Chapter 573: Don't Leave, Stay With Me

The man stood silently behind her, his eyes watching her with a familiar fiery passion smoldering within.

She flinched and then acted as though she saw nothing, quickly finished applying her skincare products, then rose to walk towards the bed.

Behind her, the man followed, silent as ever, to the bedside.

Joanna Lawrence: "..."

"Ashton Heath, why are you still in the bedroom? Aren't you going to your study?" Joanna feigned ignorance, finding Ashton's antics amusing and a little cute.

Though he was cute, the thought of his relentless advances this morning made her knees quake involuntarily.

She felt a pang in her thigh again.

She couldn't afford to soften towards this man.

Otherwise, she was sure she wouldn't be able to get out of bed tomorrow.

The man's eyes were filled with a thick, unquenchable desire.

Joanna barely glanced at him before looking away, she picked up her phone from the bedside table, opened her mail, and began downloading the TV series script.
