Chapter 1681: Chapter 1673: Do You Trust Me Like This?

"But, Mom shouldn’t have treated you like that." Ashton Heath frowned slightly as he mentioned Lady Octavia, "You’re my wife, and she’s my mother. You’re both the closest people to me. I also bear an inescapable responsibility for the situation turning out like this."

"It has nothing to do with you." Joanna Lawrence wasn’t an unreasonable person, "You’ve tried to mediate before, but Mom is unhappy with me and doesn’t like me. No matter how hard you try, it won’t work."

"From the beginning, she felt we weren’t compatible. At first, she was unhappy with my family background, and now perhaps she feels I’m affecting your relationship with her, so she’s still unhappy with me."

"I know you’ve had a major falling out with Mom for my sake, Ashton. I’m really grateful for everything you’ve done for me. I’m already very content and happy, you really don’t need to feel guilty about me."

The man’s deep dark eyes looked at her, his thin lips pressed together, "Even if you suffer a little grievance, I can’t bear to see it. Let alone the grievance given by my mom. Even if you don’t mind, I do."

"But, I feel very happy." Joanna curved her lips into a smile, "I have a husband who loves me so much, Grandma is very good to me, I have a younger brother who’s good to me, now I have another older brother, and my birth parents ..."

"Ashton, I really feel fulfilled now." As Joanna spoke, her eyes sparkled, "Life can’t be perfect, and I can’t force everyone to like me. For me, as long as the people I care about care about me too, that’s enough."

Ashton could see that Joanna truly didn’t feel wronged.

She wasn’t upset about Lady Octavia’s neglect either.

So he felt a little more at ease.

Looking into her dark bright eyes, a soft spot inside his heart completely melted. He reached out and rubbed her head, speaking softly, "As long as you don’t feel wronged, that’s good. Right, there’s something else I need to explain to you?"

"What is it?"

"The woman Mom brought back, I don’t know her." Ashton thought for a moment, then added, "It was the first time I saw her."

Joanna: "..."

Why was he explaining this to her?

Could it be that he thought she’d misunderstand something?

Ashton paused for a moment before continuing, "So, don’t misunderstand."

Joanna: "..."

She was right on the money.

It was slightly amusing to her as she said, "What can I misunderstand? Don’t I know what kind of person my husband is? I have complete trust in you."

Moreover, she wasn’t like him.

Being a jealous type.

Even if she got jealous, she wouldn’t do so indiscriminately. He didn’t have to explain it to her; she could tell that he and the woman weren’t acquainted at all.

"I didn’t misunderstand." Joanna laughed, "I knew you weren’t close to her. You treated her so coldly; how could I not see that?"

Ashton nodded, and he was happy that she believed him.

However, there was still a little bit of unease in his heart when she didn’t seem to mind at all.

"Do you trust me that much?"

"Of course."

"Why?"

Joanna hadn’t sensed the slight displeasure in the man beside her. She looked up with a smiling face and said cheerfully, "Because you’re my husband. I know you wouldn’t do anything to betray me."

As Ashton looked at the girl in his arms with her cheerful smile, a certain part of his heart softened and melted once again.
