923: Chapter 922: You promised , you won’t be angry 923: Chapter 922: You promised , you won’t be angry Ashton Heath raised an eyebrow, “Feeling?”
“Mhm,” Joanna Lawrence nodded, “Feeling.
Anyway, I’m sure he has no other intentions towards .
It’s a feeling you wouldn’t understand, I trust my judgnt.”
Ashton Heath: “…”
“Oh, right.” Speaking of Gary White, Joanna suddenly rembered his birthday party and hesitated for a mont before cautiously saying, “In a few days, it’s Mr.
White’s birthday.
He invited to his birthday party.”
“You’ll be there that night too, right?”
Ashton Heath nodded, “Mhm, he invited too.”
Gary White never used to have birthday parties.
This year was his thirtieth birthday, so the occasion was sowhat different.
So the White family proposed to hold a grand birthday party for him.
Everyone with a bit of reputation in Closia was invited.
People like Ashton Heath, who had connections with him, were of course on the guest list.
Joanna hesitated for a few seconds and whispered, “Can I ask you sothing?
But first, you have to promise that you won’t be mad at .”
Ashton Heath: “…Fine.”
After considering her words carefully, Joanna looked at him and slowly began, “That night, I may not be able to attend the party with you.
We might have to pretend not to know each other.
You know that my contract says I can’t be in a public relationship right now, so…”
Before she finished, she could already feel the man’s mood sinking.
She looked at him with a pitiful expression, her voice soft, “You promised , you won’t be angry…”
Ashton Heath: “…”
Indeed, he had promised her, and he could understand her as well.
But he felt very stifled.
Extrely stifled.
She was his wife, and yet at the party, they would have to pretend not to know each other.
This made him feel like her secret lover,
Unable to see the light of day.
“I’m sorry,” Joanna knew her request was a bit excessive, “It’s the company’s requirent.
I have no choice.”
“Husband, I can only inconvenience you.”
“I know you’re the best and won’t be angry with .
You can definitely understand , right?”
Joanna knew what kind of behavior Ashton Heath liked most from her.
And she knew what words he liked to hear the most.
After she hugged him and acted cute, she saw his face relax a bit.
Compared to before, he was obviously not as angry.
Seeing that her tactic worked, Joanna quickly continued to act cute, “Husband, don’t be angry anymore.
It’s not like I will never go public with our relationship.
It’s just that the circumstances are special right now.
Can you cooperate with , please?”
“You’re the best, the best in the whole world.
You’re the best husband.”
Ashton Heath pursed his lips.
Although he still looked unmoved, a faint smile surfaced in his eyes.
Joanna persisted by hugging his arm and calling him husband a couple more tis.
A mont later, she heard the man beside her sigh helplessly.
But his tone was very affectionate, “Alright, stop buttering up.
I promise.”

With Joanna’s help, it took almost an hour to prepare the al.
Ashton Heath really didn’t know how to cook.
He truly had no talent in this area.
The two pieces of steak were almost burnt to a crisp.
In the end, with Joanna’s desperate rescue, the steaks were barely edible, but their appearance left much to be desired.
