Chapter 171 Annoying Witch

• Joan's eyes flew open the next morning to find Liam staring back at her. She yawned and closed her eyes again, maybe she was still dreaming. Her eyes flew open and wide the seconds. She got up in a sitting position abruptly. Liam did the same too. He had been waiting for hours for her to wake up and she finally did. “Good morning” Joan greeted in a low voice. “Morning” Liam greeted her back. Joan tried to arrange her dishevelled hair but it only ruined it the more. Liam reached out to help her and Joan flushed.
• Where should he start this awkward conversation about Hazel? How would he explain, she would understand he knew it but it would push her away from him when she saw Hazel. He just knew it. The root of their problem was Hazel. She wanted to hold things back because she thought he still loved Hazel. And now that Hazel reappeared without a warning, it made Liam wonder how he really felt. All he could worry about was Joan. Was this just the mate bond, without the mate bond would she become a stranger. He wondered about that All the time. He didn't want her to become a stranger to him. Deep down Liam wanted these feelings to be real. “Is something wrong” Hazel's voice snapped Liam out of his daze.
• Liam opened his mouth to tell her what was troubling him but ended up saying something else. “We go for breakfast Devon and Anna must be waiting” Liam stood up from the bed. “I will wait till you are ready,” he said and walked out of the room into the living area. “Why did he look so troubled” Joan muttered to herself as she got up and went into the bathroom to take a shower. She brushed her teeth and couldn't shake off this odd feeling that something was off. Maybe she slept on the wrong side of the bed or something, because he felt upset without a reason. When Joan was done and ready to go for breakfast, she came out of the room to see Liam sitting on the couch, he was lost in thoughts again. It didn't take up to five seconds for Liam to know that Joan was staring at him.
