My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1749 - 1743: Do You Really Remember Nothing?

We strolled leisurely, chatting about small incidents occurring in our daily lives. Those moments were pleasant and beautiful."

"Just like what we’re doing now."

"Baby, I once believed that such scenes could only exist in my fantasies and would never become reality," Ashton Heath’s eyes lingered with a gentle ripple. He caressed Joanna Lawrence’s chin, lips gently brushing hers, "until I met you."

"So, I’m extremely grateful to God, He arranged for you to come into my life, fulfilling all my dreams."

Joanna stared at him in a daze, her eyes suddenly turning moist, "Ashton Heath, I too, am tremendously grateful to God. Would you believe me if I said that I once fantasized about the same scenes, too?"

"I believe."

Ashton Heath took one of her hands and gently kissed the back of her hand, "So, we were destined to be together. God had it all planned out. You were, after all, destined to be my wife, Ashton Heath’s wife."

The couple wandered by the river for a bit.

The evening breeze was mild, and the place they strolled wasn’t crowded. The surroundings were serene.

They both thoroughly enjoyed this peaceful and beautiful moment. After strolling for a while, Joanna lightly tugged at Ashton’s arm.

The man beside her immediately halted, looking down at her.

"Ashton Heath, I’m tired. Carry me." Joanna intimately requested.

Without uttering a word, Ashton Heath squatted in front of her.

Joanna positioned herself onto his back, and he steadied her as he slowly stood up.

As Joanna hooked her arms around his neck, she caught a mild yet pleasant scent of his shampoo. "Ashton Heath, do you remember when I was filming in Frankfurt, we had also taken a stroll by the river. I had also gotten tired then, and you had carried me."

"Hmm, I remember." Ashton Heath began walking with her on his back. "Every moment spent with you, I remember."

A sweet smile curled up at the corners of Joanna’s lips. "Really?"

"Hmm."

"Then I’ll test you."

"Okay. How do you want to test me?"

"Do you still remember the first time we met?"

Ashton Heath paused, halting his steps as well.

About a minute later, Joanna finally heard his response. "Hmm, I remember. Joanna, would you mind if someone deceived you?"

"Somebody deceived me?" He was suddenly asking such a question that Joanna was taken aback for several seconds before replying, "Well, that depends on who that person is. If it’s someone I don’t care about, I won’t be too upset. But if it’s someone I care about deeply, I guess I would."

"Why are you suddenly asking me this?" The corners of her mouth twitched into a playful smile. "Don’t tell me there’s something you’re hiding from me?"

She was only joking around.

But she could feel him tense up.

After a while, she heard Ashton Heath mutter, "When do you think was the first time you saw me?"

"Hmm?" Joanna blinked, finding his question rather odd, "Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten. The first time we met was when I came to your company, seeking your help for Jeremy’s operation."

"Do you really have no recollection at all?"

"What?" Joanna replied in confusion, "What are you talking about? Ashton Heath, what are you trying to say?"

He had never told her about that night.

However, Ashton Heath had never intended to keep it from her forever.

He was just contemplating, how he should break it to her.
