Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)

Chapter 1678: The Worst Woman

Chapter 1678: The Worst Woman

Reuben followed behind Joyce, looking around. "Strange, why is she alone here? Did she get

separated from her family?"

"I'll ask," Joyce thought the same.

She crouched down, using the gentlest tone and a soft voice. "Little one, why are you crying? Is there

something I can help with?"

The little girl stopped crying and slowly raised her head.

Her big eyes were filled with glistening tears.

When she saw Joyce, she stopped sobbing and stared at her intently.

In that instant when Joyce saw the little girl raise her head, she was instantly stunned.

What a beautiful little girl, so delicate and lovely. Her big eyes, with their dark pupils, seemed to reflect

the figure of a person. Every feature on her face was exquisitely refined.

Most importantly, why did she feel such a strong sense of familiarity? Looking at the little girl, she was

reminded of Anderson from her childhood. It had to be said that they shared many similarities in their

features. It made her think of her missing daughter, Iris. Imagining that if Iris had grown up, she might

look similar to the little girl in front of her.

Joyce's lips trembled slightly. The little girl had been crying and calling out "Mommy" in a soft, pitiful

voice, filled with fear and terror. It almost broke Joyce's heart.

This little girl had a mother.

Joyce asked gently, "Little one, are you unable to find your mommy?"

The little girl nodded, then shook her head.

Joyce was taken aback. What did it mean to nod and then shake her head?

"Do you know your mommy's phone number?" Joyce asked again.

The little girl shook her head.

"How about I take you to the lost and found center in the department store? We can broadcast a

message there to find your mommy, okay?" Joyce took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to the

little girl. "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you if we encounter any bad people."

The little girl took the tissue, wiped her tears, and then wiped her runny nose.

She suddenly stared at Joyce, looking left and right.

Finally, she stood up abruptly and pushed Joyce forcefully. "No, you're wrong. You're a bad person! Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Mommy said you're the worst woman in the world! Stay away from me!"

Joyce was taken aback, unable to react in time. Afraid of hurting the little girl, she had to step back.

The little girl ran away in front of her, heading towards the depths of the aisle.

Joyce stood up, about to chase after her.

Reuben stopped her. "She doesn't appreciate it, why do you insist on getting close?"

"She's just a child, and it's dangerous for her to be alone in the department store." Joyce shook off

Reuben's hand. "Don't stop me, I must help her find her parents. Otherwise, I'll have to call the police."

"You're overthinking it, she has already found them," Reuben pointed to the end of the corridor.

Joyce followed Reuben's direction and looked over.

She saw a woman in black picking up the little girl from earlier. The little girl had a smile on her face as

she reached out and hugged the woman's neck.

Indeed, the little girl had found her mommy.

Joyce breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at the woman's back and, for some reason, a strong feeling of familiarity rushed over her.

Why did that figure look so familiar? In a daze, she thought of the woman she had only seen from

behind twice on the helicopter. She felt that there was a resemblance.

She shook her head.

How could that be possible? That wicked woman couldn't possibly be here. She must be overthinking

things.

But now that the little girl had found her family, she felt relieved.

Everything had happened so quickly.

Now that she had come back to her senses, she thought back carefully, and the appearance of the little

girl from earlier did seem very familiar.

An inexplicable sense of familiarity, a strange sense of closeness, and even a hint of pain in her heart.

What was going on?

She took a deep breath. She must have been thinking too much.

Ever since returning from Mufron, she had been thinking day and night, Anderson was constantly on

her mind, but she didn't want to express it too much in front of Luther, not wanting to add to his

pressure and burden.

"Joyce, where are you going now? Can I treat you to dinner? I didn't properly thank you for what

happened with my grandfather last time. When we met at the nursery, I was just dropping off Kiki and

didn't have a chance to say hello to you. Tonight, let me treat you..." Reuben's words were interrupted

by Darrin.

"She won't go. We have other plans," hesaid, cutting off Reuben. After that, Darrin stood in front of

Joyce, keeping anyone with unknown intentions away from her, especially those related to Rohomes.

Grizela glanced at Darrin disdainfully and muttered under her breath, "Hmph, who cares."

Joyce smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but I do have other things to attend to tonight. Besides, I just

happened to help your grandfather. It wasn't a big deal, so you don't have to keep it on your mind."

Reuben insisted, "A drop of water in need deserves a gushing spring in return, not to mention saving a

life. Joyce, I will express my gratitude to you."

Darrin, on guard, looked at Reuben and pulled Joyce's arm. "Commander, we should leave."

Joyce nodded.

At this time, Grizela approached with Kiki.

Joyce waved goodbye to Kiki. "Goodbye, Kiki."

Kiki showed a sweet smile. "Goodbye, Auntie. Auntie, don't forget to talk to Andres, okay? Please, let

him talk to me. I won't bother him. I just want to play with him."

Joyce smiled at Kiki. "Okay, I understand. I'll talk to him when I go back. Bye bye."

After saying that, she stood up and left with Darrin.

Reuben watched Joyce enter the elevator and fell into deep thought.

Grizela stood by his side. "Your Highness, Joyce's bodyguard is quite capable."

"Of course, someone inferior to Joyce doesn't deserve to be by her side," Reuben said with a hint of

intrigue in his expression. He became more interested in her. The sharpshooter, he really wanted to

witness whether she was as formidable as the legends said.

Grizela looked at Reuben worriedly. If His Highness was really interested in this married woman, what

should she do? That woman named Joyce not only had a child but also seemed to be pregnant.

Otherwise, why would she be buying baby supplies?

His Highness was truly blinded by her. No, she had to find a way to make him see the truth.

"Your Highness, we came here with an important purpose. There have been developments on Suzuki's

side. If they obtain the electromagnetic pulse technology before us, we will be at a disadvantage.

Please focus on these matters first, Your Highness," Grizela reminded dutifully.

"I'm doing the most serious thing," Reuben glanced at Grizela. "You've wasted your efforts. And keep

an eye on Darrin, who is with Joyce. Find out more about him."

"Yes," Grizela responded.
