Chapter 994: Chapter 992: She Really Likes Him So Much

If it weren’t for Lady Octavia and Rebecca still outside, she would have run out and hugged Ashton, giving him a kiss.

How could her husband be so amazing?

She really, really liked him.

At this moment, she was genuinely grateful that she had chosen to marry him.

If she had missed out on such a man, she would probably regret it for the rest of her life.

Joanna stood at the door, peeking through the crack to see Lady Octavia’s face growing increasingly unpleasant.

She thought for a moment and sent Ashton a message on Twitter: Honey, I just heard Mom’s voice, did she come over? Quickly bring me my clothes, Mom’s here, and I need to go out and see her.

Lady Octavia didn’t like Joanna, and naturally, Joanna didn’t like her either.

She could have continued pretending to sleep, not needing to go out and see Lady Octavia at all.

She didn’t want to see Lady Octavia.

But after thinking it through, she decided to go out and greet Lady Octavia.

No matter what, Lady Octavia was still Ashton’s birth mother.

Even if she couldn’t bring herself to love everything about her, she couldn’t lose basic respect for her.

No matter how Lady Octavia treated her.

As a daughter-in-law, she just needed to do her part well.

At least, she needed to have a clear conscience.

As for the things that couldn’t be forced, she didn’t want to force them anymore.

By now, the only person she cared about was Ashton.

As long as he continued to stand by her side.

For everyone else, she didn’t care anymore.

Outside the resting room.

Ashton’s phone, which was placed on the office desk, "dinged." After seeing Joanna’s message on Twitter, he put down his phone and picked up the clothes bag on the table.

Not bothering to greet Lady Octavia and Rebecca, he turned and entered the resting room directly.

At his action, Lady Octavia’s face turned black with anger, her chest heaving up and down.

"Lady Octavia, please don’t be angry." Rebecca bit her lip lightly, appearing gentle and understanding, "Ashton’s not targeting you; he just... didn’t want to see me. I... I should leave."

Blinking, her eyes brimming with tears, she continued, "I shouldn’t have come here. I don’t want to cause trouble between you and Ashton."

"What nonsense are you talking about." The more angry Lady Octavia was with Ashton, the more sensible Rebecca seemed to her. At this moment, she only wished that Rebecca was her daughter. How nice would it be if she had a daughter who was so sensible, obedient, and considerate.

She wouldn’t have been treated like this then.

"Rebecca, this has nothing to do with you," Lady Octavia stared at the closed door of the resting room, grinding her teeth with hatred, "It’s all because of that siren. Ever since she married into the Heath family, our home has become so discordant."

"Why are you leaving? What’s there to be afraid of? Even if she’s married to Ashton, she’s nothing. Today, I must wait for that siren to come out. I want to see what she dares to do to me."

Rebecca watched as Lady Octavia’s eyes filled with hatred and discontent, her own calculating and triumphant gaze quickly flashing past.

In the resting room.

Joanna changed her clothes and went to the bathroom to tidy up. After ensuring her appearance was in order, she followed Ashton out.

When they reached the door, Ashton stopped, lowered his head, and hesitated, "Do you really want to go out? If you don’t want to..."

"Honey, it wouldn’t be right for me to know that Mom is here and keep hiding without going out to see her. She’s your mom and now also mine. I have to respect her. Besides, with you by my side, I know you’ll protect me, right?"
