Chapter 2121: Chapter 2116: You Can’t Envy This

Annie’s already stiff face became even more rigid.

She clenched the coffee cup in her hand and bit her lip.

For a moment, she felt so wronged that she was close to tears.

Ashton Heath didn’t give her any face at all.

Annie had never met a man like this before.

Because any man would usually have some sympathy for a woman.

Except for Ashton Heath, nobody else had ever been consistently indifferent to her.

"Annie, didn’t you say you wanted to show off your cooking skills tonight? Let’s go to the kitchen and see, it’s getting late, we should start preparing dinner." Seeing the situation, Rose Liall hurriedly stepped in to mediate, pulling the stiff-limbed Annie towards the kitchen.

*

Once they were in the kitchen,

Rose closed the door and frowned, whispering, "Annie, what’s the matter with you? I’ve told you not to be impatient. Can’t you control yourself?"

"Mom, what have I done? I just poured him a cup of coffee." Annie felt wronged and complained, "You said he likes women who look well-behaved and clean. But just now, he said I was trying too hard."

"He’s making fun of me!"

"What can he say with that bitch Joanna around? I told you not to rush things. With Joanna here, even if he has any intentions towards you, he wouldn’t show it."

"Besides, you’re making Joanna suspect you."

"Haste makes waste, Ashton Heath isn’t a man you can easily win over. He’s different from David Benington. Think about his status, what kind of women hasn’t he met before? Rushing to please him like this will only make him dislike you."

"Men are all the same, the easier they get something, the less they care about it. Don’t let him think you’re an easy woman."

"So, what am I supposed to do?" Annie asked angrily, "When do I ever have the chance to see him usually?"

"That’s why if you want to win this man, you have to cultivate a good relationship with Joanna first." Rose said in an experienced tone, "Only by getting closer with Joanna will you have more chances to see Ashton Heath in the future."

Annie’s face turned sour: "Are you telling me to please that bitch Joanna?"

"Mom knows it’s unfair to you, but you said you wanted to be with Ashton Heath, right? There’s no gain without sacrifice. Think about what’s more important to you." Rose advised earnestly.

Annie clenched her lips and fell silent.

She understood the reasoning.

But should she bow down and apologize to that bitch Joanna?

Of course, Annie was reluctant to do it.

She hated Joanna to the core.

To bow down to Joanna was like killing her.

But then again...

When she thought of Ashton Heath, she wavered.

There was no way she could give up on Ashton Heath.

Between her self-esteem and the man she wanted, which was more important?

When Annie thought about Ashton Heath’s incredibly handsome face, self-esteem suddenly didn’t seem so important anymore.

If bowing down to Joanna would help her win Ashton Heath, what did self-esteem matter?

*

When Annie came out of the kitchen and saw Joanna and Ashton Heath sitting together in the living room, jealousy clenched her fist.

One day,

The one sitting beside Ashton Heath would be her.

As she thought this, she suddenly heard a cold voice in her ear: "Annie, stop looking. You can’t even be jealous of this."
