"Ms. Kelloway, I understand that you want to protect your sister, but do you have to step on my brother’s head to do so? You’re a big sister, and so am I. You insulted my brother, and now you have to apologize to him."
Rebecca Kelloway stared at her with a pale face for a moment, and then suddenly smiled with the corner of her lips: "What if I refuse?"
"Then I’ll have to go to Mr. and Mrs. Kelloway and tell them everything their daughter did today."
The moment the man’s deep and cold voice sounded, Rebecca Kelloway froze.
Jeremy Lawrence looked up and saw Ashton Heath slowly walking towards them with a large bouquet of flowers in his hands. His eyes immediately lit up, and he affectionately called out: "Ashton!"
As soon as he called out "Ashton," Aria Rowlett gave him a surprised look.
She didn’t know that Ashton Heath and Joanna Lawrence were already married, and she thought Jeremy was really sweet to call him "brother-in-law" so soon.
It seemed that he was quite satisfied with his future brother-in-law.
And no wonder, as Ashton Heath did have excellent qualities.
Just his handsome face alone was enough to drive many women crazy.
Ashton Heath glanced at Jeremy Lawrence, gently nodded his head, acknowledging the greeting.
He slowly walked up to Joanna Lawrence with the very conspicuous red roses in his hands.
Aria Rowlett politely moved away and stood behind Joanna.
"Baby, congratulations on your successful audition," Ashton Heath said in a low, gentle voice, seemingly oblivious to Rebecca’s tense expression, as he handed the bouquet of roses to Joanna.
The scent of the flowers and the bright red petals left Joanna momentarily stunned.
She blinked, looked down at the dewdrops rolling on the petals, and asked in surprise: "For me?"
This was the first time Ashton Heath had bought flowers for her.
Of course, Joanna was no stranger to receiving flowers from men.
During her years of dating David Benington, David had given her quite a few bouquets.
Especially in the early stages of their relationship, the flowers came quite frequently.
However, when she saw Ashton Heath walking towards her with a large bouquet of red roses, her heart nevertheless raced.
"Mhm," Ashton Heath said, smiling slightly, "I picked them out at the flower shop. Do you like them?"
He had never given flowers to a girl before.
This was his first time in his life.
He didn’t really know what flowers she liked, but the florist told him that girls usually like red roses because they symbolize love.
So he bought this bouquet of red roses.
"You even went to the flower shop?" Joanna’s eyes were filled with surprise and a touch of delight. She couldn’t help but smile, feeling sweet inside, as she took the flowers.
She held the large bouquet of red roses to her chest.
She lowered her head, smelling the faint floral fragrance, her mood instantly lifting a lot.
"Thank you, I really like them."
Seeing her smile, Ashton Heath also revealed a faint, pleasing smile in his eyes, his sexy thin lips slightly upturned.
As expected, girls really do like flowers.
Rebecca Kelloway stood behind them.
Joanna and Ashton Heath’s conversation was not soft, and she heard everything.
She stared at the bright red roses, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Not only did Ashton Heath buy flowers for a woman, but he also personally went to the flower shop to pick them out?!
This didn’t seem like something he would do.
How could he think to give flowers to a woman?
He had given her flowers before, but Rebecca Kelloway knew very well that it wasn’t his idea to give her flowers.
