My Secret Billionaire Husband
Chapter 1302 - 1298: I’ve thought it through, and I’m returning to the Heath family.

Chapter 1302: Chapter 1298: I’ve thought it through, and I’m returning to the Heath family.

"At that time, the next heir of Heath Group had not been decided yet, and your father had done something disgraceful, which would have caused him to be disqualified as an heir. In order to allow you to be included in the Heath family lineage, he didn’t hesitate to give up competing for the position of heir."

"So, Jeremy, your father... actually loved you very much. It was just that his wife couldn’t accept you, so that’s why you were later sent to the orphanage."

"If you want to return to the Heath family now, I’m afraid his wife will not be happy about it. Jeremy, she had hidden it from your father years ago and had you taken away, even trying to harm you, so I’m afraid she will do the same now, trying to get someone to deal with you."

Jeremy Lawrence stayed silent for a moment, his eyes reddening. He slowly raised his head, pursed his lips and spoke in a surprisingly calm voice, "Joanna, that means I need to become stronger now in order to protect myself, right?"

"Jeremy, Ashton said that once you return to the Heath family, she will be somewhat restrained."

Jeremy Lawrence pursed his lips and stayed silent for a few more seconds before nodding, "Joanna, I understand what you mean."

"Joanna," A few seconds later, Jeremy Lawrence raised his head, and there was more determination in his eyes, "I’ve thought it through, I’ll return to the Heath family."

Joanna Lawrence hesitated at this moment.

"Are you sure you’ve thought it through? Jeremy, don’t force yourself..."

"Not forcing." Jeremy Lawrence slowly curved up the corners of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes. His clear, young voice carried a hint of coldness, "Joanna, in fact, I’ve already thought it through. Only by making myself stronger and stronger, can I protect myself and protect you."

"I need an identity that allows me to become stronger. In this way, you will have an extra person from your own family to back you up. Joanna, do you know that when I saw you being wronged by Lady Octavia earlier, I was really angry."

"But what could I do for you at that time?"

"Lady Octavia wouldn’t even take me seriously."

"At that moment, I was determined to work hard to become stronger. Someday, I want to make everyone stop looking down on the two of us."

"Jeremy." Joanna Lawrence’s eyes moistened, moved to the point of tears.

She never expected that Jeremy was willing to return to the Heath family for her sake.

He said he wanted to protect her...

Even if they were not biological siblings, what does that matter?

The bond between them had already surpassed that of many real siblings.

Joanna Lawrence’s heart was filled with warmth and emotion. Unable to hold back, she buried her head in Jeremy’s arms and cried, "Jeremy, I don’t need you to protect me. All I want is for you to be well."

"If you don’t want to return to the Heath family, then don’t. Don’t force yourself because of me."

"Joanna, I don’t feel it’s forced." Jeremy Lawrence only hesitated for a moment before hugging Joanna, gently stroking her head like comforting a child, "I’ve seriously thought about it for a long time. This is my own decision, and no one can force me."

"Just now you said that my father loves me, right? I’m not going back to be mistreated, so you don’t have to worry about me."

"Joanna, I want to meet him alone."

After meeting Jeremy Lawrence, Joanna Lawrence told Ashton Heath of his decision.

Upon hearing this, Ashton Heath didn’t show much surprise.

Joanna Lawrence looked at him, "Did you know that Jeremy would choose to return to the Heath family from the very beginning?"

Ashton Heath smirked, "Jeremy is a smart kid; he just made the choice he should have made.
