558: Chapter 557: It Starts with Looks, but It’s Definitely Not Just About Looks 558: Chapter 557: It Starts with Looks, but It’s Definitely Not Just About Looks “If I like soone, I would have made a move a long ti ago.
Keeping my distance is not my style.”
Joanna Lawrence: “…”
She couldn’t argue with that.
He was indeed a man of action.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gotten married on the sa day they first t.
It seems that he really didn’t like Rebecca Kelloway after all.
But to say that she was his type?
Joanna didn’t quite believe it.
Not because she lacked self-confidence, but because when she and Ashton Heath got together, it wasn’t because they liked each other.
She was doing it for Jeremy Lawrence.
He…
was doing it because of his strange condition.
In the beginning, this was just a marriage of convenience for both of them.
Gradually, however, this marriage, based on their respective interests, seed to change.
From being ready to divorce at any ti, she began to have hope for this marriage.
And from being an outsider at first, she began to genuinely accept her married status and a husband nad Ashton Heath.
“Do you have any other questions?” The man’s slender fingers playfully tapped her nose.
“You can ask anything you want.
I’ll answer everything, except what I don’t know.”
His candid deanor left Joanna with no desire to ask more questions.
Besides being curious about what just happened, she really had no other questions.
She shook her head: “I don’t have any more questions.”
“Are you sure?” Ashton Heath seed regretful.
“You can think again; don’t you have anything else to ask ?”
“It seems like there’s one question…”
“Hmm?”
“Ashton Heath, what exactly do you like about ?” Joanna asked seriously.
“Did you fall for my beauty, and was it my looks that won you over?”
After all, other than her looks, she didn’t have any other shining traits.
Ashton Heath: “…”
He suddenly recalled the words Joanna had said to Rebecca Kelloway earlier.
She said that she was with him because of his face.
Even if he knew she might be making it up, at this mont, he still wanted to know what she really thought.
Joanna was taken aback: “I asked you first…”
“Yes, it started with your looks, but it’s definitely not just about your looks.” Ashton Heath answered her question.
“There are too many specifics that I can’t ntion, but you are my type.”
“I knew it from the mont I saw you.”
He never hid his feelings from her.
It wasn’t the first ti he told her he liked her.
But at this mont, Joanna felt moved.
Facing such a man, even if he confessed to her a thousand or ten thousand tis, she would still be moved by it, wouldn’t she?
Who could resist such a man, full of irresistible charm?
“I’ve answered, now it’s your turn.” Ashton Heath pinched her delicate chin, seemingly indifferent on the surface, but inside, a deep, hidden nervousness and anticipation erged.
He was waiting for her answer.
At this mont, his emotions were quite complicated.
He was a bit afraid that her answer wouldn’t be what he wanted to hear.
But he was also very curious about how she would respond.
“I…” Joanna opened her mouth, but before she could say more, a sudden knock on the door interrupted her.
Cody Aberton’s voice ca from outside: “President Ashton, should we continue the eting?
Everyone is still waiting for you in the Conference Room.”
The sudden knock on the door made Ashton Heath feel a little displeased.
He had wanted to call off the eting without a care but, thinking about all the issues that needed to be addressed, he furrowed his brows.
The strong arm that had been wrapped around Joanna’s waist slowly loosened.
