Chapter 751 - 750: How did Ashton’s phone end up in your hands?

Chapter 751: Chapter 750: How did Ashton’s phone end up in your hands?

"How much?" He pressed against her forehead, his breath falling on her cheek, rubbing affectionately, his deep voice filled with unabashed joy. "Hmm? Tell me, how much do you like me?"

Even if her affection for him were only half, it would be enough.

The remaining half, he could exchange with her for the rest of his life.

Joanna couldn’t help but laugh, "I like you a lot, is that enough?"

"Mhm, good." Ashton Heath’s lips curved up slightly, his eyebrows raising. "But I’m greedy. I want even more of your love. Baby, can you try to like me even more?"

"Even more love?"

"Yes, call me greedy."

Before she had confessed her feelings to him, he thought even a little bit of her affection was enough.

But now, he didn’t think it was enough.

He wanted more...

He wanted to be the only one in her eyes.

He wanted to be the one she chose resolutely.

"But I might be a slow burn. I won’t fall for anyone too quickly," she said.

"That’s fine." Ashton Heath touched his lips. "I can wait."

"How long are you willing to wait?"

"I can wait as long as it takes. But I still hope I won’t have to wait too long." The man’s eyes were filled with affection, and he murmured softly, "Baby, I’ll work hard, I’ll make you like me even more."

Joanna couldn’t help but ask, "And you?"

"Hmm?"

"If I like you more, then you...?"

Before she had finished speaking, Ashton put her hand on his heart: "Baby, you’ve already filled this place to the brim. All of it is you."

In an instant, Joanna’s heart beat faster.

His words kept echoing in her ears.

He said, "This place has long been filled by you."

He said, "It’s all you inside..."

"Ashton Heath..."

"Joanna, I like you." The man’s low voice overflowed with affection, his dark pupils were filled with her figure, and he whispered tenderly, "I love you so much."

You fill my heart.

You fill my mind.

You fill the entire world.

Madly in love.

Cool mint-scented lips gently touched hers, and Joanna couldn’t help but wrap her arms around his neck, closing her eyes as her eyelashes trembled.

After a moment.

Ashton got up and walked toward the bathroom. "Baby, I’m going to take a shower. If the takeaway arrives, you can start eating first."

It didn’t take long for Joanna to hear the sound of water running in the bathroom.

Not long after Ashton had gone to the bathroom, his phone rang.

Joanna walked over and saw that the Caller ID was showing Rebecca Kelloway.

Her eyebrows couldn’t help but frown, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she picked it up and pressed the call button.

"Ashton, did I disturb your rest?" Rebecca’s voice came through, it sounded very gentle, especially the way she said "Ashton," which seemed very lingering.

Joanna pinched the phone, not saying a word.

Rebecca wasn’t aware that it was Joanna who’d answered the phone. Joanna remained silent, but Rebecca didn’t seem to mind, and spoke softly with a laugh, "You’re in Frankfurt now, right? I heard from Lady Octavia that Joanna had some issues, and you went to find her because you were worried about her. How is she now? Is she emotionally stable? What exactly happened with those scandals? Did she explain it to you?"

"Actually, I watched the video myself. I think it must have been hyped up by the unscrupulous media because there wasn’t anything ambiguous in it. Besides, Joanna is married to you, so why would she need to get close to a male actor for popularity? Ashton, you spoil her so much. As long as she asks you, who wouldn’t want to be Female Lead 1 in any TV series? However, Ashton, are you aware that Lady Octavia doesn’t really approve of Joanna acting? She talked to me today about it. She thinks it’s not appropriate for the young lady of the Heath family, with its current power and status, to be an actress."

"I know it’s a family matter and I shouldn’t be saying too much. But I also think being an actress isn’t the best career choice. You might be subject to gossip. Have you thought about asking Joanna to leave the entertainment industry?"

Joanna listened silently, wanting to know what Rebecca was getting at.

By now, it was clear enough.

Rebecca was advocating for Lady Octavia, trying to get Ashton to persuade Joanna to leave the entertainment industry.

"Ashton, are you listening to what I’m saying? I know you spoil Joanna, so you let her do whatever she wants. But is this really good for her? The entertainment industry is a sprawling melting pot. Do you really feel comfortable letting her stay in it?"

Joanna couldn’t help but sneer, "Miss Kelloway, you’re really good at meddling in other people’s affairs. I heard what you said earlier, loud and clear. First of all, thank you for your concern. However, since you know this is a family matter, it’s better for you, an outsider, not to interfere. Whether or not the entertainment industry is suitable for me is none of your business. My husband didn’t say anything when I became an actress, but you, an outsider, are constantly talking about how it’s not good and how there’ll be gossip. You seem to care about me more than my own husband."

"Joanna?!" Hearing her voice, Rebecca sounded shocked, "How is Ashton’s phone in your hands? Where is he?"

"Are you talking about my husband?"

Joanna glanced in the direction of the bathroom, curved her lips, and walked towards it. Arriving at the door, she knocked gently.

A deep, sexy voice came from the bathroom, "Baby, what’s up?"
