Chapter 1142: Changing to Her Doing Something for Him

He claimed to be unaffected.

But Joanna Lawrence was no fool. How could she not sense that he actually did care?

On the contrary, he cared very much.

That angry, cathartic kiss was a reflection of his emotions at this very moment.

Joanna knew how petty and jealous Ashton Heath could be in love.

Because of her understanding, she knew that he would definitely mind her scandals with Maddox Allenson and Frank Parker, and those rumors would make him feel uncomfortable.

His current show of indifference was not real indifference either.

He was just caring about her.

Since he cared about her, he swallowed his true feelings despite minding them deeply.
