Chapter 167: Chapter 168: Afraid That You’ll Be Bullied Without Me

"I’m your husband, the one who will be with you for a lifetime. In front of me, you don’t need to be strong, and you don’t need to have any reservations."

Joanna Lawrence lay on the man’s warm and solid chest, listening to him say those words in a deep and gentle voice by her ear, her tears becoming more and more uncontrollable, and she burst into tears.

She thought about the various scenes when Mrs. Madelyn Lawrence was still alive.

Thinking about how Benjamin Lawrence used to spoil her.

The more she reminisced, the sadder she became...

All the negative emotions that had been accumulated in her heart for a long time were released in an instant.

She hugged Ashton Heath, crying bitterly.

*

In the end, Joanna was carried to the car by Ashton Heath.

She cried for too long, cried until her whole body was drained of energy.

Crying so heartily is more exhausting than running several thousand meters in one breath.

Once in the car,

Ashton Heath didn’t let her go, holding her in his arms and letting her sit on his lap.

Joanna’s entire body was limp, leaning against him weakly.

Ashton smoothed her hair with one hand and wiped away the tear tracks on her face with a handkerchief, spot by spot.

Joanna, leaning in his arms, motionless as he wiped her tears and combed her hair, was like a soft and cute kitten, her eyes slightly narrowed, obediently enjoying her master’s service.

"Mr. Ashton, should we go back to the company?"

Zack also got into the car, respectfully asking.

Ashton Heath raised his wrist to check the time, nodded, "Yes, back to the company."

There were still many things left unfinished in the company.

He had to go back to deal with them.

Actually, he was very busy today, with many things to do, and important matters at that.

Even he didn’t know how he could put down all those important tasks and come here this time.

Although she said she could handle it and that he didn’t need to worry,

But he was still uneasy without coming.

Worried that she would be wronged, worried that she would be bullied, worried about her...

Worried about many, many things.

At first, they got married simply because of her special connection to him, but just a few days after their marriage, he really began to care for her.

Hearing him say that he had to go back to the company, Joanna raised her head and asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you still have to go back to the company?"

Ashton Heath lowered his head to look at her, his voice very gentle, "Yes, there are some things that haven’t been dealt with yet, so I need to go back again."

"If you’re so busy, why did you still..." Joanna bit her lip, looking at the man’s handsome and noble face, asking softly.

"I was worried about you."

Ashton Heath saw her still somewhat swollen half-face, his eyes cooled down, sighed softly, "I was afraid that you would be bullied when I wasn’t around. I didn’t expect that I would still be late."

She still got slapped.

The man spoke frankly.

The words "I was worried about you" made Joanna’s heart race.

Especially when the pair of deep black eyes looked at her, she felt like she had been pulled into the abyss of his gaze.

She might be unable to get out again unwittingly.

Even though they hadn’t known each other for a long time, and their feelings hadn’t reached a deep level, his kindness towards her made her a little flustered.

No one’s efforts are made without expecting a return.

When he was so good to her, how should she repay him?

After thinking about it, he seemed to lack nothing.

The only thing she could return to him... was her body.
