Chapter 281: Chapter 283: Rebecca Kelloway, how long have we known each other?

"What were you looking for her for? What did you talk to her about?" Ashton Heath didn’t show any courtesy, his tone was cold and aggressive.

Rebecca Kelloway looked at his gloomy face, feeling a bit frightened, but still maintained her composure, speaking as if nothing was wrong: "The last time we met, it was too brief and I had a lot to say, so I just wanted to chat with her."

"We just chatted casually. Then she said she was sleepy and wanted to sleep, so I left."

It seems that Ashton Heath doesn’t know about her conversation with Joanna Lawrence.

Rebecca couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, since Ashton Heath didn’t know what they talked about, why did he look so unhappy?

"Just casually chatting?"

The man’s deep gaze fixed on her, as if trying to see through her, his eyes sharp.

Obviously, he didn’t quite believe her words.

He looked at her with doubt.

Rebecca’s facial expression stiffened under his gaze, and a feeling of guilt suddenly welled up in her heart.

But she still forced herself to smile at Ashton Heath, jokingly saying: "Yes, just casually chatting. Why, it seems like you don’t believe me? You don’t think I went to bully your wife, do you?"

Ashton Heath hooked up the corner of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes. He said coldly: "Hmm, I’m worried that you went to bully her."

Rebecca: "..."

The fake smile on her lips was hard to maintain.

"Ha, haha, what kind of joke are you making? Joanna is your wife, even if not for her sake, I wouldn’t dare to bully her. Besides, why would I bully her for no reason?"

Ashton Heath’s cold gaze lingered on her face for a moment, then nodded and said: "It’s good that you know."

"Rebecca Kelloway."

Just as Rebecca felt relieved, she heard him call her name.

His tone couldn’t be considered friendly.

"How long have we known each other?" Ashton Heath asked in a deep voice.

Rebecca was momentarily stunned, her eyes showing a trace of confusion.

She hesitated for a few seconds, not knowing why he would suddenly ask this, but still replied seriously: "Almost twenty years now."

Rebecca was two years younger than Ashton Heath.

For the first few years after birth, she had been abroad.

Later, after returning to the country and following the Kelloway family on a visit to the Heath family, she met the five-year-old Ashton Heath.

At that time, she was too young to know what liking someone meant.

She just thought that the boy from the Heath family was so good-looking, like a doll, that she couldn’t help but want to get close to him.

After meeting Ashton Heath, she lost interest in other boys around her.

She only wanted to play with him.

As she grew older and understood more, she gradually realized that she had fallen in love with him.

Since then, she couldn’t see any other men in her eyes.

There was only him.

She had been dreaming of marrying him and becoming his bride when she grew up.

In addition, the elders of both Heath and Kelloway families had the intention of a marriage alliance, and often joked about their marriage.

At that time, Ashton Heath always remained silent.

She thought that he was tacitly accepting.

She was overjoyed, thinking that he liked her too, but they were both too proud to take the initiative.

Regardless, she was sure to marry him in the end.

She had determined that he was her future husband and never thought that he would marry someone else.
