Chapter 680
Joanne was seen leaning on the stone table with her head hanging lowly. Edwin was only able to
see the side of her face from that angle and could not see her expression at all.
Her wispy figure made her look like an abandoned kitten; lonely and helpless.
It was winter, yet she was leaning on the ice-cold stone stool and table after she had just taken
the abortion pill?
Did she really think she was that strong and healthy, or had she fallen asleep on it?
Joanne leaned on the table, grimacing. Her eyebrows knitted tightly together as she looked at
the time, noting that it was past three-thirty in the evening.
She took a deep breath, in and out, and realized that she could not go through with the
procedure.

She was still deep in her thoughts when a figure appeared at her side, effectively blocking the
sun rays shining on her.
Joanne instinctively grabbed her face mask and sunglasses to put them on, but before she could do that, a man
grabbed onto her wrist.
"Joanne Winters!" he snarled through gritted teeth.
"Present!" Joanne responded almost immediately, like a reflex.
She then looked at Edwin and was stunned. Her expression twisted together as if she had just seen a ghost.
"M...Mister Atherton?" she stammered. "It's you! Are... you here to see the doctor, too?"
Edwin noted how her lips trembled, her face paled, and felt her hands cold. He suppressed his anger and took off
his jacket to put it on her.
"Why didn’t you tell me?"
Joanne felt the sudden warmth from the oversized jacket. As the jacket enveloped her petite body, the air
surrounding her was filled with the scent of his cologne.
She looked at him, shocked. "Tell you what?"
Edwin pursed his lips together and glared at her, as if saying, 'Go on, keep acting.'

'Did he know about the pregnancy?'
It was to be expected since he was the boss of a female celebrity after all.
Joanne bit her lip as her round almond eyes looked down on the ground. "Don't worry, this won't affect the
company's image," she spoke. "I've already-"
"Who gave you the permission to abort the baby before discussing it with me?" Edwin's hand had formed into a fist.
Abort? Hold on. Why did she have to get his permission?
Joanne's eyes shot up from the ground as she looked at him, perplexed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing as his face was stern and grim, she pretended to joke casually, "Ahaha, what a great
boss you are, caring so much about your employee's private life! However, this baby is mine,
and it's my choice to do so. The doctor had also mentioned to me that I'm in perfect health and
could give birth to a team of soccer players if I want to..."
Edwin’s face got progressively darker by the second," You can abort it whenever you want?
Have you considered me?”
"You?" Joanne blinked at him, confused.
A second later, Joanne felt a bomb had just landed on her, and her head was about to explode.
Her round eyes widened as she stared at him.
She must have heard wrong.
Joanne fell silent as her eyes glued onto Edwin.
Edwin took a deep breath and took her icy-cold hand. " Since you're able to make Grandma
happy, let's do it. Pack your things, and let's go to the county’s office."
