My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1963 - 1957: I Made a Huge Mistake
Even if Joanna Lawrence didn’t understand Frank Parker well, she still felt that he couldn’t be that kind of person.
Whether it was Ashton Heath, Frank Parker, or Yannick Luther...
None of them paid much attention to a woman’s family background.
Joanna hadn’t recovered from the shock when she heard Frank’s voice again, "Ashton, ten years ago I fell into the swimming pool and was saved by Rebecca Kelloway. You all know about that, right?"
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
"Actually, I never liked Rebecca. Should I say, I never liked her at all. But that night, when I was in despair and saw her desperately swimming towards me, my heart stirred."
"I always remember that feeling of being moved. And because of that, I mistook it for love."
"Even when I later found out that I didn’t have any romantic feelings for her, I hypnotized myself again and again, telling myself that I liked her. Because if I didn’t like her, why would I be moved by her that night?"
"But later, I realized that I was wrong. I made a huge mistake."
"That night, I actually mistook my lifesaver. And I mistook her for a whole ten years. Ashton, the person who moved me that night wasn’t Rebecca, but Joanna Lawrence."
"The one who saved me that night was Joanna. It was Rebecca who lied to me, she deceived me for ten years."
"I didn’t start having thoughts about Joanna just now. It was that night ten years ago that I was moved by her."
With a "bang," the door was pushed open, and Joanna, standing outside with an astonished look, stared into the office.
The two men in the room were also surprised to see her.
"Joanna, when did you get here?" A few seconds later, Ashton Heath walked over to Joanna, took one of her hands, and led her into the office.
When Frank saw Joanna, his face changed slightly.
But soon, he returned to normal.
Only when his gaze fell on their hands tightly clasped together, his eyes dimmed a bit.
Joanna silently let Ashton guide her to sit down on the sofa.
Ashton sat down beside her, stroked her head, and doted, "How long have you been here? Why didn’t you say anything when you were outside? Weren’t you supposed to have dinner at Brandon’s tonight?"
Joanna looked up at him, then glanced at Frank standing to one side. After a moment of silence, she whispered, "I just arrived. I thought you were talking business in the office, so I didn’t want to disturb you."
"Wait for a moment, and I will be done here." Ashton pinched her chin and gently kissed her lips.
Joanna felt a strong gaze on her.
She thought about the presence of others in the office and originally wanted to push Ashton away, but remembering what she had just heard, she withdrew her hand instead.
Ashton, on the other hand, acted as if no one else was there as he pinched her chin and kissed her for a while.
After a while, he seemed to remember that there were other people in the office and let go of Joanna.
He looked up and saw Frank standing there with a gloomy face and smirked, "If you have nothing else, you can leave now."
Frank pursed his lips and stood there without moving.
Ashton laughed again, his eyes cold, "What, do you have anything else? Wasn’t what I said just now clear enough?"
