Chapter 280 - 282: Did you go to see Joanna just now?

Chapter 280: Chapter 282: Did you go to see Joanna just now?

Thinking about this, she steadied herself. She was no longer as flustered as she was at the beginning.

She slowly sipped her coffee, put the cup on the table, then raised her eyes to look at Tedd, smiling brightly and saying, "Alright, I will go now."

After saying that, she looked apologetically towards Lady Octavia with a regretful face, "Lady Octavia, I apologize. I cannot accompany you for afternoon coffee."

Upon hearing that Ashton was looking for her, Lady Octavia immediately chuckled and said, "Go ahead, you and Ashton have been good to each other since childhood. It’s been over a year since you’ve seen each other, he must have a lot to talk to you. You young people should talk more, don’t worry about me."

Deep down, Lady Octavia does not recognize Joanna as her daughter-in-law.

She still had a special preference for Rebecca Kelloway.

In her view, her son is so outstanding that even if he divorced, the status of a second marriage wouldn’t affect anything.

Moreover, Rebecca was still so infatuated with her son.

Therefore, even if Ashton already married, she still holds onto the idea of matchmaking him with Rebecca.

She really anticipates the two of them spending time alone together.

"Lady Octavia, then, I will take my leave."

Rebecca displayed a formal smile, slowly rose, turned around and left together with Tedd.

On the way.

Rebecca attempted to casually gather some information from Tedd: "Tedd, when Ashton just looked for you, how did he seem to you?"

Tedd has been at Heath Villa for many years.

Being able to reach the current status of the head housekeeper, naturally, he comes with experience.

Upon hearing Rebecca’s question, he immediately understood what she wanted to find out.

It looked that she must have guessed what Mr. Ashton actually wanted to talk to her about.

Tedd pondered it for a moment, then tipped her off: "Ashton looked rather upset, like he was angry about something."

The color on Rebecca’s face changed ever so slightly: "...Really? Did he look really angry?"

"I think so." Tedd feigned surprise and added, "I really don’t know what happened to Mr. Ashton. Previously, he was just fine then suddenly his demeanor completely changed."

Rebecca’s hand, which was hanging by her side, tightened its grip. Her heart started to race again.

Upon hearing Tedd’s words, she became unsure about the situation all over again.

Considering Ashton’s temperament and character, she became increasingly nervous.

Upon reaching the study, Tedd knocked on the door and respectfully informed the person inside: "Mr. Ashton, Ms. Kelloway is here."

"Let her in."

The voice that emerged from the study was very cold, devoid of warmth.

Upon hearing this icy voice, all the confidence that Rebecca had built up turned into nervous anxiety.

Tedd opened the door, bowed, and made a "please" gesture: "Ms. Kelloway, please go in."

Rebecca stood at the door for a few seconds, bit her lip, took a deep breath, and stepped in slowly.

Tedd pulled the door slightly ajar, leaving a small gap.

Upon entering the study, Rebecca was met with a cold atmosphere. Looking up, she saw Ashton’s handsome face as cold as ice. She could not help but clench her hands.

"Ashton, you were looking for me."

She managed to squeeze out a hint of a smile from the corner of her lips, pretending to be at ease: "Is there something you wanted?"

Ashton’s gaze was ice-cold as he asked: "Did you go to see Joanna earlier?"

Rebecca’s expression froze momentarily.

She did not expect Ashton to be so direct.

Coming from the prestigious Kelloway family and being exposed to a wide range of experiences from an early age, she naturally had more courage and insight than the average girl. After a few seconds of panic, she quickly regained her composure.

She managed to squeeze out another hint of a smile and asked casually: "Yes, I did visit her earlier. Did Joanna tell you?"
