Chapter 84: Chapter 85: It will gradually get better after this

She frowned slightly, "Then why don’t you just rest at home for a day? You’re the boss, you don’t have to go to work every day."

Ashton Heath hooked his lips, reaching to touch her head, "Feeling sorry for me?"

"..."

"There is no need to rest. I can’t sleep at home anyway, I might as well go to work."

"Aren’t you sleepy?"

He shook his head, "No."

No matter how long he suffered from insomnia, he wouldn’t feel sleepy, but his mental state wouldn’t be very good.

Joanna asked in surprise, "You don’t feel sleepy even if you suffer from insomnia?"

Every time she had insomnia, she would be incredibly sleepy the next day.

There were people who didn’t feel sleepy even with insomnia?

Ashton Heath shook his head again. He rubbed his brow, his voice hoarse, "I feel tired, but not sleepy."

Even with the poor quality of sleep he got, lasting only three or four hours each night, he would rely on sleeping pills.

"Every time you have insomnia, it’s like this?"

"Mhm."

"Isn’t that a terrible feeling?"

"Mhm." Ashton Heath fell silent for a few seconds, as if he was submerged in some kind of memory. After a while, he sighed softly, "It’s awful."

"Do you have insomnia often?"

"Mhm, often."

Joanna immediately felt sympathy for him.

She would feel dreadful even with just one episode of insomnia, and it would take her days to return to a normal state.

For him to frequently have insomnia and not be able to catch up on sleep - wasn’t that even worse?

She thought one of the worst things in the world was not sleeping well.

She had believed that Ashton Heath was God’s favored one, with everything the best he could have. But who knew...

As Ashton Heath lowered his head, he saw the girl in front of him looking at him with pity.

In that instant, something softened deep in his heart.

He reached out to her and patted her head, his eyes filled with a doting he hadn’t even realized he had. "It will get better gradually."

"Huh?"

"Perhaps God pitied me and arranged for you to be by my side."

"..." Joanna blinked, not understanding his meaning.

What did his sleep quality have to do with her?

She wasn’t a doctor specializing in this area who could treat him.

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Ashton Heath didn’t explain much.

He reached out a hand, taking her soft and fair little hand into his. His slender white fingers threaded through hers, holding her hand tightly. "It’s almost noon. Let’s go, have lunch with me."

Ashton Heath had driven himself today.

He had driven a Lamborghini. In the parking lot, the silver-grey supercar was eye-catching.

After getting in the car,

Joanna casually asked, "Why isn’t Zack here?"

Ashton Heath looked at her and hooked his lips, teasing, "I told him I wanted to be alone with my wife, and there are some things we can’t do if he’s around. So he didn’t come."

Joanna: "Ahem, ahem, ahem..."

She coughed so hard that her face turned red.

She shouldn’t have asked that!

Seeing her face flushed from his teasing, Ashton Heath’s eyes held a hint of laughter. He added, "I thought you felt the same way. Every time I got close to you before, you felt shy. Now that it’s just the two of us, can I hold you and kiss you whenever I want?"

As he said this, he leaned in toward her.

His face, so breathtakingly beautiful that it was suffocating, was getting closer and closer to Joanna. Closer and closer...
