Chapter 2020: Chapter 2014: Why aren’t you asking me what I came to find you for?

Soon, Tedd helped Madam Heath upstairs.

All that was left were Lady Octavia and a few maids in the living room.

Lady Octavia remained seated in her previous spot, looking very displeased.

She didn’t think she was in the wrong.

On the contrary, she felt wronged.

She did everything for the sake of her two sons, yet both of them, for the sake of women, had many complaints and dissatisfactions toward her.

Lady Octavia felt especially sad.

No one could understand her.

Upstairs,

Ashton, afraid that Joanna might be upset, immediately tried to comfort his wife after closing the door.

"Joanna, don’t take Mom’s words to heart," Ashton sighed and said gently, "She doesn’t understand you, so she was suspicious of you after reading those rumors. But both Grandma and I trust you."

"Actually, I didn’t really mind this issue," Joanna laughed and hugged him, "As long as my husband trusts me, that’s enough."

"Of course I trust you. How can I not understand the kind of person my own wife is?"

Ashton gently kissed Joanna’s forehead, "If there’s no trust between husband and wife, what’s the point?"

"Do you want to rest for a bit? I’ll wake you up for dinner."

Joanna had slept at the White family’s house before coming here and wasn’t sleepy now.

She shook her head and said, "I’m not sleepy, I’ll look at the script for a while. Linda sent me the movie script, I haven’t had the time to look at it."

"Knock knock knock."

There was a knock at the door.

Ashton looked up and heard the maid outside saying, "Mr. Ashton, Madam Heath wants you to go to her room."

Ashton was taken aback.

After a few seconds, he turned to Joanna and said, "You go ahead and read the script, I’ll go see Grandma."

"Okay."

"Grandma, you wanted to see me?"

Ashton walked into Madam Heath’s room, where she was standing by the window watering her plants.

The several orchids on the windowsill were grown by Madam Heath herself, and they were in full bloom, their fragrance filled the room.

Ashton entered the bedroom, and Madam Heath continued to water her plants leisurely, not saying anything about why she had called for him.

Ashton wasn’t in a hurry either, so he just stood there and watched Madam Heath water her plants.

He even complimented, "Grandma, you have grown these orchids really well."

"It’s because I have nothing to do but tend to the flowers and plants. The more time I have, the more carefully I can tend to them, so why wouldn’t they grow well?"

"That’s not necessarily true."

Ashton didn’t flatter others,

But sometimes, he would flatter his wife and grandmother.

He said with a smile, "Some people tend to their plants just as carefully, but the plants don’t grow nearly as well. It’s not easy to grow orchids this well."

After watering the flowers, Madam Heath slowly turned around and looked at her grandson with a smile, "Why don’t you ask why I wanted to see you?"

"Because I know when Grandma wants to say something, she’ll say it naturally."

"You little rascal..."

Madam Heath extended a hand, and Ashton helped her walk slowly to the sofa to sit down.

"Since you’re so smart, you must have guessed why I wanted to see you. I won’t beat around the bush with you. Ashton, what’s the deal between you and that boy from the Parker family? How did this happen?"

"I think there must be a reason. Although you said it was for business considerations, there hasn’t been any reason for the Heath and Parker Groups to cancel all cooperation since they started working together.
