Chapter 17: Let's go, I'll meet my brother-in-law.

The driver had already changed his address to her, no longer referring to her as Ms. Joanna.

"Are you going to the hospital to see your brother?" Ashton Heath's cold gaze fell on her face.

"Yes." Joanna Lawrence nodded.

Ashton Heath then said, "Let's go to the hospital first."

Joanna hesitated and quickly said, "I'll just take a cab by myself."

She knew he was very busy.

When they left Heath Group just now, there was a huge stack of documents piled up on his desk.

Although the two were now husband and wife, they were not together because they loved each other.

Joanna didn't really see him as a real husband, so she didn't want to bother him too much.

Ashton Heath ignored her and directly said to the driver, "To the hospital."

With his insistence, Joanna couldn't refuse anymore.

She was silent for a few seconds, pursed her lips, and then whispered, "Thank you."

As soon as the words fell, Ashton Heath's deep, black eyes enveloped her, his eyebrows knitted as if he wasn't very happy, "Do you need to be so polite with your own husband? Joanna Lawrence, I don't care if you're not used to our relationship yet, but from now on, I don't want to hear these two words from you."

When he said this, the air pressure around him was very low.

The space in the car seemed to become cramped.

Joanna felt a bit suffocated under the strong aura.

She swallowed her saliva and unconsciously shrank back, replying in a low voice, "Got it."

It seemed that she suddenly realized that her rich and handsome husband had a bad temper.

Indeed, nobody's perfect.

*

They arrived at the hospital.

The driver got out of the car, opened the back seat door and stood respectfully to the side.

Joanna thought Ashton was only dropping her off.

She grabbed her bag, got out of the car, and waved to the man inside the car, "Well, I'm leaving. You, you, be careful on the road."

Right now, she really wasn't used to their relationship.

Just a moment ago, they were strangers who didn't know each other.

Now, this man had become her husband.

She spoke and then turned to leave.

But she heard a cold magnetic voice behind her, "What's the hurry, who told you I'm going back to the company?"

"?"

Joanna turned around.

Ashton Heath also got out of the car, and he was walking towards her while fixing the buttons on his cufflinks.

"You..." She was stunned.

Ashton Heath walked to her side.

With an outstretched long arm, he embraced her into his arms.

Surrounded by the warm and seductive scent of the man and his scorching hand holding her waist, Joanna's face instantly turned red.

Just as she was about to push him away, she heard him say coldly, "Joanna Lawrence, when you married me, I didn't mean for us to be fake husband and wife. Now that we're married, I should meet your family members."

Joanna's body stiffened for a moment.

Of course, she knew that.

Before they went to register for marriage, he had said that he wanted to be a real husband and wife with her.

So any physical contact was normal.

She...shouldn't push him away.

She remained stiff in his embrace for a few seconds without struggling.

Finally, Ashton was satisfied and smirked. The hand around her waist tightened slightly, "Let's go, I'll meet my brother-in-law."

Hearing him use the term "brother-in-law," Joanna stiffened again.

He held her as they walked into the hospital entrance.

Wait, I have something to say,"

Joanna tugged on his sleeve and stopped.

Ashton Heath stopped as well.
