Joanna Lawrence's face turned red in an instant, and after steadying herself, she hastily pushed him away.
He actually found out...
How embarrassing!
Biting the corner of her lips, her heart was in such a panic that she didn't dare to look at him. Blushing, she said, "Just now... thank you."
"Thank you?"
Ashton Heath stopped in his tracks.
The man turned around, his tall and straight figure casting a large shadow that completely enveloped the petite figure in front of him.
His eyes were slightly downcast, and his attractive eyebrows were knit together. "Do you like saying thank you to me that much? In your eyes, am I still just an outsider?"
Joanna blinked, "I... "
After saying just one word, the man reached out and pulled her into his arms again.
That strong arm forcefully circled around her waist.
The other hand pinched her delicate jaw, lifting it slightly, forcing her to look him in the eye.
