My Secret Billionaire Husband
Chapter 1196 - 1193: Is it too late to back out now?

Chapter 1196: Chapter 1193: Is it too late to back out now?

Ah, what on earth was she thinking when she agreed to bet with Ashton Heath?

How many times had they bet, and had she ever won once?

She could already guess what Ashton wanted to ask of her. Just looking at the way he was looking at her now made her legs a bit weak.

"...I remember," Joanna Lawrence reluctantly replied.

"And shouldn’t you fulfill your promise? You said that no matter what I ask for, you’ll agree to it. You should remember that, right?" Ashton Heath approached her, his warm breath falling on her ear as he whispered the words.

Joanna blushed, raising her head and angrily staring at him, "Ashton Heath, you’re shameless!"

What a damn hooligan!

She knew it, his intentions were not good.

The man chuckled, his low voice extremely seductive, "Baby, I didn’t force you. You’re the one who said you would agree to anything I ask for. You agreed to the bet, right?"

Joanna Lawrence: "..."

Of course she knew the rules of betting.

She regretted it deeply now. Very much so, indescribably regretful!

Something must’ve been wrong with her brain back then; otherwise, she wouldn’t have initiated the bet with Ashton Heath.

Would it be too late to go back on her word now?

"Alright, let’s talk about this later. There’s plenty of time, no need to rush." Ashton Heath teased her for a bit before putting the joke aside. "Today, we still have more important matters to attend to."

"More important matters?" Joanna’s attention was immediately diverted by his words, looking at him in confusion, "What’s that?"

Ashton Heath smiled and reached out to stroke her silky, black hair. It felt so smooth, just like silk that he couldn’t get enough of. "Have you forgotten that there’s a banquet tomorrow night? Before that, we need to choose an evening dress for you."

A banquet?

Only then did Joanna remember that tomorrow night was Gary White’s birthday party.

She also realized she hadn’t prepared anything for it.

Thankfully, Ashton was thoughtful enough to remind her.

When she first moved to Ashton’s place, Mark had helped her purchase a lot of clothes, shoes, bags, and jewelry.

But they were all daily wear items.

She didn’t seem to have an evening dress.

"Alright," Joanna thought for a moment and nodded, "Also, we can pick out a gift for Mr. White. The age of thirty is quite a significant milestone for men. We should choose a thoughtful gift for him."

Considering the care Gary White had always shown her and even allowing her to play Female Lead 1 on the screen,

Joanna decided that she would carefully choose a birthday gift for Gary White.

However, she was unsure of what Gary liked. Thinking that Ashton had known him for a longer time, she asked, "Ashton, do you know what Mr. White generally likes? When I go to buy a birthday gift later, could you help me out with some suggestions?"

Seeing his wife so enthusiastic about picking a gift for another man, Ashton couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous, "What does he like? He loves beautiful women the most. Find a beauty to give him, and he’ll definitely be pleased."

Joanna Lawrence: "..."

"Ashton Heath, be serious," she said, exasperated, "You’ve known Mr. White for so many years, you should have a good idea of his preferences."
