Chapter 874: Chapter 872: Just Kissing You, Nothing Else

Joanna Lawrence wasn’t completely trusting of him just yet. Gazing at the handsome face drawing ever closer to her, she gently pushed him away: "Ashton Heath, I have to get up early tomorrow."

"Mmm, I know."

"I need to go to bed early tonight."

"Mmm, I know."

"So you can’t..."

"Mmm, I know."

As the final note of his voice fell, his hot lips came down lightly landing on hers, slowly rubbing against them: "Baby, I’m just kissing you, nothing more."

The kiss went on for a long while.

Towards the end, it was starting to get a little out of control.

Fortunately, Ashton Heath did as he promised, managing to control himself despite being on the brink of losing it.

Joanna Lawrence, her face flushed, lay down on the bed reading a script, the sound of running water from the bathroom indicating that Ashton was taking another cold shower.

Surprisingly, he had managed to control himself tonight.

Earlier, she had been so stirred up by him that she wouldn’t have rejected him if he had persisted.

Every time, didn’t this man seduce her into a state of confusion before she yielded to him...

The following morning came very early.

A little past five in the morning, Ashton Heath was already up.

He had come to visit Joanna Lawrence during his official trip, so to avoid any delay in his work schedule, he had to fly back before dawn.

When he rose, Joanna Lawrence’s blurry eyes blinked open.

Seeing the slender figure beside her, she took a while to react as she was not yet fully awake.

She rubbed her eyes and was about to get up when she was stopped by his warm and gentle voice: "You don’t have to get up, go back to sleep. When I’m done packing, I’ll leave."

Joanna was indeed very tired.

However, thinking how he travelled relentlessly to see her, she couldn’t possibly go back to sleep in peace.

Having just woken up, her voice was still raspy: "Wait for me, I’ll take you to the airport."

"There’s no need."

Ashton gently pushed her back down, covering her with a blanket, bending down to kiss her forehead lightly: "Baby, continue sleeping, you don’t need to see me off. I’ll have to leave soon, probably won’t have time to wait for you to come with me."

"Just continue sleeping, I’ll call you when I’ve landed."

No sooner had he finished speaking, his phone rang.

Joanna watched as he took the call, hanging up after about a minute.

"Baby, I have to go now." Ashton looked at her longingly, leaning down to give Joanna another peck on the lips, "I’ve ordered breakfast for you, you must eat it before going to the film crew."

"...Okay."

Seeing how busy he actually was, Joanna gave up the idea.

"I am leaving then." Ashton patted her head tenderly, "I’ll come to see you again when I have time."

"Ashton Heath..."

Joanna suddenly felt a pang of heartache for the man in front of her.

He must not have slept well last night.

Having gone to bed late and having to wake up this early.

She noticed the dark circles under his eyes.

"Mmm?" Ashton sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes looking at her tenderly, "Baby, do you have something else to say to me?"

"Actually, you don’t have to run around like this every day." Although seeing him every day was a joy, if this joy meant he had to run back and forth constantly, Joanna couldn’t bear to see him struggle like this.
