My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1956 - 1950: Isn’t It All Because of Brandon Heath

"Hmm." Joanna nodded, "It’s not hard to guess."

"So, what do you plan to do about it?"

Joanna thought for a moment and said, "I’ll think about it some more. I’ll let you know when I’ve decided."

"Alright."

Ashton handed the decision-making power to her.

If it were up to him, he wouldn’t give Annie Lawrence any more chances to bounce back.

But Annie was part of the Lawrence family.

Ashton thought it would be better for Joanna to handle the matter herself.

If she couldn’t handle it well, he could still step in later.

On her first day back in Closia, Joanna spent the day lying down and resting at home.

She had been busy for more than half a month and could finally take a good rest. She spent almost the entire day lying in bed.

After sleeping for a full day, she felt refreshed the next day and went to see Aria at Brandon’s house.

When Aria heard that Joanna had returned to Closia, she was delighted.

Since Aria became pregnant, Brandon had restricted her activities a lot, so instead of meeting Aria outside, Joanna went to see her at home.

Now, whenever Aria went out, she would be followed by a group of people.

Brandon was very anxious about her, extremely anxious.

Aria wasn’t used to having people follow her all the time, so she rarely went out since becoming pregnant.

Usually, she would just stroll around the backyard of Brandon’s house.

Or wait for Brandon to have time and then go out with him.

So when she heard Joanna had returned to Closia and came to visit her, she was ecstatic and had Ria prepare all the necessary hospitality in advance.

She went outside early to wait for Joanna.

As soon as Joanna’s car stopped, Aria walked over.

Ria followed closely behind her, watching her walk so hurriedly she couldn’t help but remind her anxiously, "Ms. Joanna, please slow down."

The back seat door opened.

Joanna got out of the car.

"Baby, you’re finally back. I missed you so much." Aria came forward, grabbed Joanna’s hand, and hugged her.

"Aria, I missed you too." Joanna held Aria’s hand, looked her up and down carefully, and finally focused on her still flat belly. She gently touched Aria’s belly and asked, "Has my little nephew behaved well lately? Hasn’t he been bothering his mom?"

As Aria was about to speak, Ria stepped forward and supported Aria. She sighed and said, "Ms. Joanna, our Ms. Aria has been tormented quite a bit lately. She has a poor appetite and eats very little. She vomits several times a day. Haven’t you noticed that she’s lost some weight?"

Joanna listened to Ria and looked at Aria again, realizing that she did seem to have lost some weight.

But she still looked healthy overall.

Joanna frowned slightly and asked, "Aria, is your appetite not good?"

Aria pouted, "It’s all because of Brandon."

"Brandon?" Joanna was puzzled, "What does it have to do with him?"

"It’s because he doesn’t allow me to eat what I love." As she spoke, Aria couldn’t help but complain to her best friend, "He found several nutritionists for me and said I have to eat food prepared according to their recipes every day. You know, those nutritionists only prepare very bland meals, and we’re not allowed to eat this and that. I can’t stomach the food they allow us to eat."

"Ms. Joanna, Mr. Brandon is doing this for your and your baby’s health," Ria said, listening to Aria’s childish complaints and feeling compelled to defend Brandon.
