Chapter 592: He's afraid of being disliked.

Joanna Lawrence heard the door opening and she guessed the time, whispering, "Are you done with the meeting?"

"Yeah."

On the other side, Ashton Heath opened the office door, but didn't see his little wife nestled on the sofa waiting for him as he had expected. He felt a bit dissatisfied and his tone was somewhat resentful, "You're not in the office? Where did you go? Didn't you promise to wait for me in the office?"

"I just went to the mall to buy something." Joanna heard the dissatisfaction in the man's tone and immediately tried to placate him. "I bought you a gift, wait a few more minutes, and I'll be right back."

"You bought me a gift?" Ashton Heath's voice raised slightly, with a hint of delight in his tone.

Joanna knew that he was appeased.

She pursed her lips, holding back the urge to laugh. After a light cough to clear her throat, she said with a smile, "Yes. But I don't know if you will like it…"

"I like it."
