Chapter 1268: Chapter 1265: She is Already Married to Me Now

"In any case, our family will treat Joanna well."

Ashton Heath was satisfied with this response.

However, there was something he disagreed with.

"Whether Joanna is your blood relative or not, she’s already married to me. As for you saying you’d take her back, I’m afraid that’s not going to happen."

"Why not?" Gary White didn’t react immediately. As he asked the question, his face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "What did you just say? Did you say Joanna is already married to you?"

Ashton Heath looked at him calmly and nodded: "Yes."

Gary White: "..."

He stayed dumbfounded for quite some time before slowly coming to terms with the reality.

His brow furrowed: "When did this happen? Weren’t you two still dating? How did you get married all of a sudden? Why didn’t you tell me about this?"

Ashton Heath calmly replied, "She’s still young and doesn’t want people to know she got married so early. So, outwardly, we tell people we are dating. By the time I introduced her to you, we were already married."

"However, to say we’re currently dating isn’t incorrect," Ashton Heath’s lips curved into a smile, "we did indeed get married first, and then dated."

Gary White: "..."

It turned out his worry about whether the Heath family would accept Joanna was misplaced.

Such worry now seemed redundant.

"Does your family know about your marriage with Joanna? Can they accept her? Ashton, Joanna is our family’s treasure, I don’t want her to be treated unfairly." Although Gary White was yet uncertain if Joanna was indeed his sister, he already spoke to Ashton Heath like a protective older brother.

"She is not only your family’s treasure but also mine. Who would dare to treat her unfairly? As for my family’s attitude, my mother is not satisfied with her background, thinking she is not worthy of me. But no matter what my family’s attitude is, the person I chose is the best in my eyes."

Ashton Heath did not hide Lady Octavia’s dislike of Joanna.

Gary White frowned upon hearing this and his face darkened. He said in an icy voice, "Is our daughter from the White family not good enough for your Heath family? Isn’t Lady Octavia asking too much? Does she prefer girls like Rebecca Kelloway?"

Then as if recalling something, he added scoffing, "Perhaps if Lady Octavia knew about the current state of the Kelloway family, she would not think highly of them either."

"Don’t squabble." Ashton Heath laughed, "You’re aware my mother disapproves of Joanna’s Lawrence family background. It’s not even certain yet whether she’s from your White family. Besides, whether my mother likes her or not isn’t important, as she will be living with me, not my mother."

"Having family blessings is naturally the best, but if not, we won’t insist."

"Hmph. Once Joanna recognizes our White family as her own, your mother certainly won’t have any complaints."

Ashton Heath didn’t respond to this.

The White family and the Heath family are absolutely of equal social status.

All that Lady Octavia was unsatisfied with was Joanna’s lowly background. If she becomes a daughter of the White family, naturally, there won’t be anything to complain about.

"What did you mean by ’the Kelloway family situation’ you mentioned earlier?" Ashton Heath didn’t overlook a piece of information Gary White had let drop.

"The Kelloway family?" Gary White sneered, "I only found out today, the Kelloway family has been in dire straits for quite some time."
