How to Get a Wife

Chapter 273 Let Bygones Be Bygones

"I see. What do you need me to do?" Clyde didn't like to poke his nose into other people's business, but he couldn't just sit back and do nothing when it came to Joanna.

"I have arranged everything well. You just need to pretend to know nothing, and cooperate with the Gao group as usual. "

"I see. Then I'll go back first."

After Clyde left the Wan Group, he called Joanna. He wanted to have a try, no matter whether she would confess to him what had happened over the past few years or not. 'It was because I was not by her side to protect her that she suffered these hardships.

"Clyde, sorry for keeping you waiting," While she was having class today, she received a call from Clyde, who told her that there was something very important to discuss and invited her for dinner. Even though she didn't know what had happened, Clyde seldom got so impulsive. In addition, the place where she would meet him was not far from her classroom, so Joanna went out on time.

"Have something to eat first. Take a seat and don't starve yourself." Clyde said with concern. "I've heard that the professor who teaches you is very strict. What's going on? Can you handle it? "

"It's okay. I can adapt to it now." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"That's good. I heard that although the professor is very strict, he is very powerful. So you must be able to learn something useful."

"I understand. But why did you ask me out in a hurry?" Joanna continued eating and asked casually.

Clyde paused, but then he smiled and said, "Nothing. I'm just suddenly interested in your life before I came back. I wonder how you had been doing those years." Clyde looked carefully at the expression on Joanna's face, obviously, she paused. He immediately guessed that she didn't tell him everything.

Seeing that Joanna did not answer his question, Clyde continued asking, "what's wrong? Is there any unspeakable reason? Can't you tell me? "

"No, of course not..." Afraid that Clyde might misunderstand her, Joanna explained, "I'm fine. Everyone is nice to me."

Seeing that Joanna was obviously lying, Clyde felt a sharp pain in his heart. He knew that she would bear it without a word. There had been no change in so many years. He didn't know how much injustice she had suffered during the years he was absent. Although Helen had found many things, there must be something that they hadn't found out.

"What do you mean good? Clearly, they didn't treat you well."

Explained Joanna hurriedly. She didn't want Clyde to worry about her. "No, they are really nice to me..."

"You're lying. I know. Please don't hide it from me." It was the first time in Clyde's life that he got angry with Joanna. In the past, no matter how naughty she was, he would only patiently teach her. He had never been so angry, which shocked her.

"Sera forced you to take the responsibility of Emily's child and threw you out of the house. Emily even dared to kidnap you. And you say it's nice?" Do you really know how to protect yourself? If I didn't ask you, would you keep it as a secret all the time? "

Clyde voice was so loud that Joanna couldn't even react. Now the only words in her mind was 'he knows everything'. Coupled with his angry voice, she didn't dare to say a word.

Seeing the timid expression on her face, he knew that he had overreacted, so he gradually calmed down. "I'm sorry, Joanna. It's my bad. I'm too excited. Please don't mind it."

Joanna shook his head, "I don't blame you. I know you care about me, but you just came back recently. There are a lot of work in the company. I don't want to affect you because of me. That's why I have kept it from you. Besides, those things have passed, and I have left Gong family. You see, I'm living a good life. Let the past be the past. I don't want to look into it anymore. Just let it go. "

Clyde felt bad for what had happened. He knew that Joanna was kind-hearted and she didn't want to hurt anyone, but he couldn't accept such a fact. So he must help Helen to destroy the Gao group and the Gong family.

Clyde didn't blame Sera for abandoning him. After all, he was not the child of the Gong family at all, and he wasn't even the child of Sally. But after all, Joanna was the biological child of Sally, and before she died, she had entrusted Joanna to Jone. But this happened when he was out these years.

"Is there anything else you haven't told me?"

"Nothing else. I'm really fine. It's not a big deal. I don't mind."

As Joanna noticed the disbelief on his face, she continued, "No. you really don't have to worry about me. If there is something wrong, Wilson will handle it. Clyde, you can make a girlfriend if you have time. You're so handsome. Then you can stop talking about me all the time."

What Joanna said reminded Clyde of something. He almost forgot that she was engaged. No matter what happened to her, it had nothing to do with him. He shouldn't worry about it.

"It's not easy to make a girlfriend. I like her, but maybe she doesn't like me," Then Clyde sighed and thought, 'it's time to stop loving Joanna. It won't have any result. Why should I look for trouble?'

But he only liked Joanna since he was a child. Even when he was bullied in the past, Joanna is the reason why he didn't give up. After all, the emotion lasted more than twenty years. It was impossible to

forget it so easily.

"How can it be? You are so handsome, so powerful and rich. There must be a lot of girls who like you." What Joanna said was completely unnecessary. A man like Clyde would find his girlfriend soon.

"Their purpose is not simple."

If she only liked his appearance, money and power, he would rather give up such a person. The reason why he fell in love with Joanna was that she was different from other girls for she had a fresh and elegant temperament.

Joanna didn't know how to answer Clyde's question. She couldn't have a future with him. In fact, she was not sure whether she could meet him or not. She didn't want Wilson to be jealous about their relationship. But she knew that if she didn't take any action against Clyde all of a sudden, he would overthink it. Things might get more serious at that time.
