Chapter 290: Chapter 292: A Thousand, Ten Thousand Dissatisfactions

She didn’t like Joanna, and therefore didn’t want to accept this daughter-in-law’s so-called "respect."

Whenever she thought of how her son, who she raised with so much effort, treated others better than her, she would feel very uncomfortable.

This daughter-in-law, she was really a thousand times, ten thousand times dissatisfied.

Ashton Heath’s actions just now made her even more unhappy with Joanna.

Her son was indeed bewitched by this woman.

Now, he was completely devoted to this woman.

She only made her wait a little longer, and he was already feeling sorry for her?

Lady Octavia stared at the steaming hot broth in front of her, holding back the urge to throw the bowl to the ground, and made an excuse: "It’s been stuffy these past few days, and I can’t drink this stuff."

Ashton Heath’s eyes flickered lightly, thoughtful as he stared at her for a few seconds.

Madam Heath thought she was really feeling stuffy and asked in concern, "What’s wrong? Did you catch a cold? Have you seen a doctor?"

Lady Octavia brought up an elegant smile and respectfully answered Madam Heath: "I did catch a bit of a cold, but it’s nothing serious. Some medicine will take care of it. Thank you for your concern, Mom."

Madam Heath then reminded her a few more times to take care of her health.

As a son, Ashton Heath should have shown some concern, but he didn’t say anything. Instead, after hearing that Lady Octavia had caught a cold, his eyes turned even colder.

The expression on his face also became much more indifferent.

This dinner could barely be considered harmonious.

It was barely so because Lady Octavia hardly spoke from the beginning to the end.

Only when Madam Heath took the initiative to ask her a few questions did she reply.

It was completely different from her usual talkativeness.

At first, Madam Heath didn’t realize anything.

But after dinner, she gradually felt the abnormality.

Afterward, she also thoughtfully stared at Lady Octavia for a while and considered some possibilities in her mind.

Ashton Heath didn’t plan to spend the night at Heath Villa. After dinner, he prepared to take Joanna and leave.

Hearing him say he was leaving, Lady Octavia looked reluctant: "Ashton, you haven’t been home for such a long time. Can’t you just stay a few more days before you go? You’re just like Gary, staying at most half a day each time you come back. He rarely comes back once a month, and now you don’t like coming back either. There aren’t many people in this family, and you don’t like to come back, leaving me and Grandma in this secluded mansion. Sometimes, we can’t even find someone to talk to."

Madam Heath also looked reluctant in her eyes but didn’t try to keep him from leaving.

Her grandson had grown up and had his own life.

How could he always stay by their side?

Madam Heath understood this and had long been mentally prepared for it.

Besides, her precious grandson was now a married man. She could understand that the young couple wanted to return to their own home and be lovey-dovey.

"Ashton, Joanna, Grandma knows you have your own things to do, so I won’t keep you. Just come back and visit more often when you’re free. Although you’re both still young and have good physical foundations, you still have to pay attention to your health. Especially you, Ashton, grandma knows you’ve just taken over the Heath Group, and you must be very busy during this period. No matter how busy you are, you have to take care of yourself, don’t push yourself too hard."

"Now you are a married man, you need to consider not just for yourself but also for your wife."

Ashton Heath nodded: "Grandma, I’ll keep that in mind."

He already knew these things even without Madam Heath’s words.

In the past, he didn’t have any concerns, and almost all his time and energy were spent on work.
