My Secret Billionaire Husband Chapter 2796 - 2804

Does he have so much wealth that he doesn't know where to spend it?

We're speaking of five hundred million dollars here!

Not fifty thousand, five hundred thousand, or five million, but a massive five hundred million dollars!

He poured in such a huge sum simply to get the Program Group to divide the male and female guests into separate living areas?

Joanna's heart bled over that fortune, leaving her feeling quite distressed.

Even for someone rich and headstrong, behaving this recklessly isn't right.

That 500 million dollars could purchase luxury cars, grand mansions, sparkling jewelry, stylish clothes, elegant shoes, designer bags, and high-end cosmetics. Wouldn't that prove far more appealing?

Joanna felt a surge of irritation: Did you sink this money in just because you couldn't stand me sharing space with the male guests? So you leveraged that investment to demand the Program Group separate the accommodations for male and female guests?

This time, Ashton Heath didn't respond to her straight away.

Instead, after waiting roughly one minute, he messaged back: Are you upset?

Joanna: Even if male and female guests share the common areas, everyone gets their own private bedrooms. Moreover, cameras monitor every spot in the rooms, making any improper conduct impossible.

Once she sent the Twitter message, Ashton replied about a minute later: So, are you upset?

He seemed to place great importance on that particular question.

Joanna expressed her true emotions without restraint.

Joanna: Ashton, there's no need for you to go to such lengths. Going forward, I'll still collaborate with male actors during film productions, and occasionally, some closer intimate scenes can't be avoided. Will you handle every instance like this? Unless I give up acting and exit the entertainment circle entirely—no way, even outside it, I can't promise zero interactions with the opposite sex for life.

Ashton: I never forbade your interactions with the opposite sex.

Joanna: Did you request the Program Group to abruptly split the male and female guests' living quarters?

Ashton: Yes, that was my doing, yet I believe I committed no error.

Right as Joanna prepared to type back, he rang her up.

Joanna picked up the phone.

"I’ve waited all day for your message or your call. Aware you're swamped and couldn't reach out, I've longed for your contact. After half a day of anticipation, your Twitter message finally arrived, yet now you're set to quarrel with me?"

Through the phone came the man's deep, captivating voice, laced with a touch of sulkiness that Joanna clearly sensed.

Not giving her a chance to respond, he pressed on, "Baby, I miss you."

Joanna: "..."

Arguing with Ashton was never her intention.

All she sought was to make logical points to him.

However, his sudden "Baby, I miss you" caused Joanna to blank on her prepared words.

"Have you ever thought about me?" Ashton showed no desire to revisit the prior tense exchange. Ever since the call connected, he'd focused solely on voicing his deep yearning for his cherished wife.

Joanna: "We've only been separated for a few hours..."

"Precisely, four hours, thirty minutes, and five seconds."

Joanna: "..."

"Without you by my side, each minute and second drags on endlessly."

"Ashton, aren't you overdoing it a bit?" Joanna couldn't help but smile at his antics.

His voice carried a hint of hurt: "I'm speaking nothing but the truth. You, my heartless little white-eyed wolf, couldn't possibly grasp your vital role in my world. Admit it—you haven't spared me a thought, right?"

"Er..." Joanna parted her lips.

"I told you that you are a heartless little white-eyed wolf." Ashton sighed, "
