Chapter 22 - To Marry Luna Jiang (2/2)

”What's up, Joanna?”

She frowned in annoyance as she walked and sat on the chair across his desk. Hero wasn't concerned about her expression. Joanna frequently looked annoyed whenever she paid him a visit. He understood her feelings perfectly, and he couldn't blame her for it.

”You are still here? I thought we had an agreement that you'll visit Amber at the hospital?” Joanna pushed a stray lock of her hair away from her face. The silver pendant on her neck, which was given by their mother, gleamed above her ċhėst.

”Didn't you say she will come home tomorrow? What's the point of visiting her now if she's going home later?” Hero examined the new files that Daryl left on his table.

”The least you could have done for your daughter is to pay her a visit. Is it really hard for you to make time for her? Don't you care what happens to her?”

”Of course, I do. She's my child regardless if I could be a father to her or not.”

”And you choose to ignore that problem. I don't know, Hero. I'm telling you I cannot look after your kid forever.” Her eyes were filled with bitterness. She'd sacrificed a lot of time to help Hero, and she wanted to do something for herself now.

”I'm aware of that.” Hero paused, ”I'm considering to get married soon.”

Joanna's mouth tightened as if she was expecting Hero to say it.

”Was there something you wanted to ask?”

”Daryl said you're interested in a woman you just met recently. I do hope you aren't planning to marry Veronica. I don't like how she treats Amber. It's like your child is a nuisance to her.”

”Who said I'm planning to marry that woman? She isn't the one I wanted to marry.”

Of course, the one he had on mind was none other than the elusive Luna Jiang.
