Elena Bush bit her lip tightly, unable to hide the guilt in her eyes.
Logan Brown lifted his hand and patted the top of her head, “Maybe talking to you about this does scare you, it’s just, I don’t want anything to happen to you, so stay as far away from Edward Ford as you can.”
“What about Kent?”
“He’s fine.”
“How do you know?” The little woman had a suspicious look on her face.
“When Kent and I mentioned you before we got back, he’d already left the Fords, and he’ll contact you when he’s settled down in a few days.”
Elena Bush’s grip on her chopsticks tightened, and the emotions on her face quickly retracted.
She looked up and smiled, “Okay, I’ll wait to hear from him then.”
“Mmm .” The man wordlessly circled her into his arms, his thin lips dropping a kiss to her forehead, “You need to forget about that woman too, everyone has their own choices and it’s out of your hands.”
“But ……” Elena Bush shook her head, “I didn’t understand why I resisted him somehow before, I thought, just because you didn’t like Edward Ford, so I didn’t like too. But now I seem to understand that Edward Ford …… may be more complicated than I thought.”
Logan Brown laugh, “You just found out?”
Elena Bush sputtered, “How should I know, I’ve only recently become involved with Edward Ford and naturally I don’t know as much as you do, plus you didn’t want to tell me.”
How could you blame her?
Logan Brown nodded in response, “Blame me, blame me for not telling you.”
Elena Bush beamed, “You went to the Brown today, how are things now, I don’t suppose Edward Ford did anything to you?”
“No.” He shook his head, “Thanks to you, perhaps.”
“Hmm?”
Looking at the small woman’s tightened brow , Logan Brown then kindly explained, “Edward Ford took a phone call in the middle of it, probably about you, so he left soon afterwards.”
Elena Bush nodded, not sure if she should be happy, “So, should I be glad I still have a place in Edward Ford’s heart?”
“More than that.”
Logan Brown curled his lips into a smile, she had more than a place in Edward Ford’s heart, she was the only treasure in the world.
She was also the only flesh and blood left behind by Joanna Lake, and with a face so similar to Joanna Lake’s, it wasn’t easy for him to forget.
Logan Brown’s words immediately confused her again, and she looked at him with a puzzled look on her face, her eyes lingering in confusion.
Logan Brown didn’t seem to have any intention of explaining either, just rubbing the top of her head and urging, “Eat first.”
“Oh.”
She nodded and buried her head in her chopsticks as she ate.
the Fords
Edward Ford couldn’t transfer the surveillance, and a fit of anger climaxed before he went to the other house in a rage.
Claudia Garcia’s face didn’t ripple much at the sight of the man who had suddenly re-entered the house with a grim look on his face, perhaps as if she had already gotten used to it.
“Joanna ……”
Edward Ford cried out fondly as he stepped forward to hold her close to him, contentment written all over his face.
Edward Ford took a deep breath and quickly smiled, “Joanna, are you wearing the perfume I bought for you?”
“Edward Ford.”
“Joanna, I am.”
Claudia Garcia looked at the smitten look in his eyes a smirk tinted the bottom of her eyes, “I’m Claudia Garcia, not Joanna Lake, look closely.”
“Claudia Garcia?”
Edward Ford slowly turned his face then, his eyes fell on her features, apart from the similar starry eyes, her nose, her mouth …… none of which resembled Joanna Lake.
With a jolt, Edward Ford too, as if struck by lightning, came to his senses! He gritted his teeth and stared at the woman in front of him, “Claudia Garcia!”
Claudia Garcia nodded, “It’s me.”
“Shut up!” He scolded angrily, grabbing the mask that lay on the coffee table along with the hat and throwing it at her, “Didn’t I warn you that you would have to wear these whenever you saw me?”
Nothing about her was of any use or value! Except for those eyes ……
Claudia Garcia nodded at what she was holding and suddenly laughed, “Edward Ford, after all this time, why are you fooling yourself?”
Whether she was Joanna Lake or not, he should know better than anyone in his heart.
“And you dare to talk back!”
“Why wouldn’t I dare!?” She met his gaze, “Edward Ford, for your information, I am Claudia Garcia, not the Joanna Lake you think I am, nor will I ever be in this lifetime!”
“As long as you keep your mouth shut, then you are her ……”
Edward Ford stepped forward and compulsorily put a mask and hat on her, a beautiful face that ended up with only a pair of soulful eyes.
“Joanna, Joanna ……”
“Crazy!”
Claudia Garcia didn’t even have time to think as she ripped the mask off her face with a low curse, “Edward Ford, don’t you forget that I’ve been with you for almost half a year now, and at the rate you’re changing women, We are finished!”
“What do you mean?”
Edward Ford flashed a grim sting, the veins in his forehead blazing.
Claudia Garcia violently slammed everything in her hands straight to the floor in one fluid motion, with a steely look on her face, “I said, I’m leaving ……”
“Stop it!”
Without waiting for her words to come out, the man pounced on her like a cornered beast and pinned her to the couch and covered her mouth, “Joanna, I will never let you leave my side in my life, I can’t live without you.”
“Mmmm ……”
Claudia Garcia fought to free herself from his grip, “Edward Ford, I’ve had enough! I’m sick of this madness of you, I’m not her and I don’t look like her, I’m Claudia Garcia, Claudia Garcia!!!”
“No!”
Edward Ford pressed her back onto the couch again, “You are Joanna, my Joanna ……”
Claudia Garcia panicked for a moment and then went quiet again.
She wanted to laugh but she couldn’t, she didn’t know how many times this had happened and she didn’t know what caused it each time ……
Once, she had taken him to heart as well.
She had to admit that initially At first she saw him for his money, then she liked him for his person, so when he asked she said yes without hesitation, only for things to gradually start going sideways after she had said yes ……
It was only later that she realised that she was just one of his many lovers and that she was no different from everyone else.
And Edward Ford met their every request because of one thing, all of their faces combined carried the shadow of Joanna Lake ……
