So, that’s what she meant by default.
Joanna Lawrence: "..."
Did he really misunderstand the meaning of her last sentence?
She felt that it wasn’t her who always thought about getting a divorce; it was him.
Otherwise, why would he be so sensitive about it?
Upon figuring out the reason, she couldn’t help but laugh and stretched her hand to pinch his face, "Ashton Heath, can you trust me more? Why did you think of divorce? I was just expressing my attitude."
The man allowed her to pinch his face freely, still looking serious, but his eyes weren’t as cold, "Are you sure you don’t mean that? Then what do you mean? When we’re still husband and wife, you won’t do anything dishonest to me. Does that mean after we divorce, you will?"
"You’re still saying you haven’t thought about divorcing me?"
Joanna Lawrence: "..."
My God, how could this man think ?
"You have thought about it, haven’t you?" Ashton Heath’s dark eyes narrowed, seeming a bit aggressive, "You don’t have confidence in our marriage, you think we won’t last. You think we’ll eventually divorce."
"Even if our relationship is good now, and we’re getting along well. But such harmony and peace are temporary, and everything will change over time, right?"
"Because we’re husband and wife, you’ll stick to the moral bottom line and not do anything against that. Is that the only reason?"
"No, Ashton Heath, can you listen to me for a moment?" Joanna Lawrence didn’t want to be interrupted again, so she covered his mouth and spoke first, "Listen to me, at the very beginning of our marriage, I did think about divorcing you."
"You know why we ended up together. Under that circumstance, anyone would think that this marriage wouldn’t last long. But later on, as I got to know you, you treated me so well, and treated Jeremy so well too..."
"And then, I gradually became hopeful for our marriage, I felt that marrying you wasn’t so bad after all, and started to think about staying with you for the long run."
"I did think about divorce at first, but later on, I never thought about it again."
"Also, I can rephrase what I said earlier." She looked into the man’s dark eyes and spoke earnestly, "Ashton Heath, you’re my husband, the man I’m going to spend the rest of my life with. My heart isn’t that big, and I don’t have room for many people in it."
"Once some places are occupied, there’s no room left for others."
"So, can you trust me a little more?"
"Can you have more confidence in yourself? Do you think that after having such an excellent and perfect husband, I’d still be interested in other men? Which man could be even better than you and attract me more?"
The frost in the man’s eyes melted bit by bit.
Joanna Lawrence felt the coldness on him gradually lessen, and she couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
It seemed like he was about to be appeased.
"Ashton Heath..." She made her voice even softer, sweeter, and more coquettish, knowing he liked such demeanor, she held his face and kissed him proactively, "Stop being angry, okay? Have you had dinner yet? Are you hungry? I haven’t eaten either, let me order some takeout and we’ll eat together, alright?"
