"Do whatever you want with the cellphone while I talk with Amos but you are not allowed to peep through my chats ok?" Joanna warned sternly.
"Big Sis, will you let me sleep over if I don't disturb you and Brother Kay while you talk to him?" Anthony implored innocently.
"Brother Kay?" Joanna asked with widened eyes. "How did you connect the knots that they are the same people?".
"Because he had the same scent as Brother Kay…,"
"But you have met him before so why didn't you recognise him then?" Joanna inquired, looking into Anthony's innocent eyes.
"I couldn't perceive his scent back then. I don't know what he did to hide his scent…,"
"If you love him as much as you always wanted me to believe then you will keep what you found out today just between the two of us ok?" Joanna asked. She did not look away from Anthony's eyeballs.
"Big Sis, you haven't answered whether you will let me sleep over with you tonight," Anthony said, deliberately not answering Joanna's question.
"Hey, silly boy, are you trying to threaten me with your requests huh?" Joanna tried to tickle Anthony but having expected this, he jumped off the couch and ran to stand at the back of the couch.
Anthony kept laughing without answering Joanna's question.
"Ok, Little rice ball. I concede defeat. You have won," Joanna said with her hands lifted above her head.
"As long as you promise to keep his identity a secret from everyone including your Mum and Dad, I will let you sleep over tonight…,"
"Yay!" He jumped up in excitement. Joanna gazed at him as he jumped up a few more times.
"If you are that excited to spend the night here then tell me…,"
"I promise I won't tell anyone that Brother Amos is actually Brother Kay," Anthony finally said the words Joanna wanted to hear.
"Always remember that Big Sis will be very angry at you if you disclose the secret to anyone ok," Joanna said.
Although Anthony was naturally smart he was still a child after all and the mind of a child can't be compared to that of an adult.
She had to make sure that he kept Amos' identity a secret.
"I will not let Big Sis down, I promise," He hits his chest firmly as he talks.
Joanna smiled at him. She swivelled and made her way to the bedroom door.
She halted just in front of the door and glanced behind her.
"Don't forget I said you shouldn't go through my chats ok?" Joanna spoke to the boy sitting on the couch with all his focus on the cell phone in his hand.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom "I won't, Big Sis," Anthony replied. He didn't take off his gaze from the phone as he spoke.
Joanna entered the bedroom and bolted the door from within.
Twisting around to look at where she saw him earlier, he wasn't standing there but instead he sat on the bed gazing at the window.
"Do you feel better after getting a smoke?" Joanna asked as she proceeded to where he sat.
"I don't," He replied coldly without sparing her a glance.
Joanna sat beside him and gazed at his face. She waited for him to turn and look at her but he didn't.
He acted like she wasn't present there.
"Are you so furious that I brought someone into your home without your permission that you won't spare me a glance?" Joanna asked, her gaze glued on his sideline; the only part of his face she had access to.
"If you are still angry even after I apologized I don't mind apologising again because I know I am at fault…,"
"Do you seriously think I am behaving this way because you brought them home without my permission?" Amos asked. He sprang up to his feet.
"Do you believe I am that petty…,"
"If you are not furious because of this then why are you so upset?" She demanded. She was holding back earlier because they were strangers around but now that they are gone she won't hold back again.
"You find it hard to talk to me or look at me ever since you met them in the house…,"
"If you don't know why I am acting this way then I think we shouldn't be having this conversation in the first place," Amos retorted. He turned to leave but was forced to a stop by a sudden embrace.
"Although I don't know why you are so furious, one thing I am aware of is that I won't be able to handle it if you ignored me," Joanna said, her grip around his waist growing firmer.
"Kay, you can punish me however you want. I won't complain but don't ignore me just like Drey did because I won't be able to take it," For the first time she decided to be honest about how she felt.
She almost lost her mind when Audrey cut off contact with her for days. She might really lose her sanity if Amos was to do the same thing to her.
Amos' chest tightened listening to her heartfelt words. He clenched his fist to suppress himself from doing what was on his mind.
He loves her a whole lot even more than he loves himself. As a king he was advised against ever developing such feelings since the first day of his reign but what can he do when his heart won't listen to him?
A year ago he didn't realise just how much he loved. Not until she disappeared for six months and he lost his mind did he realize that he loves her to the point of insanity.
For her sake, he could give up everything and do anything. He has been trying to make her realize this but the dense lady didn't realise how deep his love is no matter what he does.
There is nothing he hasn't done for the sake of winning her heart.
Anyways he couldn't blame her for treating him indifferently for years. Anyone who has gone through all she did would have done the exact thing.
Amos tried to unwrap her hand from his waist but she held on tightly.
"I won't run away so stop being naughty and let go," He said after another failed attempt to make her let go of him.
"Really?" Joanna asked suspiciously.
