Chapter 988 Get Out of The Trouble

Bonnie turned her head and looked at him, “What are you doing?”

Joshua did not say anything, tugged at the hem of her pyjamas, and did not let go of it. He did not say
what he wanted, and Bonnie thought he acted like a spoiled child.

Bonnie crouched down and shook her hem, “Stop it.”

“Stay with me for a while,” Joshua raised his head and smiled. He was afraid she did not agree to stay
with him, so he tugged at her hem again. He looked like a child who did not grow up.

Bonnie felt helpless and amused and said, “Alright.”

She put down the pillow and laid on the bed again. Joshua put his arms around her and talked to her
about his childhood, and then they fell asleep.

When Joshua woke up, he was alone in the room and did not know when Bonnie left.

He got up from the bed, washed up, and went downstairs.

Everybody was already up.

Amanda and Bonnie were in the kitchen to prepare breakfast while Armand was watering flowers on
the balcony.

“Where's everyone? Where did they all go?” Joshua asked while walked to downstairs.

Armand turned his head to look at him, “You've got up. Bonnie and Amanda are in the kitchen.”

“I'm asking about my dad and mom.”



“Dolores and Theresa went for a walk. The two should have something to discuss. As for Matthew, he
went out early in the morning, and I'm not sure what's his purpose,” Armand put down the watering can
and walked over to him, “When are you going to pick up your parents-in-law?”

Joshua poured a glass of water, sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, “There's still some time for it. I've
phone contacted them, and they said they'll come over themselves and don't need us to pick them up.
They said I'm just taking the trouble if I do that.”

Armand sat on the sofa and looked at him, “You parents-in-law are very good to you.”

Then he lamented, “It will be better if your brother could also come back home.”

“I've called Noah, and he said it was temporarily unable to contact Andrew, but he always got in
contacted with him.”

Noah and Dolores were cousins, so the younger generation called him uncle Noah.

“Hey, you're the only child of the three children who did not make your parents worry,” Armand said.

Amanda had just experienced such a miserable matter while Andrew's job was peculiar and
dangerous.

Dolores wanted to pray for the safety of her children, so she set up a shrine in Thailand. She would
pray in the morning and evening.

If people believed, God was there. Otherwise, God was not. Dolores wanted to take comfort from
praying.

“Armand, what did you just say?” Amanda walked out of the kitchen.

Her eyes were still a little red. Everyone knew she must have cried, but nobody asked her about that.



They knew everything thoroughly within themselves.

Armand smiled, “You have sharp ears. I was talking in the living room, and you could hear it in the
kitchen. Have you eavesdropping?”

“You said it loudly, and I've no eavesdropped,” Amanda looked at Joshua, “Go help Bonnie. I'm going to
call mom and Theresa for breakfast.”

Joshua got up from the sofa, “Okay.”

“You're a good man, knows to love your wife,” Armand said with a smile, and Joshua turned his head
and looked at him, “You're a good model for me.”

Armand laughed.

Theresa and Dolores were outside of the house. The two said they wanted to walk for a while, but
actually, they wanted to talk secretly without the presence of Amanda.

They talked about Joshua's wedding and Amanda's matter. They were afraid that Amanda would be
upset since she still had a knot in her heart.

Theresa and Dolores still wanted to say something, but they stopped talking when they saw Amanda
walking over to them, “Breakfast is ready. Let's go in and eat.”

“Okay,” Theresa smiled. She did not ask about what happened to her last night and did not mention a
word about her matters.

It was like the incident of Stanford had not happened.

Amanda walked over and took Dolores's arm. She said with a tone of guiltiness, “Mom didn't have a
good sleep last night.”



They did not sleep last night.

Dolores held Amanda's hand in her hand and did not say anything because no words were necessary.

They entered the house. The breakfast was already on the table. Everyone sat at the table, and they
were in with a tacit understanding to not mention the matters of Amanda and Stanford.

“Was my dad going out early in the morning?” Joshua put a glass of milk in front of Dolores.

Dolores said to him, “He went out to meet someone.”

“Who is it?” Joshua asked.

“Joan.”

Matthew knew that Amanda was taken care of by Joan when she was in Thailand. The two of them
were already familiar with each other. So they made an appointment with Joan for breakfast in the
morning since Joan was in the country.

They had breakfast in the restaurant of the hotel where Joan was staying.

“Thank you so much for taking care of my daughter.”

They sat in the window seat of the hotel restaurant. Joan had the same imposing aura as young
Matthew. His charm did not suppress by Matthew, who was sitting opposite him.

“I should be the one to thank you,” Joan said after a moment of silence, “If it isn't for your help last time,
I wouldn't have been able to get through it safely.”

The Morton family not only had a large fortune accumulated for many generations, and they also had a
family business. However, Joan focused on politics. Although he was still able to handle the company
matters, there were some times he would make mistakes.



However, the trouble last time was not a mistake he made, and it was his political opponent who set
him up. With the help of Matthew, Joan could keep the business and get out of trouble.
