Chapter 284: Chapter 286: Neglecting You, My Heart Will Only Feel Worse Than Yours

"I’m sorry, Baby, I’m really sorry. Please forgive me, sometimes a man blinded by jealousy can lose his rationality and do things that even he doesn’t understand."

"I’m just too jealous of David. I know that you can’t possibly get back with him, you’re my wife now, and I shouldn’t be jealous of a man who’s no longer a threat to me."

He was baring his heart to her.

"But when I think that he knew you ten years before I did, and that he was by your side for all those years, witnessing your growth and experiencing so many things with you, I can’t help but mind."

He couldn’t be that magnanimous.

Unless, he had no feelings for her.

Joanna buried her head in his chest, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat, and his words suddenly set her heart at ease.

He didn’t directly tell her that he was jealous because he cared about her so much.

But his words were enough.

Just like Aria had said, if he didn’t like her, didn’t care about her, he wouldn’t care about the words she had said.

But if he did like her...

Her words had indeed been too harsh.

"I’m sorry." She raised her head slowly, her eyes filled with remorse, her voice choking, "Ashton, I’m sorry, I was wrong, too. I shouldn’t have said those things. I won’t ever say those words again, just don’t be mad at me anymore, okay?"

"I haven’t been mad for a long time."

Ashton lowered his head, cupped her small face in his hands, and gently stroked her swollen eyes, "How could I bear to be really mad at you? In fact, when you sent me that text message, I had already come to find you."

"Baby, every time I thought that you were still crying, still upset, my heart ached so badly."

How could he not come looking for her?

When he was mad, he thought about giving her the cold shoulder for a few days.

But he couldn’t even last an hour, let alone a few days.

As he looked at the files, all he could think of was her.

He had never imagined that there would come a day when he would become like this for a woman.

Joanna blinked her eyes and stared at him in a daze, "You were going to come find me before I even sent you the text message?"

"Yes." Ashton nodded, his eyes deep and dark, "So, Baby, do you think we have a sort of telepathy?"

She stared blankly for a few more seconds, murmuring, "Why?"

Wasn’t he still mad at her?

Why did he want to come find her?

Ashton understood what she was asking, and his slender fingers gently caressed her still-swollen eyes with a tender touch, "Baby, I can’t bear to."

His voice was deep and hoarse, full of endless love and compassion, "Neglecting you would only make me feel even worse. You could say that instead of punishing you, I’m punishing myself."

"Can we make up, please?" He didn’t want to torture himself like this anymore, "Let’s just pretend that those things never happened, and let’s not argue anymore in the future. I won’t bring up David again, no matter if you still have feelings for him or not, I won’t get mad at you over it again."

"You can continue to like him, it’s okay if you can’t forget him. We still have a long life ahead of us, I’ll work hard to show you that I deserve a place in your heart."

"I have no feelings for him anymore."

Hearing him bring up the matter again, Joanna didn’t get mad, but calmly said, "From the moment he cheated on me with Annie, betraying my trust, he became dead to me."
