Haze closed his eyes and tried to kiss Joanna.
For the first ti, Joanna did not punch him, but tried to accept it.
Human beings needed roughly seven years to have a full cell tabolism, so maybe a person could transform into soone else in seven years.
Joanna knew that she had loved Ace wholeheartedly for more than ten years.
Even her cells had completed their tabolism, so by right, she should also get a new lover.
After all, a vague love affair would probably just fade with ti.
Their lips gently ca into contact, but before they could deepen the kiss, a cold breeze hit them.
"No, I can’t!" Joanna suddenly gasped, and pushed Haze away.
She looked like she had woken up from a dream, and said remorsefully, "I must be out of my mind!" Haze frowned and held her shoulders, asking gently, "What’s wrong? What’s troubling you?’ "Nothing’s wrong, it’s just..." Joanna shook her head and muttered, "n and won should get together because they love each other, not because they have the sa interests.
Of course I can’t just casually date soone just because my love affair failed.
It’s unfair to you.’ "No, that’s not it," Haze insisted.
"It is, since we have no love for each other.
We just laid out the reasons that we’re suitable for each other, but we didn’t ntion love.
Shouldn’t that be the foundation for us to be together? Without it, it’s useless even if we have compatibility," Joanna tried to explain to Haze.
Haze was practically tailor-made for her, but she felt nothing for him.
Even dogs could find the stinky old toy they yearned for among a bunch of fancy new toys.
Maybe Ace was like the old toy she couldn’t forget about.
People might feel disgusted by it and tell her to pick sothing else, but she couldn’t change her old habits.
If that was the case, then she deserved to suffer! After Haze listened to her explanation, he was silent for a long ti before he whispered, "That’s what you think.
You haven’t chosen to be with yet, so you’ll never know whether love can bloom between us.
There’s love at first sight as well as the love that grows with ti.
Maybe we’ll find that we can love each other after spending more ti with each other.
We’ll be the kind of soulmates who are very in tune with each other." "No, that’s impossible.
If that was the case, we would have fallen in love much earlier." Joanna waved her hand dismissively and said firmly, "We can only be friends and teammates.
We’re indeed in tune with each other, but it’ll be impossible for love to grow between us." "What if I’m kind and good enough to make you fall in love with ?" "Kind?" Joanna chuckled and looked at him in amusent.
"It takes seven years for a full tabolism.
How long can your passion last? Don’t bite off more than you can chew." "You don’t have to worry about it.
My passion can last for a very long ti.
After all, didn’t I soldier through after so many years? Probably, the reason that I failed to make you warm up to is..." Haze smirked and suddenly gave her a peck on the lips.
"Maybe I’m not hot enough." He quickly pulled away but said confidently, "Don’t worry, we’ll fall in love with each other sooner or later... After all, I managed to win over my future brother-in-law.
As for you, you’ll soon be mine!" After that night, Carmine Pawnshop began its cooperation with the Baldwin family.
However, it had suffered a gigantic loss previously because of the shipwreck, so they could not transport the treasures back on ti.
The Baldwin family showed their sincerity and invested a large sum of 4.5 million dollars in Carmine Pawnshop to help them redy their loss.
Quinton was grinning all the ti and was always discussing things with Haze.
He was very submissive and respectful towards Haze too.
However, Quinton and Joanna’s relationship had beco strange after that night.
They were not as close to each other as before... and now, they just chose to ignore each other.
Sotis they pretended like they didn’t see each other when their paths crossed, and wouldn’t even greet each other.
Whenever they spoke, it was only either out of necessity or to insult the other.
Both Haze and Clara were stuck in the middle of their fight, and they felt like they were walking on eggshells.
"Quinton, eat more.If not, your belly will beco so small that nothing can go in it." As they sat at the table to eat, Joanna suddenly put so food on Quinton’s plate.
Everyone could tell that Joanna was implying that Quinton was petty.
Quinton expressionlessly ate the food she gave him before he served her so food as well and sneered.
"Joanna, this is fresh.Eat more so you’ll get smarter." "Thank you, Quinton.This is nice too.You’ll earn more money when you’re stronger and healthier." "Thank you, Joanna.
Eat more fish so your brain will be smart enough to tell good people from bad." Throughout dinner, the siblings served each other food and ridiculed each other.
Haze and Clara exchanged glances, but chose not to say anything and kept eating.
"I’m full!" Joanna finally failed to defeat Quinton, and smacked her fork on the table and got up to leave.
She did not want to fall out with him this way, but she just got so angry when she thought about how he said he could easily cut her out of his life.
"Oh dear, it looks like I’m full too.Joan, wait for !" Clara got up and ran after Joanna.
Joanna walked alone and reached the dock eventually.
As she stared at the ships, she hugged her legs and cried silently.
"Joan, what happened between you and Quinton? You guys are constantly at each other’s necks!" Clara sat beside Joanna and asked in concern.
Such a thing was normal for other siblings but strange for Joanna and Quinton.
After all, they were generally very close to each other.
They cared for each other so much that they would even risk their lives for each other.
"Clara, I don’t know what I should do.
I didn’t know that Quinton would be so stubborn.
I don’t want him to live a bitter life so I tried to help him, but not only did he refuse, he even mocked and wanted to live a life like his.
Do you think I’m wrong? What should I do to help him?" Clara didn’t know what Joanna ant, but she wanted to help her friend." You want to help Quinton?Well, I’ve got an idea."
