A man was accompanying her.
He had seen this man before, living in a mansion not far from his parents.
He was so puzzled at the moment.
‘Why would they be together?’
“Did you find her?” Bonnie was still looking around, tugging at his sleeve with her hand.
Joshua narrowed his eyes, “Yes.”
“Where…” Before she could finish her words, she saw two people coming this way. She and Joshua
had previously gone to Thailand to see Dolores and Matthew and seemingly had seen the man beside
Amanda.
“Isn’t than man your parents’ neighbour in Thailand? How come he’s with your sister?” Bonnie frowned
slightly and guessed, “Could it be that your sister and him…”
“Impossible!” Joshua interrupted Bonnie before she could finish her words.
After all, Amanda was hurt in a relationship, and how could she start a new relationship so soon?
Bonnie looked up at him. She didn’t mean anything else but just said out what she thought of it.
Joshua looked at her. He didn’t mean to be mean to her either. He just didn’t like this speculation of
hers, “I didn’t mean it.”
“I know.” Bonnie held his arm.
When Amanda saw them, she paused for a moment before walking over quickly, “Jos, Bonnie.”
Initially, Joshua wanted to hug her, but he froze in place when she called him.
Bonnie walked over to hug her and said, “You’ve finally come back.”
Amanda’s eyes turned red suddenly, sniffling and controlling her feelings, “You are my family, of course,
I have to come back.”
“We missed you and we're worried about you, We’re all happy to see you well now.”
“Well, this is not the place to talk.” Joshua interrupted them, casting his eyes on Joan who was holding
the luggage, “Sis, aren’t you going to introduce him to us?”
He knew Joan. However, he wanted to see why Joan was with Amanda at the moment.
It dawned on Amanda that Joan had come along with her too.
Amanda didn’t hide from him and said, “Stanford went over there to look for me. So I asked Joan to
pretend my boyfriend for a while to get rid of his pestering. And we came back here together to
convince him.”
“Oh.” Joshua smiled and greeted Joan, “Welcome back.”
Joan nodded, “I heard you’re getting married. Congratulations.”
“Let’s go then.” Joshua took the suitcase from Joan, “I’ll take it.”
Joan gave it to him.
In the car, Joshua asked Bonnie to book a hotel for Joan.
Hearing this, Joan said, “No need. I’ve already booked it.”
“You’ve helped my sister and so you’re my friend and my guest too. We should be the ones to entertain
you. I’ll treat you to dinner tomorrow then.” Joshua said.
“Your sister and I are friends. No problem.”
“We still have to show you our appreciation,” Amanda said. Joshua looked at Amanda through the rear-
view mirror, raising the corner of his lips.
He knew what Amanda was thinking from the way she treated Joan.
Bonnie turned her head to look at him. It seemed that he couldn’t accept Amanda having a new
relationship.
But Amanda was still so young, and she would still need a man around her. She couldn’t just be single
for the rest of her life.
She couldn’t understand Joshua.
However, it was not good to say anything now.
Joan was expressionless. He could see that Joshua seemed excluding him to be with Amanda.
“Which hotel did you book?” Joshua asked.
Joan said the hotel’s name.
Joshua nodded and headed in that direction.
They didn’t talk much along the way. After about twenty minutes, the car stopped at the entrance of the
hotel. Amanda also followed and got out, “Wait for me. I’ll drop off Joan.”
Joshua nodded.
Joan didn’t let Amanda send him off, “It’s late and you should go home early to rest.”
“I’ll walk you up.” Amanda insisted.
She felt that Joan had come all the way here because of her, so she should give him a lift.
Joan looked at her for a moment in silence and turned around to head to the hotel.
Amanda walked up to him, “Thank you for relieving me.”
Joan pursed his lips. She had thanked him many times before.
Joan reported his information when they got to the front desk. After the registration, the receptionist
handed over the key card, and Joan took it over.
The two got on the lift.
They walked to the room when they reached their floor.
Amanda didn’t go forward and said to him, “I’ll go then.”
Joan paused in opening the door and turned around to look at her, “I can see that your ex-husband still
seems to have feelings for you. Will you forgive him?”
“No.”
“You don’t love him anymore?”
“Yes.”
“I think he’ll come back to you later. He might have come with us this time if I hadn’t had to do this.”
He had gotten someone from the airline to deliberately not sell tickets to Stanford. And he also used his
powers to get the local police to stop him for whatever reasons.
This was why Stanford couldn’t come back with them. However, it could only slow him down for a while,
and he would still come back for Amanda.
“I think you should start a new relationship to make him let go completely. I don’t mind if you’ve been
married…”
