My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1975 - 1969: Already No Regrets
Gary White usually appeared calm and reserved on the outside, even somewhat aloof. Nobody could have imagined what he would be like at home.
He was like a child who never grew up, still able to playfully banter with his parents.
And from the interactions between Gary, Madam White, and Sir White, you could tell this was probably how he had always been at home.
Listening to the laughter and joy of the family, Joanna felt a warm feeling inside her heart at this moment.
This warmth slowly seeped into her heart, making it feel warm all over.
It seemed like it had been a long time since she had experienced this kind of warmth from a family.
After her mother, Mrs. Madelyn Lawrence, and her grandmother passed away, that so-called home no longer had the warmth of a family.
That was Annie’s and Rose Liall’s home.
But no longer her and Jeremy’s home.
But now, she was so fortunate to not only have found a new home but to also have so many loving and kind family members.
At this moment, she felt like she had no more regrets.
She really liked her current life.

Dinner was served.
When Joanna looked at the table, it was filled with various dishes, and almost two-thirds of them were her favorites.
She loved spicy food, but she knew that Gary and Madam White couldn’t eat much of it.
Ashton Heath couldn’t handle spiciness at all; last time he had fondue with her, he even had stomach problems that required medication for days.
But today, Madam White’s dishes were mostly spicy.
The remaining third of the milder dishes were made considering Ashton’s inability to eat spicy food.
Otherwise, Madam White had intended to make a whole table of spicy dishes for her beloved daughter to enjoy.
As for the other people?
She didn’t even care what her husband and son liked or whether they could handle spicy food.
If they couldn’t eat it, they could always ask the kitchen to make something else.
Her precious daughter only came home every once in a while, so naturally her preferences were most important.
Madam White had Joanna sit next to her.
Throughout the meal, Madam White didn’t even bother to eat for herself - she was always picking up dishes for Joanna instead.
"Joanna, try this Ikan Bakar and see how it tastes. The chopped pepper in it is especially flavorful because it’s been marinated for years with wild pepper. It’s then steamed in the fish head for a long time, so the sour and spicy taste has seeped into the fish meat."
"And this General Tso’s Chicken, the chicken is fried super crispy. I tasted one, and it’s delicious."
"There’s also this..."
There was a small mountain of food in Joanna’s porcelain bowl, and she had barely eaten anything before Madam White added more to her bowl.
Joanna couldn’t eat as fast as Madam White picked up the food.
In no time, the small porcelain bowl was overflowing, with the dishes almost spilling out.
And Madam White was still picking up more for Joanna.
With an enthusiastic tone, she said: "Joanna, eat up! Why aren’t you eating? Is it because today’s dishes don’t suit your taste?"
"No, all these dishes are delicious." Joanna looked at her overflowing bowl and wanted to stop Madam White, but didn’t know how to politely say so.
"Mom, who serves dishes like you? You’ve picked up so much. Can Joanna finish it?" Gary saw his sister’s helplessness and stopped Madam White, "Don’t just focus on Joanna, eat something yourself. Look, her bowl is full; if you keep picking up dishes for her, the bowl won’t be able to hold any more."
Madam White was taken aback, looking at Joanna’s bowl, and sure enough, it was already full.
