Chapter 1097: Chapter 1095: With your brother-in-law Ashton around, don’t worry, Joanna

He knew that Joanna liked the Old Lady, so he brought her up.

As expected, hearing the Old Lady asking about her, Joanna finally spoke up, "It’s been a while since I last saw Grandma, I miss her. I’ll go back with you then. But what about Jeremy..."

Joanna couldn’t bear to leave Jeremy alone.

"Sis, you don’t have to worry about me. Just go with your husband, I can eat by myself." Jeremy said sensibly.

Even though they had a good relationship, he knew things were different now that his sister was married.

She now had a husband, and her current family should be her priority.

But the more sensible he was, the more reluctant Joanna was to leave him alone.

It had been a while since they last met.

Now that they had just reunited, they had to part ways again.

She could hardly bear it.

Ashton could see that Joanna was reluctant to part with Jeremy, so he thought about it and said, "Jeremy can come with us. Joanna and I are married now, so we’re all family. You haven’t met the rest of my family yet."

Jeremy’s face changed immediately, "Brother-in-law, I’d rather not."

He was incredibly nervous, "You really don’t need to worry about me, I’m used to being alone."

Jeremy was instinctively afraid of meeting elders.

And it was even more terrifying since it was his brother-in-law’s family.

"You’re coming with us." Ashton’s strong-willed nature didn’t care whether Jeremy was willing or not, so he decided the matter, "You’ll have to go sooner or later anyway, might as well go early."

"Brother-in-law, I, I..." Jeremy’s face turned a little pale, still wanting to refuse, "I don’t really need to go, I’m not prepared at all, I..."

"You don’t need to prepare anything," Ashton looked at his stuttering, frightened appearance, and laughed. "It’s just a casual family dinner, just relax. Besides, what are you afraid of? My family isn’t a bunch of monsters, they won’t do anything to you."

"With Joanna and me there, are you afraid someone will give you a hard time?"

Jeremy: "...No."

He was simply nervous and scared.

He thought, considering his wealthy brother-in-law, they must not be an ordinary family.

So his family members must not be ordinary people either.

"Sis, do I really have to go?" Jeremy realized it was useless to tell Ashton he didn’t want to go, so he turned his pleading gaze to Joanna.

Joanna didn’t expect Ashton to invite Jeremy along.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked softly, "Is it okay for Jeremy to go with us?"

"There’s nothing wrong with it," Ashton reached out to pat her head, "Our families will meet eventually. It’s just a dinner, don’t be too nervous, just relax."

Joanna hesitated for a few more seconds before nodding, "Alright then."

She turned to Jeremy and said, "Jeremy, you can go with us."

Jeremy wailed, "Sis... "

Joanna chuckled and looked at him, "With your brother-in-law here, you have nothing to worry about."

Truthfully, Joanna didn’t really want Jeremy to accompany them.

She wasn’t worried about anything else except that Lady Octavia might cause Jeremy to suffer.

Lady Octavia didn’t like her, so naturally, she wouldn’t like Jeremy either.

She could put up with some grievances at Lady Octavia’s hands, but she couldn’t bear to let Jeremy suffer as well.

But Ashton was right too.
