Chapter 279: Chapter 281: Mr. Ashton is looking for Ms. Kelloway

Joanna Lawrence hesitated upon reading this reply, slowly typing out a line: I told him that it’s okay for other women to like him and for him to like other women. I won’t mind. And then, he got really angry.

Aria Rowlett: ...

Fluffy Cutie: What’s wrong? What do you mean?

Aria Rowlett: Baby, if it were me, I’d also be angry. Doesn’t this just mean that you don’t care about him at all? Think about it, when you like someone and they say something like that to you, wouldn’t you be angry? Unless, they don’t care about you at all, they won’t get angry.

Aria Rowlett: On the contrary, the more he gets angry, the more it shows that he likes you. So, let me ask, did your heartthrob get really angry?

The angrier he is, the more it shows that he likes you...

Seeing this reply, Joanna Lawrence’s heart "pounded" heavily in her chest.

She paused for a few seconds before sending a reply: ... I think he was very angry.

Aria Rowlett: Of course, your heartthrob would be angry, he clearly likes you a lot, treasures you like a baby. Hearing you talk like that, how could he not feel upset and angry? But don’t worry too much, precisely because he likes you, he won’t stay mad at you for long. Just act cute around him, apologize, pamper him, and he’ll definitely stop being angry.

Joanna Lawrence stared at the screen of her phone, drifting into a daze.

Was it really so obvious that Ashton Heath liked her?

Even Aria Rowlett said so.

She read Aria Rowlett’s reply again and let her gaze fall into deep thought.

As soon as Ashton Heath came out of the bedroom, he went straight to find Tedd.

He asked with a gloomy face: "Where is Ms. Kelloway?"

Seeing his grim face, Tedd replied cautiously: "Ms. Kelloway has just gone for a walk in the garden with Lady Octavia. Do you need her for something, Mr. Ashton? Should I go and call her over for you?"

Ashton Heath’s eyes darkened, and a chill spread around him, his deep gaze narrowed slightly: "Mhm."

When Tedd found Rebecca Kelloway, she was sitting in the garden under a sun umbrella, enjoying afternoon tea with Lady Octavia.

The two seemed to be chatting very happily.

Tedd approached them and respectfully called out: "Lady Octavia."

Lady Octavia raised her head to glance at him, after taking a sip of her freshly brewed Honey Citrus Infusion: "What is it? Is there something?"

Tedd’s gaze fell on Rebecca Kelloway, he hesitated, then said with a smile: "Mr. Ashton needs Ms. Kelloway for something, he is waiting for her in the study."

Rebecca Kelloway paused with the cup in her hand, the smile on her lips froze for a few seconds.

"Ashton is looking for me?" her eyes flashed, a strange look quickly passing through her eyes, "Did he mention what it was about?"

Tedd feigned ignorance, shaking his head: "Mr. Ashton didn’t say."

Rebecca Kelloway, however, had a hunch.

It wasn’t too long since she had spoken with Joanna Lawrence, and now Ashton Heath was looking for her. Perhaps, Joanna Lawrence complained to him.

Rebecca Kelloway was very annoyed.

She hadn’t thought that Joanna Lawrence would actually go to Ashton Heath to complain.

Such an act was rather despicable.

Was Ashton Heath now calling her over to vent Joanna Lawrence’s anger?

No, that’s not possible.

It was a small thing, the decades-long relationship between the Heath family and the Kelloway family, her and Ashton Heath’s twenty plus years of friendship, he can’t possibly give up both the Kelloway family’s friendship and their personal relationship all for Joanna Lawrence.

That woman was not that important to him yet.
