Aria Rowlett clamored that they should celebrate a bit.
The two agreed to go to a karaoke bar that evening to sing.
However, just when they had made the arrangement, Ashton Heath sent a message.
It took Joanna Lawrence a few seconds to reply to him: Aria and I are going out for dinner tonight, and then we're going to the karaoke bar to have fun. Would you like to join us?
After sending the message, she waited several minutes but received no response from Ashton Heath.
Joanna Lawrence couldn't help but send him another message: Are you upset? But Aria and I already made plans, and it wouldn't be right for me to change the time now. How about I have lunch with you tomorrow? Or maybe, tonight, I could have a late-night snack with you?
After waiting for a few more minutes, Ashton Heath still didn't reply to her.
Joanna Lawrence: "..."
She was now sure that Ashton Heath was genuinely upset.
Usually, when she sent him a message, he would always reply instantly.
