My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1972 - 1966: The Polite and Considerate Child
"Mhm, okay." Joanna obediently replied.
"Let’s go in." Madam White said, "Gary and your dad are inside, waiting for you."
"Madam White, hold on a moment."
Ashton Heath walked to the trunk and took out the gifts they had bought.
Madam White noticed the bags in his hands and was startled, "Ashton, what did you buy?"
Ashton Heath brought the bags over to Joanna: "Mom, these are some gifts for you and dad. I didn’t know what you both liked, so I just bought some random items."
"You didn’t have to buy anything. We’re family, there’s no need to be so polite." Madam White said, even though her eyes revealed satisfaction.
This son-in-law knew his manners.
It also showed, from another perspective, that he valued their daughter greatly.
Madam White was slightly unhappy about Joanna getting married so early.
After all, they had just found their daughter, and she wanted Joanna to stay with them for a few more years.
She also believed that getting married too early wasn’t a good thing.
Being too young, there’s a lot they don’t understand, and picking this period of time to get married might not be the wisest choice. There will undoubtedly be regrets later on.
If they find a good husband, that’s fortunate.
If they end up with someone bad, it’s tragic.
Fortunately, both of the Heath family’s children seemed dependable.
Madam White asked Rowan, the butler, to take the gift bags from Ashton Heath and said with a smile, "Next time you come, don’t bring anything. It’s enough that you’re here, no need to spend extra on these items."
"Mom, I tried telling him the same thing. But he said he couldn’t come empty-handed, so he insisted on going to the mall to buy these things."
Madam White laughed, "It shows that Ashton is a well-mannered child."

Joanna held onto Madam White’s arm as they walked in front.
Ashton Heath followed behind Joanna and her mother.
It had been some time since mother and daughter had seen each other, so Madam White kept talking to Joanna non-stop.
Ashton Heath trailed behind, listening to Madam White’s endless expressions of concern and inquiries about Joanna’s well-being.
He didn’t feel left out. On the contrary, he found it heartwarming to see how much Madam White cared for Joanna.
They entered the living room together.
Joanna immediately saw Gary White and a middle-aged man sitting on the couch.
The middle-aged man was handsome and calm with an air of maturity, oozing with the charm that only a mature man could possess.
Joanna quickly confirmed the identity of the middle-aged man.
That was because Gary White, who was sitting beside him, looked at least half as similar to the middle-aged man.
Joanna instantly became nervous.
"Joanna," Madam White held her hand, looking at the middle-aged man, "That’s your dad."
As she spoke, she led Joanna over to him.
As soon as they entered the living room, both Gary and Sir White noticed them.
When Madam White brought Joanna in front of Sir White, he stood up.
The man seemed to be trying hard to suppress his emotions, but his excitement was visible in his eyes.
He looked at Joanna, his lips moving several times, but no words came out.
"Dad," Joanna called out proactively.
That word made the man even more emotional.
His lips quivered, his voice trembling, "You... are Joanna?"
"Mhm." Joanna nodded.
Then she saw Sir White’s eyes getting a bit misty, and his gaze upon her was a mixture of various emotions.
