Chapter 1049: Chapter 1047: Every time you’re like this, I feel scared.

"Yes." Linda nodded, "Apparently that woman is David Benington’s new girlfriend. It was David that kept pestering Joanna and refused to let her go, but his new girlfriend mistook it as if Joanna was the one clinging to him, so she took action. When the woman suddenly came over, we didn’t react in time to stop her."

Linda really detested David Benington.

So if there was a chance to make David suffer, she would definitely not be lenient.

Seeing the colder and more gloomy expression on Ashton Heath’s face, she added fuel to the fire, "David is so shameless. He was the one who betrayed Joanna and broke up with her, and now he wants to get back with her and keeps pestering her. Mr. Ashton, you have no idea how disgusting he is. He said a lot of things to insult Joanna."

"But later, he was slapped in the face by Mr. Parker. In front of Mr. Parker, he was as submissive as a grandson, not even daring to let out a fart. It’s so satisfying to see him act like such a coward, hahaha."

"Mr. Parker, you mean Frank Parker? He was here just now?" Ashton Heath’s face changed instantly, his eyebrows furrowed.

"Yes, just now Mr. Parker..." Linda stopped halfway through her sentence when she saw Ashton Heath’s face change, immediately holding her tongue.

She realized that she seemed to have said something she shouldn’t have.

"Well, Mr. Ashton, Joanna, I have something to do, so I’ll leave first. I won’t disturb you two anymore." Feeling the man’s increasing aura of anger, Linda decided to retreat first.

"Joanna, we’ll talk on the phone if there’s anything." After making a phone call gesture, Linda turned around, hailed a taxi, and left.

Ashton Heath’s face was still gloomy.

Standing beside him, Joanna Lawrence felt the waves of coldness emanating from his body. She bit her lip hesitantly for a moment, then gently tugged at his sleeve, "Are you still angry? Is it because of David? I didn’t expect to run into him here either."

Ashton Heath glanced down at her with a cold expression, "Do you think I’m angry because of David?"

"Isn’t it?" Joanna touched her still swollen face, looked up at his expression, hesitated for a few seconds, and then asked quietly, "Or is it because I was hit and you’re very angry about it?"

Ashton Heath pursed his lips without speaking, his gaze falling on the place where she had been hit. His eyes darkened, and a touch of ruthlessness flashed in them.

"Ashton, say something." Joanna tugged gently at his sleeve again, her voice soft and delicate, sounding a bit pitiful, "Tell me why you’re angry. Don’t be silent."

"Every time you’re like this, I get scared."

"I’m not angry at you." Ashton Heath sighed softly, turned around, and pulled her into his embrace.

He caressed the side of her face that had been hit with great care, "I was just thinking that when you got hurt, I wasn’t by your side. I didn’t protect you properly, letting others bully you time and time again. I’m not a qualified good husband."

"It’s not your fault." Joanna also hugged him back, "And besides, I already got that slap back. Don’t worry, I won’t let myself be taken advantage of."

"But you were slapped." Ashton Heath thought about what Linda had just said and his eyes darkened, "Merely returning the slap isn’t enough. I’ll make those who hit you pay the price."
