Chapter 249: Chapter 251: Rebecca Returns to Her Country

The man’s sexy thin lips curved slightly, and his mouth finally revealed a satisfied smile, his voice sounding much more cheerful, "From now on, do this. If he bothers you again, tell him to get lost."

"If he clings to you shamelessly and refuses to leave, let me know, and I’ll have someone break his legs."

Joanna: "..."

Breaking legs... isn’t that a bit too violent?

But she thought he was being overly concerned.

How could David possibly be annoyingly clingy to her?

He’s now sticking to Annie; surely he wouldn’t be interested in his ex-girlfriend.

Sitting in the front seat, Jeremy heard the conversation between the two and wanted to shout out, "Ashton is mighty and domineering!"

He felt that he could be at ease from now on.

He wouldn’t have to worry about his sister being bullied anymore.

With such a supportive brother-in-law, what was there to fear?

His brother-in-law doted on his sister and had both wealth and power; he could surely take good care of her.

No one would dare bully her.

Halfway through the journey, Ashton received a phone call.

It was from Lady Octavia.

"Ashton, dear, it’s the weekend today. Aren’t you supposed to come home? You didn’t come back last week, and your grandma has been asking about you. She said she misses you." Lady Octavia’s voice sounded quite young, and indeed, she wasn’t that old in reality.

She was only in her forties this year.

She got married early, right after the legal marriage age, to Ashton’s father, Darren Heath.

Ashton lowered his head to look at the young girl lying obediently in his arms, hesitated for a moment, and gave a gentle "hmm" to the person on the other end of the phone.

Lady Octavia seemed a little dissatisfied: "What does that ’hmm’ mean? Are you coming back, or not? Let me tell you, there are guests at home today, so unless you have something really important to do, you must come back."

"Guest?" Ashton raised an eyebrow, "Which guest?"

"Rebecca’s back in the country. Don’t tell me you didn’t know." Lady Octavia’s tone softened as she talked about Rebecca, "This girl is quite filial. Right after returning, she came to visit us and even brought many gifts."

"It’s not in vain that I’ve doted on her since she was little. If only she were my biological daughter, having such a considerate daughter would add twenty years to my life. Unlike you, you naughty boy, giving me worries since you were little, and now in your twenties, still showing no sign of settling down."

Lady Octavia started complaining: "You’re almost thirty, and don’t even have a significant other. Look at Yannick, who grew up playing with you. He changes girlfriends one after another, so how come you don’t have that skill?"

Ashton listened expressionlessly as Lady Octavia scolded him.

When she finished her scolding, he replied calmly: "That’s called being fickle and passionate, not skillful."

"That’s still better than you!" Lady Octavia became really annoyed when discussing this topic, "At least he’s normal. Unlike you, who’s only ever had Rebecca by your side. What other girls have you been around? Rebecca was perfect, and I’d approve if you two got together, but you said you only see her as a sister."

"We introduced you to so many outstanding girls, but you never gave them a chance. Are you trying to drive me crazy? In my lifetime, will I ever see you get married and have kids?"

Listening to Lady Octavia’s exasperated voice, Ashton’s face remained calm.
