Chapter 201: Chapter 203: But Why Would It Be Sad?

"Really!" Joanna Lawrence smiled at him again, as if she really didn’t mind, "You’ve already explained the reason to me. I can truly understand."

"Baby, you are more important to me than anything else. Don’t think too much, you are still the same in my heart as before, and I won’t divorce you because of this. And you are not allowed to think about divorce again."

"You don’t need to worry about Jeremy. When the right time comes, I will have the surgery for him."

"Mm."

Joanna still looked obedient and clever: "I understand."

Ashton Heath stared at her for a while, still feeling a little uneasy: "Do you really believe in what I said?"

"Yes, really."

"Won’t think too much?"

"Mm, I won’t."

"Not lying to me?"

"No!"

"That’s good." He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, reached out to touch her head, and printed a gentle kiss on her forehead, "Then I’ll go to the study?"

"Mm, go ahead." Joanna nodded.

Ashton Heath softly said, "Is Jeremy being discharged from the hospital tomorrow? I happen to be free tomorrow, and I will go with you to pick him up."

Joanna nodded: "Mm, the doctor said he can be discharged tomorrow."

Ashton Heath smiled again: "After he’s discharged, let’s have a good celebration for him."

"Okay."

Ashton Heath seemed to be afraid that she would think too much. He chatted with her for a long time, until he felt that she really didn’t mind and wouldn’t think too much anymore, then he left.

At the moment when the bedroom door closed, the smile on Joanna’s lips disappeared instantly.

She slowly adjusted her clothes, maintaining the same posture as she leaned on the head of the bed and sat for a long time.

As expected, he still dislikes her, doesn’t he?

Even though he said so many comforting words, if he didn’t dislike her, why would he stop halfway?

Obviously, at first, he really wanted her.

But, even if he dislikes her, it’s normal, right?

She is originally... soiled.

Being violated by a man whose appearance she doesn’t even know, his distrust for her is very normal, isn’t it?

Everything is within expectations.

Everything is within reason.

The only thing that was unexpected was that she was actually sad.

She thought she wouldn’t care.

But why is she sad?

Study Room.

Ashton Heath stood in front of a large floor-to-ceiling window.

Outside the window, the night was dark, with pale moonlight pouring in, a shallow layer of white frost like spreading at his feet.

He frowned slightly, took a sip of red wine, and hesitated for a few seconds before taking out his cell phone and making a call.

It only rang half a sound, and the other side answered.

A lazy voice came over, with a hint of ambiguous huskiness, teasingly mocking, "Ashton, I used to understand when you were a sexless person who would call me in the middle of the night. But now that you’re married, shouldn’t you be enjoying your married life at this time instead of calling your brother? Could it be that you encountered some problem during that process and wanted to consult me? If that’s the case, you’ve come to the right person."

Ashton Heath’s voice was cold: "If you keep talking like this, I’ll visit Sir Luther tomorrow and remind him to pay attention to your lifelong affairs."

Yannick Luther: "...Damn it!"

"Ahem, Ashton, I was just joking with you. Don’t be so petty. You must have something urgent to call me at this time, right?"
