Chapter 875: Chapter 873: I Willingly Accept Everything
Joanna Lawrence didn’t fully trust him. As he moved his handsome face closer, she gently pushed him away, "Ashton Heath, I have to get up early tomorrow."
"Hmm, I know."
"I need to sleep early tonight too."
"Hmm, I know."
"So you can’t ..."
"Hmm, I know."
"..."

Early the next day.
Ashton Heath got up just past five in the morning.
He initially flew over to see Joanna during his work hours. In order to not hinder his progress at work, he had to fly back before dawn broke.
When he got up, Joanna Lawrence also groggily opened her eyes.
Seeing the slender figure beside her, she stayed frozen for a while before she finally comprehended.
She rubbed her eyes and tried to sit up. But, he pressed her down. His deep and gentle voice fell on her ears, "You do not need to get up, continue sleeping. I will leave soon after I finish packing."
Joanna was truly tired.
However, thinking about his exhaustive pattern of flying to see her, how could she rest peacefully?
Being just awake, her voice still raspy, she said, "Wait for me, I will accompany you to the airport."
"No need."
Ashton Heath pushed her back into bed, pulled up her quilt, bent over and gently kissed her forehead, "Baby, please continue sleeping, there’s no need to send me off. I have to leave immediately, there may not be enough time to wait for you."
"Please continue sleeping. I’ll call you once I get there."
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang.
Joanna saw him answer the call, hanging up after about a minute.
"Baby, I have to go now." Ashton Heath said with reluctance in his eyes, before kissing her lips again, "I’ve ordered breakfast for you. Be sure to eat before you head to the film crew."
"...Alright."
Joanna saw that he really seemed busy so she pushed away her thought.
"Then, I am leaving." Ashton Heath touched her head, "I will come to see you when I am free."
"Ashton Heath..."
Joanna suddenly felt pity for the man in front of her.
Last night, he definitely didn’t sleep well.
He got up so early, even though he slept late.
She even noticed the dark circles under his eyes.
"Hmm?" Ashton Heath sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her with gentle eyes, "Baby, is there something you want to say to me?"
"Actually, you don’t need to rush over every day." Although seeing him every day did bring her joy, if this joy at the expense of constant travel back and forth, she can’t bear to see him working so hard.
"Oh? Do you not feel happy when I come to see you?"
"I do feel happy. But you are so exhausted, I feel heartache." Joanna climbed out of bed, tenderly touched his eyes, "You are not resting well like this. Let’s meet only on weekends from now on."
When they were in Closia, they didn’t meet as frequently as they do now.
She doesn’t know why, but ever since she arrived in Frankfurt, this man has been flying over to meet her every day.
Could it be because he’s worried about leaving her alone here?
"You are exhausted and it’s a hassle for you to run back and forth every day. Plus, it will affect your work. I think it’s good for us to meet once every week."
Ashton Heath’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, "But I don’t feel tired nor do I find it a hassle. Does my constant visits bother you?"
Joanna pitied him, yet Ashton sensed a sign of rejection from her.
Joanna Lawrence: "....no."
"Then you don’t need to worry about me." Ashton Heath touched her head softly, and said, "I truly don’t feel tired, even if I did, it would be a happy burden to me. In conclusion, everything I do, I do willingly. You don’t need to concern yourself with my actions."
"Alright, continue sleeping. It’s still early, you could get two more hours of sleep."
Joanna saw that she couldn’t convince him, hence she gave up.
Forget it, if this man wants to run around, let him be.
She can tell, if she continued to persuade him, he might overthink.
He might think that she was stopping him for a reason.
After all, this man has the traits of a vinegar jar, a very easy-to-topple kind of vinegar jar.

After Ashton Heath left, Joanna quickly fell asleep again.
She slept till the alarm rang, only then did she get up rubbing her eyes.
Just as she finished freshening up, she heard the doorbell ring.
She opened the door to find the hotel’s room service delivering breakfast.
As she brought it back to her room and opened the bag, she found various breakfast items that Ashton had ordered for her.
There were simple dishes with rice porridge, bread and milk, as well as fruits and pastries.
Joanna thought that Ashton was treating her like a pig.
The food he ordered was too much for one person.
However, having so many tasty breakfast options waiting for her as soon as she opened her eyes felt great.

After breakfast, Joanna promptly headed to the film crew.
Upon arriving, she sensed that the crew’s attitude towards her had subtly changed again.
If they were considerate towards her before, now they were being extremely courteous towards her.
She wasn’t surprised.
The words that Gary White had said last night probably got around.
So now, everyone on the film crew was aware that she was Gary White’s cousin.
Their attitude naturally improved with regard to the cousin of their director.
When Joanna arrived at the film crew, she bumped head-on with Maddox Allenson who had just arrived too. Since she intended to maintain distance from him, she couldn’t turn a blind eye anymore.
She hesitated, but still, took the initiative to greet him, "Good morning, Mr. Allenson."
Hearing her address him, Maddox Allenson’s eyebrows slightly creased. He pursed his lips and nodded, "Good Morning."
After greeting him, Joanna prepared to leave.
"Ms. Joanna." Maddox Allenson stopped her when they were crossing paths.
Joanna had no choice but to halt in her tracks. She then asked in a polite and distant tone, "Can I assist you with something, Mr. Allenson?"
