256: Chapter 258: Do you know this woman that Ashton brought back?
Seeing how much Madam Heath enjoyed Joanna Lawrence, Ashton Heath’s lips curled up in pleasure: “Since Grandma thinks she’s so good, shouldn’t there be a welco gift?”
“You little rascal.”
Madam Heath glared at him, but her eyes were filled with indulgence and affection: “You think your grandma doesn’t know such basic etiquette?
Don’t worry, your wife won’t be shortchanged.
I’ve prepared sothing for her already.”
After Rowan ca to report earlier, Madam Heath had already asked soone to bring out the welco gift.
She had prepared it early.
She had been waiting for several years but was never able to give it away.
Her precious grandson was mysteriously uninterested in won, remaining single all these years, causing Madam Heath to worry.
She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to give away the gifts she had prepared.
But now it was fine.
After eting Joanna Lawrence, Madam Heath was completely reassured.
She was satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
Her grandson’s choice in people was indeed excellent, and he had picked such a beautiful daughter-in-law for her.
This delicate and lovely face was so pleasing to look at.
Only such a pure young lady was worthy of her precious grandson.
Other than Ashton Heath, the Heath family didn’t know that Madam Heath was actually obsessed with appearance.
To please her was very simple; as long as a person was good-looking, she would be satisfied.
The better the appearance, the more she liked them.
Not only was Joanna Lawrence beautiful, but she happened to have the kind of appearance Madam Heath liked.
Even Joanna herself didn’t know that she won Madam Heath’s approval so easily just because of her face.
If she knew, she would definitely find an opportunity to introduce Aria Rowlett to Madam Heath.
After all, people who shared the sa tastes in beauty, regardless of age, could always find common ground.
“Go and bring out the gift I prepared for Joanna.” Madam Heath changed the way she addressed her new granddaughter after giving her approval, calling her “Joanna” with great affection.
This side was full of harmony and joy.
On the other side, however, the intimately seated Lady Octavia and Rebecca Kelloway’s expressions were not very pleasant.
Rebecca Kelloway was the daughter-in-law Lady Octavia had chosen.
She had always wanted to arrange for Ashton Heath and Rebecca to be together, but her son remained indifferent to the daughter-in-law she had set her heart on.
No matter how many opportunities she created, the relationship between the two did not progress any further.
However, even so, the person Lady Octavia was most satisfied with as her daughter-in-law was still Rebecca.
During their daily interactions, she had long been treating Rebecca like her daughter-in-law.
But who would have thought that her son would suddenly bring ho a woman and even say that they had already gotten their marriage certificate?
As parents, they only found out now.
Lady Octavia was furious at Ashton Heath’s way of handling things without consulting them first, but since Madam Heath was present and showed such affection for Joanna Lawrence, she could not say anything in this situation.
In the Heath family now, Madam Heath was an absolute authority figure.
From her youth to now, Lady Octavia had always held a certain reverence for Madam Heath.
She did not dare to casually offend Madam Heath.
However, she was extrely dissatisfied with this sudden daughter-in-law.
She coldly asked Rebecca, “Rebecca, do you know this woman Ashton has brought back?”
From the mont Ashton Heath walked into the hall with Joanna Lawrence, Rebecca’s eyes had been following him.
Seeing him pat Joanna’s head so affectionately and look at Joanna with such loving eyes, Rebecca felt as if her heart was being torn apart, and it hurt terribly.
