Chapter 532: Chapter 531: I Don’t Want to Get Pregnant So Early

This man, the colder he tries to appear in public, the colder he becomes.

Whenever he’s dealing with people, he always has this unapproachable air about him, as if he’s a flower on the top of the peak with big, bold "no trespassing" signs covering his entire body, making it difficult and intimidating to approach him.

But in front of her...

It’s as if he becomes a totally different person.

"Alright, stop worrying about me." Joanna Lawrence knew he was busy with work, so she said understandingly, "Go ahead and work, you don’t have to keep massaging me."

"Knock knock knock."

At that moment, there was a knock on the door, along with Cody Aberton’s voice: "President Ashton."

"Come in."

Ashton Heath combed his fingers through Joanna’s black and soft hair with one hand and held her small hand with the other.

When Cody entered the office, he was greeted with the sight of such a heart-wrenching scene.

Ashton, who was always very serious about work and fully committed to it, was not focusing on his work as Cody had thought but rather sitting on the sofa with an intimate posture, holding Ms. Joanna.

The moment Cody stepped into the office, he even saw Ashton lean down to give her a kiss.

Seemingly shy, Joanna blushed and pushed him away slightly.

Cody: "..."

Why was it that he always seemed to get the short end of the stick?

Couldn’t they show some love and consideration for him, the single man, and think about how he might feel at this moment?

"What is it?" Ashton looked at Cody with displeasure.

It was as if he was saying: he would be dead if it’s not something really important.

Feeling the weight of his gaze, Cody shuddered and quickly said: "President Ashton, Mr. Southey from Aussie Group is here and waiting for you in the Reception Room."

"Mr. Southey?" Ashton raised an eyebrow and nodded, "Alright, I understand. Have someone entertain him for a while, I’ll be there in a moment."

"Yes, sir."

Having said that, Cody immediately turned and strode out of the office.

After all, his life was at stake.

Ashton lowered his head to look at the young girl in his arms and said softly, "Baby, I need to go for a bit. When I return, we’ll go out to eat, okay?"

"Alright, go ahead." Joanna nodded obediently with agreement.

The lunch was arranged in a place with a pleasant environment and a very romantic atmosphere, perfect for a date.

After the meal, since Joanna needed to go to school to ask for leave, Ashton had Zack drive her there first.

As they neared the school, Joanna spotted a pharmacy across the street and suddenly remembered something.

She asked Zack to pull over.

Ashton’s brow furrowed slightly, and he looked outside the window with confusion, "Why are we stopping here? We haven’t reached your school yet."

"I need to go to the pharmacy to buy something."

Joanna felt like she had forgotten something while eating, and it hit her only when she saw the pharmacy.

She wasn’t sure if Ashton had forgotten or hadn’t prepared, but he hadn’t used a condom every time they had sex today.

Her period had just ended, and it wasn’t her safe period yet.

Under such circumstances, it’s easy to get pregnant.

She had no intention of becoming a mother at the moment. Getting married so young had already disrupted some of her life plans. She would break down if she got pregnant early too.

At her age, she still felt she was only half-grown up.

She was not even fully grown yet, so it’s impossible for her to want a baby.

Upon hearing that she needed to go to the pharmacy, Ashton’s expression immediately tensed: "Do you feel unwell somewhere? Is it because of what I did today?"

He was worried that he had hurt her.

"Uh, it’s not that..." Joanna blushed and shook her head, not hiding it from him and said directly, "I’m going to the pharmacy to buy emergency contraceptives. Ashton, you didn’t use any birth control today, and I don’t want to get pregnant so soon."

Ashton’s expression froze for a moment.

But soon, it returned to normal.

"Baby, I’m sorry." He looked at her with guilt in his eyes, and held her in his arms, gently kissing her forehead. "It was my fault. I didn’t prepare well. I won’t make the same mistake again."

There was an undeniable discomfort in his heart when he heard that Joanna wanted to buy emergency contraceptives.

But upon seeing her childlike, delicate face still seemingly underage, he quickly understood her and felt guilty for his hidden thoughts.

Because he deliberately did not prepare condoms.

As someone who always considered every aspect in everything he did, he would never make such a rookie mistake.

Unless he did it intentionally.

He knew that Joanna was still young and not very mature psychologically, not suitable for having a baby or becoming a mother at this stage.

However, selfishly thinking, he wondered if she would stay by his side if she had a child already.

He wouldn’t have to worry about her leaving then.

Being so young and still not settled, she’s at an age that loves to play around and has beautiful fantasies and expectations of love.

Although they are married now, she hasn’t fallen in love with him.

Her feelings for him have not reached the point where he’s the only one.

Moreover, he’s a full six years older than her.

If a three-year gap is considered a generational difference, then there are two generational gaps between her and him.

Girls her age might prefer boys their age, right?

With a similar age range, they would have more in common and no generation gap to speak of.

Ashton sometimes wondered if Joanna would despise him for his age.

Would she think there’s a generation gap between them?

He was worried that she would ridicule him for being older.

It wouldn’t matter if he was just one or two years older than her, but he’s a whole six years older.

For men his age, he’s still very young. With his conditions, even when he’s thirty or forty, he’ll still attract young women to his side.

But...

Even someone as confident as him feels insecure in front of the woman he loves.

However, when he considered Joanna’s perspective, it wasn’t fair to her to let her get pregnant so early.
