Chapter 1092: Chapter 1090: She Still Feels Sad in Her Heart

Maddox Allenson listened to her words, lowered his eyes and fell silent for a while, and then nodded.

Joanna Lawrence continued to chat with him about some future plans and ideas.

About half an hour later, she was ready to leave.

"Ms. Joanna, may I ask you a more personal question?"

Joanna had already reached the door when Maddox suddenly called out to stop her.

Joanna stopped in her tracks, turned her head with a puzzled look, and asked: "What does Mr. Allenson want to ask me?"

After hesitating for a few seconds, Maddox finally met her gaze and asked softly, "Ms. Joanna, is your boyfriend... good to you? Are you happy when you’re with him?"

Joanna was a bit surprised: "Mr. Allenson..."

Maddox immediately said, "If Ms. Joanna doesn’t want to answer, just pretend I never asked."

Joanna felt it was a good opportunity to clear things up with him.

If he really had any ideas about her, he could give up early.

After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Mr. Allenson, do you want the truth?"

Maddox: "Of course."

Joanna smiled, nodded, and then continued, "He is very, very good to me, and when I am with him, I am very, very happy. Actually, there is something that even my agent doesn’t know, but I think Mr. Allenson will definitely keep it a secret for me, so I’ve decided to tell you."

"Mr. Allenson, I’m actually already married. My boyfriend is my husband. Because I signed a contract with the company, our relationship cannot be made public for now."

Maddox’s face suddenly changed, and he looked at her incredulously: "You’re already married?"

"Yes," Joanna nodded, her gaze calm.

Maddox’s shocked expression lingered for a long time without uttering a word.

His already pale complexion seemed to turn even paler.

After seeing Maddox Allenson, Joanna took a flight back to Closia.

After getting off the plane, she went to the Heath Group with Cody Aberton.

When she arrived at the Heath Group, she discovered that Ashton Heath was not in the company but had gone out to talk to someone.

Joanna then waited for him in his office.

She got up early in the morning and flew for several hours back and forth. While waiting, she fell asleep in the office.

When she woke up again and opened her eyes, she found herself sleeping on the small bed in the rest area.

She knew then that Ashton had returned.

This nap lasted more than three hours, after which she felt much more refreshed.

She walked out of the resting area and saw Ashton sitting at his desk, staring intently at the computer screen, his fingers flying across the keyboard.

He was clearly working very hard.

However, as soon as Joanna stepped out of the resting area, he turned his head and looked directly at her. Before saying anything, a pampering smile appeared in his eyes, "Baby, you’re awake. Did you sleep well?"

Joanna walked towards him.

When she was still half a meter away from him, he reached out and pulled her into his arms.

She stumbled into the man’s embrace, his strong arms wrapping around her waist.

Before she could say anything, he pinched her chin and kissed her.

A few minutes later.

Joanna lay in his arms, gently gasping for breath, her face tinged with a touch of crimson.

Ashton straightened her hair and stroked her blushing cheeks, speaking softly, "I’ve almost finished with the things at hand. How do you want to spend the evening?"

Joanna glanced at the time, and it was still early.

"Why don’t we pick up Jeremy and have dinner together?" Joanna hadn’t seen Jeremy for a while, and she missed him.

Ashton nodded, "Okay, let’s pick up Jeremy first. I haven’t seen him for a while either."

Ashton really liked his little brother-in-law, Jeremy. Although his fondness for Jeremy had something to do with Joanna, Jeremy himself was also very likable.

Once they had decided on this, Joanna sent a Twitter message to Jeremy.

*

Jeremy usually stayed at school.

Because Joanna went to Frankfurt for the film shooting, even though he had his own room at Ashton’s place, he still stayed at school on weekends and didn’t go to Ashton’s.

Although Ashton was already his brother-in-law,

the time Jeremy spent with him was short after all.

Upon receiving Joanna’s Twitter message, Jeremy was overjoyed.

He hadn’t seen Joanna in a while, and he missed his sister deeply. Even though they hadn’t been apart for very long, he still longed for her.

After the two of them had agreed on a time, Jeremy went back to his dormitory, changed his clothes, and went to the school gate to wait in advance.

While he was waiting, a black Bentley slowly pulled up next to him.

Seeing the black Bentley beside him, Jeremy’s face changed slightly.

Soon, he saw a familiar petite figure emerge from the doorway and walk toward the parked black Bentley.

When the petite figure caught sight of Jeremy standing on the roadside, she paused her steps, locking eyes with him for a few seconds before continuing forward.

Jeremy wanted to turn away and leave, but his feet felt rooted to the ground, unable to move.

As the petite figure passed by him, he straightened his body, clenching his fists at his sides.

He averted his gaze, deliberately not looking at her while casting his eyes on the bustling street instead.

Yet even so, her figure still lingered in his peripheral vision.

He couldn’t help but pay attention to her.

"Jeremy,"

the petite figure passing by suddenly stopped and called out to him softly.

Jeremy’s body instantly tensed up.

His heart raced for a moment.

He took a deep breath, tightened his fists, and reluctantly turned around.

Regina Kelloway stood not far from him, silently watching him.

Jeremy looked up, met her gaze, and then said after a moment of silence, "Regina, is there something you need?"

With a bitter smile on her lips at his address, Regina replied, "Nothing much, I just saw you and wanted to say hello. Where are you going? Do you want... me to take you there?"

Jeremy hesitated before shaking his head in refusal. "Thanks, but my sister is coming to pick me up in a bit."

"Is that so," Regina knew he probably wasn’t lying, but her heart still ached.
