<h4>Chapter 1714: Chapter 1708: It turns out I was right?</h4>


    Joanna Lawrence knew very well that Ashton Heath preferred a gentle approach, so she had already prepared a series of soft and sweet moves.


    Dinner was served on the table.


    Joanna immediately ced a shrimp and a piece of fish into Ashton Heath’s bowl.


    She put down her fork, propped up her chin with both hands, her eyes shining with anticipation as she looked at him and said, "Honey, have a taste and tell me what you think."


    "What do you think? Is it delicious?" Joanna asked, her eyes sparkling brightly with anticipation.


    She rarely cooked for Ashton Heath.


    This seemed to be the first time.


    Moreover, she hadn’t cooked in a long time, so she wasn’t very confident in her culinary skills.


    Although she had already tasted the dishes and thought they were not bad,


    Ashton Heath’s taste buds had grown up on exquisite meals prepared by top chefs, and he would undoubtedly be very picky.


    He probably wouldn’t even be interested in ordinary homemade dishes.


    "Mmm, it’s delicious." Ashton Heath graciously ate another shrimp and then gave the highest praise of his life, "Out of all the dishes I’ve ever tasted, this is the best. Honey, you worked so hard. Thank you for making such a delicious dinner for me."


    Joanna: "!!!"


    He was being too gracious.


    Even though Joanna knew those sweet words were just meant to please her, her heart still felt warm and happy.


    She put some more shrimp into his bowl, leaning on her chin and smiling brightly, "Then you should eat more. If you like it, I’ll cook it for you more often."


    Ashton Heath smiled, his eyes filled with warmth, and he also added food to her bowl, "That’s not happening. My wife’s face and hands shouldn’t be touched by the mundane world too much. You’ve worked hard today, make sure you eat more as well."


    Joanna was no stranger to sweet talk either.


    She fluttered her eyes, gazing at the man beside her with a soft, sweet voice, "What makes you happy is more important than anything. My husband is so wonderful that it’s worth doing anything for you. Besides, I’m also happy to do things for you."


    Ashton Heath pinched his fork, his dark eyes narrowed, and a knowing smile appeared.


    He lightly hooked his thin lips, pinched her grinning face, and asked with a touch of amusement, "Baby, if you have something to say, just tell me directly. There’s no need for all this buildup."


    Joanna blinked, her eyes widened.


    Was she being that obvious? She hadn’t even said anything yet, and he had already figured it out.


    She was a bit puzzled, "How do you know I have something to talk to you about?"


    Ashton Heath’s smile deepened, "Your behavior is so obvious, how could I not know?"


    "How is it obvious?" This question only puzzled Joanna more.


    "You’re usually not this enthusiastic with me." Ashton Heath looked at her bewildered expression and couldn’t help but pinch her nose again, "Only when you need something from me will you be like this."


    "Does this prove that I guessed right?"


    Joanna: "..."


    Alright, she felt like she was just acting normally.


    It seemed that she was indeed not enthusiastic enough with Ashton Heath on a daily basis.


    In fact, the moment she took the initiative to address him as her husband, Ashton Heath knew she must have something to talk about.


    Moreover, cooking dinner willingly tonight.


    Her intentions were too obvious...


    "Okay." Joanna sighed with some frustration, "Since you’ve guessed it, I won’t beat around the bush anymore. I do have something to discuss with you."
