Chapter 247: Chapter 249: Missing the Soft and Cute Girl from the Past

She furrowed her brows, not wanting to pay attention. However, the person behind her quickly caught up to her, taking three steps at once. Just as she walked out of the Benington family’s entrance, David Benington reached her.

He stood in front of her.

"Joanna, let’s talk."

Joanna Lawrence raised her head, looking at him coldly: "Get out of the way."

David didn’t move, looking down at the girl standing in front of him. He said with difficulty, "Joanna, could we talk? I have something to say to you."

Joanna’s gaze filled with disgust, and she replied coldly, "I have nothing to say to you."

Her coldness and the disgust in her eyes hurt David.

Now, Joanna seemed like a porcupine covered with prickles.

Whenever she saw him, her prickles would stand on end.

She refused to communicate with him.

Her indifference to him was more distant than to strangers.

This made David uncomfortable and hard to accept.

He began to miss the soft and cute girl from before.

"Joanna, don’t be like this," David showed an injured expression. "I know I owe you an apology, and I’ve thought about making it up to you. But you won’t give me a chance to make amends. Tell me, what can I do to earn your forgiveness?"

Joanna didn’t expect David to have the audacity to say such things.

Did he actually think she would forgive him?

How thick-skinned must one be to say such shameless words?

He was so shameless that even Mrs. Benington couldn’t stand it.

Mrs. Benington stepped forward and slapped him on the head: "You shameless thing, you did wrong by Joanna and you still have the face to seek her forgiveness? Get back in there and stop embarrassing yourself!"

"Mom."

David dodged Mrs. Benington’s slap, somewhat aggrieved: "I really have something to say to Joanna. You don’t understand, so please don’t add to the chaos."

Mrs. Benington slapped him again, trembling with anger: "What don’t I understand? You and that shameless siren have a child together, what more is there for me to misjudge? I’m telling you, just because she’s having a child doesn’t give her the right to enter the Benington family. As long as I’m alive, she won’t succeed."

"Mom, that’s your own grandchild!"

"What grandchild? I don’t acknowledge it! That casual woman seduced you, and she could also seduce other men. Who knows whose seed is growing in her belly? Are you that trusting of her?"

"Mom, what are you saying? Annie has never been with another man besides me. Whose child could it be if not your grandchild?"

Mother and son began to argue.

Joanna stood aside, watching silently for a few seconds before giving up on the idea of breaking up the fight and turning to leave.

A scumbag like David deserved a lesson from Mrs. Benington.

It wasn’t her place to stop Mrs. Benington.

She walked briskly across the street toward the black Rolls-Royce parked quietly under the sycamore trees.

As soon as she approached the car door, it clicked open.

The man sitting in the back seat looked up, revealing a handsome and noble face. His deep black eyes landed on her, filled with gentle warmth.

Upon meeting his gaze, Joanna couldn’t help but smile.

She bent down and got into the car.

The moment she entered, she was pulled into the man’s strong arms.

His long arms wrapped around her waist possessively.

"Is everything taken care of?"

As the car door closed, the man’s deep magnetic voice sounded.
