Chapter 822
Joanne hurriedly grabbed a box of tissues and tilted Edwin's head with one hand while wiping the blood with her free
hand. “The blood will flow backward if the head is raised too high during a nosebleed, and it'll be bad if the trachea is
blocked..."
Edwin finally knew why Joanne had the full support of Monique Entertainment; it was her fresh face and perfect body. He
had seen countless pretty women, but he was never so aroused by any woman that his nose bled.
'I must've drank too much.'
Joanne was too anxious when she got off the couch that she slipped. Her body slanted to the side as she fell backward
toward the coffee table.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlarmed, Edwin quickly pulled her back, and her thin body slammed into his chest by the pull.
On the couch, Edwin put one arm around Joanne's waist while she stared blankly at the enlarged version of the
handsome face.
The living room was quiet, save only their irregular heartbeats.
Edwin suddenly lowered his head, intending to seize her lips.
Joanne was on pins and needles as her eyes widened. Her head subconsciously moved back half a few centimeters
while Edwin approached, thus only allowing Edwin's lips to lightly graze hers.
Edwin felt a little unsatisfied and wanted to continue the kiss, but Joanne pulled back from him. Patting her chest,
she said, “Thank you so much. I would've fallen if it weren't for you."
“I'm relying on you to take good care of me and the house in the future, dear wife. Please don't let my backyard
catch fire."
Edwin, of course, was being sarcastic, but poor Joanne failed to realize his growing anger as she nodded. "But of
course! Those reporters always care about whether or not I've learned a new skill. Now, I urgently need to study
extensively and focus on improving..."
'Does this silly woman not see I'm irked right now?'
Joanne then stopped and gave Edwin a somewhat stern look. "Wait, didn't we agree on keeping our marriage
secret? And what about the part that you won't embarrass me by dating other women while we're together?
Besides, why would I care about your chicks out there? I'm not even being serious in our marriage."
Edwin gritted his teeth. "You should sleep now."
The Atherton family held a family reunion banquet for Quinn at Century Hotel. A professional makeup and styling
team came to Atherton Manor to do makeup for Quinn before the sun rose.

Quinn had stayed up all night due to her excitement. She was told that a lot of media reporters were also invited to do a
broadcast live in the hotel that day.
If everything went well at the reunion banquet, she would become the one- and-only daughter of Miss Atherton of the
Atherton family.
She gently caressed her lower abdomen where the baby of hers and
Cedrick's resided, knowing that Cedrick would marry her one day and that she would become Missus Mason in the future
with Elder Mason's support.
Staring at her bedazzled self in the mirror, Quinn raised her chin arrogantly as her eyes gleamed proudly-
Knock, knock!
There were knocks heard on the door.
