<h4>Chapter 223: Chapter 225: Until You Fall in Love with Me</h4>


    He wanted a woman to fall in love with him, and so he honestly told her his thoughts and methods in front of her.


    What kind of move was that?


    And... did he mean he was pursuing her?


    Joanna Lawrence thought about this and asked directly, "Ashton Heath, are you... pursuing me?"


    "Yes." The man nodded straightforwardly.


    Joanna Lawrence: "..."


    "Baby, I’m pursuing you, so I hope you can give me a chance. I also hope that one day, the only reason you’re with me is because you love me."


    Joanna looked at him nkly, "What kind of chance do you want me to give you?"


    The man looked down at her.


    The affectionateughter in his deep, enchanting eyes was dizzying, "Give me a chance to understand you and be good to you. You also try to slowly ept me, understand me, and gradually try to treat me as your real husband, okay?"


    Facing such gentle conquest, Joanna Lawrence couldn’t resist.


    Her heart was pounding like a drum, her heart racing non-stop.


    As if the next second, her heart would burst out of her chest.


    This feeling of not being able to control her heart made her feel a little scared and flustered, and a little confused...


    What did he really want after all?


    He had said before that he needed a wife, so they got married.


    But now, he said he also wanted to win her heart.


    They were already husband and wife, did he still care if she had him in her heart or not?


    "Baby?"


    Her silencested too long, and he gently rubbed her jaw, his voice getting lower and softer, "Have you thought it over?"


    Joanna Lawrence was silent for a while longer, then asked very softly, "What if... I don’t want to?"


    She had thought he might get angry.


    Unexpectedly, the man hooked his lips andughed, "I will still continue to pursue you, to be good to you, until you fall in love with me."


    Joanna Lawrence: "..."


    Then why did he bother asking her opinion!


    What a domineering man!


    Her beautiful eyes stared roundly at him, even puffing up her cheeks when she was angry.


    This appearance was not fierce at all, but to Ashton Heath, it was nothing more than an adorably angry little kitten.


    Very cute.


    So cute that it made him want to torment her again.


    But remembering that she was in a special period right now, those ideas that had just sprung to his mind quickly vanished.


    "Baby, don’t be angry. Getting angry during your period is bad for your body; be careful, your stomach might get ufortable again." The man’s warm hand fell on her lower abdomen, gently rubbing, "Isn’t it a good thing to have someone be good to you? Or would you rather your husband didn’t treat you well?"


    Initially, Joanna hadn’t felt any difort in her stomach.


    But after his reminder, she suddenly experienced an acid-bloating pain.


    Her brows furrowed, she bit her lip, and red at him discontentedly, "It’s all your fault, my stomach is ufortable again."


    Ashton Heath was startled, "Is it really ufortable?"


    Just as Joanna was about to speak, the acid pain surged again, and her brows furrowed even tighter.


    Even herplexion turned two shades paler.


    Ashton Heath immediately picked her up and carried her to the bed, gentlyying her down.


    "Does it hurt a lot?"


    The tall, upright figure squatted by the bed, his hand gently massaging her lower abdomen.


    This method was also one he had found on
