My Secret Billionaire Husband
Chapter 983 - 981: Lady Octavia, are you talking about Ashton?

Chapter 983: Chapter 981: Lady Octavia, are you talking about Ashton?

When she calls him husband, her face would become hot and turn red.

Even though this man is really her husband.

"So are you not mad anymore?" Joanna Lawrence tilted her head to look at him, the blackness of her pupils seemed to be covered with a mist, her eyebrows and expression were charming and lovely.

Ashton Heath couldn’t help but slightly smile.

Where was his anger now?

She had him wrapped around her finger.

She was a smart little devil, knowing the best way to get to him.

Even if he knew she was doing it on purpose, he still willingly took the bait.

Who could blame him if the bait she set was something he liked?

Heaven knew that when she called him husband, no matter what she asked for, he couldn’t resist.

"Hmm, Baby, call me that a couple more times and I won’t be mad anymore." The man was getting a bit greedy.

Since Joanna was trying to coax him now, she immediately complied with whatever he asked, obediently calling out twice, "Husband, husband..."

All she wanted now was to please this man.

And with those two calls of ’husband’, the man’s face instantly brightened up, a hint of laughter emerging in the depths of his eyes.

The gloominess in his brows and eyes vanished in an instant.

The speed at which his mood changed amazed Joanna...

"Alright, go there early tonight, and don’t eat too much. After you finish talking, I’ll take you to eat something delicious." Not only did the man’s face change from gloomy to bright, his words also became much more amiable.

Previously, he had been extremely dissatisfied with this matter, but now he could smile and agree with her.

Joanna’s inner feelings at this moment were: "..."

Was it true that the coquettish woman was the luckiest?

She found that this move of acting coquettish was particularly effective.

Whether it was when she was begging Ashton, or when she was trying to appease him, it was especially useful.

And, it worked every time.

It seemed that from now on she would have to act more coquettishly towards Ashton.

"Wow, husband, you’re the best." Discovering that acting coquettish was quite effective and that Ashton loved it, Joanna decided to take this strategy to the extreme. She hugged the man’s neck, exerting a slight force to lower his head, then stood on tiptoes and kissed his handsome face again.

The word "husband" was even more coquettish and tender than before.

She hovered like a dragonfly kissing the water, before attempting to pull away.

Just as she made a gesture to retreat, the man grabbed her by the jaw...

A high-end coffee shop with luxurious decoration.

A noble madam dressed in an elegant and dignified manner walked in. The waiter immediately came up to her, extremely respectful, and said, "Lady Octavia, Ms. Kelloway has arrived."

This noble madam was Lady Octavia.

She had arranged to meet Rebecca Kelloway at this coffee shop.

It was Rebecca who had called her and invited her here.

Lady Octavia was a regular customer of this coffee shop, and the staff here knew her well. When they saw her, they greeted her warmly, without the slightest neglect.

With utmost respect, the waiter led Lady Octavia to the private room where Rebecca had reserved a table.

Arriving at the door of the private room, the waiter knocked gently and respectfully informed the one inside, "Ms. Kelloway, Lady Octavia has arrived."

The sound of high heels stepping on the floor could be heard.

Soon, the door opened.

Seeing Lady Octavia standing outside, Rebecca Kelloway immediately greeted her affectionately, "Lady Octavia."

Lady Octavia, seeing Rebecca, showed a loving smile on her face: "Rebecca, when did you get here? Have you been waiting long?"

"No, I just got here a little while ago. And even if I had to wait for you, Lady Octavia, I would be willing to wait as long as it takes. I’ve already ordered the coffee you like. Please come in."

Rebecca took Lady Octavia’s arm and led her into the private room.

The two of them sat down together, side by side like an affectionate mother and daughter.

Rebecca gently held Lady Octavia’s arm and softly said, "Lady Octavia, I actually wanted to go to Heath Villa to visit you. But I heard you haven’t been out for a few days, so I thought it would be better to ask you out to chat."

"Lady Octavia, I heard from Nancy that your mood has not been very good these past few days. If someone upset you, please tell me and I’ll go settle the score with them."

Lady Octavia’s smiling face instantly disappeared when she heard this.

Rebecca naturally knew what had happened.

She had her own spies in the Heath family.

So she had long since learned the clear reasons for Lady Octavia’s unhappiness.

But she couldn’t let Lady Octavia know about this.

Feigning anxiety, she immediately apologized to Lady Octavia: "I’m sorry, Lady Octavia. Did I say something I shouldn’t have? Did it upset you?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Lady Octavia thought of Rebecca as a daughter and held her hand, gently patting the back of her hand while sighing, "Rebecca, you’re so well-behaved, how could you possibly make me angry? It’s that unfilial son of mine who has completely disregarded me as his mother."

"Lady Octavia, are you talking about Ashton?" Rebecca asked in feigned surprise, "Ashton has always been the most filial and obedient to you. How could he make you angry?"

Lady Octavia laughed coldly, "He used to be filial and obedient. Now he doesn’t even consider my feelings."

"Lady Octavia, what exactly happened?" Rebecca asked with an anxious expression on her face, "Please tell me, perhaps I can help you analyze the situation.
