He was startled and thought Mr. Ashton had found an underage girl.
After hearing this, Ashton Heath pressed his lips and fell silent for a while.
"Do I look much older than Ms. Joanna? Do I appear old?"
Zack’s astonished expression reflected in the rearview mirror: "Mr. Ashton, you are still so young, how would you look old? If you think you look old, what about us old folk who are over fifty years old?"
"But..." Ashton narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists, "She looks much younger than me. Zack, do you think she might feel that I’m too old and not from the same generation as her?"
"Mr. Ashton, why would you think that way? You are so outstanding with so many well-bred ladies falling for you. Even if you are a few years older than Ms. Joanna, this age difference is not an issue."
"Mr. Ashton’s other strengths can make up for this gap."
Ashton seemed uncertain, unlike his usual self-confidence, and began to doubt himself: "Will she really not mind? Will she think that I’m too dull and with a monotonous life, making our time together boring?"
She was his first woman.
And the first one he ever fell in love with.
Unlike Yannick Luther, he did not have enough love experiences to learn how to please a girl.
Even their first date was copied from Google.
As a man with no love experience, not knowing how to make her happy, and six years older than her, would she be unhappy inside?
"Mr. Ashton, you’re overthinking it. You are the heaven’s prince among men, and Ms. Joanna must like you. No other man can compare to you around her." Zack found it both surprising and emotional to see his young master showing such a lack of self-confidence for the first time.
This was not the Mr. Ashton he knew.
When had Mr. Ashton ever become so unconfident?
"Do you think she likes me?" There was still doubt in Ashton’s eyes. "Zack, are you just comforting me?"
Did Joanna Lawrence like him?
Ashton did not feel it.
She definitely didn’t dislike him, but if she liked him... at least until now, he didn’t feel it.
"Yes, Mr. Ashton," Zack said with certainty, "Ms. Joanna definitely likes you. Mr. Ashton, you are so outstanding, and you treat her so well. She has no reason not to like you. Mr. Ashton, you can be more confident. What are you worrying about? You’re more outstanding than any man around Ms. Joanna. If she doesn’t like you, then who would she like?"
Zack believed that it would be difficult to find a second man better than Mr. Ashton.
His young master was a true heaven’s prince.
In terms of wealth, appearance, and personal ability, few people could compare with him among his peers.
The boys around Ms. Joanna, who hadn’t even grown up yet, were even more incomparable.
If he were Mr. Ashton, he would have nothing to worry about.
If he could grow up like Mr. Ashton, he would walk sideways.
However, there’s no hope for him in this life.
He could only wait for the next life and see if he would be that lucky.
Zack’s words made Ashton Heath fall into deep thought. Even though Zack made perfect sense and he understood the reasoning.
He had an absolute sense of control and self-confidence in everything else, but Joanna Lawrence made him feel powerless and out of control.
