My Husband Is a Gary Stu

Chapter 1020

Johanna saw her daughter wearing a blue romper with a pacifier in her mouth. Her face was chubby, and she appeared incredibly adorable.

Amanda was standing a meter away from Asel, teasing her with a rattle. Asel tottered toward her on stout legs. A while later, Amanda had her crouch on the lawn as they watched two rabbits munching on grass.

Johanna couldn't even tell how long it had been since she had last laid eyes on her daughter. At the sight of Asel's chubby cheeks on the screen, she began to tear up.

“Asel...” She touched her daughter's face through the screen, wishing she could scoop her up and kiss her.

Out of the blue, Zephyr took the phone away.

“Give it to me!” Johanna quickly moved to snatch it back from him. When she lifted her hand, such agony shot through her back that her face turned white.

Zephyr placed the phone out of her reach before swiftly pressing her hand back, lest she reopened her wound that had healed. “I'll send this video to the tablet, and you can watch it anytime henceforth. Right now, you need to eat.”

He picked up a bowl of chicken noodle soup from the cart. Taking a forkful of noodles, he blew on it before holding it out to her.

Recalling the gory scenes she had seen a while ago, Johanna felt sick to her stomach.

When she still didn't open her mouth after a long time, Zephyr stated unhurriedly, “I've still got a few videos of your daughter in my hands. If you behave, I'll show them to you when I'm in a good mood.”

Johanna shot daggers at him, but he remained smiling, his voice as soft and gentle as ever. “Be good and eat something.”

At the thought of her daughter, Johanna ultimately opened her mouth.

Gripping the armrests of the wheelchair hard, she looked down and was resolved to hire someone at a high price to wound him when she next had the opportunity to make her escape and have him locked somewhere perpetually dark so that he could also experience the feeling of being imprisoned.

The mere thought of that motivated her. She tried her best not to think about the video she had seen earlier and swallowed the food Zephyr fed her bite by bite.

She had a surprisingly good appetite, polishing off a bowl of chicken noodle soup and a meatball.

Zephyr wiped her mouth with a piece of tissue. When he noticed the resentment and obstinacy on her face, his mood lifted. “Are you fantasizing about how you're going to have me captured and ripped into pieces if you pull off a successful escape since I separated you from your husband and kid?”

Johanna knew all too well that the man appeared gentle, yet he was actually sharp-witted and perceptive. “Would you believe me if I were to deny it?”

“I'll naturally believe whatever you say.” Zephyr chuckled and brushed a finger across her chin.

While the two of them were chatting, the landline on the table rang. Zephyr got up and answered it, only to discover that it was a call from the housekeeper downstairs informing him that a guest had arrived.

After concluding the phone call, he came back and wheeled Johanna out of the study.
