As she spoke, Amanda pushed Joshua. “It’s time to have a good night with your wife. Don’t waste any
time here.”
“Are you truly all right?” Joshua was still worried.
Amanda frowned. “You are a man. Just cut the crap and go!”
Joshua was speechless.
He was truly worried about her
“Okay, I’m taking off now,” he said.
Joshua put his arm on Bonnie’s shoulder and was about to leave, but Bonnie couldn’t rest assured.
She tugged his sleeve and said, “Amanda is truly drunk. I’m afraid...”
“Look. Aunt Theresa is watching her.”
“Where is she?”
Bonnie didn’t see Theresa at all.
“She’s behind the pillar on the right side of the hall.” When Joshua saw her, Theresa winked at him and
hinting at him to leave. Otherwise, how could he be willing to left Amanda alone here?
Bonnie looked over and sure enough, she also saw Theresa.
“What does Aunt Theresa mean?” Bonnie guessed, “Did she want to bring Amanda and Joan
together?”
“I guess so.” Joshua heaved a sigh.
Bonnie felt quite puzzled. “Why? Isn’t it good? Joan is a nice man. He’s also handsome. The most
important is his family background. I’m not remarking because he’s rich. Remember last time we went
to Thailand to visit Mom? We met Joan there. Mom said his parents loved each other deeply. Joan
grew up in a family full of family affectionate and so did Amanda. They both have pure and kind hearts.
However, probably Amanda had lost her innocence, but it was all because of Stanford James. She
can’t forgive him and be reconciled with him, can she?”
Joshua looked at her.
Bonnie continued, “I don’t have a bias on Stanford James. I admit that he’s capable, but his character...
Well, he’s different from Amanda. Firstly, he grew up in a different environment as Amanda did, so they
had a huge difference in their characters. Do you think two persons with completely different characters
could live together?”
Joshua clicked his tongue and said, “Bonnie.”
“Yes?”
Joshua smiled. “Today is the most important day for us. Can you talk about us instead?”
“What should I talk about us?” Bonnie widened her eyes to look at him.
Joshua was speechless.
“As the old saying goes, there are two fortunate things for one’s life. One is to get the first prize in the
highest imperial examination. And the other one is the wedding night.” Joshua looked at her. “So now
have you realized what’s important to me the most?”
Bonnie kept silent.
Joshua bent over and lifted her. Bonnie was startled. She almost let out an exclaim. Fortunately, she
reacted fast and covered her mouth. It would be so embarrassing if others have seen them.
Joshua lowered his head and looked at her. “We’re legal now. So what if others have seen us?”
Bonnie was still silent.
“Our elders are still there.” Bonnie felt so embarrassed that she even didn’t know where to put her arms
and legs.
“They have also experienced this. They’ll understand and not scold us.” Joshua carried her in his arms
and entered the elevator.
There was no one else in the elevator. Joshua bent down his head and pecked her forehead. He
whispered, “Don’t think about anything today. Only think about me.”
Bonnie blushed, nestling in his arms shyly. “Joshua.”
“Ehn?”
Bonnie wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her face between his neck and shoulder. “If... I
was raped, would you still...”
“Of course. I know you were forced.” Joshua moved his neck and pushed her face up. His cheek clung
to hers. “Can you be obedient?”
“Am I not?” Bonnie felt wronged.
“I asked you to think about me only tonight. What’s in your mind?”
Right then, the door of the elevator was opened.
Joshua carried her out of the elevator.
