<h4>Chapter 2342: Chapter 2334: He’s Not That Great</h4>


    But he still minded other men coveting her, like how he minded David Benington and Frank Parker. When he saw them appear together with her on gossip headlines, he felt particrly furious.


    He thought, maybe she did like him.


    It’s just that her affection wasn’t that strong yet.


    In this rtionship, he was always the one who gave more.


    Someday, when she would also feel jealous and make a fuss over him, that would mean her feelings for him had deepened.


    "Ashton Heath, what’s wrong? Are you unhappy?" Although Joanna Lawrence could be slow on certain things, she was very sensitive when it came to sensing Ashton’s emotions. It didn’t take her long to notice that his mood seemed to have be a bit low.


    "It’s nothing," Ashton responded, shaking his head and looking at her with doting eyes. "I’m not unhappy."


    "You’re lying. I can clearly see that you are unhappy." Joanna blinked and reached out to touch his face. "Tell me, why are you unhappy? Did I say something wrong?"


    "No, it has nothing to do with you."


    It’s just that he couldn’t let go of his thoughts.


    He had been thinking that since they were already married, he could slowly cultivate their feelings together.


    So even if she didn’t like him as much now, it didn’t matter.


    They still had a long life ahead of them and plenty of time to develop their feelings.


    As long as he kept treating her well, spoiling her, one day she would care about him as much as he cared about her.


    He shouldn’t be so impatient.


    However, despite thinking this, sometimes he couldn’t help but feel dejected.


    No one doesn’t want their efforts to be reciprocated.


    He wasn’t that great.


    He had given so much love, and even if he didn’t expect her to return it equally, he at least hoped she could give back a little.


    Joanna furrowed her brow.


    "Alright, baby, I’m really not angry." Ashton curved his lips and, pinching her chin, gently kissed her lips. "Stop overthinking. If you think I went a bit overboard just now, I’ll be more careful in the future. Are you satisfied now?"


    With his gentle voice and loving eyes, which seemed like a deep pool one could easily get lost in, Joanna had no resistance to his cajoling.


    Even though she still felt he was somewhat excessive earlier, she couldn’t scold him anymore and nodded softly, "Okay."


    On the other side.


    Yannick Luther watched his younger cousin leave, covering her mouth and crying, but he didn’t go after her.


    With a furrowed brow and thoughtful eyes, he seemed to be concentrating on something.


    He analyzed Wendy Arden’s reactions after seeing Ashton, and then he discovered something quite shocking.


    Could it be possible that little Wendy had fallen for Ashton?!


    Initially, he had assumed it was just a girl’s innocent infatuation with a good-looking man.


    But now that he thought about it more, things didn’t seem right.


    Having finally realized the situation, Yannick felt a bit uneasy.


    He nced at Ashton.


    So, was Ashton’s uncharacteristic coldness and distance towards Wendy his realization of something?


    The more Yannick thought about it, the more he believed this to be true.


    He was speechless.


    How could little Wendy have fallen for Ashton?


    There was a whole ten-year age gap between them.


    That’s a two-generation gap.
