BXBX NOVEL Chapter 413 His Dreams
He opened his eyes, touched the ice cream with his right hand and jumped up when Joanna least expected.
He smeared her pretty face with the ice cream he touched.
HAHAHA!!!
He laughed and ran to stand beside Amos
HAHAHA!
He and Amos laughed at the frowning lady.
"Come here," She said and reached her hand to touch the two guys but they jumped backwards.
"How dare you both think you can gang up and bully me huh?" She shouted.
A few minutes later, the three of them were seen running around the less busy street.
Their laughter echoed in the air as they played around like kids who had no worries or whatever.
As Anthony was having fun, he didn\'t know that somewhere in a hospital in the city, his mother, sister and grandmother were fighting for their lives.
Just like she had promised, she took Amos and Anthony on a tour of some of the amazing places in the Kingdom.
Joanna dedicated the rest of the day to making the two men with her happy.
After the endless adventures they had, the three of them went to bed feeling satisfied and happy.
The next day, Joanna woke up at 8:00 am since it was a Sunday. She began her daily routine by cleaning Audrey\'s apartment.
And when she learned that Josephina would drop by to clean Amos\' home she offered to help him even though he rejected her suggestion at first.
"It takes nothing away from me if I clean your room. Besides, don\'t forget I have been doing this ever since I was four years old," She responded and smiled at him.
He tried to make her change her mind but Joanna didn\'t even allow him to do that.
She left Audrey\'s apartment and went to his apartment to get the job done.
She returned not long after and reunited with the two men again.
While Joanna tried to prepare breakfast with the little grocery they bought the previous day, Amos and Anthony were in the sitting room watching their favourite anime.
Joanna was in the middle of frying the eggs when she felt a presence behind her. She lowered the heat before she turned and looked at where the guy stood behind her.
"I thought I said you didn\'t have to join me in the kitchen so what are you doing here?" She questioned meekly.
He walked two steps forward so that the gap between them wasn\'t much.
"My parents were vampires and because of it, no food was ever cooked in my home. And that is why I don\'t know even the basic thing to do if a person wants to cook...,"
"And what does that have to do with what I said? Are you perhaps trying to make me feel guilty...,"
"Because it has always been my dream to prepare even the simplest breakfast for my wife," He blurted to Joanna\'s astonishment.
His words left Joanna speechless for two minutes. She blinked twice perceiving an almost burnt smell.
"Damn!" She cursed. Joanna spun and put off the gas cooker.
She stretched her hand and picked a flat porcelain white plate she had kept close by.
"Aren\'t Kings known to have great dreams so why are yours so different?" Joanna asked as she removed the egg from the pan and placed it on the plate.
"Yours aren\'t different from commoner\'s basic dream...,"
"Kings are people with feelings too, are they not?" He interrupted. He turned over and stood with his back leaning against the wooden stand in front of her.
"Although they will never voice it out, Kings also wished to do things normal couples do...," He trailed with his gaze focused on her face.
"Things like going on a walk holding hands, eating out in a fancy restaurant, teasing his beloved in front of so many people, recklessly defending his woman and so many other things out there. They wished they could do all these without having to worry about the rules of the palace that is bidding them...,"
"Those rules they are afraid of breaking were set by someone, were they not?" Joanna cut in abruptly.
She took her gaze off what he was doing and peered at his face.
"They are Kings and as such have the powers to abolish or make new rules favourable to them so why has none of them ever done that instead of suffering in silence...,"
"Changing rules that have been in existence since the establishment of the Kingdom is not as easy as you think...,"
"And I never said they were easy, did I?" She asked, her eyes locked with his.
"Also, haven\'t you demonstrated several times that you are not the kind to get tied down by the palace rules and regulations when you snuck to visit me every night so what are you afraid of hmm?" She muttered and winked at him naughtily.
She carried the dish and transferred it to the kitchen counter where she placed the bread she had already sliced into sizable pieces.
"Apart from being the most compassionate King, you are also the most shameless King the kingdom has ever produced so I don\'t think the palace rules will be able to hinder our relationship," She added.
She picked up the clean knife from where she kept it. She used the knife to neatly cut the fried egg and placed it on top of the sliced bread.
Amos left the stand he leaned against and strolled to where she stood with his hands stuck in his trouser\'s pockets.
"You haven\'t officially become my wife and you have started encouraging me to disobey the palace rules. Should our people be worried about this or not?" He asked playfully.
Joanna momentarily shifted her gaze to look at the man standing beside her. "I have never received the training of a Queen so that\'s not my fault," She found a perfect defence for herself.
"Also, instead of complaining or being worried they should be grateful that they will have this benevolent and virtuous lady as their Queen," Joanna said with her neck cocked to the side and her shoulders raised a bit higher than usual.
