"Is it ok for you to extend your vacation period?" Joanna asked the question which was on her mind.

"I mean people with your identity are not supposed to leave their position vacant for a long time, so are you sure this is the right decision?"

Yes, she is aware that Kayden's vacation extension means she gets to spend more time with him without having to worry about the barriers of the palace walls.

But she isn't that inconsiderate. Her love isn't selfish neither is she.

No matter how much she loves and wants to be with him she would never want him to abandon his duties and his identity just to spend time with her.

"There is indeed a possibility I will extend my vacation but I might also cut it short before the deadline reaches...,"

"What!" Joanna shouted. Her hand stopped moving on his face at that instance. She tried not to show her disappointment but it was still visible.

"I didn't say that to make you sad or feel pressured. You seemed to be concerned about my vacation extension that was why I said that," Amos tried to explain but her expression didn't brighten up.

"Joan, nothing is certain at the moment so get rid of that frown on your face. Let's enjoy the moment we have and forget about other things," He said in a bid to cheer her up. He raised his hand and cupped her face.

"You look the prettiest when you smile...,"

"What do you mean?" She scoffed. "Are you trying to say that I look ugly when I don't smile...,"

"No...," Amos shook his head negatively. He bit his lower lip to prevent the laughter from bursting out.

"Whether or not I smile, I am still the prettiest. None can outshine my beauty," She said with her neck cocked to the side.

"Yeah, you are right about that," Amos agreed as he gave her a thumbs up.

Joanna and Amos stayed out of the car and chatted for fifteen minutes. They were in each other's embrace throughout the time they spent outside.

"I have seen, talked and embraced you as much as I had yearned for. I guess it's time to let go of you now...,"

"Do you mean you wanna leave now?" Joanna asked, her lips pouting.

"Apart from the fact that you have to go to school tomorrow, your father will suspect that something is wrong if you stay longer than this...,"

"He doesn't care about and he never will. There is no need to worry about him," Joanna cut in. She adjusted the way she wrapped her hand around his neck.

"He wouldn't even notice it if I stayed out for three days, believe me," Joanna beat her chest slightly.

"Let's go to our hideout and spend the night there...,"

"Are you sure that is ok?" Amos asked. He was more concerned about her well-being than what he would benefit from her suggestion.

"Your stepmother and grandma will not take things lightly...,"

"I have taken care of all of them. None at home is a threat to me anymore so you can have me to yourself now without worrying about anything," Joanna smiled and bent to kiss him.

She gave a light kiss to his lips but Amos didn't respond.

"Are you still worried about what they will do or react when they learn that I slept out?" Joanna was forced to ask when she noticed Amos' worried expression.

"I know how hard they were on you in the past. The last thing I want is to make things difficult...,"

"I said spending the night with you is not a problem that I can't handle it. Don't you believe me anymore?" She quizzed.

With this question, Joanna was able to get what she wanted without having to persuade Amos any further.

Amos drove to the forest hut which had long become his and Joanna's favourite spot.

Inside the room, Joanna's eyes wander around the room as Amos changed his clothes and took off his disguise.

"Since you said you came to see me immediately after leaving what you were doing I believed you hadn't had a bath right?" Joanna asked.

For some reason, she was gazing at every corner of the room except his direction.

And Kayden happened to notice this but he chose not to say anything about it.

"You are right about that," He replied with his gaze focused on her.

He was surprised when he saw her move to the brown door.

"If that's the case then let me escort you to the river so you can have your bath there," Joanna proposed.

"That won't...," She had already gone out of the room before he got to reject her proposal.

Kayden stared at the door speechless at what just happened.

He picked up the baggy trousers he dropped on the bed and put them on. He slid the oversized white shirt into his body.

Kayden left the room without bothering to button up the long sleeve white shirt.

"Let's go," Joanna muttered. She turned around and walked away without sparing him a glance.

[We were fine some minutes ago so what the hell happened?]

Kayden gazed at her moving back. He was lost at what to do especially since he was sure he didn't do anything to upset her.

Joanna frowned upon turning around to see that Kayden was still at the spot she left him.

"What are you waiting for?... Let's go," She waved at him from where she stood.

"I am coming," He replied and almost immediately he appeared beside her.

Despite his efforts to get her to look or talk to him as freely as she always does, his efforts failed.

At the river, Joanna took her position on the steep grass. She turned her back on him before he even started taking off his clothes.

Her actions made Kayden restless.

The first and last time she ignored him was because she was upset. He couldn't help but wonder what he did wrong this time around.

[Does this perhaps have something to do with not following her and her little man to the amusement park?]

Kayden wondered, his gaze glued on her back.
