Chapter 240: Chapter 242: The Meanings are Very Different

Her heart was still pounding fiercely, every violent tremor shaking her entire chest.

The intense frequency and force were as if her chest was about to shatter.

She quickly reached out to cover her chest, her face growing even hotter as she thought of the light kiss that had just graced her lips.

It was the first time she had taken the initiative to kiss a man.

She had never done anything so bold before.

In her previous relationship with David Benington, it had always been David who took the initiative.

She didn’t know what had gotten into her just now, but she suddenly wanted to do it.

Now recalling it, she felt incredibly shy.

Her courageous moment and impulsive action had only lasted an instant.

If she were to go back to that moment in time, she doubted she would have the courage to take the initiative in kissing Ashton Heath again.

Outside the car, Joanna Lawrence’s face flushed with excitement, her heart pounding like a little deer on the loose.

Inside the car, the person who had just been kissed remained dazed.

Ashton Heath still maintained the position and expression he had when Joanna kissed him, completely motionless.

It was nothing more than a light touch that couldn’t even be considered ticklish, and to be precise, that so-called "kiss" could hardly be defined as a proper kiss.

It was just their lips touching for a brief moment, and then it was over.

But such a so-called "kiss" managed to stun Ashton for quite a while.

He was like a naive young boy who had never seen the world, unable to snap out of it for a long time.

In his mind, the scene of Joanna kissing him played over and over again.

She was naturally a shy and timid woman.

To have made such a move must have taken great courage on her part.

This was the first time Joanna had initiated a kiss with him.

For Ashton, this kiss held a very different meaning.

It wasn’t until a full minute had passed that he finally turned his head, curved his lips, and cast a deep, mysterious glance outside the window.

His long, jade-like fingers touched his lips, caressing the spot that had just been kissed, his eyes brimming with a joyful, shallow smile.

Jeremy Lawrence, sitting in the front-seat passenger’s seat, saw the whole scene in the rearview mirror and was so surprised his mouth dropped open. He couldn’t help but doubt if that person was really his sister.

When had Joanna become so passionate and forward?

Initiating a kiss like that was something she hadn’t even done to David, right?

Despite this, the thought left Jeremy feeling relieved.

It seemed that his sister had finally come to her senses.

She was learning to be proactive towards the man she liked.

Yes, this was a good thing.

Women taking the initiative occasionally is something men enjoy.

Just look at the radiant smile on Ashton’s face; it was obvious he was pleased.

"Ashton."

Jeremy also turned his head to look outside the window. Seeing Joanna enter the Benington Mansion, he asked with concern, "Shouldn’t we go in with Joanna?"

"No, let’s just wait in the car."

Ashton’s deep, cold voice carried a hint of amusement due to the kiss, "Once your sister takes care of this matter, I’ll take you to check out some cars. If you see one you like, just let me know, and I’ll give it to you."

"But don’t tell your sister about this; she doesn’t really approve of me giving you a car."

At first, Jeremy thought Ashton’s offer to give him a car was merely a social nicety and not a genuine gift.

But now that he realized Ashton really meant to give him a car, he couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed with excitement, "Ashton, you... you really want to give me a car?"
