78: Chapter 78: Hmm, don’t overthink 78: Chapter 78: Hmm, don’t overthink “Wait.” Ashton Heath reached out and held her shoulder, his lips moving as if he wanted to say sothing.
Joanna Lawrence blinked, “Is there anything else?”
His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
After a while, he said, “I can explain the matter that Denver Lancaster just ntioned.”
Joanna Lawrence had a confused face: “??”
She was stunned, “Explain… What?”
Ashton Heath’s deep and enchanting dark eyes stared at her for a while, and he said seriously, “The Miss Rebecca that Denver ntioned is nad Rebecca Kelloway.
She is the daughter of the Kelloway Group, and indeed, we grew up together.
Sir Kelloway and my grandfather have long been family friends, so our families have always been on good terms.
Before, there did exist the intention of a marriage alliance between our two families, but neither Rebecca nor I had any interest in that, so the matter was dropped.”
“Joanna, Rebecca is two years younger than , and in my heart, she is no different from a sister.”
“So, you don’t have to worry about her presence.”
Joanna Lawrence: “…”
She…
is not worried.
It seed that she had never said she was worried.
Why did both he and Denver think that she would misunderstand sothing?
She really did not misunderstand or overthink it!
Moreover, even if he really had sothing with Miss Rebecca, she would not mind it.
Their marriage was nothing more than a mutually beneficial agreent, without any elent of love.
She needed him to perform surgery on Jeremy Lawrence, and he chose her because she was the only woman he would not reject.
If it weren’t for her unique traits, he would never have chosen to marry a woman like her.
Joanna Lawrence was very self-aware and knew her place, so she would not get jealous for no reason.
However, seeing how seriously Ashton Heath was explaining, she still responded, “Hmm, I understand.
Don’t worry, I won’t mind her.”
Ashton Heath looked at her for a mont, “You really don’t mind?”
“Really!” She nodded vigorously, “Didn’t you just say it, you consider her as a sister.
I believe you.”
“Okay, don’t overthink things.” Ashton Heath reached out to touch her head and said with a smile, “Alright, let’s go.
I’ll take you back to school.”

anwhile, on the other side.
After Aria Rowlett sent a text ssage to David Benington, he decided to find Joanna Lawrence imdiately upon receiving it.
Annie Lawrence was with him.
They were in a jewelry store, picking out jewelry.
“David, does this necklace look good on ?” Annie Lawrence was trying on a pink diamond necklace, and she looked at David with a charming smile.
David glanced at her, his mind evidently elsewhere.
He hesitated for two seconds, then took out a prestige card from his bag and handed it to Annie Lawrence, softly saying, “Baby, I have sothing urgent to deal with and can’t accompany you any longer.
Feel free to buy anything you like, and I’ll co to you after I’m done, okay?”
Upon hearing that he was about to leave, Annie Lawrence complained, “What’s the matter?
You said you would be with today.”
Before David could say anything, Annie Lawrence glanced at the phone in his hand and asked suspiciously, “David, who did you just chat with?”
“I…” David looked at her, hesitated for a mont, and then told the truth, “Annie, a girl from Joanna’s dormitory just texted , saying that Joanna is in trouble and asked to go there imdiately.”
“She seed quite anxious, and I’m worried that Joanna might get hurt.”
