Joanna returned to Greyport after sending Davian and Irvin to kindergarten. She had yet to arrive home when her phone.

rang..

Joanna took out her phone and saw that it was Shaun calling.

Joanna hesitated. She didn’t want to answer his call.

Since she had beaten Ingrid up yesterday, her father must be calling to reprimand her.

But the phone would keep ringing if she did not pick up the call.

Joanna picked up the call reluctantly, “Hello, Dad.”

Shaun’s dull voice sounded from the other end of the phone. “Joann.”

“What’s the matter, Dad?”

Shaun paused briefly before directly asking. “Well, I heard you and Ingrid had an unhappy incident yesterday?”

After Ingrid returned home yesterday, she threw a tantrum at Shaun and pushed him to sever his father–daughter relationship with Joanna.

Shaun was stuck in a dilemma.

Frowning slightly, Joanna answered with a not–very–polite tone. “Why? Are you calling to reprimand me?”

“Sigh, your personality is becoming increasingly like your mother’s. You’re becoming more and more brusque and unreasonable!

“Things wouldn’t have ended up in this state if you could just listen to others‘ advice…”

Joanna interrupted Shaun before he could finish. “Dad, is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first. I still have work to deal with later!”

Shaun pondered for a few seconds and quickly asked, “Mr. Everett and Roxy are getting engaged on the sixth of next month. Are you coming?”

Joanna paused for a moment before rejecting him. “I don’t think there’s a need for that, right? My presence at such an occasion will only dampen everyone’s mood.”

Shaun felt slightly relieved when he heard Joanna’s rejection.

He was not sincere about inviting Joanna but was afraid she would cause trouble at the engagement party otherwise.

“Alright then! I won’t force you in that case.”

“You and Roxy are both my daughters, after all. I hope you will both find happiness with a good man.

“I don’t want what happened six years ago to happen again!”

Joanna smiled wistfully. “Don’t worry, Dad. I won’t be at the scene, let alone cause trouble.”

“Yes, yes. Mr. Grimm is a good man too. I have a good impression of him. Bring him back for a meal sometime when you

are free!”

Joanna tried her best to raise her spirits and speak calmly. “I don’t think there’s a need for that, Dad. You don’t have to ask about my personal matters in the future.”

She had also yearned for her father’s love and care in the past. But all her fantasies had been shattered now.
