"Let me go," Joanna demanded in a low, firm voice while trying to free herself from the cunning man by pushing his chest away from her.
She was upset and disappointed in him because he did not keep his word this time. He cunningly touched her when she was sleeping, while she had asked him not to do that as per their conversation in the carriage many hours ago.
She was assured that he was a man of his word. But he did not prove it to her this time, and it made Joanna disappointed in herself as well because she put her trust in him.
Getting in a paddy, Joanna let out a louder grunt as she expended more energy to push the liar man away from her.
But the cunning, liar man did not budge at all. Instead, Joanna, who barely distanced her body from the man, was pulled back to him as he was tightening his embrace on her.
