Chapter 78 – Seizing the Moment
"What makes you think I'm going to let them off the hook for what they planned to do to you?" Alex asked coldly, Joanna's eyes were wet with unshed tears.
The understanding that Alex didn't care that their plan didn't come to fruition. He was focused on the potential harm they intended to cause Joanna. This was his motivation for seeking revenge.
"Thank you for trusting me," Joanna replied.
Alex was disappointed that she had doubted his commitment to protecting her.
Wasn't it clearly stated in the contract that he would safeguard her as long as she was his wife?
Or had she simply pretended to have read it? "You are my wife, so I will always protect you," he stated seriously.
However, Joanna wished he hadn't mentioned the contractual aspect, as it implied his protection would cease once the contract ended.
"I understand," Joanna responded bitterly, yearning for more but unable to voice her desires.
