187: Chapter 189: How Could She Willingly Quit 187: Chapter 189: How Could She Willingly Quit Knowing that she was naturally shy, and that it was her first ti eting his friends today, he guessed she might feel a bit uneasy.
Every few minutes, he would serve her food, pour her a drink, or chat with her for a bit.
Most of the food Joanna had eaten was what Ashton had put in her bowl.
Seeing his attentive gestures, Yannick Luther sighed with emotion, “If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.
Can you guys tell , when has Ashton ever been so caring and attentive to anyone before?”
He turned to Frank Parker and asked, “Frank, you’ve been good buddies with Ashton for so many years.
Has he ever served you food like that?”
Frank Parker gave him a cold glance.
Without waiting for his answer, Yannick touched his nose and said with a grin, “Anyway, I’ve never been treated like that.
Sister-in-law, this is an exclusive treatnt for you.
You don’t know what a proud man Ashton is.
Apart from himself, I bet he doesn’t care about anyone.”
“But now, you are in his eyes too.
Little sister-in-law, we brothers are all envious of you.
Right, Ms.
Rebecca?
He didn’t treat you like this when you were younger, did he?
Did Ashton ever serve you food?”
Yannick was doing this on purpose.
He wanted Rebecca Kelloway to face the reality and let go of her unrealistic thoughts.
Because he knew Ashton Heath too well.
If Rebecca could adjust her mindset in ti and treat Ashton as a true friend or brother, their friendship could still continue.
If she still clung to those thoughts, he feared…
As a friend for so many years, Yannick did not want to see anything bad happen.
Rebecca’s fingers tightened around her wine glass as she looked up at Yannick.
A hint of anger appeared in her eyes.
Yannick looked back at her, his lips curved into a smile, “Isn’t that right?
You’ve never been treated like this either.
Ashton always says you’re like his younger sister, but he never treated her this well before.
He clearly favors love over friends.”
“Yes, that’s right,” Rebecca clenched her teeth, her smile strained.
She knew exactly what Yannick was thinking.
However, she had loved Ashton Heath for twenty years.
How could she let go of that love just like that?
Why should she have to let go?!
She had t Ashton before anyone else; emotionally, her relationship with him was much deeper.
Apart from him, she couldn’t even bring herself to look at anyone else.
She once thought that if Ashton never married, she wouldn’t get married either.
She would silently accompany him throughout her life in this way.
Deep down, she knew she could never fall in love with anyone else.
All her ti, feelings, and sincerity had been given to him.
Under such circumstances, how could she willingly step back?
Eating in silence, Joanna, who was suddenly addressed by na, “…”
She looked up and gave Yannick an awkward but polite smile, “…Really?”
“Of course!” Yannick grinned, “Little sister-in-law, you don’t think Ashton is this attentive to just anyone, do you?
I tell you, besides you, I’ve never seen him be so tender and attentive to anyone.
Really!”
He even raised his voice and emphasized it at the end.
“He hasn’t even been this attentive to Lady Octavia.
Today she wasn’t here, otherwise, she would definitely be jealous!”
