Joanna, hindered by the room door: "..."
She let out a light sigh.
Forget it, since he seems so confident, like he has everything under control, he must have prepared in advance.
She should have some faith in him.
For now... believe that he can do it.
Joanna’s expectations for Ashton Heath aren’t high, nor does she expect him to have any natural talent in culinary skills, and be able to cook a table full of delicious dishes.
Her requirements are quite low—just something edible.
As long as it’s not too hard to swallow, she thinks it’s okay.
He doesn’t want her to help, so she’s happy to take it easy.
Joanna turned and went back to the living room, glanced at the coffee table, and indeed saw a pile of various snacks on it.
All of them were her favorites.
She opened a bag of nuts, crossed her legs on the couch, took out her phone, and sent a message to Aria Rowlett on Twitter: Aria, what are you doing?
Aria probably was also playing with her phone because she quickly replied to her: Joanna, what should I do? I’m a little nervous.
Joanna: ? Why are you nervous? Aria, what are you up to?
Aria: I, I’m about to meet someone.
Joanna: Who are you going to meet?
Aria: That ugly man with terrible skills who can’t be shown in public!
Upon reading this reply, a look of surprise appeared on Joanna’s face: You’re going to meet him? How did you end up meeting him? Didn’t he say it wasn’t convenient for him to meet you? That’s why he had his assistant contact you, right? Have you met him now?
After waiting for a while, Aria replied with a long message: I thought that the matters between me and him should have ended that day. However, his assistant came to me again today, saying that he wanted to meet me and asked if I was willing to see him. He also said that there were some things he wanted to discuss with me in person. After considering it, I didn’t see a problem in meeting him, so...
Joanna: Then... you agreed?
Aria: Yeah. Joanna, if it were you, wouldn’t you be curious about that person and want to know what he looks like? I didn’t want to get involved with him again, but I really want to know what he looks like. Regardless of whether he’s ugly or not... I want to know.
Indeed, after experiencing that kind of thing, any girl would want to know what the man who took her first time looks like.
Even if Aria’s character is carefree and open-minded, she’s still a normal girl after all.
She’d definitely be curious about the man she had a special relationship with.
Joanna could understand why she agreed to meet.
But what about her? Would she want to know who the man was that night?
Previously, she probably wanted to know.
But now... she didn’t want to know at all.
She wished that what happened that night was just a dream.
An absurdly surreal dream.
After waking up from the dream, everything in it had nothing to do with her.
For the rest of her life, she didn’t want to have any connection with that man.
She was very satisfied with her current life.
She didn’t want... any changes to be caused by that night.
However, when she thinks back to that night, a trace of ripples still appear in her heart. The scenes she wants to forget still clearly emerge in her mind.
She didn’t know what he looked like.
But she could feel that he was a very domineering and strong-willed man.
While she was silent, Aria sent her another message on Twitter: Baby, I’ve arrived. No time to chat now, I’ll call you later.
