He lowered his head, furrowing his eyebrows as he looked at her: "What else do you want?"
She bit the corner of her lips, momentarily silent, as if deep in thought. After a moment, she spoke in a negotiating tone: "Can we keep our marriage secret for now?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the pressure around the man drop once again.
Joanna Lawrence swallowed, not daring to look up at him.
"Jeremy doesn't know yet that I broke up with my ex-boyfriend. If I suddenly tell him I'm married to you, he'll be shocked."
That was only part of her concern.
On the other hand, Joanna felt that her marriage to Ashton Heath wouldn't last long.
Perhaps it was just a whimsical decision on his part. Maybe, after a while, if he finds it meaningless, he'll divorce her.
If it were anyone else, she wouldn't care whether or not people knew she was married.
But Jeremy Lawrence...
He was the one she cared about the most.
Young girls can't hide their feelings.
