Chapter 80: Blending with the crackling fire

Joanna was speechless at the big man's nonsense remark, and his current behavior somehow reminded her of Denny, who loved to talk nonsense, accompanied by a grieving expression, when he tried to make Mrs. Powel give what he wanted.

Overall, it was obvious that he would not give the blanket to her.

She tried to think of another way, but she did not want to disturb the rest of Mrs. Powel only to ask for a mattress and blanket as this time had already passed mid-night.

Pondering for a few moments if she should sleep in the same bed as him after what he did to her before, she then heard him sigh before saying, "I won't do anything to you, Joanna. Come sleep. It is already late. We need to rest after the many mishaps that we faced today. Or else you will be sick because of a lack of sleep that will make you unable to take care of that child again." Canillas tried to lure the stubborn woman by using the little boy that seemed to be adored by her.
