Chapter 365: Chapter 367: Might Have Recognized the Wrong Person

"Mm." Ashton Heath walked up to her, took her hand, a faint smile gracing his lips, "Let’s go."

"Wait, Wait..."

Joanna Lawrence let him lead her forward, sensing something not quite right, "But isn’t it not our turn yet? How can we get a private room?"

Outside, there’s still a queue of over a hundred people.

Even at the fastest, they would have to wait for an hour before it’s their turn.

Of course, Ashton Heath wouldn’t tell Joanna Lawrence that he had purchased a private room for seven hundred thousand dollars.

If she knew, she probably wouldn’t eat this fondue meal.

"I have no idea." He raised an eyebrow, lying without changing his expression. "I just went and asked the boss if there was any further room available. She said yes and let the staff arrange it."

Joanna Lawrence: "...."

Is it that simple?

When they headed to their private room, they had to pass the payment counter. She lifted her head and saw the Heart Fondue Restaurant’s Lady Boss accounting behind the counter.

Joanna Lawrence glanced at the still radiant Lady Boss, then lifted her head to look at the man beside her. She instantly understood.

Probably the Lady Boss gave them a private room because... he was handsome.

So having a handsome husband has its advantages?

They could even skip the queue at the Hotpot restaurant!

Little did she know that just to let her eat her long-awaited fondue as soon as possible, the man beside her spent a total of seven hundred thousand dollars on a fondue meal that normally costs just over a hundred per person.

The few men who thought Ashton Heath was crazy, who adamantly refused to give the private room, left happily after collecting the money.

Before leaving, they praised Ashton Heath lavishly, saying he was one of the best husbands one could find in a century.

As the waiter led Joanna Lawrence into the private room, those men were just leaving.

Seeing Ashton Heath holding hands with a young girl of a tall figure, delicate and fair skin, and pretty face as they walked in, a few of the men instantly understood why he was willing to spend several hundred thousand dollars on a hotpot meal.

With a wife as beautiful as a fairy, who wouldn’t want to pamper and spoil her?

They just weren’t in that position.

If they were that rich and married such a beautiful wife, perhaps they would do the same.

With money to spare, spending a bit to make a beautiful woman smile, what’s the big deal?

As they passed by, a few men cheerfully said to Joanna Lawrence, "Miss, your husband is deeply in love with you. This kind of man, who is a rare gem of a husband, you must cherish. We wish you happiness."

Having finished, they laughingly walked past her and left the private room.

Joanna Lawrence’s face in a literal question mark replied, "???"

She asked Ashton Heath, "Do you know them?"

Ashton Heath, with no change in expression, "No."

He wasn’t lying. He had indeed no knowledge of those people.

Joanna Lawrence: "...then those people?"

"They might have mistaken us for someone else, let’s just ignore them."

"Oh."

Eating fondue in the height of summer, Joanna Lawrence was sweating profusely, but found it especially enjoyable.

She started piling food she found delicious into Ashton Heath’s bowl, "Try this, it’s really good."

"And this baby squid, it tastes great too."

"This spicy beef is extremely flavorful, give it a try."

Ashton Heath silently watched her piling food into his bowl, hesitated for a bit, and then slowly stuffed it into his mouth.

He chewed without any reaction on his face for a few moments before swallowing it down.
