Chapter 274
Bonnie could clearly feel Joanna's fear and tremor. What happened? Why was Joanna so afraid of Charles?
A flash of sadness crept into Charles's square face. "What's the matter, Joanna? Are you still blaming uncle? I was careless last time and caused you an accident, so I bring you a present today."
Then Charles took out a whole box of Dog Lego blocks behind him, "Do you like it?" Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Aliyah said, "Say thank you, Joanna?"
Joanna loved the present, and since Aliyah had put her words, she ran over to get the blocks after a moment of hesitation. She said in a gruff voice, "Thank you, Uncle."
"Good girl," Charles nodded with satisfaction.
The kids were playing with blocks on the tatami while the adults were sitting at the table to eat. Charles addressed a 'speech' before eating.
He looked at Sebastian with an apologetic smile on his face. "Sebastian, I'm sorry for my negligence last time. I wanted to take Joanna out to play, but I didn't expect the boat would sink..."
Bonnie's head was thrumming in sudden shock. What? When did Joanna drown in the boat?
Before she asked, Sebastian placed his palm on her hand to cool her down and replied with a low and hoarse voice. "Anyway, Joanna brought a life jacket. Nothing happened, right?"
Charles nodded, "Yes. Glad that she brought a life jacket. I was such a stupid not to check before boarding and let her do all the things."
Charles slapped himself twice as he genuinely confessed.
"Charles, what are you doing?" Aliyah stopped him, "It's an accident."
Charles's eyes were red, darting around in thought, and then he sat down.
Bonnie frowned confusedly upon Charles's apology. No matter how big the mistakes Charles had made, Aliyah must wipe his shit and take care of them. But now, he offered a sincere apology? Would the rise in the west? It was just hard to believe that.
Five years could change a lot of things.
The meal lasted an hour. Bonnie was quite nervous at first, for fear that Aliyah was going to give her a hard time, and was relieved till she realized that it was just Charles's "trail".
When Bonnie turned to leave, Aliyah stopped her. "Annie, don't forget your study at the old house if you are free on the weekend."
"Okay." Bonnie agreed. Anyway, she planned to finish the logo this Friday. There was a lot of time for her to search the old house for Natan.
When Bonnie was heading out, she realized that the two girls had disappeared.
"Perhaps they went to the bathroom," Lukas recalled.
Before Bonnie moved, Charles actively offered, "I'll go."
Then he rushed toward the bathroom.
Charles saw a familiar figure standing at the door of the bathroom with Lego in her hands.
"Joanna, I'm here to take you... fuck, you ugly!"
