this?"
Joshua had
had no appetite to continue eating, he was infuriated by Anika.
Joshua thought, "How did I not notice before that Anika is so eloquent?"
The sky outside gradually darkened. After a loud thunder,lightning flashed across the gloomy sky.
Anika opened her phone and saw that it was already
8 o'clock in the evening.
Usually at this time, Anika would call Clare and check on how Evan is doing.
Joshua's tall figure blocked the light in front of Anika.
Anika didn't know when Joshua had come up behind her.
Joshua asked, "What were you looking at?"
Anika immediately put away her phone and turned to look at Joshua..
Joshua's complexion improved a lot, but the sharpness in his eyes remained
Anika said, "Have you eaten?Can I go back now?"
"Are you in such a hurry to go back because Trent contacted you? Joshua asked casually.
Anika felt that Joshua had something hidden in his words, so she asked, "What do you mean by saying
Anika thought Joshua spoke strangely today because Joshua kept mentioning Trent.
Just at that moment, Anika's phone rang.
Anika glanced at her phone and saw that it was Trent calling.
Anika was a little anxious.
However, Joshua remained calm.
Joshua said, "I'll give you five minutes. Come back immediately after finishing the call."
Upon hearing the words, Anika immediately grabbed her phone and walked outside the villa. Seeing that there was no one around and no surveillance, Anika dared to answer the call.
"Hello.
"Anika, William was taken away by Joshua's people."
Trent's words exploded in Anika's ears like a thunderbolt Anika finally understood the meaning behind
Joshua's words just now.
"What does it mean? How could William be taken away by Joshua?"
"When did Joshua discover William?"
'Did Joshua know William's identity?"
"By the way,how is Evan doing now?"
Anika was completely panicked.
Everything happened so suddenly.Anika didn't expect Joshua to find out about William so quickly.
'Don't worry for now.I will come back immediately after I finish dealing with things here."
"You need to calm down now. Joshua probably still doesn't know William's identity. Even if Joshua knows, William is his own child. He is even less likely to harm William. Don't be afraid."
Anika,however, could not calm down no matter what
Big raindrops fell on Anika's face outside.
When Anika hung up the phone, her body was still trembling.
It took Anika a long time of being rained on to calm herself down.
Anika walked back to the villa.
Joshua stood nearby holding a glass of wine in his slender hand.
"Didn't I say five minutes ago?"
Joshua looked at Anika and noticed that she was completely drenched.Anika seemed like she had lost
her soul.
Joshua knew for sure that Trent had told Anika about the child.
Joshua finished the wine in his hand. After setting down the wine glass, Joshua grabbed a towel and walked up to Anika.
'Why don't you take shelter from such heavy rain outside? How did you manage to survive these years
abroad?"
Joshua's eyes were dark.As Joshua spoke, he was wiping Anika's hair.
Joshua himself could hardly believe that he had made such a move.
Joshua did it just like that..
Anika's face turned pale, and her hand by her side tightened slightly.Anika asked, "Where did you take the
child?"
Joshua opened his lips and said, "A very safe place."
Anika completely broke down, her eyes turning red.
Anika said, "Give him back to me!"
Joshua's hand jerked.
'Before I give him back to you,I have a question to ask you."
Joshua's throat tightened, and his eyes welled up with tears. Joshua asked, 'Is William Hume really your
and Trent's child?"
Anika heard the name without any warning.
Anika was surprised.
Anika hadn't realized yet, and Joshua continued, "Never mind, you don't have to answer.
Joshua leaned over Anika's ear. Joshua's devilishly handsome face was filled with coldness at that
moment.
open.
"Ms.Carey, do you remember who I am now?"
Anika did not answer.
Joshua threw the towel on the ground and grabbed Anika's wrist with his big hand, pulling her upstairs.
'What do you want to do?"Anika panicked.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Joshua brought Anika to the bedroom where she used to live. With his free hand, Joshua pushed the door What caught the eye was a prominent black and white photograph, along with an urn,
