Chapter 138: Chapter 140: He Has Already Shown Her Great Respect

She had a fiancé she had feelings for ten years, and it was impossible to forget about ten years of relationship in an instant.

Even if she appeared indifferent, deep down in her heart, she couldn’t possibly have no feelings for David Benington anymore.

And what about David Benington?

Men understand each other better and more profoundly than women do.

With just one glance, he could tell that David was still thinking about her.

If she happened to still be unable to forget her previous relationship, the two might reconcile at any time.

A nominal marriage only could not make him feel reassured.

Only by making her completely his could he feel a little more at ease.

Joanna looked at the man’s deep, passionate eyes filled with desire, her heartbeat quickened, and she nervously swallowed.

Just as she was about to say something, the man held her face, lightly kissed her forehead with restraint, and whispered softly, "Alright, you can go now. Baby, think carefully about what I’ve said; I’m a normal man, it’s hard to hold back like this. A week’s time is enough for you to adjust your state of mind."

Joanna came out of the bathroom, her cheeks still flushed.

Her heartbeat had not yet calmed down.

She was still thinking about what Ashton Heath had said.

Obviously, he was reminding her that he could only endure not touching her for two more days at most.

When the week was over, he wouldn’t hold back like this anymore.

So, in the last two days, she should be prepared for what’s coming.

Actually, he had already shown her a great deal of respect.

Knowing that she hadn’t adjusted to their relationship yet, he gave her a week’s time.

Though enduring such hardships, he withstood and didn’t touch her.

He could have chosen not to be like this.

If he insisted on doing that with her under their existing agreement, she couldn’t refuse.

The image of Ashton Heath’s deep eyes filled with desire flashed through Joanna’s mind, causing her heart to beat faster. In her blurred memory, the domineering man who took her innocence had stared at her with the same gaze.

Thinking about that night and the man, Joanna clenched her fists, feeling a bit apprehensive.

According to Zack, Ashton Heath had never been with other women before.

So, he should still be a...virgin?

Although they had only been married for a few days, and she didn’t know him very well, she could see that he had a certain obsession with cleanliness in both his life and relationships.

Could he accept that she was no longer a virgin?

If he found out that he had married a non-virgin, would he be angry, disappointed, or even despise her for being unclean?

As her mind was in turmoil, she heard the phone ringing.

It was Ashton Heath’s phone ringing.

Joanna walked over, saw the screen showing the name "Rebecca Kelloway."

Having been informed about her by Denver Lancaster earlier, Joanna was no longer unfamiliar with the name.

Thinking of Yannick Luther asking her to pass along his message earlier, Joanna guessed that Ms. Rebecca was most likely calling to say she was coming back tomorrow.

The phone rang for the third time.

As Joanna was about to hand the phone to Ashton, she heard the bathroom door being opened with a "click."

Ashton Heath, dressed in a bathrobe, came out from inside.

He wore a pure black silk bathrobe, revealing a portion of his strong, seductive chest. His damp hair still dripping water, droplets rolled down his forehead, sliding down the bridge of his high nose, and landing on his sexy thin lips...
