Bedding My Vampire Mate

Chapter 180 She Was No Longer Herself

"No," Amos replied, his gaze not moving away from Joanna's back.

Joanna clasped her fists when she heard his reply. "So much for saying he loves me," Joanna's muttered before she stomped away.

"Are you…,"

"I will use the restroom," Joanna walked passed Mrs Parker without sparing the woman a glance.

"If she isn't your girlfriend then why was she acting like a jealous wife?" Amelia asked. She turned in time to see Amos' gaze focused on the restroom's direction.

"Although she isn't my girlfriend I have known her all my life. She is someone very dear to my heart," Amos said absentmindedly.

He looked in the restroom direction for a few minutes. He turned and walked out of the cafe and Amelia made sure she was beside him all the way.

Inside the restroom, Joanna whose entire body was on fire paced to and fro the front of the sink.

"Yes, he was telling the truth that we are nothing to each other except mere friends so why am I so furious?" Joanna questioned as she looked at herself in the mirror.

"Why is it that I am about to burst due to rage?... What is wrong with me lately?" Joanna asked as she lowered her raised hands.

Her right hand merely held the top of the washing hand sink when a crack appeared on the side of the white sink.

Lowering her gaze she was stunned to see what she had done.

"Why does it seem like everything is against me lately huh?" Joanna kicked the air with her right leg.

She dared not kick the wall for fear of what will happen. She might end up collapsing the wall with a kick.

As Joanna tried to cool down in the restroom, at home Adhara and Laura got ready to undergo another series of questioning when they perceived Mr Anderson's scent from afar.

"Though I hate to admit that I lost to that stupid daughter of a mistress, we must adhere to our previous plan," Adhara spoke in a low tone, her attention focused on the entrance door.

"We were able to deal with the police and neighbours' questions. He is the last person whose questions we need to deal with. Making mistakes is not allowed… In fact, we can't afford to make mistakes so watch what you say, Laura," Adhara warned her daughter.

Laura raised her right hand and held her mother's trembling hands laid on her left thigh.

"We are in this together, Mum so you can trust me to do just like we practised," Laura gave her mother a reassuring smile.

Just like others have been doing, Mrs Anderson entered the house using the back door.

"What was that out there?" These were his first words the moment he entered the sitting room and met his wife and daughter.

"Did a terrorist attack happen while I was away?" asked Mr, Anderson, as he approached where his wife and daughter sat.

The next thing that happened was that Adhara broke down in tears instead of answering her husband's questions.

"That is the exact questioned I have been asking myself ever since I almost got blown off by the explosion…,'

"What!" Mr Anderson's eyes widened in shock. He rushed to his wife's side.

Laura was smart enough to stand up in time and give space to her father.

"Yes, Dad. That was exactly what happened. Mum was relaxing on the porch when the incident occurred," Laura began with a miserable expression.

"If Mum didn't take to her heels when she saw the strange ball-like material flying in the air, she would have been blown off into tiny unrecognizable pieces," Laura said.

Merely recalling the ruins outside always sent cold shivers down her spine.

Would my stepsister have really blown us off if we didn't escape from there on time?... Were her intentions to kill me and my mother?

These questions have been bothering her mind ever since the incident.

"Are you ok, Sweetheart?" Mr Anderson asked as he explained his wife's body for injuries.

"I was lucky to have narrowly escaped," Adhara said amidst her sobs.

"Has anyone reported the case to the police?... If yes then what has been done about the incident? Had the culprit been caught?" Mr Anderson demanded standing up from the couch.

[I want nothing more than for that vicious girl to be caught. In fact, my anger would not subside even after tearing her into pieces but unfortunately, I can't do that right now]

Adhara clenched her fist when she remembered the helpless situation there are in right now.

"The police were here to interrogate us. And we told them all we knew about the incident without hiding anything from them. They promised to get back to us when they have gotten any leads on the incident," Laura said, not forgetting to look as miserable as she could.

"Nobody can harm my family and go scot-free," Mr Anderson thundered as he spring to his feet.

"I will call the police commissioner and make sure that the perpetrator gets punished in the soonest time possible," Mr Anderson said not calming down.

He stuck his hand into his trouser pockets and brought out his phone.

After dialling a person's line he walked ten steps away from where his wife and daughter were.

"Hmmm…," Laura exhaled deeply as she sank into the couch beside her mother.

"Thank goodness, we sent Tony over to Viviana's place because I am sure we wouldn't have been able to get ourselves out of this mess with him around," Adhara replied wiping her tears.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

Back at the cafe, Joanna strolled back to the main cafe after managing to keep her anger under control.

Looking around, she was surprised that Mrs Parker was nowhere to be seen.

She turned to look at Leah who was making a cup of coffee.

"Leah, what about Mrs Parker? Did she go somewhere?" Joanna leaning against the counter asked.

"She left after receiving a phone call. She asked us to lock the shop when the time for getting off work reaches," Leah replied, not taking her eyes off what she was doing.

"She left without waiting to oversee that we wrapped up everything… that is so unlike Mrs Parker I know," Joanna muttered absentmindedly.

HAPPY ENDING OF THE MONTH EVERYONE!!!

I only get to do this once a month so I want to use this opportunity to say a big thank you to all of my readers who supported this book this August 2022.

Although my expectations were far from being met and so were the goals far from being accomplished, I still want to let you guys know that I appreciate all the hard work and resources you have put into this book.

Lately, my mind has been in turmoil. For my old readers who followed me from my previous books, I am sure you know that I would have given multiple mass releases each month even though you guys didn't reach the goals. But this didn't happen because of the current situation I am going through.

My mental health has been suffering for over two months now. Just so I won't disappoint you (My lovely readers) who must be waiting for updates daily, I have been trying my best to update daily.

I just want to use this medium to tell you guys that I might be forced to take a break from writing if this continues. But let's all hope it doesn't get to that stage.

As I give my all to make sure you get nothing but the best, please help this poor author out. Let's try our best to do much better next month. I believe that you guys are capable of making your darling author proud so I will look forward to seeing some improvements next month.

SPECIAL SHOUTOUT

A special shout-out to all the readers who bought privileged chapters for August. I would have loved to mention your names also but unfortunately, authors on Webnovel don't know readers who bought privileged chapters except the readers leave a comment on the purchased chapter.

...

Thank you so much to all my readers, both the active and the silent ones.

To all my silent readers, I wish one day you will let go of your quietness and become a source of motivation to me too.

Thank you so much once again, everyone.

P.S: The reason why there was no review category was that as usual all of you had decided not to leave a single review on the work.

Also, last month it was only one person who repeatedly kept commenting which is why DaoistTzoOew is the only reader who dominated that category.

Keep on supporting the book if you want your name to be included on the list
