Chapter 747: Chapter 746: So Jealous that It’s Overwhelming

As long as she stops crying, he can do anything.

Her tears are like shards of glass, stabbing his heart, making him unbearably upset.

Joanna Lawrence raises her red, swollen eyes and finally looks at him directly, but her gaze is still cold and distant: "Ashton Heath, do you think I am angry with you about this?"

Ashton Heath is taken aback: "Is it not because of this? Then what is it?"

Joanna Lawrence takes a deep breath and wipes away her tears. After thinking for a while, she says, "It’s related to this, but it’s not entirely because of this. Ashton Heath, do you know how tiring it is to be with someone who lives too selfishly, not caring about others’ feelings?"

Ashton Heath purses his lips.

"So, you think being with me makes you tired?" He asks with a hoarse voice after a moment of silence.

Joanna shakes her head: "Not really. During the time I’ve been with you, I’ve been very happy."

The man’s deep eyes flash with surprise as he stares at her for a few seconds: "But you just said you would be tired."

"Yes, I did say that," Joanna nods, "I meant that after being together for a long time, it would be tiring. Your need for control and possessiveness are too strong. It’s impossible for me not to have any interactions with the opposite sex."

"Moreover, my current social circle and profession mean I am bound to have contact with many men in the future. Ashton Heath, I cannot abandon all my male friends once I am married to you."

"It’s not realistic."

"If it were you, could you do it?"

"Of course, I can..." Ashton Heath opens his mouth, but stops halfway through his sentence.

Actually, he really wants to say he can.

With just one word from her, he can do anything for her.

With her, he doesn’t need any other female friends.

His world is enough with her in it.

But he knows she doesn’t want to hear that answer.

It would only make her think he’s even more abnormal.

And how would a woman feel about a man who’s not normal?

She would want to escape.

"You can’t do it either, can you?" Joanna Lawrence misunderstands his meaning, "If you can’t do it, why do you expect me to?"

Ashton Heath stares at her intently and can’t help blurting out, "What if... I could do it?"

Joanna is startled, then shakes her head, "Then I still can’t. As long as I’m a normal person, I’ll have a normal social circle. I can only promise I won’t think of them beyond friendship, but I can’t completely cut off all contact between friends of the opposite sex."

Regardless of profession, there are always members of the opposite sex.

Completely avoiding interaction is impossible.

Ashton Heath notices her mood slowly calming down, so he hesitantly reaches out again. When he feels her not flinching away, his slender, slightly cold fingers gently and cautiously wipe away the tear stains at the corners of her eyes.

"I didn’t mean for you to stop interacting with the opposite sex." He says as he wipes away her tears and approaches her, "I never intended to demand that of you. Joanna Lawrence, do you really think I am such a paranoid and unreasonable person in your heart?"

Joanna looks at him, not speaking.

He has never made such a request.

Instead, his jealousy flares up.

Jealous of the lead actor of the crew, and of the director of the crew...
