My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1942 - 1935: I Really Didn’t Expect to Meet You Here

"Exactly. Joanna’s cooking is delicious, and everyone loves it, so our restaurant’s business is thriving. If we had a chef who couldn’t cook well, I bet the place would close down within three days."

Annie Lawrence stood not far behind the group, watching as Joanna was surrounded by Porter Rushbrook and others, while she herself was being ignored. Her face turned ugly as she clenched her fists.

The episode was finally over.

She could finally stop being with Joanna Lawrence.

For Annie, every day during this time had been agonizing.

She felt like she was just a foil for Joanna.

If it weren’t for her wanting to boost her popularity through this variety show, she would have left a long time ago.

"Tomorrow we’ll all be going back to our own lives. Let’s have a good get-together tonight," Faye Lister suggested.

Naturally, no one else had any objections.

So the gathering was set at 7 o’clock that night, at a famous super 5-star hotel in Wayharbor.

At 7 o’clock in the evening, Joanna arrived at the hotel with the others right on time.

Halfway through the meal, Joanna went to the restroom.

As she came out and just walked past the corner of the hallway, she heard a familiar, surprised voice from behind her.

"Joanna, is that you?"

Joanna paused, her expression changing slightly.

Seeing her stop, the voice from behind grew even more excited: "Joanna, it really is you, isn’t it? I never thought I’d meet you here."

Footsteps approached from behind.

When the footsteps stopped behind her, David Benington’s excited and surprised voice rang out again, "Joanna, the person I missed the most when I came back to the country was you. I heard that you were shooting a show here, so I wanted to try my luck and see if I could bump into you."

"I didn’t expect that we’d really have a chance encounter here."

David’s voice was very excited.

Joanna turned her head to see his flushed face due to excessive excitement.

David Benington’s appearance had always been that of a gentle and elegant type. His behavior was also quite refined, giving people a warm and jade-like feeling.

What Joanna had once loved about him was the gentleness that radiated from his bones.

She always thought her type of guy was the gentle type.

That was until she met Ashton Heath.

Now, she didn’t know if it was because of the Benington family’s blow or living in the remote countryside of Fronterra for more than half a year, but seeing David again, Joanna could hardly recognize him.

David’s temperament was completely different from before. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The David of the past looked like a gentle and refined noble young master, but now, his entire demeanor exuded a decadent and depressed vibe. What’s more, because of the strong sunlight in Fronterra, David had become tanned and his good looks had plummeted several levels.

Even Joanna, who had known him for ten years, almost didn’t recognize him.

If it were someone who wasn’t very familiar with him, they probably wouldn’t be able to recognize him at all.

Joanna also didn’t expect to meet David here.

Seeing this man again, her heart was filled with nothing but disgust and loathing.

With a very cold expression, she said, "I must be really unlucky. If I had known, I would have checked the almanac before leaving the house."

Her contempt and disgust were clearly written on her face.

David’s excited expression on his face froze. As he looked into Joanna’s eyes filled with loathing and coldness, a hurt expression appeared on his face.

By now, David actually knew very well that Joanna truly had no interest in him anymore.
