My Secret Billionaire Husband Chapter 2845: 2855

“Well, since Annie has departed, if you intend to remain and continue filming the show, you may. However, immediately after you conclude your recording, you must head straight home. Your mother has been mentioning you frequently these past few days, even expressing a desire to visit. I had to put in considerable effort to dissuade her from that notion.”

“You should give her a call and assure her you’ll come home for dinner upon your return. This will alleviate her worries.”

“Alright, I understand.”

“Okay, I shall end the call now.”

Following the call's conclusion, Joanna promptly dialed Madam White.

Madam White answered immediately, greeting her warmly, “Joanna! I was just thinking about you, and then you called! Our mother-daughter connection must be incredibly strong.”

Hearing Madam White’s gentle tone, Joanna’s heart felt a warmth spread through it, and she affectionately replied, “Mom.”

“Ah,” Madam White responded with joy. “Joanna, how are you settling in over there? How are the living circumstances? Are they comparable to the previous locations you’ve stayed? I am exceedingly concerned about you. I considered visiting, but your brother adamantly advised against it, asserting it would only create inconvenience for you.”

“Your father conveyed the same sentiment. He reminded me that you are now an adult, no longer a child, and fully capable of managing on your own. But what do those two men truly comprehend? The experiences of girls and boys differ significantly, and I cannot find peace of mind unless I see with my own eyes how you are faring in your current situation.”

“Mom, please don’t worry, I am doing quite well here.” Joanna’s feelings of warmth intensified as she listened to Madam White’s solicitous words.

Joanna’s biological mother had passed away at an early age.

Consequently, she had been deprived of maternal affection for a considerable duration. Her time experiencing such a cherished and loving existence was limited to a few brief years.

Not long after Joanna’s mother’s passing, her grandmother, who had doted on both Joanna and her brother Jeremy, also departed from this world.

Within a short span,

Joanna had lost two relatives who had genuinely cared for her.

Subsequently, her father, Benjamin, wed Rose Liall. Once the stepmother entered the Lawrence family, Joanna no longer experienced the feeling of being tenderly cherished by a mother.

At that juncture,

she couldn’t help but feel a sense of envy towards Rose Liall’s affectionate treatment of Annie.

But presently…

She no longer felt the necessity to envy anyone else.

She possessed a loving mother, a caring brother, and a devoted father who doted on her.

She had once again found a happy and loving family.

She felt exceptionally gratified and content with her present life, considering herself the most fortunate person globally.

“You’ve stated that before.” Madam White, clearly unconvinced by her words, spoke with a tone laced with concern, “I can hardly believe the conditions of the place you were staying were even tolerable.”

Madam White was alluding to the secluded mountain village she had visited for the filming of “The Meaning of Travel.”

The mere thought of that village brought Joanna’s mind to Cameron, a persistent shadow in her life.

From that point onward,

whenever she agreed to participate in a variety show, she would instruct Linda to ascertain the filming location in advance.

Should it transpire that the location was a remote mountain village, she would resolutely decline participation.

Although an incident involving Cameron might never recur, Joanna still harbored an aversion to taking such a risk.

Naturally, even if she personally harbored no objections,

Ashton Heath would undoubtedly forbid her from going under any circumstances.
