My Secret Billionaire Husband

Chapter 2933 - 2452: Regretted Telling the Truth to Ashton Heath

So when Lady Parker made this request, Joanna Lawrence didn’t refuse, but she didn’t agree either.

*

When Joanna arrived at the Heath Group office, Ashton Heath was in a meeting.

After playing two games on her phone, just as she was about to start the third one, Ashton finished his meeting and returned to his office.

"Today I made you mung bean-filled pastries and red bean-filled pastries. I know you don’t like sweets much, so I only added a bit of sugar. I also cooked the remaining mung beans and red beans into a soup, ice-chilled for you. I left everything on your office desk, so try it and let me know what you think."

Joanna exited the game and got up, walking towards Ashton.

The tall man stretched out his arm, pulling her into his embrace and leading her to his desk: "How long have you been here?"

"Not too long, maybe half an hour."

"I heard that you got a phone call on the way and met with someone." Ashton, hugging Joanna and sitting down with her, put his arm around her slender waist casually, asking.

Joanna knew that the driver would definitely tell Ashton about this, so she didn’t hide it, nodding, "Yeah, I met with Lady Parker."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the man’s arm wrapped around her waist tighten, and she looked down to find Ashton’s deep black eyes fixed on her.

He didn’t speak, but his gaze made Joanna feel a bit uneasy.

"Don’t look at me like that." Joanna reached up to cover his eyes, "Your gaze makes it seem like I did something I shouldn’t have. Can’t I meet with Lady Parker?"

"Of course, you can. I didn’t mean to accuse you of anything." Ashton grabbed her mischievous little hand, squeezing her soft palm gently, "So, what did she say to you after meeting?"

Joanna fell silent.

She felt that meeting with Lady Parker was not a big deal.

Ashton also wouldn’t be angry or jealous because of this.

But he would probably care about what came next.

Every time it involved Frank Parker, he never didn’t care.

"Hmm? What did she say? Why don’t you speak?" Ashton pinched her waist gently and hooked his lips, "Don’t tell me she chatted with you about ordinary things. Let me guess, she looked for you because of Frank Parker?"

"Yes, you guessed right." Joanna glanced at him and saw his expression was still normal before continuing, "She told me that she had a disagreement with Frank Parker. Frank wants to break ties with the Parker family, and he hasn’t returned home for a long time."

"So, she asked you to convince Frank to come back home?" Ashton sneered as he said this.

Joanna: "..."

She knew it!

That’s why she didn’t want to say it.

She glanced at his face once more and saw dissatisfaction written all over his handsome features. It wasn’t just a little unhappy - he looked quite upset.

Under pressure, she nodded, "Yes, that’s it."

Cold eyes suddenly fell on her, accompanied by the man’s similarly chilling voice, "And did you convince him?"

Joanna had no choice but to tell the truth, reluctantly nodding her head.

The moment she nodded, it felt like the surrounding temperature dropped by at least ten degrees. Someone suddenly transformed into a super air conditioner, blasting cold air at her.

"Did he listen to you?" When the word "he" came out of Ashton’s mouth, it was filled with a particularly chilling tone.

Joanna: "..."

She was beginning to regret telling Ashton the truth.
