"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?"
