, "I want to be with you."

Cedric would take care of Kerr and find a good mother for him.

But she was all Lester had. She had lost her memories, so she did not know how to get along with Cedric.

The one that Cedric liked was the woman who she used to be, not who she was at the moment.

She was a disfigured mute. She thought that she didn't deserve Cedric.

"Joanna... Are you sure? You should... go home." Lester looked at Joanna and said with tears in his eyes.

He was surprised that Joanna would make such a decision.

He clenched his fists and looked at Joanna with helplessness and sadness in his eyes.

He wanted Joanna to accompany him, but he couldn't be so selfish.

But Joanna grabbed his arm so stubbornly and took the initiative to hug Lester, as if she was comforting Lester.

"You don't want to go back and you want to be with me?" Lester's fingers were trembling. He thought that after telling Joanna the truth, Joanna would leave him immediately, but... Joanna didn't. She wanted to be with him.

Joanna held Lester's hand and looked at him stubbornly.

"Joanna, I will be good to you, and I will try my best to make money to let you live a good life." Lester's body was trembling. He circled around in the house with Joanna in his arms.

Joanna looked at Lester happily and smiled.

Under the faint light, her smile looked so beautiful. They hugged each other and cast two happy shadows over the window.

But they didn't know that Cedric, who was dressed in black, was standing at the door and looking at them with sad eyes.

Originally, he came to see Joanna, but he overheard what Lester said. Lester told everything to Joanna, but Joanna didn't want to go back to the Xis.

She said that if she wanted to be with Lester and she liked to be with Lester.

"Joanna." Cedric slowly squatted down and covered his stomach with his hands. His face looked so desperate.

The light of the street lamp fell on his face, which made him look even more fragile.

After a long time, a black shadow walked to Cedric. Looking at Cedric who was in pain, Nacho squatted down and said blandly, "Cedric, let's go home."

"She wants to be with Lester." Cedric raised his head and looked at Nacho with tears in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Nacho's eyes were filled with sadness and sympathy.

"This is her choice, as long as she is happy."
