Chapter 1013

“It’s been a long time since I last smoked. Well, I suddenly felt like having one.”

Joanna rolled her eyes at him. “Look at you. You always go back on your word. You agreed to quit smoking, but here you are secretly smoking behind my back.”

“Alright, honey, I won’t smoke again.”

“Darling…” She looked at him with a hint of sadness as she sat on his lap..

“What’s wrong?” He gently picked up a strand of her hair, twirling it around his fingers.

“Sigh, are you really leaving tomorrow morning?”

“Silly, how many times have you asked that already? Are you so reluctant to part with your husband?”

“Sigh!” She let out another sigh while her gaze was filled with distress. “I’ve been feeling uneasy all this time. You know, something just doesn’t feel right, especially with Devin crying so much for no reason. It doesn’t seem auspicious, does it? Why don’t you reconsider going to Melta?”

He could not help but laugh, “Haha, you’re overthinking things.”

“It’s not just that! It has been very chaotic in Melta lately, and many people there have been attacked.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t be going to the slums. Besides, I’ll be taking Darcy and the others with me. Everything will be fine,” he said, trying his best to reassure her.

However, she still felt uneasy. “How about… you go there a little later?” “No, I can’t delay it any longer.”

She fell silent, staring at him with wide eyes, as if pondering something.

They gazed at each other for a while.
