Bedding My Vampire Mate

Chapter 437 A Cat At Your Window?



Mr Anderson whose thoughts were disrupted by her hurried footsteps raised his gaze and peered at the lady now standing at the foot of the stairs.

"And where are you going?" He demanded coldly. "Do you have plans of waking the entire household up?".

His cold gaze moved from her face to the black jacket she was wearing.

"A cat is meowing at my window. I won't be able to get a wink of sleep if I don't get rid of it right now," Joanna lied. She pulled the jacket down so that it reached her waistline.

"A cat at your window?" Mr Anderson raised an eyebrow. He didn't look convinced by her lie at all.

"You want to get rid of a cat and you are dressed like that?"

"I fall sick easily so I need to dress warmly. The moon goddess has been unfair to me and that is why I never got to inherit your bloodline...,"

"Stop spewing nonsense and go chase the cat away," Mr Anderson cut her short angrily.

He returned his gaze to the glass of whiskey in front of him without paying her any attention anymore.

[I guess I was worried for nothing]

Joanna forced a smile and tried not to show how disappointed she was.

She has indeed grown past the stage where she cries for his love and attention but there are still times she feels like she does today.

Because Mr Anderson didn't care about whatever happened to her he didn't hear that Joanna's footsteps were heading towards the gate.

Reaching outside Joanna only saw a black unfamiliar car parked close to the gate. Her expression fell in a flash when she didn't see Amos around.

"Why didn't it ever occur to me that he was lying?" Joanna muttered.

She felt like giving herself a tight slap on the face at that moment but she controlled her hands with all she has got.

"You are such a fool for falling for his lies Joanna Anderson. Could there be a bigger fool than you?" Joanna chided herself.

She turned to walk back to the gate.

Joanna halted on her third step when she got a whiff of a familiar scent.

"And who is this fool that you are talking about that I am not aware of huh?" His playful voice made Joanna's heart skip for a moment.

A sweet smile spread across her face. She stayed that way for a minute before she slowly turned around.

She thought that one minute was enough to calm herself but she realised she wasn't the slightest bit calm when she got a glimpse of his face.

Her heart pounded hard against her chest and before she knew it, she had hopped onto the body of the smiling guy.

"I know you missed me but I didn't know that you missed me to this extent…,"

"Hey!" Joanna shouted. She hit his right shoulder slightly but she refused to come down off his body.

"What took you so long to come here?" She demanded softly.

"I know you are happy to see me and I am twice as happy as you but I am scared your father will come out and drag you away so keep your voice a bit low ok?" Amos cautioned as he wrapped his hand around her body.

He took a sniff of her natural body scent that he has gotten addicted to.

"I am not afraid of him...,"

"I do and this is because I want to stay with you a bit longer," He smiled and walked to the car with Joanna still on his body.

One would think Joanna was light as a feather because of the way he carried her.

Reaching the car Amos carefully placed her on the bonnet of the car. He let go of her and tried to walk away but Joanna circled her hand around his neck.

He was trapped with no way to go.

"I have missed you," She confessed, her eyes locked on his. She bent and pecked his lips and pulled back almost immediately.

"Things weren't as easy as I expected and as such, I had to stay behind longer than I had planned...," Amos trailed. He leaned in and wrapped his hand around her slender waist.

"I was so engrossed in what I was doing that I lost track of time. You should have been there to see the shock on my face when I realised that it was quite late," He relayed.

What he didn't tell her was that he made it here so early only because he abandoned Kyle at their hideout.

"Has the issue been resolved?" Joanna asked a bit seriously. She played with the tips of his curly hair as she waited for his reply.

"No. To be honest, things have gotten a bit complicated...,"

"I have told you that I am more than ready to help. I can be of great use to you and your men so don't hesitate to use me...,"

"It hasn't gotten to that extent yet," He blurted.

[No matter how powerful you are, how can I ever bear to put you in harm's way?... I would rather put myself in danger than let any harm comes to you]

Amos raised his hand and patted the strands of hair away from her face. He carefully tugged it behind her left ear.

"Also, I might have to elongate my vacation if things don't improve...,"

"Really?" Joanna shouted with a broad smile on her face.

She quickly got rid of her smile when she noticed the way Amos gazed at her.

"I meant you said some minutes ago that the issue wasn't so serious but why does it sound like it is...,"

"It's because things are still within our control at the moment. To me as long as we are not losing in this game I don't believe it's serious," Amos expressed and forced a smile.

There was momentary silence afterwards. Joanna has tons of questions but she believed the case might be confidential. Asking him about the details will only make things difficult for Amos.

The atmosphere might turn awkward because of this and this is something she didn't want to happen.
