Chapter 141: Chapter 142: Has He Gone Mad?

After he finished talking, Ashton Heath hung up the phone.

He tossed his phone aside, his arms encircling the young girl in his embrace. His chiseled jaw rested on the top of her head, rubbing gently. "Rebecca Kelloway is quite laid-back. She may seem bad-tempered at first, but she’s actually a very warmhearted person. As for Grady and Sean Parker, they’re known for their boisterous behavior. They have a bad reputation and don’t seem like good people in the eyes of ordinary folks, but really, they’re just a bit careless in their personal lives. They’re not evil-hearted."

"Grady is quite a character. And Sean Parker, well, he has a bit of a temper and some strange quirks. If he bothers you, feel free to ignore him."

"All in all, you’re my girl and my wife. No matter what kind of people they are, they won’t dare to get out of line in front of you. You can rest assured."

Ashton Heath was giving Joanna Lawrence a heads-up about what was to come.

Those brats, indeed, were not the best kind of people.

He was well aware of their characters, but his little lamb was not.

Joanna silently listened, then obediently nodded, "Okay, I got it. Tomorrow evening, I’ll stay right by your side, and won’t go anywhere else. Is that okay?"

Ashton Heath pinched her chin, leaning down to peck her lips, "Good girl."

On the other end of the world, in Petersburg.

Rebecca Kelloway clenched her phone, her brow furrowed in worry.

She scrolled through her contacts to find Yannick Luther’s number and dialed his mobile number.

After two rings, Yannick Luther’s languid voice came through the line. "Ms. Rebecca, why are you calling me again? Missing me so soon? I bet your longing for me is like torrential river water, ceaseless and unending. You’re probably so smitten that you can’t extricate yourself. Even so, try to hold back for now, we’ll meet tomorrow. If you really miss me that much, I can video call you, would you like that?"

Listening to his casual humor, Rebecca Kelloway’s frown deepened, "I’m not thinking about you at all! Grady, I’m not in the mood for joking around. There’s something I want to ask you, and you need to be honest."

"So serious?" Yannick Luther was still grinning, "What’s up?"

Rebecca Kelloway bit her lip, hesitating for a second before asking, "Do you know that Ashton is getting married?"

"You mean that?" Yannick Luther seemed to be taken back, his tone slightly more serious, "Did he tell you himself?"

"Yes," Rebecca Kelloway closed her eyes, a shadow passing through them, "Although he told me himself, I still can’t believe it’s true. You know how he feels about women. How could he suddenly get married?"

"He wouldn’t treat his own marriage lightly."

After listening to her, Yannick Luther was silent for a moment before responding, "I’m not quite sure what’s going on, but the marriage is definitely happening. You know Ashton, he wouldn’t joke about such matters."

"The bride sounds quite young, like an adorable girl. Ashton mentioned she’s still a student and very innocent. I don’t know more than that."

"A student?" Rebecca Kelloway was taken aback.

"Yes, a student."

"Has Ashton lost his mind?" Rebecca Kelloway took a deep breath, her face slightly pale, "He actually chose a student? Do Lady Octavia and Sir Darren know about this?"

"I don’t know about that. But I heard that Lady Octavia wants to arrange a match between Ashton and the Vane family’s daughter. Most likely, they are not aware of Ashton’s marriage."
