Opening her eyes in a daze, the strong dizziness made Joanna subconsciously speak out. She covered her sore neck and slowly got up, her eyes swept back and forth at the familiar surroundings. Is this... the living room of her home?

The fragmented memories began to gradually piece together. Last night, scenes of cloth movies that looked like clouds and mist appeared in my mind. Joanna stared at the thin blanket covering her body, the water cup on the table, and Nina who was sleeping on the sofa opposite. Her complex thoughts suddenly became clear and clear.

Joanna, who thought about the cause and effect of things, shook her head and smiled bitterly, causing trouble for Alan again.

Wrapped her collar, Joanna walked straight to the window and pushed open the wooden window. The bright sunlight instantly illuminated the entire dim living room. She squinted her eyes and supported her hands on the windowsill, enjoying the fresh air blowing from the cool breeze in the morning.

"Mom, are you back?"

At some point, Nina had woken up. She stood up from the sofa and whispered to Joanna by the window with sleepy eyes.

"Baby Nina, it was my mother's fault yesterday, and you even asked you to wait for the middle of the night and never come back. Can you forgive me?"

Joanna turned around and walked towards Nina on the sofa, stretched out her hands and hugged her in her arms and said guiltily.

"Mom, I was wrong yesterday. I should have apologized to you." Nina bit her lip and suddenly shed water in her eyes.

"Nina is such an obedient and sensible good boy, so her mother decided to accompany Nina today. No matter where you want to go or what you buy, my mother promises you." Joanna couldn't help but sighed in her nose.

"What if my mother was with me today, what should I do if the shop business?" Nina said with concern.

"Don't worry, the shop affairs were handled yesterday, and it doesn't matter if you suspend business today." Joanna said with relief and emotion.

"That's great" Nina finally couldn't hide the cheers in her heart.

Dang Dang Dang

At this time, Xia Lan appeared outside the living room inappropriately, holding a fork in her hand and hitting an empty plate reminding the mother and daughter that it was time to have breakfast.

"Brother Alan. Nina and I go to wash up first before going to the restaurant. I'm sorry to you." Joanna sorted out her emotions and said to Xia Lan a little embarrassedly.

Xia Lan nodded and left without saying a word.

"Can Mom ask Uncle Ugly to go out with us today?" After being excited, Nina sat on the sofa and put on her shoes. She asked Joanna with a cautious look on her face, "Otherwise, Uncle Ugly would be lonely at home alone."

"Of course I have already said that today is all decided by baby Nina," Joanna said with a smile.

"Mom is indeed the best mother in the world." Nina jumped up, hugged Joanna and couldn't help but kiss her fiercely.

After enjoying a simple breakfast of milk cereal and white bread, Nina and Joanna returned to the bedroom to dress up for a long time before walking down. Xia Lan sat alone in the living room. After seeing the figures of the mother and daughter, her eyes were temporarily suspended for a while. In fact, it was not a big deal that he was like this. Because Joanna changed her previous simplicity and rarely wore an elegant lilac dress, her slightly pink face was radiant, and her hair was carefully combed behind her head and tied into a dignified noble bun, as if she had turned back to the gentle and noble woman.

"Hehe... Did the ugly uncle be stunned just now?"

Nina was wearing a white dress and jumped to Xia Lan, and the neat bangs on her little head were flying.

Xia Lan touched Nina's head and nodded very honestly. In his eyes, Joanna now doesn't look like a mother who has given birth to a child. When she walks with Nina, she looks more like a pair of beautiful and cute sisters.

"Nina is obedient and don't tease Uncle Alan." Joanna's pretty face turned red, as if she had recalled what happened last night, and quickly called Nina to come to her side.

"Okay OK, okay?" Nina pouted and walked back to her mother's side. Then she became excited. "Let's go quickly. Let's go quickly. Yesterday, in class, I heard Pangpang say that there was a passing juggling troupe performance in Vanilla Square today. Maybe I won't be able to see it if I'm late."

...

...

"Brother Alan, I'm really sorry for what happened last night."

Walking in the lively streets where people are coming and going, Nina happily looked around at the surrounding stalls and shops, as if anything was full of fun in her eyes. Joanna and Xia Lan walked side by side, ignoring the gazes that others were looking at were intentional or unintentional.

"If it weren't for the careful care of Alan Ge, if Nina saw my ugly appearance, it would have a bad impact. Speaking of which, I'm such an unqualified mother." Joanna said with a slight tone.

Xia Lan seemed to have not heard of it. She just stared at Nina who was swinging around in front.

"Oh," Joanna sighed deeply and murmured with unidentified words. "I used to think I had left Gelves and could live a stable and stable life with Nina in Fian Town. Now I think I'm too naive."

She looked at the bustling streets with gaze. She seemed to have a hidden secret in her heart, but she was still unwilling to make it clear.

Xia Lan glanced at her. This woman with a strong appearance was actually very fragile inside. Or is it like this for all women of this type?

With her outstanding appearance and upbringing, even if she has children, she can easily remarry and live a wealthy life. However, she insists on supporting herself and her daughter, believing that she can live well without relying on anyone.

However, this world is not as beautiful as she imagined. Many things you don’t want to touch will come to you automatically.

"Madam Joanna is so coincidental that she has time to take her daughter out for fun today?"

When passing by the street, a patrol guard team of ten people happened to hit him head-on. The leader was a strong man in black uniform with a straight facial features and a cold face that was not angry and mighty. The first impression gave people a full sense of security. When he met Joanna, the smile on the corner of his mouth immediately destroyed his overall image because his smile was very uncomfortable.

"It turns out it's Chief Valk, Ri'an." Joanna's face changed, she forced a smile to greet the other party.

Valke looked Joanna up and down for a moment before smiling and said, "Mrs. Joanna seems to be in a good mood. It is rare to see you dress up so beautifully."

"Sir Valke has passed the award. If nothing else, I will take Nina to Vanilla Square to watch the performance of the juggling troupe." Joanna said calmly with a smile on her face.

"Is that?" Valke's smile became more and more intense. "Then I won't disturb your interest."

After hearing this, Joanna immediately left nervously and panic.

"By the way, Mrs. Joanna, do you need to think about the matters discussed last night?"

Suddenly, the voice of Valke behind her made Joanna stop. She did not look back, but continued to move forward.

"No, I've already thought it through."

"It's so regretful." Valk stared at Joanna's back and shook his head and smiled.

After saying this, Valke's hand slapped Alan on the shoulders of who had not had time to leave with Joanna.

"Alan"

Alan turned his head and looked at him calmly, the security captain of the neighborhood patrol guards.

"The world has been so chaotic lately. Have you heard of it? Fernal of Rye Street was killed the day before yesterday." Valk sighed with compassion: "As the security captain of this neighborhood, I will never let the murderer go to justice."

He patted Alan on the shoulder again, with a meaningful smell in his eyes, and then waved his hand to greet the team members to leave.

Xia Lan patted the gray layer on her shoulder, and her eyes under the bandage remained cold.

"Brother Alan is embarrassed to leave you just now." Joanna unexpectedly returned, holding the restless Nina in her hand, and quietly looked around with a nervous look. "By the way, Valk isn't it difficult for you, right?"

Xia Lan shook her head.

"Huh" Joanna immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt relaxed. "Let's go, this naughty guy, Nina, made me finally find it."

"It's obviously mother and ugly uncle, you are too slow," Nina protested dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes, yes, everything Nina said today is right," Joanna responded casually.

Nina snorted lightly, and a sly glowed in her eyes. She took advantage of Joanna's slackness and broke away with her hand and fled quickly, and even turned around and grimaced.

"This kid runs slowly and falls carefully." Joanna, who followed behind, reminded him angrily.

Vanilla Square.

A large number of children and parents gathered around the juggling troupe, and bursts of exclamations and applause were heard continuously. Whenever a program was finished, a funny clown would ask for rewards with a golden basin, and they would always return with a full load after a circle. There was no complicated concept of money for children. When seeing other children throw money to the clown, they would also unable to help but pull the parents around them to ask for money to reward. In the eyes of children, placing money to the clown is more like a game.

Since meeting Valke, Joanna has been a little absent-minded. Although she had easily concealed this in front of Nina, she could not hide it from Xia Lan's eyes.

He didn't ask because he was mute.

He didn't want to ask because he could roughly guess the relationship between the two.

It is rumored that a big man in the neighborhood fell in love with Joanna. There is no doubt that this so-called big man is probably Valk.

From the conversation between the two, Joanna's words and deeds to Valke's obscure threat in the end, the outline of the entire incident can be easily outlined.

It’s nothing more than a decree method that fails to be courted.

It's really too low-level and too boring.

There were countless people like Valk who killed Xialan, but it was once, and now there were enough people like Valk who could cause trouble for Xialan.

As the saying goes, beauty is a disaster, but it turns out to be true.

He was thinking about a question.

Whether it is necessary to leave Joanna and his daughter and fly away alone? To be continued.
