He mustered up the courage and walked closer to where she sat. He reached out his hand and held Joanna's right hand laid beside her right leg.
"It's fine if you don't want to eat but are you gonna starve me too?" He pouted his lips and faked a pitiful expression.
Joanna's anger melted when she looked into Anthony's eyes.
"You always said having meals on time is good for kids' growth and development. I am still growing…,"
"Are you trying to lecture me now hmm?" Joanna questioned.
Merely hearing that her tone has returned to normal made the two guys happy.
"Also, are you afraid that not having your meal will hinder your growth and development?" She asked and pulled him closer.
Despite being so happy Anthony forced himself not to smile. He knew this wasn't the right time to smile.
Their second mission to make her have breakfast hasn't been completed so how could he just rejoice?
"Hmmm…," He shook his head affirmatively. "For me to grow and develop into someone like Brother Amos, I need to eat properly," He responded. A sweet smile lingered on his face as he hugged Joanna's waist.
"So your dream is to become like me huh, little man?" Amos asked playfully. He felt relaxed seeing that Joanna has opened up to them again.
He was scared for a minute there that he might have a hard time appeasing her. Thank goodness he had Anthony there to help him out.
"If that's your dream then you still have a long way to go. You need to work harder than you have ever done…,"
"Wait, are you trying to discourage my little rice ball or do you believe that he can't have the same body built as you when he grows up?" Joanna frowned at him while she pats Anthony's hair.
Amos was about to rashly give his answer when his eyes met Joanna's piercing eyeballs.
Looking at her, he was smart enough to know that his response will determine how she will react at that moment.
"Of course not. Werewolves are known for their well-built body so why would my brother-in-law's case be different?" Amos quizzed smiling.
"Brother-in-law?" The two siblings yelled at the same time startling Amos with their synced question.
Their questioning stares made him hesitate on replying.
"You are my mate, that means you are as good as being my wife…,"
"A mate is a mate and a wife is a wife. Never mistake the two to mean the same thing cause they are not," Joanna replied sternly.
She stood up and tried to walk away but he grabbed her hand.
"Where are you going?" He asked softly. "Are you angry because of what I said…,"
"Didn't you hear him say he is starving? And weren't you ready to get yourself burnt because you are dying to prepare me breakfast…,"
"Are you still angry about the incident earlier…,"
"Did I ever say I wasn't angry anymore?" She retorted and brushed his hand off. He ran and grabbed her hand once again before she could take two steps away from him.
"I am sorry. I shouldn't have touched anything in the kitchen like you had instructed so please don't leave…,"
"I want to go and prepare breakfast and you are saying I shouldn't go?" Joanna's eyebrows furrow as she gazes at the face of the guy who was refusing to let go of her.
"You want to go and prepare breakfast?" He asked. His grip around her loosened realising that his assumptions were wrong.
"Of course. What did you think I wanted to do?" She interrogated, her gaze not shifting from his face.
She swivelled and tried to walk away but he stopped her again. This time not by clutching her hand but by appearing in front of her.
"What is it this time around?" Joanna lost her cool and raised her voice at him. "Have you vouched in your heart to annoy me to death today…,"
"My wish is for you to live for over a millennium so annoying you to death is something I will never do if I what my wish to come true," He replied cheerfully.
Noticing how his reply made Joanna speechless, Anthony chuckled.
There was quietness in the room after he left her speechless with his response.
"Let's eat out today," He announced. "These past few days you always eat the food Josephina brought so let's go to a nice restaurant for a change today," he continued when she didn't accept or decline his offer.
Anthony hurried to their sides when it was taking Joanna a long time to respond.
"Big Sis, there is a nice restaurant located not far away from here. It's renowned for making yummy dishes. Let's go there hmm," Anthony's eyeballs glimmer as he speaks.
"Did you two plan this and made me fall into your trap?" She questioned. Her suspicious glances moved from Amos to Anthony's face.
"W-what are you saying?" He stuttered. He held Anthony's hand and together they hastened to the door not giving her the chance to interrogate them.
"We will wait for you while you dress up…,"
"But I never…," the door jammed without her getting the opportunity to talk.
In the sitting room Amos held Anthony's hand and pulled him away from the couch when he tried to sit.
"Your sister is dressing up so how could we sit and relax? Do you want to go out looking that way and smelling smoke," He asked and pointed at the part of Anthony's clothes stained with dirt.
"You are right…,"
"If you think so then let's go. There is no time to waste," He said and together they hastened to the guestroom.
As Joanna was changing she wasn't aware that her two men were also trying to get ready so they wouldn't delay her.
Thanks to Amos and Anthony's heightened senses they were able to tell which stage Joanna was at.
Twenty minutes later, both Amos' bedroom and guestroom opened at the same time. Each occupant of the room stepped out.
