Chapter 1229: 1208

Seems like, was she overthinking? Joanna Ramsey also likes Richard Shaw...

Thinking this way, she felt a bit more relieved.

Seeing Joanna Ramsey’s warm smile, Bella Green somehow thought of Victor Bennett.

The boy who spends his days in drunkenness and haze.

She zoned out for a moment, glanced at Joanna Ramsey, but didn’t mention Victor Bennett.

Some people are destined to never be together...

...

After having a meal with Joanna Ramsey, Richard Shaw was quite attentive toward her at the table.

This man truly likes Joanna Ramsey...

Mason Bennett arrived at the agreed time to pick her up and bid farewell to Joanna Ramsey, saying he would leave Kyoto tomorrow, then left.

In the private room, the two didn’t hurry to leave.

Due to the pregnancy, although Joanna Ramsey was slim, her appetite was quite large.

Richard Shaw kept serving her food.

He knew exactly what Joanna Ramsey liked to eat.

Joanna Ramsey looked at the dish almost placed in her bowl and quietly moved it away.

"I can do it myself."

The distant and cold demeanor was nowhere near the casual ease she had earlier in front of Bella Green.

Richard Shaw maintained the action of extending the chopsticks, but did not retract them, looking at Joanna Ramsey with a calm gaze for a while, then took back the chopsticks, eating by himself.

For the rest of the time, the two quietly ate without saying another word.

"Want some fruit?" Richard Shaw asked.

Though the tone remained cool and indifferent, he was exceptionally thorough concerning Joanna Ramsey’s needs.

Joanna Ramsey put down her chopsticks with a cold face, "You enjoy taking care of someone else’s kid so much?"

Richard Shaw’s expression remained unchanged, but the turmoil brewed in his eyes, like a dark deep sea, making one feel fearful and anxious.

"If you don’t want fruit, let’s go back."

Joanna Ramsey clenched her fists, her voice that was once sweet now filled with malice, "Richard Shaw, do you really plan to raise someone else’s son?"

"Joanna, we agreed not to bring this up. Don’t force me to take him away, be good."

Richard Shaw’s rare tenderness was chilling to Joanna Ramsey.

Instinctively, she covered her belly, physically withdrawing, maintaining a defensive posture, watching Richard Shaw with alert and fear.

A fear from the depths of her heart made her feel cold all over.

No matter how much she resents him, the deepest fear of him in her heart has never faded.

He said he would take her child away, and he definitely would...

Joanna Ramsey’s eyes reddened, like a trapped beast unable to escape, helpless and lost.

"You’re nothing but a lunatic!"

Madman...

Richard Shaw saw the fear and rejection in the girl’s eyes, his heart felt like it was gripped tightly, causing his breathing to slow.

The man tightly pressed his lips, face tense, yet still diligently controlling his breath, afraid of scaring the girl like a phantom.

"Allowing you to keep this child is my greatest concession. Don’t make a fuss, please?"

Richard Shaw took a napkin and wiped Joanna Ramsey’s mouth corner.

Joanna Ramsey remained stiff, not daring to move, only her hands tightly guarding her belly.

Inside, was an icy coldness, so cold she could see no hope...

...

Bella Green, however, knew nothing about this and would be returning to Brocade City with Mason Bennett tomorrow.

On the crew’s side, she had contacted Matthew Timberlake last night; they’ve been shooting other parts during this period.

Once she returns, she must quickly rejoin the crew.

However, she hasn’t told Louis Lawrence about this.

Since last night till now, she hasn’t seen any trace of Louis Lawrence.
