It seems, the sweet tea really helped.
Her face does not appear as pale now.
Joanna Lawrence nodded, "Yes, I feel much better."
"Does your stomach still hurt?"
Ashton Heath gently touched her head, "If you still feel uncomfortable, tell me. I will make you some more."
A warmth surged up in Joanna’s chest, she lifted her head to look at Ashton, with a trace of doubt in her eyes, "Ashton Heath..."
"...Have you ever taken care of any other woman ?"
"No," Ashton’s answer was swift and decisive, "Baby, you’re the first."
A touch of sweetness infiltrated her heart. Joanna Lawrence’s lips corner curled slightly. She softly asked, "Why?"
Ashton lowered his gaze, his deep eyes landed on her delicate face, "I just don’t like them."
Joanna was stunned. The smile deepened on her lips.
The trace of sweetness felt as if it had multiplied multiple times...
He doesn’t like them, so he wouldn’t do these things for them.
So the fact that he willingly did these things for her, does it mean that he likes her?
Despite his explicit confession of his love for her, she still found her heart stirred by this subtle confession.
Her heart pounded erratically.
"Then why... are you being so good to me?"
She knew she was asking an obvious question.
But despite knowing the answer, she wanted to hear him say it once more.
Ashton peered into her eyes, his distinctively jointed white fingers held her jaw, his handsome face moved closer to her. He asked tenderly in a soft husky voice, "Baby, isn’t it clear to you how I feel by now?"
"Don’t tell me you still don’t know why I am being good to you."
He had no intentions of concealing his feelings.
He confessed his love for her directly.
He wanted her to comprehend his emotions crystal clear.
He has never been a fan of playing hard to get.
If he loved a woman, he would unabashedly pursue her.
If he couldn’t win her over, he would find other ways.
In brief, once he has set his eyes on her, he would go all out to win her over.
Whether in terms of spending money on her or treating her well, he would give her everything he could.
There was zero cover-up in his attraction towards her.
He has practically laid his heart bare in front of her.
Joanna peered into his deep and tender eyes. Her heart pounding wildly at his undisguised affection and desire, laid bare for her to see.
She was finding it a tad difficult to breathe. She bit her lip and feigned ignorance, "I... I don’t know..."
"Really?" Ashton’s deep, seductive laugh rang out.
His lips curled into an inviting smile. "Do you want me to prove it to you right now?"
Joanna’s heart pounded wildly at his smile, "How... How are you going to prove it?"
His handsome face suddenly enlarged in her vision, and his warm, moist lips met hers.
Joanna lay breathless in his arms, her face tinted a light blush. Her lips were red and swollen.
Above her head, Ashton stared at her tender, swollen lips, resisting the urge to kiss her again, he asked in a husky voice, "Baby, do you understand my feelings now?"
Joanna, her eyes filled with bewilderment, thought of the deep, breathless kiss a while ago and blushed again before nodding.
Ashton laughed lightly, unable to resist, he lightly kissed her again, "Baby, my entire heart now belongs to you. If I don’t treat you good, then who else? You wouldn’t know how important you are to me."
