Chapter 1447

Joanne stifled any sound that might reach the girl's ears, biting her lower lip fiercely. Her eyes bore into Edwin like daggers, accusing him of his shamelessness.

Edwin, not wanting to see her tears or vulnerability, decided to drop the matter of the girl's identity. Swiftly, he scooped Joanne up and placed her back on the bed.

"Alright, alright, I won't fight you for the phone."

Meanwhile, far away in Mourpa, Tail pouted for getting no response from Edwin.

"Are you still there?"

"Did you lie to me?"

"Hmph!"

"Uncle Patrick... Uncle Patrick."

The sound of the little girl's footsteps echoed, followed by the creak of a door opening.

It seemed she was off to find Patrick.

Soon after, Patrick's voice, tinged with a hint of laziness, came through the receiver. "Baby, what's the matter?"

"There's a weird man who keeps asking who I am. It's so strange. Am I being tricked?" Tail cooed, handing the phone

to Patrick.

Cradling Tail in the crook of his arm, Patrick chuckled, "Let me see who is trying to scam you."

Taking the phone, Patrick laughed, "Jo? Did we disturb you?"

Edwin was about to return the phone to Joanne when he heard Patrick's voice.

"Your daughter?" Edwin's brow furrowed and his face darkened as he remembered that soft voice, "You haven't married the daughter of the Brown family. Where did your daughter come from?"

He had been persistent in asking about the relationship between the girl and Joanne because he suspected that she was Joanne's daughter.

"I'm ashamed to say that we got on the train before buying our tickets."

Naturally, Edwin wasn't inclined to trust Patrick's words easily. However, Joanne's reproachful gaze weighed on him like shackles, forcing him to relent for the time being and hand the phone back to her.

Joanne had overheard their conversation and understood that Patrick had informed Edwin that Tail was his daughter. So, she decided to play along.

"Patrick, I'm sorry. I didn't have my phone with me. That jerk took it. I hope he didn't frighten your daughter."

"No, Tail has been around. She is brave. But Edwin and you are still together at this late hour?" Patrick asked, concern lacing his voice. Even if they couldn't be together, he saw Joanne as a sister.

Joanne replied with biting sarcasm, "Just a momentary lapse. I stepped on a piece of sticky candy, and now I can't shake it off."
