She had connections in the hospital, so getting a pregnancy examination report wouldn’t be difficult at all.
Since David wanted her to undergo a checkup, she’d go along with it.
As long as the examination report came out, he would naturally stop doubting her.
It was a good opportunity for her to prove herself.
Thinking it through, Annie immediately nodded briskly, with an obedient look and gentle tone, saying, "Alright, I’ll listen to David. Shall we go to the hospital for the checkup now?"
David was taken aback.
Annie’s quick agreement suddenly made him doubt the idea he had just come up with.
Was he overthinking things?
But now that he had doubts in his heart, whether or not he was overthinking it, he had to take Annie to the hospital for a checkup.
If he had misunderstood, he could just buy her a gift as an apology.
Soon, the two left the police station through another door under the protection of the officers, avoiding a group of reporters who were waiting at the main entrance.
After finishing his social engagement, Ashton Heath drove home right away.
Upon arriving at the Hillside Villa, Mr. Rowan came out to greet him.
"Is Ms. Joanna awake yet?" Ashton took off his coat and tie and handed them to Mr. Rowan.
Mr. Rowan took them and respectfully replied, taking small steps behind him, "Ms. Joanna hasn’t come downstairs yet; I think she’s still asleep."
Knowing that Joanna had painful periods, Ashton couldn’t help but worry about her.
He feared she had stayed in her room due to feeling unwell.
He walked quickly and urgently upstairs, pushing open the door into the bedroom to find the delicate figure lying motionless on the bed, maintaining the same position she had before he’d left, still sound asleep.
Ashton couldn’t help but lighten his pace.
Slowly, he walked to the bedside, gently tugging at the thin blanket.
Joanna had covered her head while sleeping.
Ashton pulled away the blanket from her face, revealing a pretty, delicate face.
While asleep, the young girl lying on the large bed had a fair complexion with a faint blush, her rosy white skin as tender as a baby’s.
Just looking at her made it seem like she’d be nice to touch.
Ashton couldn’t help but gently stroke her cheek with his hand, feeling a silky smooth sensation beneath his palm.
He couldn’t bear to release her velvety, soft skin.
Joanna’s skin was tender and smooth all over, with a top-notch touch.
Especially in the summer, when touched, it felt icy cold and extremely comfortable.
Moreover, her entire body was soft, like it had no bones - such a physique could be considered peak among top-notch.
Even with his strong self-control, he still couldn’t resist making love to her many times that night.
Thinking of that passionate night, Ashton’s eyes couldn’t help but darken.
When Joanna opened her eyes, she saw a pair of deep, burning orbs in her drowsy state.
She hesitated for a few seconds before speaking still in a somewhat dazed voice, "Ashton... are you back?"
Seeing her awake, Ashton scooped her up, blanket and all, and cradled her in his arms like a cocooned baby.
Lowering his head, he placed a gentle kiss on her soft lips, murmuring, "Yes, I’m back."
Joanna turned her head and glanced at the wall clock, saying with some surprise, "Your social engagement finished so early."
It was only five o’clock now.
She’d assumed that Ashton would return no earlier than seven or eight o’clock.
