Chapter 514
Hearing Zachary’s panicked tone, Joanna became even more worried. “Where did Roxy go? Tell me.”
Zachary had a guilty conscience, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead. “She… She seems to have haven’t seen her for the past few days.”
gone abroad. I
“Go abroad?”
That’s right. You should also know about the movie… Rox might have gone overseas to relax because of it. Zachary didn’t know how to prevent Joanna from suspecting him, and he could only fake a random excuse first.
Joanna’s eyes darkened. She felt that Zachary’s words made some sense.
Roxanne had encountered that kind of misfortune. It was normal for her to go overseas to relax.
“Alright, I understand.”
After hanging up the phone, Joanna was still a little uneasy.
If Roxanne planned to go abroad, she would have told Derick about it. But she didn’t.
“Did something happen to Roxy?”
Joanna muttered to herself and called Roxanne a few more times. However, Roxanne’s phone was switched off as before.
If something happened to Roxanne, Zachary would definitely be involved.
Joanna was holding the phone and lost in thought when Andy knocked on the door and entered.
“Miss Haynes.
“What’s the matter, Andy?” Joanna looked at Andy suspiciously.
“It’s six o’clock in the afternoon. It’s time to get off work.
“Uh?” Joanna lowered her head and looked at her watch. It was really time to get off work.
Every day at six PM, Andy would remind her to get off work.
Even if Joanna wanted to work overtime, Andy would use all kinds of reasons to persuade her.
“Alright.” Joanna shut off the computer, took the unfinished documents, and prepared to go home.
The work was important, but taking care of the children was more important.
Now that Bruce was in detention, Joanna had to take good care of the children.
She went back to Sherane Bay Villa.
“Mommy, you are finally off work.”
“Yes. Have you had a nice day today?”
Irvin held a plate of spaghetti and looked at Joanna with concern. “I made spaghetti for you. It is still steaming.
“You cook today?”
“Yes. Mommy, try it and see if it is tasty.”
“Good boy. Who taught you about it?”
“I learned it from you. Daddy loves to eat the spaghetti you made. I want to make it for Daddy, too.
“Since Daddy isn’t around, I’ll cook for you.”
When Joanna heard that, her eyes could not help but turn a little wet. “Davian, Irvin, thank you.”
“Daddy said that we’re men. We have to protect the girls and take good care of them!
“Daddy isn’t at home. Irvin and I are naturally responsible for looking after Mommy and Lilia.”
Joanna blinked and was so touched that tears welled up in her eyes. She hugged Davian and Irvin tightly in her arms.
“Mommy, don’t cry. We’ll protect you on Daddy’s behalf.”
“Thank you. With your protection, I’m the happiest woman in the world.
“Where is Lilia?”
Chapter 514
“Lilia is painting. Christmas is coming. Lilia said she wants to make a Christmas gift for Daddy.”
“I’d like to see her.”
Joanna got up and went to Lilia’s room.
In the children’s room, Lilia sat in a wheelchair with a small table in front of her.
There were various brushes and drawing papers on it.
“Lilia, what are you doing?” Joanna walked in and asked gently.
Lilia did not even raise her head. She held her paintbrush and was drawing seriously. “Mommy, I’ll draw another family photo.”
“Is that so?” Joanna walked over and took a look.
Lilia drew a picture of five cartoon characters.
Two adults, two little boys, and a little girl were included. Needless to say, it was their family of five.
Although the strokes were crooked, Joanna could tell that Lilia had put much effort into the drawing. The colors Lilia chose were also vibrant.
The family of five snuggled together, and the scene looked warm and cozy.
“Oh, it’s so beautiful.
“Mommy, I want to give this painting to Daddy.”
Joanna was stunned.
Bruce was still in detention, and his family members were not allowed to visit him at the moment.
Lilia looked at Joanna and begged, “Mommy, can you help me send it to Daddy?
“If Daddy can’t see us, he must miss us very much. With this painting, if Daddy misses us, he may feel better.
“Is it okay, Mommy?”
