She thought the funniest joke she had heard this year was this one.
Ashton Heath had mistaken chives for wheat seedlings.
When he seriously uttered the three words "wheat seedling" a moment ago, she almost choked from laughing.
Although she found it hilarious, she also thought it was very normal.
For a young master from a wealthy family like him, who grew up in a big city and was waited on hand and foot, it’s quite normal not to recognize some vegetables.
However, thinking of him confusing chives with wheat seedlings, she found it funny again.
"Ahem, this is chives." Joanna Lawrence, managing to hold back her laughter, took out the bundle of chives from the shopping cart, "We’re not using chives in our dish today. Anyways, why don’t you wait somewhere, while I buy the groceries?"
He didn’t even recognize chives.
Most likely, he wouldn’t recognize a lot of other vegetables either.
Joanna Lawrence thought it would be best if she bought the groceries by herself, swiftly and surely.
Ashton Heath pursed his lips, his face appearing a bit unnatural. After a moment of silence, he tried to hide his embarrassment and said, "I do know the vegetables. It’s just that these chives look exactly like wheat seedlings, so I mistakenly identified them."
"Wait a moment, I definitely won’t make the same mistake again."
Joanna Lawrence didn’t believe him at all.
"Just wait here, I’ll go buy the groceries. I’ll be back quickly, okay?" She reached out to push the shopping cart over, "It will take at most twenty minutes, no, ten minutes. Just wait for me for ten minutes."
"Like I said, it was just one mistake earlier."
Making such a basic mistake in front of the woman he liked, Ashton Heath really wanted to find a way to make up for it.
Would Joanna Lawrence look down on him for not even being able to identify vegetables?
Would she see him as a man lacking basic knowledge?
Ashton Heath couldn’t tolerate losing face in front of his wife. No matter what, he needed to turn the situation around.
He pushed the cart forward, enduring the odors he could hardly stand, glancing here and there, picking and choosing for a while, he finally picked up a box of ribs.
As if trying to prove that earlier was indeed just a mistake, he held the box of ribs and seriously said to Joanna Lawrence, "These are ribs, haven’t I identified it correctly?"
Joanna Lawrence: "..."
Wrongly identifying ribs should not be a common occurrence, right?
Twenty minutes later.
The two came out of the supermarket laden with goods.
With bags big and small in Ashton Heath’s hands and Joanna Lawrence following with empty hands, they arrived at the underground parking lot. When they found their car, she watched the man beside her placing the bags one by one into the trunk, an unexplainable feeling of happiness surged from the bottom of her heart.
She originally thought that a man like Ashton Heath would definitely dislike grocery shopping at the supermarket.
She knew he was obsessive about cleanliness.
When they passed by the seafood section earlier, she saw his brows furrowed. Clearly, he was having a hard time enduring the smell.
The entire time, he did not complain once and never thought of leaving early.
He patiently accompanied her as she took her time choosing.
When she suggested he wait outside, he refused.
They bought quite a bit today, and many of the items were heavy.
Ashton Heath carried all the shopping bags while Joanna Lawrence went through the whole process without carrying anything.
She originally wanted to help carry some of the lighter bags, but he rejected her offer.
Even the bag that she had been carrying was now in his hands.
Although these all seemed like minor things, it was through these trivial, everyday life moments that she felt this man’s care and love for her.
