990: Chapter 988: I Don’t Want to Argue with You 990: Chapter 988: I Don’t Want to Argue with You He was sowhat worried.
After all, President Ashton was quite energetic, and it was not impossible.
If Lady Octavia ever found out that he had lied, he would be dood.
Even though he believed that President Ashton could protect him, angering his wife made him uneasy.
He was not ntally strong enough to act as if nothing had happened.
Arriving at the office door, Cody Aberton knocked apprehensively, “President Ashton, Ms.
Joanna’s clothes have been purchased.
Should I bring them in now, or…”
Implying that if it’s inconvenient, he would co back later.
“Co in.” Fortunately, Ashton Heath quickly responded, and judging from his tone, he didn’t sound like he was still in the middle of sothing.
Cody couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
He pushed the door open.
Entering the office and seeing Ashton neatly dressed, reading docunts at his black desk, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Even his footsteps felt lighter.
He swiftly approached Ashton, lowered his voice and said, “President Ashton, Lady Octavia and Ms.
Kelloway have arrived.”
As he was going through the docunts, Ashton’s brow furrowed.
Looking up, he saw Lady Octavia and Rebecca Kelloway walk in, hand in hand.
Upon entering the office, Rebecca imdiately searched for Joanna.
After scanning the room and not finding her, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows.
Didn’t Cody say Joanna was also here?
Why is she nowhere to be found now?
Did Cody warn her in advance, so she hid?
If she were simply in Ashton’s office, there would be no need to hide.
Unless…
Rebecca clenched her fists, her face turned even paler.
That shaless Joanna.
In broad daylight, she couldn’t contain herself, even in a place like an office…
She must have seduced Ashton with these siren-like tactics.
Shaless, absolutely shaless.
“Ashton, what’s with that expression?
Don’t tell , you no longer want to see now?
After a while, do you plan to sever our mother-son relationship?” Lady Octavia hadn’t had any contact with Ashton since he blocked her number last ti.
Seeing Ashton’s solemn face, her pent-up anger suddenly erupted.
Her obedient son had always been respectful to her since childhood, but now he was indifferent and disrespectful towards her.
How could she accept this?
Ashton, with a stern face, glanced at Rebecca standing next to Lady Octavia, took a deep breath and said, “Mom, why are you here?
I wish you’d told beforehand.”
Lady Octavia snorted coldly and retorted, “Oh, so this place is so sort of military base, and I can’t co?
Why should I tell you in advance?
So, you can avoid ?”
“You know that’s not what I ant.” Ashton rubbed his temples, suffering from a headache, “Mom, can we have a proper conversation?
I don’t want to argue with you.”
“So, you think I ca here to argue with you?” Lady Octavia felt even angrier thinking about the previous blocking of her phone number.
Ashton: “…”
His headache grew worse.
He looked at Lady Octavia helplessly, “I never said that, don’t twist my words.
Cody, could you make Lady Octavia a cup of coffee?”
“Yes, President Ashton.”
After leaving the clothes on the desk, Cody turned around and left the room.
Lady Octavia glanced around the office and couldn’t help asking, “Wasn’t there another person here?
Why can’t I see her?”
