Ashton Heath’s deep black eyes lingered on the soft, cute girl in his arms. He couldn’t resist reaching out to slightly pinch her fair and tender cheek.
The girl’s face was white, smooth, and soft to touch, just like an egg.
Seeing her curled up in his arms like a kitten, Ashton’s gaze softened.
The generally cold contours of his face also softened significantly.
Once Lady Octavia had finished speaking, he tugged at a slight smile, "Don’t worry, Lady Octavia. You’ll definitely see it in your lifetime."
"What did you say?" Lady Octavia’s tone changed, "Is there something going on?"
In the past, whenever she spoke about these things, Ashton remained silent.
This time, he responded to her.
Ashton’s gaze fell on Joanna Lawrence; it was slightly soft, "Prepare more light foods. Also, let someone prepare some brown sugar tea in advance for me. I’ll be back later."
"Wha...what? Brown sugar water?" Lady Octavia was stunned.
"Yes, add some ginger and Medjool dates to it. That’s it, I’m hanging up. We’ll talk more when I get home."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Joanna listened to him finish the call, raised her head, and her dark eyes looked at him, "Your mom called you?"
Ashton nodded, curled his lips, and corrected her, "Baby, she’s your mom too."
Joanna was taken aback, a little embarrassed.
She was already married to Ashton.
His mom was indeed her mom now.
However, she hadn’t even gotten used to the idea of marriage, let alone calling her "mom".
Herr face turned slightly red, biting her lips and queried, "Did...did your mom ask you to come home?"
"Yes." Ashton thought for a moment and then asked her in a tone meant to consult her, "Do you want to come home with me?"
Their marriage was swift.
He hadn’t got the chance to introduce her to his family back at Heath Villa.
But that day, something Rebecca Kelloway said reminded him of his original plan, which was to bring her home soon.
Coincidentally, Lady Octavia called him to come home today, so he thought about advancing the plan.
Joanna was taken aback, "Go home with you? You mean to meet your family?"
As Ashton stroked her head, his voice was gentle, "Joanna, we’re already married. I’ve met your family, but you haven’t met mine. I want to take you home and introduce you to them."
Joanna immediately became nervous.
"Meet...meet your family?" She bit her lip, "But I’m not prepared yet."
Even though she was married to Ashton, she didn’t want him to take her home so soon.
She wished they could continue to live their life, just the two of them.
She was afraid of the idea of returning home with him to meet his parents.
Whenever she thought about those TV series about wealthy family disputes, she felt resistant.
Ashton was very good and spoiled her.
In a super wealthy family like the Heaths, his family members must be a bunch of formidable people.
Such formidable people would not be easy to get along with.
"You don’t need to worry or be afraid." Noticing her nervousness and uneasiness, Ashton comforted her by stroking her head. His voice was softer, more gentle, "With me by your side, no one can hurt you."
"Moreover, you are so good, my family is bound to like you."
"Joanna, what are you worried about?" Ashton’s gaze was gentle as he looked at her, "Are you worried that my family is difficult to get along with and they will make things hard for you?"
