Chapter 605 - 604: After this, you’re not allowed to be so fierce towards me anymore.

Chapter 605: Chapter 604: After this, you’re not allowed to be so fierce towards me anymore.

Even though he had never taken this person seriously, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy thinking about Joanna Lawrence and David Benington’s past relationship, as if his heart had been pierced by something.

Regardless of how much he looked down on David Benington, the man was still Joanna’s ex-fiance.

So when he saw the news online, he couldn’t control the jealousy that arose.

He also couldn’t help the panic and fear that followed.

He was very afraid that if she softened her heart, she would agree to reconcile with David.

Even though he knew that the possibility was extremely slim.

But he was still worried.

His confidence would vanish without a trace once he was in front of her.

"Baby, I didn’t doubt you. I just... don’t like seeing you with him." Undeniably, after hearing Joanna’s explanation, Ashton Heath felt much better.

That oppressive low pressure emanating from him silently disappeared.

There was warmth once again in his deep, dark eyes.

Looking at her, his gaze was no longer cold, but filled with the familiar tenderness and indulgence that she knew.

Joanna couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that her familiar Ashton was finally back.

He had scared her to death just now.

She bit the corner of her lip, hooked her arm around his neck, and with a hint of grievance and dissatisfaction in her soft voice, her eyes filled with accusation as she looked at him, "Ashton, you were so fierce just now, I was afraid."

"From now on, you’re not allowed to be so fierce with me."

"If you’re ever that fierce again, I’ll ignore you."

"I’m sorry, baby."

He couldn’t control his temper when the jealousy had gotten to him.

Now that his anger had subsided and he was back to normal, he realized he had done the wrong thing and frightened her.

"Will you forgive me?" Ashton hugged her tightly, his deep eyes fixated on her, sighing gently, "I really want to be completely unbothered, but I can’t."

"Seeing him with you makes me very uncomfortable."

"Baby, he was the only man besides me who has ever possessed you. I’ve told myself that it’s all in the past, and I shouldn’t care too much, but I really..."

"Alright, I understand." Not waiting for him to finish, Joanna placed her hand over his mouth, "I’m not angry either. I just don’t like how you were just now. It made me feel... a bit estranged."

"I was scared."

"So, in the future, no matter what happens, you must not frown at me like that again, alright?"

"Alright."

Ashton cupped her face, gently kissing her forehead, "I promise you. I will never be like that again."

After talking things through, the brief unpleasantness quickly passed.

Ashton held Joanna, finished the last two documents, rubbed his brow, and then closed his laptop.

He called Cody Aberton into his office.

As Cody pushed open the door and saw President Ashton holding a woman while sitting in front of his desk, he hesitated for a moment before walking over with a heartache expression on his face.

President Ashton was no longer the serious and focused man he used to be.

He had changed.

He had become hopelessly infatuated with a woman.

Even during work hours, he was so close and intimate.

Love was truly a terrifying thing.

It could actually change a person like this.

If he hadn’t witnessed it himself, he would never have believed that his once cold, celibate boss, who had viewed women as poison, could have become like this now...
