If he saw the gossip about her and Frank Parker, she would have to explain and coax him again for a long time.
They chatted for a few more moments before hanging up the phone.
Just as she hung up, a voice conveying no discernible emotion sounded at the same time: "Your agent called you? I just heard you mention Sean Parker. Is there something related to him?"
Joanna Lawrence looked up holding her phone.
She wanted to say it was nothing, but thinking that the rumors had definitely spread like wildfire, it would be worse if she didn’t tell him the truth now, and he found out later.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she recounted everything about the situation in detail.
"Anyway, it’s just a coincidence that he and I will be on the same flight. Don’t believe any of the hyped-up things, they’re all fake."
Ashton Heath listened, his expression unchanging.
He picked up his phone, logged into his blog, and searched for the gossip between Joanna and Frank Parker.
After roughly reading through the content of the gossip, he closed his phone.
The man looked up, his handsome face expressionless as he spoke, his voice a bit cold: "What’s the deal with the eye mask?"
"Huh?" Joanna was taken aback.
Ashton pursed his lips, furrowed his brows and looked at her with a touch of displeasure for a few seconds before speaking: "You gave him an eye mask? I thought you and Frank didn’t get along. Why would you give him a gift?"
What’s even more irritating is that he had just taken a look.
The eye mask worn by Frank Parker and the one Joanna wore were both pink.
One was a little bunny, and the other was a little kitty.
It looked like they were wearing couple’s eye masks.
And what kind of look was that guy giving her?
He wanted to gouge out that guy’s eyes.
He actually dared to stare at his wife like that.
Ashton was upset that Joanna had never given him an eye mask.
He couldn’t be getting jealous over this, right?
To avoid him becoming overly jealous, she hurriedly stood up, walked over to him, grabbed his arm, and anxiously explained: "I was thinking he had helped me once before, and the eye mask wasn’t anything valuable. When he asked me where I bought it, I gave him one."
"Really, I bought it on E-Bay, three for ten dollars!"
The man’s face was still tense, but his face looked slightly better than before due to the girl’s timely appeasement: "So you can just casually give away those that are three for ten dollars? You never gave me any."
By the end of his statement, his tone had become somewhat resentful and even carried a hint of grievance.
Joanna’s mouth twitched, and she almost couldn’t help but laugh.
Every time Ashton gets jealous, he’s like a child.
Very different from his usual image.
She had heard that when a man truly falls for a woman, he will only show his childish side in front of her.
So, even though this man gets jealous easily and is overly-sensitive about emotions, when Joanna thought about how he became a jar of vinegar because he cared for and loved her, her heart couldn’t help but melt.
Basically, she couldn’t find it in her to blame him for anything.
"So, what do you want?"
She looked at him with amusement, finding this jealous Ashton incredibly adorable. So, when she tried to coax him, she used a tone one would use to coax a child: "When you get off work, we can go shopping at the mall, and I’ll buy you one too? Hmmm, I’ll get you an expensive one, alright?"
