My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1768 - 1761: Perhaps, She Started to Doubt Him as Well

Joanna Lawrence sat down in her seat, took out her eye mask, and adjusted the seat. Soon, she put on the eye mask, preparing to take a nap.

It would be a three and a half-hour flight from Closia to Fredericton.

With her eye mask on, she slept for a while before hearing footsteps nearby.

After a short while, there was some movement in the seat next to her.

Joanna ignored it and continued to sleep.

The person next to her finally sat down, and there was no further movement for a while.

It wasn’t until a short time after the plane took off that the flight attendant went to ask if they needed any help. Joanna, who had not fallen asleep completely, heard a familiar voice coming from the seat next to her, "A cup of ice water, with extra ice."

"Of course, sir. Do you need anything else?"

"Just the ice water." The man’s voice was cold, with an impatient tone.

"Alright, please wait a moment, and I’ll prepare it for you immediately." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Upon hearing this voice, Joanna opened her eyes and yanked her eye mask down.

She turned her head and saw Frank Parker sitting beside her. Her eyes widened with surprise.

As she turned, Frank also looked at her.

Their eyes met, and when Frank saw her, there was no hint of surprise in his expression.

Joanna stared blankly for a few seconds, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and an odd feeling emerged in her heart.

"Mr. Parker, are you going to Fredericton?"

"Everyone on this flight is headed to Fredericton. Where else would I be going?" Unlike his cold and impatient tone with the flight attendant earlier, Frank’s expression was now gentle, and his voice had a hint of laughter.

Joanna recalled the previous scandals and had no desire to continue any unnecessary conversation with Frank.

After asking her question, she showed no intention of continuing the conversation. She slipped her eye mask back on, turned away, and went back to sleep.

Her back was towards Frank.

Frank lowered his eyes, staring at her back for a moment before slowly clenching his fists.

How could he not realize that Joanna was deliberately avoiding him?

Frank probably knew why she was acting this way.

It must be because of what happened last time.

So now, she was trying to avoid suspicion.

She must not want to be involved in any more scandals with him.

In her eyes, he was nothing but trouble, and she would have preferred to stay away from him.

His heart ached, but he knew that his actions lately had indeed been abnormal.

He always seemed to run into her by chance.

Perhaps she had even started to doubt him.

After all, there couldn’t be that many coincidences in the world.

He felt like he was being despicable.

Even though he knew she was someone he shouldn’t be longing for, he still tried to find opportunities to see her.

Knowing that she was flying to another city for a film shooting today, he had someone look up her specific flight time, bought a ticket for the same flight, and even purchased the seat right next to her.

As a result, he was met with her disdain.

Being able to see her just a little more, spending these few hours with her on the plane – it seemed worth it to him.

As he thought about his actions, Frank found it amusing.

It turns out that loving someone could indeed humble a person to their very core.

But what could he do?

He truly loved her deeply.

So much so that, even though he knew there was no chance for them and that it was all wishful thinking, he still couldn’t let go.

He loved her enough to be willing to humble himself for her.

Joanna seemed to be sleeping, but in reality, she hadn’t fallen asleep at all.
