53: Chapter 53: Can’t go to school on an empty stomach 53: Chapter 53: Can’t go to school on an empty stomach Joanna Lawrence was startled.
She opened her eyes wide, a little frightened, and stepped back a bit, “Who are you?”
Mr.
Rowan smiled, looking at the young Ms.
Joanna who was not even twenty years old, and said gently, “I am the housekeeper of the Heath Villa, Mr.
Rowan.
Mr.
Ashton is having breakfast in the dining room.
Are you also going to have breakfast now, Ms.
Joanna?”
Heath Villa…
Joanna was in a trance for a mont, then turned her head to look around, taking in the luxurious and extravagant mansion before her.
So this is Ashton Heath’s house.
At first, she thought it was just a villa or sothing.
But now…
She realized that it was indeed her poverty that limited her imagination.
This castle-like mansion was much larger than any villa.
“Is Ashton still at ho?” She’d just checked the ti and thought he’d already gone to Heath Group.
Upon hearing her call Ashton’s na directly, Mr.
Rowan hesitated for a mont, but soon his face returned to its usual expression, nodding, “Yes, Mr.
Ashton is at ho.”
“Oh.”
Joanna nodded and said, “Then I’ll go find him.
Please show the way.”
Mr.
Rowan hurriedly replied, “You’re too kind, Ms.
Joanna.”

When Joanna walked for a few minutes before finally arriving at the dining room, she felt it was indeed necessary for Mr.
Rowan to lead her there.
Otherwise, she would surely lose her way.
At the dining table with white carved patterns, several ters long, the man in loose casual ho clothes held a cup of coffee and elegantly took a sip.
Hearing the footsteps, he looked up.
His deep black eyes fell on Joanna, gazing at her for a few seconds; the man’s handso eyebrows furrowed slightly.
As soon as he furrowed his brow, Joanna couldn’t help but feel tense.
She always felt like she had done sothing wrong.
A mont later.
Ashton raised his arm and waved to her, “Co here.”
The man’s voice was as usual domineering and strong, carrying the majesty of a long-standing superior position, as if commanding her.
Joanna walked over.
Stopping about a ter away from him.
She looked down at the man’s stunning, devilishly handso face, her heart rate uncontrollably quickening; after taking a deep breath, she managed to calm her emotions.
Frowning, she said anxiously, “Ashton, I have sothing to tell you.”
However, the man seed unhurried, glanced at her, and said indifferently, “Sit down and eat first, we can talk about it later.”
“But…” Joanna said hurriedly, “I don’t have ti for breakfast now.
Can you ask soone to take to school right away?
I have a very important class today that I can’t miss.”
“What class?
What ti does it start?” The man’s voice was still indifferent, unhurried.
“Performance class,” Joanna took out her phone and checked the ti again, growing more anxious, “It starts at ten.
There’s less than an hour left…”
“Hmm.” Ashton nodded, indicating he knew about it.
Then, he didn’t say anything more.
His attitude made Joanna extrely anxious.
“Ashton, you said you’d take to school last night.
You can’t break your word.”
“Why are you in such a hurry?
It’s not like I’m not letting you go.” Ashton tapped the table lightly, motioning her to sit down, “Eat first.”
Joanna couldn’t eat at all.
“I…”
“Joanna, be good.” The man’s voice dropped a few notches, laced with a gentle tone as if coaxing a child, “I’ll help you with the class issue, you don’t need to worry.
No matter how anxious you are, you still have to eat breakfast, you can’t go to school on an empty stomach.”
