Chapter 993: No One Can Bully You

The man's deep eyes darkened, and his voice lowered: "Say it again."

Joanna blinked, feigning ignorance: "Say what again?"

She was being so proactive this time because of his excellent performance earlier.

Ashton Heath wrapped his arm around her waist, tightened his grip, and pinched her slender waist. His gaze was focused and full of affection, while his tone was somewhat overbearing yet irresistibly gentle: "Call me husband."

Joanna blinked again, her lips curling up sweetly: "Didn't I just say it?"

"Mhm. I didn't get enough. Say it again."

Considering the way the man had defended her in front of Lady Octavia earlier, Joanna felt warmth in her heart. She looked at him tenderly and called out softly yet again: "Husband."

Ashton's Adam's apple bobbed twice.

He lowered his head, his eyes blazing.

Joanna was all too familiar with this look.

She was afraid that the man might act impulsively and do something irrational.

Lady Octavia and Rebecca Kelloway were still outside.
