The man sitting across from her elegantly wiped the corner of his lips.
The waiter swiped the card and, with both hands, held out the prestige card, a symbol of status, and bowed as he handed it back to him.
Ashton Heath took it.
Raising his eyes, he glanced at Joanna Lawrence, who was patting her full belly.
The corners of his lips curved up: “You seemed to have a good appetite tonight.
It appears that the dishes here suit your taste.
If you like it, we can come here every day.”
Joanna was drinking water and choked a bit.
Her face flushed a little, and she felt embarrassed.
Was he subtly saying that she had eaten a lot?
She did eat a lot tonight, it seemed.
Of all the dishes on the table, she had eaten at least two-thirds.
In contrast, Ashton Heath, a grown man, ate as daintily as a girl.
“Mmm, the food here is delicious, but it’s too expensive.
It’s way too extravagant to come and eat every day.”
“As long as you like it,” Ashton Heath looked into her eyes, the corners of his lips revealing a charming smile, “Besides, you should trust your husband’s financial strength.
Even if you eat three meals a day here, for the rest of your life, you won’t bankrupt me.”
She knew he was wealthy.
A meal costing tens of thousands of dollars might be extravagant for her, but to him, it was probably just like an ordinary person eating a meal worth ten dollars.
When he referred to himself as her “husband” just now, Joanna’s heart raced uncontrollably once again.
She was worried that the frequent increase in her heartbeat would actually lead to a heart attack.
After leaving the restaurant, Joanna went to the hospital to visit Jeremy Lawrence.
Since Ashton Heath had nothing to do that evening, he naturally accompanied her.
Knowing how much Joanna cared for Jeremy, he, of course, had to work on building rapport with his little brother-in-law.
Seeing the couple exit, Zack, who was waiting outside, respectfully called out before opening the car door.
Once they got in the car, Zack asked for the destination and directed the car towards the hospital.
Just as the luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled away, Annie Lawrence and David Benington, who had come out of the revolving glass door, stopped in their tracks.
Annie stared at the black Rolls-Royce entering the traffic, her expression frozen for a moment, disbelief flashing in her eyes.
Was Joanna in that car?
Was her sugar daddy the owner of the car?
Annie clearly knew how expensive that Rolls-Royce was.
She had thoroughly researched various luxury brands, regardless of whether it was bags, clothes, jewelry, or cars and houses.
It was a limited edition Rolls-Royce.
At least twenty million dollars in value.
However, that was not the most important point.
The critical factor was that the car’s license plate number consisted of four 8s.
In Closia, only a few people could afford such a license plate number.
At first, she thought Joanna had just found a wealthy man.
Those four 8s stung her eyes, igniting the jealousy at the bottom of her heart.
Just from that license plate number, Annie knew that the person in the car must have an extraordinary identity.
“David, is the woman in that Rolls-Royce my sister?” Annie bit her lip as she watched the luxurious Rolls-Royce drive further and further away until it disappeared from sight.
David pursed his lips but didn’t speak; however, his face looked ugly.
The windows of the Rolls-Royce were open.
Just now, he saw Joanna, with his own eyes, sitting in that car.
