1103 Words
"You don't need to explain. I'm not blind and also not deaf!" Joyce said coldly. She crossed over Eden and came to Daniel's side.
"Wife ..." Daniel said with a resigned face.
Joyce's hand that landed on his shoulder stiffened. She was surprised by how he addressed her, "Who taught you to call that?"
"My Grandma. "Daniel whispered.
Joyce was somehow embarrassed. She was thinking about how to change the way he called her.
Daniel said pitifully, "He said many words I couldn't understand. He said I was ugly. Wife, do you hate me?"
Looking at his bright eyes like a poor puppy, Joyce could not help but reach out and rub his head, "Hey, don't be sad. He is all nonsense! He said those things because he was jealous of you. "
Daniel's head tilted slightly, allowing Joyce's palm to fall on his face. He said in a daze, "You mean he's ugly?"
"He's not just ugly. He is mean and stupid." Joyce squeezed his face, "Don't mind what he says. You are so much better than him."
Eden clenched her fists in anger. He was about to get a heart attack!
Why did she hate him so much? Every time she looked at him with a disgusted expression. But why was she so gentle with that fool! She even touched his head! What's more outrageous is that she scolded him together with that fool.
Eden couldn't think of a reason for her to do that. He thought Joyce must be using this method to get his attention.
"Joyce!" Eden gritted his teeth in anger. As if he thought of something, he angrily pointed at Daniel, "He is cheating you! He was the one who kept provoking me before! I lost control because of him!"
Joyce gave him a disgusted look, "Eden, you scum! It's already ridiculous to insult Daniel with such vicious words. And now you dare to blame him? He is gentle. How could he possibly provoke you? "
Joyce continued, "You bully him because he is alone. If he is now with his family, I'm afraid you have already kneeled to apologize, right? "
"Joyce, It's him! He's been bullying the brother. We all saw it!" A child on the side said. They were all angry at him.
Joyce's scolding made Eden angry. Eden was in a trance. How did he think Daniel provoked him? He realized that the words he said were ridiculous. But in that situation just now, he blurted out those words.
Eden seemed to have thought of something. He then laughed.
The crowd all looked at him weirdly. They didn't know what was going on with Eden. He was angry just now. Why was he suddenly laughing so happily? This guy acted like a fool.
He rubbed his hair and struck a pose he thought was handsome. "Joyce, you are so warm! You must worry that I will offend the Stowes. I knew you were trying to protect me!"
"Fuck..." Joyce squeezed this word out of her teeth. Her fists clenched and cackled. How can this p*****t be so self-absorbed? She was disgusted by him.
"Joyce, there are too many people here. It's not a good place to talk. Let's find a private place. I have so much to say." Eden showed a smile that he thought was charming.
"Sure!" Joyce squeezed out a smile.
Joyce wanted to punch Eden when she saw him bullying Daniel. She didn't do it because she was worried about affecting the children. She didn't want them to see a violent scene.
Eden has taken the initiative to give her such an 'opportunity.' It was an excellent opportunity for her to teach him a lesson.
Daniel sorrowfully tugged on her sleeve. Joyce gently patted his hand and whispered, "Don't worry." Then Joyce took Eden to the backyard.
The backyard of the orphanage was a vegetable patch. Aunt Doyle had planted many vegetables in this patch to save the orphanage's expenses.
They stood near the vegetable patch. Joyce squeezed her fingers together and clucked them. She turned around and was about to beat Eden up. She suddenly saw a person hiding behind the wall. The person was Elsa.
Joyce was confused. She was not surprised that Elsa followed Steven to the orphanage. But Elsa didn't seem to come with Eden.
Joyce thought for a moment, and she decided not to beat up Eden. She had a new plan.
"What do you want to say?" Joyce asked.
"Joyce, I've seen all your efforts. Eden looked at her with affection. "You surprised me. I used to think of you as my sister. I now realize that I have already crushed you. You are the only one I love..."
"You love me? Isn't Elsa the one you love?" Joyce raised her voice. Elsa, who was hiding behind the wall, moved slightly.
Eden answered. "No. I was with her because of the need for a family union. I've been waiting for you to grow up. I was afraid that you were not really in love with me before and would leave me when you grew up. "
He paused and then continued, "Promise me that you will not be an actor, okay? The entertainment circles are messy, and I'm afraid you'll get hurt. If you like acting, you can act for me alone. With me, I will prepare a lot of various costumes for you ..."
Disgusting! Foolish! He's a total scumbag!
Joyce couldn't help but clench her fists. Eden looked at her with an erotic gaze. She guessed what nasty things he was thinking.
Taking a deep breath, Joyce resisted the urge to punch him and asked, "How about Elsa? Will you leave her?"
"I will discuss it with her." Eden looked sullen. "But Joyce, our family's interests are so deeply entwined. I can't go public with your relationship now. Give me some time, okay?"
Joyce forced herself not to swear. This scum wanted to two-time her.
Seeing that Eden raised his arm and wanted to hold her hand, Joyce stepped back, "No, I can't promise you."
Eden took a step forward to approach her, "Joyce, I know what you are worried about. You don't have to worry about the Stowes. That fool was abandoned by them long ago. He won't get in our way. I know you've been worried about the orphanage. I can help you solve the orphanage's troubles if you be with me!"
"You?" Joyce looked at him in amazement.
"Yes, I can help them find a space available for rent. They don't have to worry about being homeless." Eden explained.
