My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1971 - 1965: She Doesn’t Need Any Job

Joanna Lawrence had barely gotten out of the car when Madam White excitedly grabbed her hand. "Joanna, you’re finally back. Are you hungry or thirsty from the trip? I’ve prepared lots of delicious food for you. You haven’t been home in such a long time, you’re not allowed to leave early today."

"Your dad is back from overseas. Knowing that you’re back with us, he has been eager to see you."

"Why have you lost weight? Are you not eating or sleeping well out there? It’s too tough, isn’t it? I knew it, you must have had a hard time outside. If you’re running low on money, you can tell me. No matter how much you need, Mom will give it to you. You shouldn’t have to work this hard."

"Or your dad could arrange for an easy position in the company. It would be better than what you’re doing now."

"Mom," Joanna Lawrence knew Madam White was worried about her, but she couldn’t help but feel helpless. "I’m not short of money. I’m working in this field, not because I lack money. I do it because I love my job. So even if it’s tough, it’s alright."

"But Mom will feel bad for you." Madam White touched Joanna Lawrence’s face with a heartache expression, "If you like to act, you don’t have to work this hard. Let your brother Gary find you some easy-going movies."

"Mom, I..."

"Mom, Joanna likes to fight on her own, and is satisfied by the achievements she makes by herself. Otherwise, I could have already found her some easy and profitable movies and TV series. If you arrange everything for her, she probably wouldn’t be happy."

"Just let her fight on her own."

Ashton Heath got out of the car, hearing Madam White’s words, he stepped up next to Joanna Lawrence to help her answer.

"Yes, Mom, I like to fight on my own." Joanna Lawrence nodded in agreement when her husband spoke up for her. "I like to obtain what I want through my own capabilities. Only then can I feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction."

"If it comes too easily, without any effort, then it wouldn’t feel as valuable."

"So, there’s no need for you to worry about me. Let me fight on my own, okay?"

Madam White was silent for a moment, before she sighed softly: "Since you have said so, what more can I say? All I am is worried. I can’t bear seeing you so worn out."

Madam White found it hard to let her long-lost beloved daughter struggle even the slightest bit.

She wished to give Joanna Lawrence the very best of everything in the world.

Seeing her precious daughter looking thinner from filming, Madam White was heartbroken.

She was not fond of seeing Joanna Lawrence striving like this.

She wished Joanna Lawrence could just be like the daughters of her close friends: a pampered, well-bred lady, with everything provided for her at home.

With such work,

Both the Heath or the White family can provide her with the finest material life.

There was no need for her to work at all.

Madam White was set on letting her daughter enjoy the easy life at home; however Joanna Lawrence found no appeal in that.

"Mom, I don’t feel exhausted." Joanna smiled, "Even when I’m working, even if it’s tiring, I’m happy. Besides, I’m not always working, I do get my rest. When I’m resting, just help me to replenish my energy, okay?"

"Of course, we need to replenish your energy." In Madam White’s eyes, there was nothing but concern, as though Joanna Lawrence had been doing harsh labour. "That’s why I asked the kitchen to prepare a very nourishing soup for tonight. Make sure you have some later."
