My Secret Billionaire Husband
Chapter 287 - 289: Isn’t This Jealousy a Bit Inexplicable?

Chapter 287: Chapter 289: Isn’t This Jealousy a Bit Inexplicable?

Being so busy, he must not have much time to stay at home.

"It’s also because of your older brother." Ashton Heath corrected.

"Ah, so does he not spend much time at home?"

Ashton looked down at her: "You seem to be quite interested in my older brother?"

His tone was faint but seemed normal.

However, Joanna Lawrence, who already had some understanding of his personality, could hear a hint of jealousy.

She: "..."

Really? He’s even jealous of his own older brother?

And she was only asking casually.

She hadn’t even met Brandon Heath before.

This jealousy was a bit baffling.

"...No, I was just asking casually. You don’t have to answer."

Ashton stared at her little white face for a few seconds, hooked his lips, and then said, "My brother is very busy. It’s already pretty good if he can come home for a day or two a month. If you want to meet him, I will let him know and have him make time to come back."

Joanna Lawrence dared not say anything more in front of this jealous jar called Ashton Heath.

Previously, she just asked casually and he was already jealous.

Now, if she said she wanted to see Brandon Heath, his jar of jealousy would surely spill over.

"Uh, let’s not. Since Older Brother is so busy, let’s not disturb his work. I’m not that eager to meet him."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that there might be something inappropriate about her words, and immediately added another sentence: "What I mean is that if he has time, we can meet, but it’s not a big deal if he doesn’t. There’s no need to call him back especially."

He is the Deputy Minister of the Military Department.

Calling him back especially for a meeting with an ordinary person like her would be a waste of his time.

Even if Ashton was really willing to do it, she dared not enjoy such special treatment.

Besides, she believed she might be afraid of Brandon.

He looked so serious on TV, and his aura in person would be even more intimidating.

"Octavia, look at this young couple. Their affection in this early stage of their marriage is wonderful. They keep whispering and I have no idea what they are talking about." Madam Heath saw Joanna and Ashton constantly whispering and chatting, and her face showed great happiness and contentment.

To her, seeing her favorite younger generation solve their life’s major problems so smoothly, and being so affectionate with their new spouse, was the best thing ever.

Of course, if this couple could give birth to a great-grandchild earlier for her, that would make everything even more perfect.

Her wish would be fulfilled completely.

Lady Octavia smiled insincerely and responded, "Yes, yes."

Although she was somewhat discontent in her heart, she dared not show it too clearly in front of the old lady.

Now, the old lady was utterly satisfied and pleased with Joanna.

If she were to express her discontent or oppose anything at this time, wouldn’t that make her seem like she was in conflict with the old lady?

Even though she herself had gone from being a daughter-in-law to a mother-in-law, it was still Madam Heath who called the shots in the Heath family.

As a mother-in-law, her say wasn’t much.

"Grandma, I just told Joanna that you like her a lot." Ashton, with his arm around Joanna, walked over and a maid immediately came forward to pull out a dining chair.

"Really?" Madam Heath chuckled.

"Yes, Joanna was very happy to hear that."

Upon reaching the dining table, Ashton glanced at the seat next to Madam Heath and whispered to Joanna, "You can sit with Grandma. This treatment used to be reserved only for me, but now, there’s also you, the new granddaughter-in-law."
