Joanna Lawrence looked at him with a touched expression on her face.
Wow, what a treasure of a man Ashton Heath is.
Such an understanding and kind husband, she really met one.
People say she must have saved the Milky Way in her past life, and she feels the same way now.
In her past life, she must have done many, many good deeds.
So, God arranged for her to meet a perfect man like Ashton Heath in this life.
"Ashton Heath, you’re too good to me." Joanna’s eyes filled with tears as she pounced into his arms and hugged him, acting spoiled. "Why are you treating me so well? If you treat me so well, I might become proud and spoiled."
"I might also become more and more willful, turning into someone you don’t like."
"Well, then just be proud and spoiled." Ashton enjoyed his little wife’s initiative to embrace him, his long arm stretched out, hugging the slender waist of the young girl, and smelling the fragrance of her hair. "You can be as willful as you want in front of me."
"I like it when you’re willful with me."
If she always behaved well in front of him, being docile and gentle, he didn’t think it would be a good thing.
He didn’t need her to be like that.
What he wanted was a real her.
One that could act according to her own desires in front of him.
"But that’s how all of you men are." Joanna lay in his arms, playing with the buttons on his shirt collar. "You say it’s okay now, but when a woman really becomes willful and unreasonable, you’ll find it annoying and dislike it."
Ashton furrowed his brows slightly, looking down at her with a hint of displeasure in his expression. "Who told you that? ’You men’? Do you really know men that well?"
Did he focus on the wrong thing?
From his tone, she knew that he must be jealous again, imagining things that didn’t exist.
Then getting jealous over his imaginary situations.
She raised her head helplessly and smiled at him. "I read it in a book. Plus, I’ve seen many real-life examples too. Although I don’t know men that well, I think this is true, isn’t it?"
During the honeymoon period, everything seems perfect, and even if one is willful, it won’t be a turn off.
But after the honeymoon period...
Although she thought Ashton was different from most men, she used to think the same of David Benington too.
No one can predict the future.
But at this moment, she could feel that he was genuinely caring and loving her.
"That’s only true for some men." Ashton furrowed his eyebrows lightly, as if he was unhappy with her statement, his hand gripping her chin. Deep, dark eyes staring into hers, he whispered word by word, "But not with me."
"I don’t know what other men are like, but I know what kind of person I am. What you just said will never happen to me. I know that saying this now doesn’t prove anything, but I’ll show you."
"Baby, can we both have more confidence in me and in us?"
Under his gentle and affectionate gaze, Joanna gently nodded her head.
For Ashton Heath, she was willing to trust a little more.
