How to Get a Wife novel Chapter 22

Since he celebrated Joann's birthday, the relationship between them became closer.

Although Joanna had forgotten someone when she played with Little.

Because the new year was coming, the company was very busy. It was not rare that Joanna was so serious about her work that she didn't be in a hurry even in critical moment.

Because Little before, he had been neglected for a long time. Now he was ignored again because of work, which made him very unhappy.

"Wilson. We can travel after I finish my work." Today, Rita called her about an activity held by TV station and the prize was a two person trip to Maldives. She also told her that she would go back home for the Spring Festival and she didn't have time to go there, so she gave Joanna the tickets.

Joanna knew she had ignored Wilson, so she decided to take him out for fun.

The new year was coming soon, and her family had already returned to H city. When she said that she wanted to move out, her stepmother was very happy.

Joanna did not want to go back to the house. She would like to go out with Wilson.

"Travel? Where are you going? " Sure enough, Wilson's attention was attracted by the two words "us" that Joanna mentioned.

Although he also stayed with Joanna every day, he felt not right.

"To Maldives," Then Joanna opened the Internet and searched for the information of the Maldives.

Wilson's eyes were sparkling with excitement as he was browsing the pictures on the Internet.

The place was so beautiful like heaven.

He couldn't help but picturing the scene that he and Joanna traveled together in Maldives. He can't wait.

"Okay. When shall we go?" Wilson started to look forward to the trip to Maldives with Joanna.

"I'll come back next week when I finish my work."

Over the next few days, Wilson was planning their trip to Maldives with Joanna. He looked up the detailed information on the Internet, even including asking some people about experience and seeing anywhere worthy of view. Even the detail was recorded. The notebook was densely packed with documents that were collected by Wilson recently. For example, which attractions and when are the least visited, which had the best scenery, which restaurant's snacks were the most authentic, and which shop has the most affordable handicraft, It can be said that there is everything.

They even wrote down the most convenient taxi method. Even it would be hard to get lost.

Wilson was busy at home all the time. Reluctantly, Joanna watched Wilson packing excitedly. They were leaving the day after tomorrow. Why did he has to pack things from today on.

"Wilson. There's no need to be in such a hurry. We will leave the day after tomorrow." Noticing that Wilson was busy doing things, Joanna couldn't help but try to persuade him.

"No way. I have listed all the items that I need to take with me. If there is anything left, I have to buy it tomorrow. I need to prepare well today, It's not good to miss something." While saying that, he showed off his list to Joanna. When she saw the long "necessities" on the list, she was shocked.

Did he have to bring all these things?

"Wilson, this Do we have to take the compass and flint? " She really didn't understand why these things would appear on Wilson's list of necessities.

"I have searched online and found that these things are necessary. Of course we should take them. We don't have them at home. It seems that I will go to buy them tomorrow." Wilson ignored the stiffened expression of Joanna and said by himself.

Who will have compass and flint at home. It was normal that we don't have them.

"What have you found out? How could it be possible? " She really didn't understand why the necessities for a trip were like this.

"Well I don't remember Look at the computer. I'm still open. "

Joanna didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment. When she saw the words "necessities for survival" shown on the website, she was shocked.

She quickly searched for the photos of the hotel and the scenic spot online, and then pulled Wilson close to her and sat down.

"Wilson, Keep an eye on it. Here is where we live. See? It's clean and tidy. We don't need tents." She rolled her eyes.

She turned to another page and continued.

"It's a place for sightseeing. We have good security. We won't get lost. Besides, we don't need compass and flint," She continued to roll her eyes.

"Now do you understand?" Joanna stared into Wilson with a serious expression.

Of course she was serious. If he really took those things with him, she would lose her mind.

Wilson shook his head innocently. He didn't know what Joanna had said had anything to do with what he had brought.

Don't you understand? Joanna raised her eyebrows.

Wilson had seen the expression on Joanna's face. He shivered and nodded automatically.

"I see."

Good. Joanna stared at Wilson with satisfaction. She touched his head, as if she was saying, "Be good and I will give you candies.".

"Now you go to take a shower and then go to bed. I will help you pack up your things," Joanna said to Wilson, with a tone that allowed no refusal.

Wilson glanced at Joanna and said nothing. Then he went to wash himself and go to bed.

It was not until nightfall that Joanna let out a sigh of relief and sat on the sofa in a daze for a while that she stood up and took out all the unnecessary things in his suitcase, carefully counted them and made a list, preparing to go to the supermarket to buy them tomorrow.

Looking at the clock on the wall, it was a little late, but he still called her family.

"Hello, who is that?" As soon as the phone was picked up, Jean heard the sharp voice of her stepmother.

"It's me." Joanna didn't want to be heard by Wilson in the room.

"Well, what brings you here, Miss Joanna?" Her mean stepmother whispered in Joanna's ear. But it didn't matter to her at all. She had heard enough of it all these years?

"I have something to tell Dad. Is he at home?" Joanna just wanted to tell him what had happened as soon as possible, and cut to the chase.

"Your father is not here. You can tell me what happened. I'll tell him." Her stepmother's insouciant voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Well, I can't go back this year. I have to work overtime. Tell Dad about it." Joanna didn't want others to know that she went on a trip, so she told a lie that she was working overtime at the company.

Anyway, they don't care about me. They won't care about whether I'm telling the truth or not.

"I also want to introduce you to Emily's fiancé, but you can't come back. Well, forget it." Finishing these words, she hung up the phone. Joanna stared at the receiver coldly and put down the phone.

How could she not understand the real meaning of her stepmother's words. She wanted to introduce her Emily's fiancé just because she wanted to show off that her daughter had found a rich man.
