My Secret Billionaire Husband
Chapter 1242 - 1239: She’s thinking about how to start the conversation.

Chapter 1242: Chapter 1239: She’s thinking about how to start the conversation.

Ashton Heath’s brow furrowed instantly.

His impression of the term "lick the screen" instantly soured.

He didn’t want any other women to lick their screens over him.

Only Joanna Lawrence was allowed to do that.

However, Joanna was his wife, and she could do anything she wanted with him anytime, so there was no need for her to "lick the screen."

"Joanna."

Ashton grabbed Joanna’s hand, and under her slightly surprised gaze, he earnestly promised her word by word, "I am yours. I am yours no matter what. So don’t pay attention to what other women say; they can never have me."

"Only you have the right to possess me."

Joanna Lawrence: "..."

His sudden seriousness made her feel a little uncomfortable.

But she loved such sweet words.

She looked up at the man’s deep and affectionate eyes, smiled, took a step forward, stood on her tiptoes, and hooked her slender arm around his neck. For the first time, she said to him in a strong and assertive voice, "Yes, Ashton Heath, you are mine. You cannot have feelings for any other woman besides me. You can only belong to me alone in this life."

To make things convenient for Jeremy Lawrence, Ashton and Joanna chose a restaurant near his school.

After arriving at the restaurant, the wait staff led them to a reserved private room.

Once the wait staff left.

Jeremy sat uneasily across from the couple, his hands tightly clasped together. He glanced at Ashton, then at Joanna, and asked, "Sis, bro-in-law, what’s the matter with you guys asking to see me? Is it... is there a problem with my surgery?"

Since he was attending boarding school.

Joanna usually met with him on weekends during breaks.

She rarely visited his school on non-holiday days.

Jeremy felt that something was amiss.

Seeing Joanna’s hesitating expression, he was even more certain of his conjecture.

There was something wrong with his sister.

After thinking about it, Jeremy felt that it was most likely related to his upcoming surgery.

"No, it’s not about your surgery." Seeing Jeremy’s anxiety, Joanna immediately denied it, "Ashton said that your surgery can be done in a little while, and with him as the chief surgeon, there won’t be any problems."

"Not about my surgery?"

Jeremy was even more curious as he breathed a sigh of relief, "Then what is it? Sis, bro-in-law, you must have something to tell me, right?"

Joanna pursed her lips and turned to look at Ashton.

She was thinking about how to broach the subject.

Even though she and Jeremy were close, she didn’t know how he would react if he learned about his real identity.

Would he accept it or not?

But no matter what, this matter had to be told to Jeremy eventually.

Ashton met her gaze, held her hand lightly, and signaled with his eyes not to worry.

Then, holding her hand, he turned his gaze to Jeremy, thought for a moment, and spoke softly, "Jeremy, your sister and I indeed have something to tell you today."

Jeremy had already guessed it, so his reaction was calm.

"Okay, sis, bro-in-law, just tell me directly." He paused, obviously still nervous but trying to appear nonchalant, "No matter what it is, I can handle
