CHAPTER 2370: CHAPTER 2362: BUT NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE HE’S CHANGED HIS MIND

"Don’t worry." Joanna Lawrence appears resolute in her decision, "I promise to behave well, I won’t let you down."

"Since you’ve said that..." Ashton Heath’s thin lips curl in a sinister smile. He moves a few stray hair from her forehead behind her ear as if he’s joking, but there’s a hint of seriousness in his tone, "To demonstrate your resolve, how about giving birth to our child first?"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Joanna Lawrence is suddenly taken aback.

She, who was just promising to perform well, now has bulging eyes and a somewhat horrified expression on her face.

"What’s the matter?" Ashton laughs, "Are you unwilling? You just promised to treat me better in the future."

"No." Joanna takes a cautious glimpse at his face, trying to ascertain whether he is serious or joking. She nervously swallows and says, "Didn’t we agree to have a baby in a couple of years?"

"Yes, we did." Ashton narrows his eyes, "But back then, I thought waiting a few years to have a baby wasn’t a big deal. Now, I feel it’s better to have a baby sooner. You’re young and would recover quickly after childbirth. Grandma has also been anxious for us to have a baby."

Joanna presses her lips together and her eyebrows furrow.

Ashton Heath looks at her, "You don’t want to?"

"It’s not that I don’t want to." Joanna bites her lip and stays silent for a while before finally speaking, "I do want us to have a baby, and I don’t mind becoming a mom sooner. It’s just that your sudden baby talk caught me off guard."

"As you know, I have a film coming up. Linda told me that the director has high-quality requirements, so the film may take at least seven or eight months to finish. If I were to get pregnant in the middle of it, I would affect the entire film crew’s progress, which is something I wouldn’t feel good about."

"If you really want us to have a baby sooner..." Joanna takes a deep breath and goes silent again before deciding, "Could you wait until after I finish this film before we have a baby?"

Joanna Lawrence still doesn’t want to have a baby so soon.

She feels that even if she waits three or four more years, she would still be under twenty-five.

Having a child at that age wouldn’t be late at all.

Even though Aria Rowlett already has a baby and is the same age as her.

But she understands Aria.

If Aria hadn’t had an accident, she wouldn’t have wanted a child so soon either.

She and Ashton haven’t had such an accident.

Therefore, she does not want to become a mother so soon.

No matter how many people could help her take care of the baby in the future, she knows, once the baby arrives, she won’t be as free as she is now.

Unless, of course, she doesn’t care about her own child.

Her career is just starting to take off, and given how concerned Ashton is about her, she’s sure that she won’t be able to work if she gets pregnant.

Even though Joanna Lawrence isn’t particularly career-minded, she does have aspirations in her professional life.

She hopes to have some accomplishments and to consider having kids when her career stabilizes.

At first, Ashton supported her on this.

But now, it seems he’s changed his mind.

Of course, Joanna doesn’t blame him for this, nor would she be mad at him because of it.

His desire to have their baby sooner isn’t unreasonable at all.
