Joanna wanted to reject his offer but when she noticed she still had about ten minutes to kill she decided to give him a listening ear.

The two of them strolled to the brown bench. After they were both seated, Raymond started his narration.

"Sophie and I met three years ago in the human world. We were 18 years old. We were young and reckless," He started in a low tone.

"We met a few times and afterwards we found each other cool. As young people who just got exposed to the real world of adults, we got into a relationship because we found each other cool," He continued.

"Our relationship wasn't based on love, this is a point we made clear to each other before we started anything. We just wanted to have fun and explore...," He paused and stared at Joanna's face to make sure she was following his story.

"Although our relationship was never based on love, I found her cute, kind and gentle. This was what I thought she was until she beats the hell out of one of my female fans just because she touched my hand and also hugged me...,"

"I didn't do anything and they treated me worse than their dogs at their homes. I could imagine what she must have done to the poor lady," Joanna cut in softly.

She empathized with the mentioned lady even though she had no idea who it was.

"It would have been better if she only beats her but she blinded the lady's eyes...,"

"What the hell?" Joanna blurted with her right hand covering her mouth.

"If not for Derrick coming to the lady's rescue she would have killed her. In fact, that was her intention from the beginning," Raymond relayed with his fists clasped.

"Whatever we had and shared ended right after that incident. But she has never let go. She has been trying to get back together with me just like she did today," Raymond concluded.

"Sophie and her friends are the meanest set of ladies I have ever come across. Of course, an exception is my evil stepmother...,"

"Does she still make things difficult for you as she did in the past?" He mumbled.

"People don't change easily. This is a fact I have come to realize while growing up," She muttered.

"Also, if someone like her was to suddenly start treating me nicely I will be on high alert because the first thing I would suspect would be that she is putting on an act...,"

"If she still makes things difficult for you, believe me, you won't have anything to worry about now that I am back. I have got your back," He said and tapped his left shoulder like Derrick would have done.

"Hahaha... that is very assuring to hear," Joanna smiled at him.

She so much wanted to tell him that at the moment the table had turned but she kept quiet.

She was afraid she wouldn't be able to deliver a convincing response if he was to ask her what she meant.

Joanna and Raymond kept talking.

Some minutes later as they talked they suddenly heard the cries of a baby. When they raised their heads to see what happened, they were dumbfounded to see a baby hopping in the middle of the road.

"That is quite dangerous," Joanna mumbled, her gaze glued on the crying baby. It wasn't up to ten seconds after she said these words that a car emerged from nowhere.

The car moving towards where the child stood drove at top speed. The fear of what would become the baby's fate caused them to jump to their feet at the same time.

They were so worried about the baby's safety that they didn't realize that they were acting in the same way.

Joanna and Raymond waited for someone to show up and save the toddler whose footsteps weren't coordinated. But none showed up or cried for help.

When none came to the baby's rescue Joanna and Raymond both decided in their hearts to save the baby.

All these things happened so quickly. When the car driving at top speed was some inches away from crushing the baby, Raymond and Joanna disappeared from their respective positions at the same time.

They appeared beside the baby at the same time and grabbed the baby's hand at the same time.

Their movements were coordinated like they had planned these rescue steps.

Raymond and Joanna turned and peered at each other at the same time the instant they grabbed the baby's hands.

His bewildered expression didn't escape Raymond's notice.

"How...,"

"Saving the baby is the most important thing now," Joanna said to the guy whom she knew had thousands of questions he wanted to ask.

Raymond and Joanna disappeared from the street just when the black car wanted to run into them.

They resurfaced at the spot they had sat down earlier, each holding onto the fair little boy's hand.

"Are you ok?" Joanna asked the curly-haired boy even if she had guessed he wasn't able to talk properly.

From mere looks of it, she knew boys of his age were just learning to speak.

"Did you get hurt?" She quizzed and examined the boy's body for injuries. She lifted the boy into her embrace when he burst into tears.

Joanna's attention was focused on the fair skin boy to notice Raymond's strange stares directed at her.

She was still coaxing the baby when she heard the cries of a woman. Despite the woman's words being muffled by her sobs, she still heard some of the words she said.

"I guess his mother has finally noticed he is missing. I am so much going to give her a piece of my mind," Joanna stated and stomped towards where the cries came from.

For a second there she forgot all about Raymond, her partner.

At first, Joanna had the intention to scold the boy's mother but she was able to scold the human when she saw her bawling her eyes out.

She and Raymond handed the baby over to his rightful mother. And in return, the beautiful lady showered them with gratitude-filled words.

"Thank you. Thank you very much," The woman repeatedly said with her head bowed.

Joanna has never felt so good about doing a good deed until today.
