82: Chapter 83: I’m downstairs at your dormitory, come down.

Who would have thought, Ashton Heath would actually bankrupt the Du family company!

Talking about bankrupting a company like that, didn’t he act way too much like an overbearing CEO?

After a while, Ashton Heath sent her a text message: Not in class right now?

Joanna Lawrence came out of her daze and replied: Yeah, I finished my classes this morning.

I have two more classes in the afternoon.

Ashton Heath: Get down here.

Joanna Lawrence stared at the text message he sent, and after being dumbfounded for two seconds, she replied confusedly: Get down?

What do you mean?

Just after she sent the text message, Ashton Heath called her.

After she picked up the call, the man’s deep magnetic voice entered her ears: “I’m downstairs at your dormitory.

Come down.”

Joanna Lawrence: “!!!”

She was simply shocked.

Ashton Heath came to their school again?

And now, he is right below the girls’ dorm?

Joanna Lawrence opened the door and stepped out of her room, seeing a crowd of people gathering in the corridor, and they all looked with excitement and anticipation at the downstairs.

“Wow, there’s a very handsome man standing downstairs!”

“Isn’t that the handsome guy who took Joanna Lawrence away yesterday?

He came back again.”

“Joanna is so lucky, she just broke up with David Benington and found another tall, rich, and handsome boyfriend.”

“Hmph, we don’t even know if he’s her boyfriend.

Maybe he’s just the man who financially supports her.”

“What?

Do such handsome men need to financially support women?

Even if it’s true, don’t you want to be supported by a man like this?

I know I do.

I’d be willing to be with him even if he doesn’t give me money.”

Listening to the gossip, Joanna Lawrence’s lips twitched, and she peeked down the stairs.

With just a glance, she saw the tall and handsome man standing under the tree.

The sunlight passed through the gaps in the tree leaves and shone down on his handsome, three-dimensional face, like a faint golden halo on his deep facial features.

He was dressed in tailored black suit that fit him perfectly, accentuating his ideal body proportions.

The long legs wrapped in suit pants were incredibly eye-catching.

Moreover, his cold and ascetic aura made him look even more alluring.

Every girl who passed by him blushed.

A few girls wanted to approach and chat him up, but after taking only two steps towards him, they were repelled by his cold and aloof gaze.

It’s as if his body was covered with a “Keep Away From Strangers” sign.

Joanna Lawrence deeply felt again that Ashton Heath’s androphobia truly existed.

Except for her, he was really repulsive and cold to other women.

He truly loathed it when women tried to approach him.

Seemingly sensing her gaze, Ashton Heath suddenly looked up.

His eyes met hers squarely.

At the moment when he saw her, the coldness and alienation in his eyes disappeared, and the coldness and annoyance in his eyes vanished instantly.

In those originally cold and indifferent dark eyes, a faint warmth spilled out.

At this moment, Joanna Lawrence’s heart thumped heavily.

*

Joanna Lawrence jogged downstairs.

As soon as she reached Ashton Heath, the man spread his arms and pulled her into his embrace, hugging her tightly.

He held her very, very tightly.

As if he wanted to embed her into his body, he buried his head in her hair, took a deep breath, and said hoarsely, “Joanna, have you missed me?”

When Ashton Heath hugged her, Joanna Lawrence felt that his body was very stiff and cold.
