Chapter 264: Chapter 266: She Won’t Quit

Her grandson was married and had a wife now.

If Rebecca Kelloway still liked Ashton Heath as much as before, Madam Heath would feel it was inappropriate.

So when Madam Heath pulled her aside to say these words, she was indirectly telling her that Ashton was married now, and she should keep some distance.

Rebecca was intelligent, and she could clearly understand this.

Her face changed several times while Madam Heath was speaking.

Though Madam Heath’s original intention was for her own good, the words sounded harsh to Rebecca.

She didn’t take in a single word.

She didn’t feel that Madam Heath was doing this for her, on the contrary, she felt that Madam Heath was being partial.

They all knew that she and Ashton Heath had grown up together, and they all thought she would marry him in the future.

Everyone thought they were the most compatible couple.

So why should she step aside?

Just because Ashton was married?

But Lady Octavia herself had said that people could divorce after marriage.

Nothing lasts forever and remains unchanged.

Moreover, Rebecca didn’t think that Ashton’s marriage to Joanna Lawrence would last long.

How much could two people with mismatched social status have in common?

Even if their affection was genuine now, it was only out of novelty.

How long would it last once that novelty wore off?

So she would not give up.

She could wait.

She believed that within a year, Ashton would divorce Joanna.

Just one year was all, she could wait for that.

"Madam Heath, I understand." Rebecca had a different mindset in her heart, but on the surface, she was obedient and sensible. She responded obediently, "I understand what you mean. Don’t worry, since Ashton is married now, I will be mindful of my actions and not cause any trouble for him and Joanna."

"Good child." Madam Heath said with a satisfied expression, "I knew you were sensible."

After sending Madam Heath back to her room, Rebecca returned downstairs.

As she walked down the stairs, she saw a maid carrying a bowl of dark liquid.

She glanced at it casually and asked curiously, "What is this? Where is it going?"

Rebecca visited the Heath family often.

Before Ashton’s marriage, the Heath family’s servants basically treated her as the future young lady of the Heath family.

Even now that Ashton was married, the servants were still polite to her.

Although she was not the young lady of the Heath family, she was still Ms. Kelloway.

So when she asked, the maid immediately replied respectfully, "Ms. Kelloway, this is sweat tea."

"Sweat Tea?" Rebecca was stunned, "What is it for?"

"Mr. Ashton asked us to prepare it before he brought Ms. Joanna home. It should be for Ms. Joanna to drink." The maid hadn’t seen Rebecca’s face darken instantly, and she continued with a smile, "Drinking it during a girl’s monthly period can help alleviate pain."

"That’s right." Another maid also smiled and said, "We never expected our Mr. Ashton to be so thoughtful and caring. He’s really good to Ms. Joanna. Not only did he ask us to prepare the sweat tea in advance, but he also instructed the kitchen to prepare some light dishes. It must be because Ms. Joanna is on her period and cannot eat too much spicy food."

"We used to think that Mr. Ashton would never be gentle to women. But just now I saw him carrying Ms. Joanna upstairs and whispering in her ear. Oh, the way he looked at Ms. Joanna, it was so tender."
