Chapter 144
In the past month, Joanna had been most afraid of running into reporters.
Although she hid every day, she still came across reporters from time to time.
It made her look like a thief when she went out now.
“Sorry, no comment!” she said.
A media reporter quickly extended a microphone to Jaydon. “Mr. Grimm, may I ask when your movie will be released?
Besides, someone reported your media company for tax evasion. Is that true?”
Jaydon’s face darkened. He looked straight at the cameras and said, “Our company has never evaded taxes. The tax bureau is welcome to investigate at any time.”
“So when are you and Ms. Haynes getting married?” the reporter asked again.
“What do you think about the relationship between Ms. Haynes and Mr. Everett?”
“Have you always been protecting Ms. Haynes?”
The questions asked by the reporters were getting more and more harsh.
“Get out of the way! Don’t ask me such boring questions!”
Jaydon was greatly infuriated. He protected Joanna and squeezed out of the crowd.
“Mr. Grimm, Ms. Haynes, please give us some responses!”
The two of them hurried into the parking lot, got into the car, and fled.
In the car,
Joanna could not help but tease, “Hah, now we are just like street rats.” She was already used to being slandered by brain-dead people.
“Just ignore these delinquent reporters.
“Leave the public relations matters to me!” responded Jaydon.
“All right.”
“Where do you want to go now?”
“Well, I feel suffocated in Greyport.
“I want to go to the beach now,” replied Joanna.
“Alright! Let’s go to the sea then,” said Jaydon.
“Okay.”
Jaydon did not say anything else. He turned the car around and drove toward the dock.
His yacht was parked at the dock. Usually, when he had nothing to do, he would drive his yacht out to the sea for a ride.
Soon, he piloted the yacht out to sea.
Joanna stood on the deck and breathed in the sea breeze. Her depression finally dissipated a lot.
Jaydon gently hugged her from behind, and they just looked like the male and female leads of the Titanic.
“Joann, since everyone thinks that we’re together, why don’t you just be my girlfriend?” Jaydon said half seriously and half jokingly
“Jay, stop fooling around!” Joanna turned around and broke free from his embrace.
Jaydon gazed at her with affection. “Joann, do you really not have any feelings for me?”
When Joanna heard this, she could not help but feel nervous. “Jay, can you stop being like this?
“Otherwise, I really don’t know what to do.”
Seeing Joanna’s uneasy expression, Jaydon quickly took a step back and distanced himself from her.
“Joann, I’m sorry. Don’t be so nervous!”
“Jay, I’m really sorry. I…”
Seeing the change in Joanna’s expression, Jaydon stopped what he was going to do.
“I’m just joking with you. Look how nervous you are!” He suddenly changed the topic.
The biggest difference between Jaydon and Bruce was that Jaydon respected Joanna very much and cared about her feelings.
As long as she resisted, Jaydon would never force her.
Bruce, on the other hand, was totally different from Jaydon. The more Joanna resisted, the more Bruce wanted to conquer her.
“Jay, I know you’re very good to me, but I….” Joanna’s eyes were filled with panic. She wanted to say something but hesitated.
She really didn’t know what to say.
She had three children as her burden. If she rejected a man like Jaydon, it would really seem like she was being ungrateful.
However, she was well aware that she and Jaydon could never be together.
Jaydon was a play boy. Even if he married her, it was impossible for him to be faithful to her.
Besides, Joanna was an extremely insecure person. After divorcing Bruce, she completely lost her sense of security in marriage and her confidence in
men.
She did not want to be hurt by love a second time. She would rather shut love out of her mind.
“It’s alright. I won’t do such a thing again unless you take the initiative to accept me. I won’t force you anymore.”
When Joanna heard this, she did not say anything else, but just turned around and stared blankly at the blue seawater.
That night, photos of Jayden and Joanna having a meal on a date were posted online.
In the photo, Jaydon was desperately protecting Joanna. He blocked most of the shots for Joanna and even scolded the reporters.
It seemed as if he were an extremely good boyfriend.
“After Joanna failed to seduce her ex-husband, she threw herself in her old lover’s arms.”
“The contemporary scheming woman teaches you how to h o ok up with men.”
“Joanna’s two-timing. She became a laughing stock after her affair was exposed.”
“Mr. Grimm is willing to be a keyboard warrior for her and doesn’t mind Joanna’s past.”
