534: Chapter 533: He Didn’t Force 534: Chapter 533: He Didn’t Force If she were to ask for his life, he would give it to her without hesitation.
He even wanted to say that since she’s so scared, they might as well not have kids.
He hates seeing her frightened.
And he can’t stand to see her in pain.
He wasn’t particularly concerned about having his own children— if she truly didn’t want to, he’d be okay with it.
They could adopt a child instead.
Or even adopt one from a side branch of the Heath family.
Anyway, there are many ways to have a child; she doesn’t necessarily have to give birth herself.
However, even if he doesn’t really want children, if it is to have them with her, he would still be willing.
“Okay,” He stared at her, his gaze soft and tender, petting her head with indulgence, his voice gentle too, “If you don’t want to give birth, then we won’t.”
“Er…”
Joanna wanted to say she wasn’t unwilling to give birth.
She just didn’t want to do so this early.

When going to the pharmacy to buy dicine, Ashton insisted on accompanying Joanna.
As they walked into the store, the shopkeeper ca over to ask what they wanted to buy.
Upon hearing Joanna ask for a box of ergency contraceptives, the shopkeeper’s expression changed.
When she looked at Ashton again, her gaze held a deeper aning.
The shopkeepers here were all middle-aged won in their forties and fifties.
Unlike the young girls who were instantly infatuated by Ashton.
Though the middle-aged woman did find the young man who had just walked in to be handso, it was just the admiring gaze of an elder towards the younger, not infatuation.
“Young lady, are the ergency contraceptives for yourself?” The old lady shopkeeper gave Ashton a deep glance, showing a hint of caution, then her gaze fell on Joanna’s face, showing a trace of inexplicable indignation.
Joanna was still young.
It was her first ti buying such thing, and being looked at with such a strange gaze by the shopkeeper, her face involuntarily flushed.
She pursed her lips and quietly replied, “Yes.”
The shopkeeper’s face changed again.
She suddenly reached out and took Joanna’s hand, saying, “We have several types of ergency contraceptives here, co take a look with , I’ll tell you which one works best.”
With that, she led Joanna away.
Ashton watched as the shopkeeper took Joanna around a corner.
His deep eyes narrowed slightly and his brows furrowed.
He had a strange feeling about the shopkeeper’s gaze at him just now.
Behind the shelf.
The kindly middle-aged old lady spoke in a suppressed and indignant voice, “Young lady, tell , were you forced by that young man outside?
Don’t be scared, tell everything.
I will help you.”
Joanna: “?”
She was completely perplexed, but honestly replied, “He, he didn’t force .”
“He didn’t force you?” The old lady thought of the handso face of the young man outside and suddenly understood.
She sighed and said resentfully, “He must have used his good looks and sweet words to deceive you.”
“Young lady, I have a daughter about your age.
Seeing you is like seeing my own daughter.
Don’t mind my lengthy speech.
The young man is really good-looking, with a face that girls love.
But no matter how good-looking he is, you can’t be with a criminal.”
Joanna was again puzzled, completely not understanding what the old lady was talking about.
Was she saying that Ashton had committed a cri?
