Chapter 979
The next morning, the housemaids brought the tablet, set of markers, and more to Johanna.
As there were many rooms on the second floor, excluding Zephyr's study, Johanna could use any of the rooms.
Hence, she chose a room facing south.
Johanna could not plug a SIM card into the tablet, so she could only use its wireless function.
After turning on the tablet, Johanna realized that the browser and application stores were all banned. The only
applications she could use were the video-watching and book-reading ones.
Johanna did not know computers that well, so even after two hours, she still failed to get the browser working.
In the end, she gave up and began doodling on the drawing book with the markers. Soon, she drew Timothy and
Asel.
Back then, Timothy had been exhausted from work. A few minutes after keeping his daughter company, he fell
asleep.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Johanna came home, she saw her daughter sprawled on Timothy's chest with a marker in her hand, drawing
on Timothy's face. In fact, she had colored every inch of his face, and Johanna laughed uncontrollably at the scene.
That was a marker meant for drawing, so it was not easy to wash off. It took Johanna over an hour in the bedroom
just to get rid of half of the marks.
While Johanna wiped his face, she commented, “The others are going to laugh at you when they see you with this
face in the office tomorrow.”
“Let them, then. No matter how cheeky my darling daughter is, I have to dote on her.” Timothy then kissed her
before mumbling, “Maybe they'll be jealous that I have a daughter!”
She missed Timothy, and she wanted to go home.
Afraid that Zephyr would see her drawings, every time Johanna drew Timothy and her daughter, she would stare at
the drawing for a while before tearing off the page and burning it.
Zephyr did not have any important matters to deal with, so he had been staying in the castle for the following days.
He enjoyed Johanna's cooking, so he began asking her to make Chanaean cuisine for him every day. Whenever he
was in a good mood, he would take Johanna to the home theatre to watch movies or to the pool to swim.
Sometimes, he even hired a band to the castle. He would get Johanna to change into a gown, and the two would
dance under the moon.
He was not only fascinated by Johanna; he demanded much from her as well. As long as he wanted it, it did not
matter if they were at the home theatre, corridor, garden, kitchen, or even the living room.
As he did not provide her with any pills, she was forced to eat celery, carrot, and other similar foods every day to
avoid pregnancy.
Much later, Johanna finally found out some things about Zephyr.
His name was actually Osborn Carlo, but the name he used in Chanaea was Zephyr Juksford. He came from a
powerful background—he was part of the Carlo family, an infamous mafia family from Lostaria.
However, Zephyr did not tell her who he was in the Carlo family.
Nevertheless, a blond man with blue eyes once came to the castle in search of Zephyr. That man behaved
extremely politely around Zephyr, and with the way Zephyr carried himself, Johanna guessed that Zephyr was the
head of the Carlo family.
One afternoon, Johanna made a few dishes. Once Zephyr was done with his work and came downstairs, the two

Johanna said, “I'm sick of staying in this castle every day.”
Zephyr picked up the bowl of soup and sipped from it. As it tasted great, his knitted brows relaxed a little. He then
looked at Johanna and asked, “You want to go out?”
“Yes. I want to go out to shop.” Johanna leisurely ate her food.
Zephyr parted her fringe with his finger and chuckled. “Even a bird will be sick of its cage over time, let alone a kitty
like you. I have a friend who's celebrating their birthday today. I'll bring you along.”
Anne, who was standing aside, was taken aback by his statement. She parted her lips, seemingly about to say
something.
Johanna was not Zephyr's paramour—she was but a pet that could be thrown aside at any time. That was why Anne
felt that Johanna had no right to attend social gatherings for socialites.
Nevertheless, Zephyr said to Anne, “Call Evangeline and tell her there's no need for her to prepare for tonight
anymore.”
Anne lowered her head and answered, “Yes, sir.”
Johanna could hear something amiss about Anne's tone, so she guessed that Evangeline's relationship with Zephyr
must be complicated.
Quietly, she memorized that name.
