Chapter 995 - 993: No One Can Bully You

Chapter 995: Chapter 993: No One Can Bully You

The man’s deep eyes darkened, and his voice lowered: "Say it again."

Joanna blinked, feigning ignorance: "Say what again?"

She was being so proactive this time because of his excellent performance earlier.

Ashton Heath wrapped his arm around her waist, tightened his grip, and pinched her slender waist. His gaze was focused and full of affection, while his tone was somewhat overbearing yet irresistibly gentle: "Call me husband."

Joanna blinked again, her lips curling up sweetly: "Didn’t I just say it?"

"Mhm. I didn’t get enough. Say it again."

Considering the way the man had defended her in front of Lady Octavia earlier, Joanna felt warmth in her heart. She looked at him tenderly and called out softly yet again: "Husband."

Ashton’s Adam’s apple bobbed twice.

He lowered his head, his eyes blazing.

Joanna was all too familiar with this look.

She was afraid that the man might act impulsively and do something irrational.

Lady Octavia and Rebecca Kelloway were still outside.

Joanna didn’t want them to think she was being improper during the day, still acting like a siren clinging to Ashton Heath.

"Mom is still outside!" Joanna slapped the man’s arm, her eyes filled with warning, "You’re not allowed to be reckless!"

Ashton kept silent, his deep gaze lingering on her for a moment. He took a deep breath to slow his breathing.

The arm wrapped around her waist didn’t loosen. He spoke again, his voice no longer as hoarse as before: "I know. Baby, of course I will protect you. No one but me can bully you."

"I just don’t want to make you unhappy. I want to do everything perfectly so everyone is satisfied, but not everything is within my control. Mom still has misunderstandings about you, and I can’t change her opinion right away. It’s inevitable that you might be wronged."

Joanna nodded, expressing her understanding: "You don’t have to worry, I know all about it. I’m not a dollar bill, naturally, I can’t make everyone like me. Actually, as long as you and Grandma spoil me, I’m already very content."

Although she said this, Ashton’s eyes still showed a hint of apology: "In any case, I still let you be wronged."

"I don’t feel wronged at all." Joanna looked into the man’s self-blaming eyes and hugged him, "My husband treats me so well, giving me so much happiness, and making me so happy every day. How could I feel wronged?"

"I’m very happy, blessed, and extremely satisfied with my current life."

"Ashton Heath, all of this is because of you."

Joanna affirmed, word by word: "You’ve already done a great job. I won’t allow you to blame yourself."

Ashton looked down at the petite, soft girl in his arms, and her words touched a particularly tender spot in his heart.

His eyes softened. He reached out to stroke her head indulgently and whispered: "Okay, I won’t blame myself. I’ll strive to do even better and give my wife even more happiness."

The couple walked out of the resting room hand in hand.

When Rebecca saw the intimate scene of the two, her face couldn’t help but darken.

Lady Octavia’s face was also cold. When she saw Joanna, her expression grew even colder.

As soon as Joanna came out, she was met with two frosty faces...
