Chapter 207 Hard Work
Chapter 207 Hard Work
After dinner, Joanna began to practice in front of the mirror again. Seeing that, Wilson couldn't help worrying about her.
"Honey, you must be tired. Go to bed early." Seeing that she had worked so hard, Wilson was very delighted. Wilson knew that Joanna would never fudge her effort out of self-esteem, but he still didn't want her to work so hard and get too tired.
Recently, Joanna suffered more severe dark circles under her eyes. Every time he woke up, she was still awake for practice what she had learnt in the course. Wilson saw every effort she made, and his heart ached. He couldn't help but blame himself in his heart that what Helen had requested to make Joanna look so haggard.
"Don't worry about me. I want to practice for one more hour. I have got familiar with the family rules and family profile in the morning and now I need to do the review." Joanna dared not relax at all. Kitty reminded her that if she failed the test this week, her study would be even more difficult. .
In order not to be looked down upon by Helen, Joanna had to work hard. She believed that she would be able to do well in her study, even though she had never learnt such things before.
"But..." Wilson still wanted to say something, but was pushed away by Joanna.
"Don't be so long winded. I will go to bed early. You have been working all day. Go to bed first. Don't worry about me."
Wilson knew it was useless to persuade her now and then. Since Joanna couldn't be persuaded once she had made up her mind, Wilson decided to forget about it and go for a bath.
After Wilson went into the bathroom, Joanna began to practice again. After a whole afternoon's practice, Joanna was much more proficient in smiling. She could almost do it without the aid of
chopsticks, but in order to keep the smile steady, she had to do with the chopsticks. After the practice, it was eleven p.m. Joanna went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then went to the study with the learning materials she brought back.
When Wilson woke up again at midnight, it was almost 1 a.m. He reached for the bed beside himself and found it was empty.
Guessing that Joanna was still studying, he sighed, got out of bed and saw the light coming out from the crack between the door of the study. He fetched a glass of milk from the kitchen and brought it to the study.
Hearing some noise at the door, Joanna raised her head and saw Wilson walking in with a cup of milk in his hand.
"Are you still awake?"
"I woke up in the middle of the night. I guessed that you are still studying as you hadn't come back to the room yet, so I heated the milk. Drink it while it is tepid." Passing the cup to her, Wilson sat on the chair in front of the desk.
"Thank you." She took it over and had a sip. She felt refreshed at the sight of the alarm clock on the table. "I didn't notice it is so late." With that thought, Joanna smiled to Wilson, hoping to muddle through.
"From now on, I will cut electricity supply at 11 p.m. If you don't sleep on your own, I have many ways to make you obedient."
Joanna secretly looked at the face of Wilson. It was the first time for her to see him so serious to her, but thinking carefully, she was indeed wrong. He had been worried about her during these days.
"I'm sorry. I'll listen to you from now on. I promise I'll go to bed before 11 p.m. It's all my fault today. Don't be mad. I'm going to sleep now. Let's go back to the room now. "
As Wilson watched Joanna talk to him obsequiously and talk softly, Wilson softened his tone.
"Babe, go back to the room first. I'll take the glass to the kitchen."
When Wilson returned to the bedroom, Joanna was almost asleep. Knowing that she was too tired, Wilson was so worried. It seemed that he had to have a talk with Helen. As he heard from Joanna that she seemed to have a lot of lessons. If it went on like this, sooner or later she would not be able to bear it.
Wilson uncovered the quilt and climbed onto the bed, holding Joanna in his arms. Feeling her body temperature, she found a comfortable posture and fell asleep.
"Good night..."
What answered him was the rhythmic breathing of Joanna. Wilson stroked her hair and sighed softly.
He knew that it was not easy for Joanna herself to accept her own origin. Although she did not show any anxiety directly, he knew that she had been keeping these thoughts in her heart. Now that Richard and his mother had been put in prison, Wilson finally took revenge for his beloved family, and he finally completed the mission he had been waiting for so many years. After that, he would focus his life on Joanna and do everything to make her happier. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Helen wasn't surprised to receive Wilson's appointment, as she had expected it long ago.
"Mr. Wilson, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
When Wilson walked up to her, he saw her elegant posture. Although Helen was over sixty years old, she looked only in her forties. He could tell that she always took good care of her skin. However, Wilson always felt that there was always a knife hidden behind the smile of Helen, who had been in the cruel commercial world for so many years and lived a good life. She must be shrewd and sophisticate.
"I didn't expect that either. But I have something to tell you. It would be better if I could personally talk to you. I'm sorry to let you take time out of your busy schedule to see me."
"It doesn't matter. I like to communicate with smart one. You are always so clever. I also feel relaxed to communicate with you."
Wilson of course got the meaning of her words. She just wanted him not to get thing straight. But this was about the matter of Joanna. He could still speak what he thought even at the risk of offending Helen.
"I have a request. As for the matter that you train Joanna, I know you are doing it out of a good intention. You want her to be qualified to inherit the corporation in the future. But she hasn't gone through such experience for so many years, so she can't bear such heavy lessons. I hope you can consider adjusting the courses for Joanna. Don't push her too hard."
Hearing that, Helen raised her eyebrows, hinting him to go on talking.
"Perhaps you don't know her well. She is a persistent person. Now that she decided to learn from you about management skills, she will try her best to do whatever you ask her to do. But recently, she has been working very hard. She is haggard because of it. Even if the result is not very promising, I still hope you can give her more time. Don't push her too hard and spare more time and space for her. "
