"So let me ask you another question. Ashton, how long has it been since you last slept with Ms. Joanna?"
Ashton Heath hesitated for a moment, his face a little uneasy. After a moment of silence, he reluctantly said, "We haven’t done it since that night."
Yannick Luther: "..."
"Come on. Ashton, that’s really lame. You’re married to Joanna, and you haven’t even touched her yet? Could it be that she doesn’t let you?"
He was unwilling to admit such a humiliating thing.
"Joanna really doesn’t let you touch her?" Yannick Luther couldn’t help but laugh, "But Ashton, you are so handsome and have a great body. Countless women are drooling over you. Any normal woman wouldn’t be able to resist your advances, right?"
"Joanna actually refuses? She can actually bear to refuse? Could it be that you performed too poorly that night, leaving her with a psychological shadow, so..."
Ashton Heath frowned and impatiently interrupted him, "She doesn’t even know about that night."
Yannick Luther was speechless.
"What’s going on between you and Joanna?" Yannick Luther was puzzled, "So she doesn’t even know that the person she was with that night is you? Don’t you plan to tell her?"
Ashton Heath’s face changed slightly, and he fell silent, "She feels deep hatred and disgust for that night’s incident. I’m afraid if I tell her, she’ll hate me."
"But you can’t keep concealing it from her forever."
"Ah, Ashton, you’re really miserable." Yannick Luther sighed.
Ashton Heath’s eyes narrowed, "What do you mean?"
Yannick Luther sighed softly again and said with some emotion, "From what I can see, the degree to which you care about Joanna far exceeds the degree to which she cares about you. It’s because you care about her so much, which is why you’re so worried."
"You’re afraid that if you tell Joanna about that incident, she’ll hate you and perhaps even leave you, right?"
Ashton Heath remained silent.
"It turns out that once you’re really in love, anyone can become insecure. I never thought you, Ashton, would also have such a day."
Yannick Luther was definitely not gloating.
He was just very surprised.
In the past, Ashton Heath appeared to be emotionless and detached, as if he had cut off all ties with the secular world, never to fall in love with any woman.
Who could have thought that when he fell in love, he would be ?
He would also be afraid of the one he loves leaving him.
"Ah, Ashton, you shouldn’t worry too much. Everyone has occasional bad days. Why don’t you try again with Joanna? If it doesn’t work the first time, then the second time; if it doesn’t work the second time, then the third time. It can’t always not work..."
Yannick Luther continued to share his experiences.
When Ashton Heath hung up the phone, the call duration read 46 minutes and 58 seconds.
When Ashton Heath went downstairs, he did not see Joanna Lawrence.
He asked Mr. Rowan, "Where is Ms. Joanna?"
Mr. Rowan hesitated, "Ms. Joanna said she is going to sign a contract today, and didn’t want to wait for Mr. Ashton. Hasn’t she discussed it with you?"
Confusion flickered in Mr. Rowan’s eyes once again.
Had there really been no conflicts between Mr. Ashton and Ms. Joanna?
Ashton Heath was stunned, "Did she already leave?"
Mr. Rowan could clearly feel that the moment he said those words, the air pressure around the man standing in front of him dropped by several degrees.
