Ashton Heath nodded, "Hmm, don’t you want to?"
Joanna Lawrence joked: "Aren’t you afraid I’ll buy too much and max out your card?"
"If you have the capability." The man smirked, his voice low and enticing, "I’d be more than pleased."
Joanna Lawrence: "..."
Encountering a husband who not only doesn’t fear his wife’s extravagant spending, but also encourages it... she pondered how she should handle him.
"Ashton Heath..." Joanna Lawrence massaged her temples, speaking somewhat helplessly, "I really don’t need to buy anything. If I want to buy something in the future, I’ll tell you, okay?"
She had perceived his intentions.
Ashton Heath simply wanted her to spend his money.
In his eyes, perhaps those three bags were nothing more than ordinary expenses.
Did he think she was... being too frugal?
Having married such a rich husband, Joanna Lawrence still didn’t quite understand the spending habits of the wealthy.
Ashton Heath looked at her skeptically: "You really don’t want to buy anything?"
Joanna Lawrence held her forehead, spread her hands: "I truly don’t, for now..."
"You don’t have to save money for me."
"Good." Ashton Heath stared at her for a while, seemingly unsure if he believed her, then nodded, "Since you don’t want to browse anymore, we won’t. However, if you ever want to buy anything in the future, you must tell me."
He paused, then said: "I’ll buy it for you."
Joanna Lawrence: " ...Okay."
Ashton Heath checked the time, thinking they could still fit in a movie or something.
There was a cinema right in the mall, on the ground floor.
Upon entering the elevator, he pressed the button for the movie theater’s floor.
Joanna Lawrence saw the floor he had chosen and was taken aback: "Aren’t we going home? Do you have anything else you want to buy?"
Ashton Heath had pressed for the sixth floor.
Clearly, this didn’t suggest they were going home.
Ashton Heath simply hummed in acknowledgment, then said: "It’s still early, we don’t need to rush home. Think about if there’s any movie you want to see, we’ll go watch it later."
Joanna Lawrence was stunned for a few seconds, clearly surprised.
She never expected Ashton Heath to want to take her to a movie.
She had gone to movies when she was dating David Benington.
Indeed, the majority of couples choose to watch movies on dates.
The reason she felt surprised and taken aback was that she never thought the typical dating style of ordinary people would be used by Ashton Heath.
She had never imagined, Ashton Heath would accompany her to a movie.
It felt like wealthy people like them would date at high-end restaurants, have dinner, and then perhaps visit an art exhibition or enjoy a musical performance.
In any case, they would always visit rather classy venues.
A cinema... seemed a bit too plebeian.
"Why did you suddenly decide to accompany me to a movie?" Joanna Lawrence asked, intrigued.
"Joanna Lawrence." Ashton Heath softly called her name.
"Have we ever formally had a date?"
Joanna Lawrence was stunned: "...it seems we haven’t."
They got married without even dating.
They never even had a chance to go for a date.
"So, this is our date. Dinner, movie, shopping; isn’t this the usual sequence of dates?"
"Then we’ll date this way."
"I’m sorry, doing some of these things might be a little bit late now, but, I still want to make up for them."
