After all, she did not want her daughter to grow up to be a hopeless romantic!
The taxi soon arrived at the apartnt.
Before Joanna had even gone through the door, she already had a premonition of the chaos inside.
Sure enough, as soon as she opened the door, she saw Clara crying and wailing, while her son Adie was sitting calmly on the sofa.
"Adie, please, delete the virus from my phone! There are so very important files in my phone! I can’t let them get stolen!"
"What important files? I looked around and there are only your selfies in there."
"Selfies are important! Be a good boy and do as I say, okay? You can ss with anything but not the phone. You win. Please delete the virus."
"Since you admit defeat, tell where Mommy is and why she left without saying goodbye. I can’t reach her. Does she not want anymore?"
Adie pouted and interrogated Clara angrily.
Clara was at a loss. She said, ’I... I don’t know. She sent a text asking to co and take care of you, and then she just vanished. But rather than being here to take care of you, I feel like I’m here to get punished. You’re even harder to deal with than an adult. I..."
"What’s going on?"
Joanna walked in and asked with a frown.
Adie was initially acting mature, but upon hearing Joanna’s voice, he quickly dashed over like a kid.
"Mommy, you’re back! I thought you don’t want anymore!"
The little guy was overjoyed to find his beloved sister and his respected Aunt Nancy behind Joanna too. ’Abby, Aunt Nancy, you’ve here too! That’s great!"
"Adie, I finally see you again! I want a hug!"
The two siblings imdiately hugged each other lovingly.
"Joanna, you’re finally back. Look... look what your son did!"
Clara was close to tears. She showed Joanna her phone which Adie had infected with a Trojan virus. She complained, "Look at my phone! It now automatically sends my selfies to all my contacts on WeChat. It’s so embarrassing!"
Joanna was embarrassed. She took the phone from Clara to help her remove the virus, only to find that she could not remove the Trojan program.
"Aiden Pierce!"
Joanna yelled with a stiff face.
"Here!"
The little guy took the phone, clicked a few things, and imdiately deleted the Trojan program. At the sa ti, he chided, "Mommy, your skills are getting a bit rusty lately. Did sothing happen to you?"
Joanna was really angry. "You can’t be so disrespectful to Mommy Clara.
How could you plant a virus in her phone? You have no manners at all. If you do sothing like that again, I won’t forgive you!"
"I’m sorry, Mommy. I just wanted to make Mommy Clara tell where you are. I was worried about you."
As soon as Adie apologized, Joanna could not keep up her anger anymore. She took the little guy’s hands and said, "Where else can Mommy go? Of course I went back to Sun Island to pick up your sister and Aunt Nancy..."
’That’s right, Adie. Mommy even brought us back a Daddy this ti!"
Abby said eagerly.
"A Daddy?"
Adie was a super sis-con. He said with a serious expression, "What kind of Daddy is he? How can you call soone Daddy so casually?"
Seeing that, Joanna quickly fanned the flas. She said eagerly, ’That’s right! The role of a Daddy is sacred and very important. You must carefully choose who you call Daddy... Adie, your sister listens to you, so make sure you educate her well."
That’s right, Adie was Joanna’s "secret weapon" to deal with Abby.
Abby may not necessarily listen to her advice, but when the advice ca from Adie, Abby would always listen to him.
Adie put on a serious expression like an "old father" and started to educate Abby.
"Abby, didn’t I tell you that the world is very complicated? Aside from Mommy, , Aunt Nancy, as well as Daddy Liam and Mommy Clara, anyone else who approaches us might be a bad person. You can’t call soone Daddy so easily. What if he’s a bad person who wants to hurt us, especially Mommy?"
In the past, Abby would have nodded obediently and committed Adie’s words to mory, but this ti, the little girl argued with Adie for the first ti. Pouting her pink lips and with her face flushed red, she said, ’ Adie, I don’t think so. There aren’t that many bad people in the world. At least the people I t were all kind to . Daddy is also a good person. He took care of Mommy when she was sick and he also played with . He also promised to take on a helicopter ride so that I can experience the feeling of flying... How can soone who’s so kind to be a bad person?"
Upon hearing that, Joanna and Adie beca anxious.
"Do you hear what your sister is saying? That’s sothing only a really silly girl would say. Please help talk so sense into her or she’ll grow up into a hopeless romantic who falls for scumbags all the ti!"
Joanna looked at Adie and pinned all her hopes on him.
Adie put on an even sterner look and said, ’Abby, if you keep being so stubborn, I’m gonna get angry. If that Daddy of yours is really that amazing, then you should go to him. Don’t stay with and Mommy anymore."
Abby sighed helplessly. She finally gave in. "Fine. Of course you and Mommy are more important to . I promise you I’ll ignore Daddy from now on."
Sigh, her mother and brother both get jealous so easily. In order to appease them, she could only give Daddy the short end of the stick for now.
However, she needed to find a way to make her mother and brother accept Daddy as soon as possible...
Joanna heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Abby finally give in.
As long as she could keep Abby and Mr. Q from seeing each other, when she earned enough money to redeem Sun Island, that guy couldn’t co close to Abby anymore. That would be the perfect plan!
"Alright, it’s getting late. You two should go wash up. We’re gonna report to Monte Perry Kindergarten tomorrow morning."
Joanna rubbed the heads of Adie and Abby, then turned to Nancy and said, "Nancy, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of these two little ones from now on. I’m going to focus more of my ti on my career."
"Don’t worry, Miss Joan. I know you’ve kept a low profile and isolated yourself from the outside world for four years for this very mont. I’ll definitely do my part. I’ll do my best to help you take care of things at ho. That would be my contribution to the revival of the Pierce family."
’Thank you, Nancy. You’re a treasure. What am I gonna do without you?"
Joanna hugged Nancy coquettishly like a child.
Without Nancy’s help in raising Adie and Abby for the past four years, she would not have the ti to pursue a career, let alone have the confidence to revive the Pierce family.
She was very grateful for Nancy’s contribution and secretly planned to take Nancy back to her hotown in North City after the Pierce family revival plan was successful in order to help Nancy fulfill her lifelong wish!
"Alright, Miss Joan, go do what you have to do. Leave the two children to .
Nancy patted Joanna’s back lovingly, like a mother comforting her daughter.
The two children obeyed Nancy’s words. They washed up and went to bed.
Only Joanna and Clara were left in the living room.
"I have the money. Where’s your brother? Let’s go look for him right now."
