Aria Rowlett clamored that they should celebrate a bit.
The two agreed to go to a karaoke bar that evening to sing.
However, just when they had made the arrangement, Ashton Heath sent a message.
It took Joanna Lawrence a few seconds to reply to him: Aria and I are going out for dinner tonight, and then we’re going to the karaoke bar to have fun. Would you like to join us?
After sending the message, she waited several minutes but received no response from Ashton Heath.
Joanna Lawrence couldn’t help but send him another message: Are you upset? But Aria and I already made plans, and it wouldn’t be right for me to change the time now. How about I have lunch with you tomorrow? Or maybe, tonight, I could have a late-night snack with you?
After waiting for a few more minutes, Ashton Heath still didn’t reply to her.
Joanna Lawrence: "..."
She was now sure that Ashton Heath was genuinely upset.
Usually, when she sent him a message, he would always reply instantly.
This time, she had already sent two messages in a row, and he hadn’t reacted at all. If it wasn’t anger, then what could it be?
Joanna Lawrence found this both amusing and somewhat speechless.
She felt that Ashton Heath’s anger was a bit inexplicable.
It wasn’t that she wasn’t going to accompany him.
She just happened to have already made plans with a classmate, and it would be the same for her to accompany him another day.
Moreover, they had already met and had lunch together earlier in the day.
She always felt that her relationship with Ashton Heath was somewhat strange.
It wasn’t like a usual couple.
Ordinary couples usually have the female partner more attached to the male partner.
However, in their relationship, Ashton Heath seemed to be more attached to her.
"Baby, what’s wrong?"
Since they were going out to have dinner and sing that night, Aria Rowlett had washed her hair, dried it with a blow-dryer, and put on a facial mask before walking out of the bathroom.
Seeing Joanna Lawrence staring at her phone, she curiously asked.
Joanna Lawrence looked up at her and sighed, "Ah, it seems your heartthrob is angry at me."
"Hmm?" Aria Rowlett raised her eyebrow, "Did you two fight?"
Joanna Lawrence pursed her lips: "Because he just sent me a message saying he’s coming over tonight to have dinner with me. I told him that we’re going out for dinner and singing tonight, so I can’t accompany him, and now he won’t even reply to my messages."
Was her heartthrob that childish?
Wow, she inexplicably found it adorable! What should she do?
Joanna Lawrence sighed again: "Ah, I’ve already told him that I can have a late-night snack with him tonight, but he still won’t pay attention to me."
"Hahaha," Aria Rowlett clapped her hands and said with a grin, "Maybe he’s already made reservations and prepared a candlelit dinner or something, intending to give you a romantic date. And now you’re telling him you’ve made plans with someone else."
Joanna Lawrence had told Aria Rowlett about Ashton Heath’s pursuit.
Aria Rowlett was envious of how romantic it was and encouraged Joanna Lawrence to enjoy the process of being pursued, urging her not to accept Ashton Heath too soon.
Joanna Lawrence frowned slightly, "That probably isn’t it."
"Then why don’t you go with your heartthrob tonight?" Aria Rowlett sat down beside her and patted her on the shoulder, saying very magnanimously, "We can reschedule for another day. You and your heartthrob are in a critical time for developing your relationship. I’m not going to get in the way."
"Otherwise, I would feel guilty."
"If your heartthrob is unhappy with me, it would be terrible."
After receiving a six-digit-priced handbag from Ashton Heath, Aria Rowlett’s admiration for him had risen to another level.
She wouldn’t do anything to upset her heartthrob!
