Chapter 255: Chapter 257: Your Wife Has a Sweet Tongue, Huh

She was still nervous.

So nervous that she tightened her grip on Ashton Heath’s hand.

Ashton Heath held her hand back, soothingly squeezed the palm of her hand, and then led her forward.

"Mom, Grandma." He took Joanna Lawrence to Madam Heath and affectionately patted her head in public, then said, "This is my wife, Joanna Lawrence. We have already gotten our marriage certificate, and I brought her home today to meet you all."

There were a few seconds of silence.

After Ashton Heath introduced Joanna Lawrence, no one spoke.

Ashton Heath didn’t seem to care. He calmly introduced his grandmother to Joanna: "Joanna, this is my grandma."

Joanna Lawrence followed his gaze and looked at Madam Heath. She fell silent, took a deep breath, squeezed a sweet smile from the corner of her lips, and sweetly greeted her: "Hello, Grandma."

Madam Heath was squinting at her.

Her gaze went from bottom to top, then from top to bottom, assessing Joanna thoroughly before her face broke into a satisfied smile.

Such a neat, clean, and engaging young lady.

Quite likable at first sight.

Madam Heath was already fond of Joanna, and upon hearing her greeting, her smile couldn’t stop.

"What a well-behaved child." She waved at Joanna Lawrence and spoke gently, "Come here, let Grandma have a closer look at you."

Joanna Lawrence turned her head and looked at Ashton Heath for guidance.

"Go ahead." Ashton Heath indulgently patted her head again and whispered, "Grandma likes you. Don’t be afraid. Just go and let her have a good look at you."

Madam Heath likes her?

Joanna Lawrence couldn’t help but feel relieved, as if an applicant in a job interview had received approval from the most significant decision-maker. She relaxed a bit and wasn’t as nervous as before.

She nodded slightly to Ashton Heath, took a deep breath, released his hand, and walked slowly toward Madam Heath.

As soon as she approached, Madam Heath grabbed her hand.

As Madam Heath held her hand, she examined Joanna from head to toe again, her smile growing more satisfied.

"Oh, this child is so beautiful."

The young lady of the Heath family admired Joanna Lawrence’s tender, porcelain-like skin, praising incessantly, "Such great skin, and so fair. There’s no one in the Heath family who is as fair-skinned as you. It’s perfect that you married Ashton; you can help improve our family’s genes."

Joanna Lawrence blushed at the compliments.

She also saw that Madam Heath seemed to like her a lot.

She had initially thought that seniors in such a prominent family would be hard to get along with, but Madam Heath turned out to be a very amiable person.

Gradually, she wasn’t as nervous.

And not as helpless as she was at first.

Seeing Madam Heath’s gentle, loving smile, she thought of her own grandmother.

She immediately felt a sense of familiarity.

She relaxed and held Madam Heath’s hand, sweetly saying, "Grandma, your skin is very fair too. And you look so young, not like a grandma at all. If Ashton hadn’t introduced you to me earlier, I would have thought you were his Aunt."

It was obvious that she was trying to flatter her.

But Madam Heath enjoyed it very much, smiling happily. She patted Joanna Lawrence’s hand gently and turned to Ashton Heath to say, "Ashton, look how sweet your wife’s words are. Where did you find such a lovable granddaughter-in-law for me?"
