My Secret Billionaire Husband
Chapter 140 - 142: Ashton, is she really that great?

Chapter 140: Chapter 142: Ashton, is she really that great?

"No." Ashton Heath interrupted her with a deep voice, "No one can force me to do something I don’t want to do. It’s my own choice."

"Do you like her then?" The woman’s voice trembled slightly, "Weren’t you unable to touch women? Is your condition better now?"

"She’s an exception." Ashton Heath rubbed his temples, looking at the girl coming out of the bathroom with a hairdryer, the corners of his lips deepening a smile, "I can touch her."

"So you married her just because of that?"

"Yes, but not entirely."

"Ashton...marriage is not a game; you shouldn’t be casual about it..."

"That’s enough." The woman’s advice made Ashton Heath show a hint of impatience, and his tone chilled, "I know how to handle my own affairs. Is there anything else?"

There was silence for a few seconds before the woman’s voice became a bit hoarse: "I’ll be back in the country tomorrow, arriving in Closia at 10:30 in the morning. Can you pick me up?"

Joanna Lawrence walked to Ashton Heath’s side with a hairdryer in hand.

Just as she plugged in the hairdryer, the man pulled her into his arms.

She was pressed to sit on his lap, and his powerful arm wrapped around her waist, pinching her soft flesh before speaking to the woman on the other end of the phone, "I have an important meeting tomorrow morning. I’ll have Grady and Frank pick you up."

"What meeting is so important? Is it more important than me?" the woman complained dissatisfiedly.

"Rebecca, you’re not a child, don’t be capricious."

"Humph, if it was your wife coming back, wouldn’t you pick her up?"

Wife?

Ashton Heath lowered his gaze to the girl in his arms and met Joanna’s shining black eyes. His lips curved up, and his tone softened by a notch, "Of course not. If it was her, I’d put everything aside to pick her up."

"..."

After a few seconds, the woman’s voice rang again, seemingly with a challenging tone, "Ashton, is she that good?"

Ashton Heath: "Yes."

"Alright, it doesn’t matter if you don’t pick me up. You’ll have time to come to the welcome dinner in the evening, right? Bring your newlywed wife, too? We all agreed before that when one of us finds a partner, we’d introduce them to the group."

"I’ll ask her." Ashton Heath moved the phone a bit away and stroked the girl’s head in his arms, with a grin, "Rebecca is coming back, and Grady and the others have arranged a welcome dinner for her tomorrow night. Will you go with me?"

"They said they want to meet you."

Another day, and it would be the weekend.

Joanna was free tomorrow night.

She thought about it and asked, "Is it okay for me to go? Will it interfere with you guys?"

"There’s nothing inconvenient about it. They’ve been my friends for years, and they’re curious about you since they heard we got married. They’ve been clamoring to meet you. Joanna, not only do you need to try to accept me after marrying me, but you also need to gradually integrate into my social circle."

"I want to introduce you to my friends as soon as possible."

Joanna was silent for a few seconds before nodding gently, "Alright then, I’ll go."

For her, Ashton Heath’s approach was actually a kind of recognition.

He truly considered her his wife, which is why he was willing to introduce her to his best friends.

If she refused, he would surely be angry.

When he saw her nod, the man curled the corner of his lips and gently rubbed her head before replying to the woman on the other end of the phone, "I’ll bring her tomorrow night. You all behave then; she’s timid, so don’t scare her. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now."
