41: Chapter 41 In his eyes, he could only see one Joanna Lawrence 41: Chapter 41 In his eyes, he could only see one Joanna Lawrence The handsome and noble man’s lips curled up slightly.
The cold and distant aura covering him instantly faded away as he slowly straightened his body and took strides with his long legs.
In the astonished gaze of the woman, he made his way over to Joanna Lawrence step by step.
Before Joanna could even react, the man’s tall and straightfigure had already reached her, casting a shadow over her.
Ashton Heath embraced her in his arms, his voice deep: “Baby, why did it take so long for you to use the bathroom?
If you didn’t come out, I’d have gone in looking for you.”
The woman who tried to strike up a conversation saw this scene, what else was there to misunderstand?
After giving Joanna a glance filled with envy and a bit of unwillingness, she turned away awkwardly and left.
Joanna couldn’t help but glance at the woman, hesitated for a moment and asked, “Who is she?
She was a very beautiful woman.
Ashton Heath followed her gaze and then casually retracted his eyes: “I don’t know her.”
“But I just saw you talking to her?”
“Hm?” The man was taken aback, then a low laugh sounded from his throat: “Are you jealous?”
Joanna’s face instantly flushed red.
not at all,” she immediately denied, “I was just asking casually.
I’m not so petty as to be jealous just because you talked to someone else.”
Moreover, she was well aware of her status.
They had only gotten married for certain reasons; they were not truly in love with each other.
They were merely husband and wife in name.
She had no right to be jealous.
The moment she had her marriage certificate with him, Joanna had made it clear to herself that she would not do anything she was not supposed to do.
“You can be that petty.” The man’s deep eyes gazed at her, saying, “Joanna, we’re married now, we’re husband and wife.
You’re my wife, and if you think I’m getting too close to another woman, you have the right to be jealous and angry.”
Joanna raised her eyes, and when they met his deep, dark eyes, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and her pulse sped up.
“But you really didn’t need to worry about that woman just now.” Ashton Heath laughed softly again, holding her and turning back to the restaurant, “I really don’t know her.
She came over to strike up a conversation, but I have no interest in her at all.”
“As you saw, she has already left,”
“Since we’re married, I’ll behave as a husband should.
So rest assured, I won’t mess around with other women outside, let alone…”
The man’s words trailed off, falling silent.
“Let alone what?” Joanna raised her head to look at him and asked curiously.
“Let alone…” Ashton Heath turned his head, his eyes gazing down at her delicate and beautiful face, a fleeting strange color flashing in the depths of his eyes, “That woman is not even a fraction as good as you, and my taste isn’t that low.”
At that moment, Joanna’s heart, which had just calmed down, began to race crazily once more.
