Tail, who had been quiet the whole time, suddenly lifted her head.
She threw her arms around Joanne's neck and pleaded with a pout, "Mama, I don't want to be apart from you."
Joanne couldn't bear to see the sadness and grievances in her eyes.
"I don't want to leave you either, but you saw how fierce that man was. It wouldn't be safe for you to stay," Joanne
said, pinching Tail's chubby cheek.
Tail looked like a mini-version of Edwin. She had his eyes.
She furrowed her brow and put on her most pitiful expression.
'But I've never been away from you for this long. Please let me stay. I'm not afraid of danger. Miles can chase him

Joanne tensed up. "Do you like Miles that much?"
"Yeah!" Tail's cheeks turned rosy, and she said shyly, "He's the nicest person to me besides you, Ada, and Uncle
Patrick. I've promised him to be his girlfriend when I grow up. If
Joanne was rendered speechless.
She had never taken their children's play seriously. After all, one of them was 3.5 years old, and the other was
about seven.
They were still wet behind their ears and knew nothing about relationships.
She just hadn't expected her daughter to be brainwashed by Miles to such an extent.
She must nip their puppy love in the bud.
"If I don't allow you to be Miles' girlfriend, will you listen?"
Tail bit her lip and fell silent for a few seconds before finally speaking sadly, "If you let me stay with you, I won't be
his girlfriend. But I promised him first, and it was rude to break it. And... he gave me lots of gifts. He is rich."
Joanne was at a loss for words. Had she been separated from her daughter for so long that she could no longer
understand her way of thinking?
Or had Tail been influenced by the streaming culture?
Joanne cupped Tail's face and looked at her seriously.
"What on earth are you thinking about all day long? It's not about whether he is rich or not. Even if he gives you
gifts, you can't just rely on him. The right way is to work hard and improve yourself."
"Tail has been with you since she was born. If you leave her with Patrick, how is that any different from abandoning
her?
I have an idea," Jack interjected, his eyes bright with excitement.

"Leave Tail to me. I can protect her from Edwin. And we're both in Sapphire City. You can visit her anytime." He
thought it was a brilliant plan.
Joanne was dismayed.
Tail's father was around, but she was afraid that he would hurt Tail.
She began to regret staying in Sapphire City on a whim.
She had been overly confident in her new appearance.
To her dismay, Edwin, Catelyn, and even Ollie had easily seen through her disguise.
Now she found herself in a dilemma once again.
"Let me think about it," Joanne sighed.
"Since Edwin already knows where Tail is, there's no need to worry about drawing too much attention. Besides, Ada
will do a better job looking after Tail than Patrick does."
Jack continued to advise her. Holding her daughter, Joanne began to sway.
Just as she was about to agree, Jack's phone rang.
The caller said something, and Jack cursed, "Damn you, Edwin!"
