What’s the difference even if he asks or not?
Ashton Heath seemed to have thought of these two things as well, and there was a moment of uneasiness on his face. He coughed lightly, covering his mouth, "That Maddox guy, indeed, has malicious intentions. It’s right for you to stay away from him."
"Alright, I think I understand what you mean. From now on, I’ll gradually change, okay? Joanna, I know there are many things about me that aren’t very likable. If you don’t like them, I’ll change, but just give me some time."
"I’ll change, any part you don’t like, I’ll change them all."
At his core, Ashton Heath is a man with particularly strong possessiveness and controlling desires.
In front of Joanna, he has already been quite restrained.
If he reveals his true side to her, he might scare her away.
Just the pressure shown now has already made her feel tired.
How could he dare to let her know that he has actually restrained himself a lot already?
The man was almost begging her in a low and humble tone.
Joanna raised her head, looking at his cautious yet apprehensive expression, and her heart was instantly moved.
This was Ashton Heath.
He grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, always having others cater to him, never needing or wanting to ask anyone for anything.
He lowered his stance, asking and pleading with her.
When had he ever begged to someone before?
She disliked his overbearing and possessive nature.
But if he didn’t care about her that much, he probably wouldn’t even spare her a glance when he was being cold.
Is it wrong to care about someone?
When you like someone, can you really control yourself?
Facing Ashton , Joanna’s heart softened all at once.
Yes, when she first met him, she knew what kind of person he was.
His personality was formed since childhood.
With a character for over twenty years, it wouldn’t be possible for him to change overnight.
She should give him some time.
And also give herself some time.
"Alright, I promise you."
She looked at him, the indifference and alienation in her eyes fading bit by bit. She extended her hand, signaling for him to lower his head a little.
Ashton Heath immediately followed suit.
Joanna then stretched out her hand again, her soft touch falling on his handsome and profound face, stroking the distinct angles of his eyes, the prominent bridge of his nose, and finally landing on his warm, soft thin lips.
She raised her little face, locked eyes with him, and after several seconds of silence, she spoke softly, "Ashton Heath, can you promise me something too?"
The man’s gaze was very deep, focused on her, and he nodded gently, "Sure, tell me."
No matter what she asked.
He would promise her.
If she asked for the stars in the sky, he would find a way to pick them for her.
"From now on, don’t be so impulsive." Joanna frowned slightly, thinking of his earlier behavior, and couldn’t help but sigh, "Ashton Heath, since I married you, I am your wife, and the only person I will ever like from now on is you."
"I can’t guarantee other people’s thoughts, but I can guarantee my own."
Upon hearing her say the word "like", the man’s inky eyes lit up for a moment.
"So, don’t always worry about someone stealing me away. Do you have so little confidence in yourself? Do you think you’re such an unattractive man that any man could overshadow you?"
