Johanne finally accepted Edward's offer, and in two days, she returned to the mansion, nervous about not knowing what she would face again. The salary she would receive would help improve her life, so she wouldn't think twice about it."Well, Johanne, thank you for coming back. From now on, I'll be returning to the mansion later; I have too much pending work and haven't been able to concentrate enough.""Don't worry, sir, I understand. I'll try to do everything possible to make sure Jhin is well.""Thank you, Johanne. I may arrive late tonight; I have an important meeting. But as soon as I put Jhin to bed, you can go to your home. My driver can take you." She had practically moved in at the shelter out of necessity, and she was embarrassed for him to find out."Don't worry; I'll take a taxi.""You don't have to expose yourself. The driver will take you. Just around 8 o'clock, you can leave. I'll pay for his overtime." Edward wanted her to feel comfortable in her job, not just for Jhin

Johanne had to return to the foundation where she was staying with her little son. She hadn't received her first payment yet to find a place to live, so for now, she would have to make do with staying there. Even though she had a room just for herself and her baby, she didn't feel entirely comfortable. Despite her efforts to be a strong woman for herself and her son, these little things still made her feel depressed. As she went out for dinner, she ran into her good friend Rachell. They had become close friends during the time Johanne had to sell flowers on the street, and Rachell had been an unwavering source of support."Johanne! How are you? Darling, you have no idea how much we miss you at the traffic light. Sales haven't been the Georgee since you left. Hey, how's it going at the millionaire's mansion? I imagine it's good because just having that handsome guy as your boss is the best thing that could happen to you, babe," Rachell said as Johanne tried to smile."Well, as far as M

The next day and with a slight hangover Johanne get up, she had not slept very well, her head was spinning, but also her heart, because not a single second had passed in which she had not thought of Edward. She goes to the bathroom and washes her face and teeth, puts a ponytail in her hair and goes straight to the kitchen to prepare her baby's bottle, it wouldn't take long, she would finish resting at the foundation. As she goes downstairs, she notices that the dining room is almost ready for breakfast, Jhin is already ready to eat at his usual booth, and there were two more booths set up, she figures it's for Edward's brothers, when suddenly he appears. “Miss Johanne, did you sleep well?” Edward comes out of the kitchen, his face was tenderly happy, he had a tray in his hands full of food, it smelled delicious. “Sir, good morning," she gave him a small smile, she was still embarrassed, "yes, I slept well, thank you," she lied to him. “Lily! What are you doing here, did you sleep h

"Johanne! Please wait, we need to talk," Edward arrives at the room where Johanne had spent the night.Her eyes were filled with tears, but her pride remained intact. She wouldn't give him the satisfaction of seeing her cry over what had happened."Mr. Edward, I know you must be upset about what happened, but you must have noticed how things unfolded."Johanne heads to the bathroom; she had decided to simply remove the egg from her face and leave. She couldn't stand another minute in the mansion."Why do you always resort to violence? That's how it ended with Margarita too." Edward's accusatory words hit Johanne's ears like a hammer."What?! So, I'm supposed to allow them to do whatever they please to me and react in the best way possible, right? No, Mr. Edward, you're mistaken. Do you know what? If you want to fire me like the last time, go ahead, but I won't submit to such humiliations."Johanne stands defiantly in front of him."Johanne, please, it's not about that. I'm not going t

After the passionate encounter between Edward and Johanne, he avoided contact with her, he left very early and came back for dinner, they only crossed glances and words were short, his indifference became irresistible to her, she could not bear the idea that Edward did not even speak to her and did not have the slightest contact.“How have you been today, son, did you do your homework at school?” Edward just talked to Jhin while they were having dinner.“Yes, Dad, Mili helps me a lot with my homework, she always explains what I don't understand," Jhin replied, spooning innocently. “Did you thank her?”“Yes, yes, daddy, I did everything," Johanne stares at him, impressed by his rant, "couldn't he ask her himself?”“Why don't you ask me about Jhin yourself, will you continue to treat me with indifference?” Johanne let him go without further ado, dropping her cutlery hard on her plate, Edward gave her an annoyed look, he didn't like it when the two of them argued in front of the childre
