Joanna, Ashton is right, feel free to order whatever you like, it’s my treat!” Seeing the atmosphere at the table becoming a bit tense, Yannick Luther imdiately tried to liven things up, laughing and saying, “Order the expensive stuff, don’t look at the cheap ones.
If you order sothing cheap, that ans you’re not giving , Yannick Luther, any face.”
Joanna: “…”
She knew that Yannick was trying to ease the tension, so she cooperated and said, “Alright, haha, then I won’t stand on ceremony.”
After that, she picked up the nu and quietly ordered a few dishes.
After she casually ordered a few dishes, Ashton Heath took a look at the nu and added an ice cream to the order, then smiled at her and asked, “Don’t you like ice cream?
You always have one after dinner.
Is strawberry flavor fine?”
Joanna: “…Yes.”
Sitting across from the two of them, Rebecca Kelloway clenched her lips, feeling as if her heart was being cut by a knife, and a sour feeling welled up in her eyes.
“Sorry.” She took a deep breath and suddenly stood up, “I need to go to the restroom.”
After saying that, she pushed away her chair and quickly walked out.
Yannick watched her hurriedly leave, sighing silently in his heart.
Soday, so things might change for the worse.
In the past, Ashton had always been cold to any woman, even if he wasn’t interested in Rebecca, it wouldn’t have been too hard on her.
But now…
He’s married, has a wife, and seems to pamper his wife quite a bit.
Needless to say, it’s like stabbing knives into the heart of Rebecca, who has secretly admired him for over a decade.
Yannick thought it would be better for the two to see each other less in the future.
Otherwise, the pain in Rebecca’s heart would only keep growing worse.

Rebecca walked out of the private room, and tears stread down her face.
Before this, she had hoped that Ashton didn’t really like that girl.
He was only with her because he wouldn’t have an allergic reaction to her.
Just now, when she saw that Joanna didn’t even have a ring on her finger, she was even more convinced of her thoughts.
She felt happy about it for a while.
As long as Ashton didn’t like that woman, even if they were married… it wouldn’t matter.
In wealthy families, there were many marriages based on interest.
How many couples actually ended up together because they genuinely liked each other?
In the future, she might marry a man she doesn’t like herself.
If he doesn’t like Joanna, he won’t touch her, and their marriage won’t last long.
As long as he doesn’t like Joanna…
It’s not too late for everything.
But just now, his various acts of protection and the tender look in his eyes when he looked at Joanna didn’t seem like the behavior of soone who doesn’t like her.
On the contrary.
Ashton would only act like that when he liked and cared about soone.
Rebecca couldn’t accept this reality.
She could accept Ashton marrying another woman, but she couldn’t accept his heart belonging to another woman too.
How could this be!
She had been by his side for over twenty years, and if he were to like soone, it should be her!
What did a woman who hasn’t known him for long count for!
“Rebecca?”
A slightly surprised voice sounded in her ear.
Rebecca looked up, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at the man who called out to her.
Seeing her crying, the man not far away from her was stunned for a mont, and his face instantly darkened.
He strode towards Rebecca, walked up to her, and frowned, “What’s wrong?”
“I’m fine,” Rebecca wiped away her tears, squeezed a smile from the corner of her mouth, and pretended to laugh, “I accidentally got sothing in my eye, it feels a bit uncomfortable.”
