Bedding My Vampire Mate

Chapter 247 He Kept His Word

Although his sentence was short, it turned out to be the word Joanna needed to feel a bit of inner peace.

There was silence in the room after his utterances.

"Little rice ball, I don't have a place to spend the night in. You don't mind Big Sister sharing your room with you, right?" Joanna asked.

"Of course," Anthony said beaming.

Tonight, Joanna had difficulties sleeping but it wasn't as bad as it would have been if she had spent the night alone.

The next day Joanna woke up very early. She carefully climbed out of bed making sure that she didn't wake Anthony up in the process.

After tiptoeing into the bathroom, she rinsed her face and took care of her teeth. She had wanted to take a bath afterwards but had to change her mind when she recalled that she didn't have spare clothes.

Joanna returned to the bedroom soon. She gave a long stare at her little brother's sleeping face before she approached the door.

Joanna was lucky enough to bump into Nanny Susan the moment she stepped out of Anthony's bedroom.

"Miss Joanna," Nanny Susan called and bowed to show her respect.

ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom "There is no need for the formalities Nanny," Joanna said in almost a whisper. There was so much gentleness in her tone as she spoke.

Anyone who didn't know the identity of Nanny Susan will mistake her for Joanna's aunt because of the way the young lady addressed the middle-aged woman.

For fear that they might disturb Anthony's sleep, Joanna beckoned Nanny Susan to follow her outside.

"Nanny, I will be leaving now. I leave him under your care," Joanna said softly.

"I know he can be a handful sometimes so please do call my line if anything comes up. And I will try my best to show up as soon as I can," Joanna concluded, her gaze centred on the elderly woman's face.

"I will do just that Miss Joanna so you don't have to worry," Nanny Susan replied politely.

Joanna took a glance at her father and Stepmother's room before she turned to leave.

"Take good care of yourself, Miss Joanna," Nanny Susan said before Joanna could walk away.

Joanna glanced behind her with a smile on her face, "I will do just that. Thank you, Nanny," She said and proceeded to the elevator.

Reaching downstairs Joanna didn't need to start searching for him.

At the entrance of the tall building, she was greeted by the handsome face of a guy waving at her while leaning beside a white Mercedes Benz.

Before she left the room she had doubted whether he would get there that early. But seeing him waiting there made her believe that maybe he had been there for quite some time.

Joanna beamed at the guy waving at her. She went ahead and descended the stairs.

She proceeded to meet him where he stood.

The first thing Joanna noticed after reaching where he stood was that he was still wearing the maroon shirt and black trousers he wore the previous day.

Even his golden wristwatch and the black shoes he wore were the same as yesterday.

"You are still wearing the same outfits from yesterday. Don't tell me you stayed here the entire night?" Joanna questioned. She patiently waited for him to prove her wrong.

If she was to find out that because of her the King resorted to spending the night in such an uncomfortable place she would feel so terrible about it.

"I thought you promised me not to stay here the entire night…,"

"It's true I didn't go home last night but don't get me wrong, I didn't spend the night here," Amos cut in meekly.

"Really?" asked Joanna, her suspicious glares focused on his face.

"Yes," He replied unwaveringly.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

"I was overseeing an important task. By the time I realised how far it had gone, it was already morning. Though I had wanted to go home and freshen up to look nice for you, I had no choice but to come here first because of the promise I made to you," He explained in a calm tone.

He lowered his gaze and took a proper look at the lady standing in front of him.

"You are also wearing the same outfits from last night," He commented as he slowly lifted his gaze to look at her face.

"Did they chase you out of the room? Is that why you didn't get the chance to freshen…,"

"It's only Joanna in the past they would have been able to do that to but not the one standing in front of you," Joanna said with her chin lifted higher than usual.

Even without her powers she still managed to bully the mother and daughter duo. No matter what, they are not her match especially when the trump card is in her possession.

"You are…," She pulled the front door open and slid into the car before he got to complete his sentence.

"Get in and let's go," Joanna urged the guy whose gaze was on her.

"Coming," He replied and strolled to the driver's seat at the other side.

Amos ignited the car after making sure that she had strapped the seatbelt.

Midway through their journey, Joanna initiated a conversation.

"You said you had to oversee an important task and that is why you didn't go home last night…," Joanna trailed, her gaze centred on the guy whose attention was on the busy road.

"You have so many men working for you, including Chris, did you have to oversee it yourself?" Joanna asked the question which has been bothering her.

"Even Chris couldn't handle the problem. I had no choice but to oversee it myself…,"

"And did you manage to solve whatever problem it was?" Joanna asked out of sheer concern.

Momentarily he shifted his attention to the lady sitting by his side, "Hmmm… no," he replied meekly.

"Is the task so difficult that even you and Chris couldn't tackle it?" She demanded in a soft tone.

"They have been giving Chris and the others a bit of a headache but I believe that we will…,"

"If you need help know that I am available and willing to help out…,"

"That's not necessary," Amos interrupted sharply.
