Chapter 997: Is This the Rhythm of Stirring Things Up?

As for Joanna Lawrence, it didn't really bother her.

She wouldn't get angry anyway.

No matter what Lady Octavia said to Ashton Heath, she would find out eventually.

And not being with Lady Octavia and Rebecca Kelloway was a relief for her.

"Joanna, are you..." Ashton furrowed his eyebrows, thinking she was angry.

"I'm just going out for a walk, I'll be back soon." Joanna knew what he was thinking and didn't care how Lady Octavia and Rebecca would see her. After hesitating for a few seconds, she tiptoed up and gently kissed Ashton's handsome face.

That should stop him from having any wild thoughts, right?

Indeed, her kiss worked wonders.

The man's expression relaxed, and he looked down at her for a few seconds to make sure she wasn't really angry before he sighed and patted her head, "Alright, go and enjoy your walk. Do you have enough money on you, or do you need me to..."

"No, no, I have enough money with me. When I don't have enough, I'll ask you for it."
