Perfect Match: Irresistible Desire For You
Chapter 96

Ashley really liked the movie. After all, it was a story about their love, which carried a lot of precious memories. How interesting and exciting would it be to watch and relive it again when they were older and their hair had turned to grey?

“I’m yours now. Stop being silly. You don’t have to worry about the movie.” Joseph lightly poked Ashley’s nose with his finger and said in a playful tone.

Hearing this, Ashley thought for a while and nodded her head in agreement. Then, as if she was a queen talking to a lowly peasant, she raised her voice and said, “I guess you’re right! You are mine now. I don’t have to worry about it at all.” After a short pause, she went on and said, “Joseph, let’s go.”

This time, Joseph was the one who ended up feeling restless. Indeed, he might have agreed to go on a date with her, but he didn’t want to leave here so soon. So, when he sensed that Ashley was acting like a cat on a hot tin roof and seemed to want to get out of this place as soon as possible, he decided to mess with her a little.

While they were on their way out, Joseph stopped abruptly, stretched out his arm, and wrapped it around Ashley’s slender waist. Then, he pinched her waist through her clothes with his fingers and whispered in her ear in a low and soothing voice, “Honey, why are you in such a hurry? You know what else I want to do before we leave, right? You know it very well.”

When Ashley heard Joseph’s attractive but mischievous voice, she was caught in a daze for a few seconds and turned beet red.

‘You know what else I want to do before we leave, right? You know it very well.’

These words kept ringing in her ears as Joseph caressed her waist in a weird way.

This made Ashley weak in the knees, just like how she felt that morning. Of course, she knew full well what it was that Joseph wanted to do.

In fact, Ashley didn’t expect that Joseph would catch onto her plan and say such a thing to put her on the spot.

“Why are you being so… bad right now?” When Ashley finally came to her senses, she stumbled over her words with a red face.

“Well, you know what they say. Good girls fall for the bad guys,” Joseph flatly replied.

Again, Ashley felt like she wouldn’t be able to keep up with Joseph at all. He was just too much for her to handle. He could always say these things so nonchalantly, as if he was just stating the obvious, leaving her at such a loss.

Be that as it might, Ashley still preferred this passionate man who could be faintly aloof at times. When they first met, Joseph was too cold and seemed so intimidating.

“You still haven’t answered my question.” Joseph pointed out in a low voice, wrapping his arm tight around her waist again to make sure she wouldn’t be able to go anywhere.

Noticing the stubbornness in his tone, the corners of Ashley mouth twitched slightly in annoyance. ‘Why the heck do I have to answer this question?’ she thought to herself.

Realizing that they wouldn’t get anywhere unless she answered his question, she stood on tiptoes, mustered up the courage, and whispered in Joseph’s ear, “I… I know.

There, can we leave now?” Ashley grumbled, feeling a little embarrassed.

With a snort of satisfaction, Joseph opened the door and left the room with Ashley as soon as he saw the look of embarrassment on her face.

Following him with leaden steps, Ashley couldn’t help feeling like he was getting too full of himself. Just because she accidentally let it slip her tongue once, Joseph didn’t let it go. He didn’t want to leave until he got an answer that would satisfy him. Just now, he was like a child throwing a tantrum and asking his parents for some candy.

Finally, the car arrived at a popular commercial street at Ashley’s request. After parking the car at a corner, the two of them went for a stroll in the bustling commercial street, walking hand in hand.

There was an assortment of products on display in the shops. Since Ashley wasn’t feeling hungry yet, she didn’t bother looking at the food stalls. Instead, she was more interested in checking the gift shops and specialty shops.

Joseph kept an eye on Ashley the whole time they were walking around. And whenever Ashley would take a couple of glances at something, he would purchase it for her right away. At first, Ashley was over the moon that Joseph was paying attention to her all the time. However, as the number of items he bought piled up one after another, she felt that Joseph’s habit of spending money without batting an eye was very spendthrift of him.

Thinking of this, Ashley pulled Joseph aside into the nearest corner to give him a talking-to. With a straight face, she said in a firm tone, “Stop being a spendthrift. Money doesn’t grow on trees, you know?”

Truth be told, Ashley was still trying to decide what she should take back to the country as souvenirs for her friends and relatives. However, before she could even make up her mind, Joseph went ahead and purchased the items one by one without asking her. Because of this, she began to wonder if it was time to have a serious talk with him about this. After all, if he ended up buying too many useless things, it would just be a waste of money.

Since she had been a part of the workforce for a number of years now, Ashley was well aware of how hard it was to make money. So, when she saw her rich boyfriend being a big spender, she suddenly turned into a bossy wife.

That being said, after listening to his girlfriend’s sincere advice, Joseph, who had been scolded from out of the blue, couldn’t help grinning widely.

The serious expression on Ashley’s face and the tone of her voice made her look like a bossy wife who had no choice but to slap her husband’s wrist for spending too much. Seeing the cute look she had on her face at this moment, Joseph found it so amusing.

‘I just bought a few things that I thought she liked. It’s not like I spent that much. If it were someone else, they would probably enjoy it if I bought them a lot of luxurious things.’ When this thought crossed Joseph’s mind, he felt so blessed to be with someone unique like Ashley who was such a sincere and beautiful woman.

One of them had a Cheshire cat grin on his face, while the other was wearing a serious expression. From the perspective of the bystanders, a beautiful foreign woman was scolding the man she was with—whose appearance also made him stand out among the crowd just like her—yet for some reason, the man seemed to be enjoying it.

Witnessing this scene, a handful of young women, who couldn’t help feeling sorry for the good-looking man, began to gossip about Joseph who was being scolded by Ashley.

“That foreigner looks so handsome!” one of the women exclaimed, almost yelling out in excitement.

“Yes, he has a charming smile,” another woman echoed shyly, blushing a little.

“Too bad he’s with that mean woman. How could she scold that poor handsome man?” a third woman remarked, sounding so cheesed off.

“Yes, that’s right…” All the girls sighed in disappointment.

Noticing that more and more foreign women were giving her weird looks and gossiping about her, Ashley fiercely stared at Joseph, who still had a big smile glued to his face. All of this was because of his handsome face. Now, a lot of women had their hearts set on him, and all of them thought that she was abusing the poor handsome man.

At this point, Ashley had already become immune to Joseph’s charming smile. But, for the very first time, she seriously thought that he would probably look better without it. After all, no one would dare to look at him when he was giving off such an intimidating aura. That being said, how could she just let other women long for her man? At the thought of this, Ashley inched closer towards Joseph with a pleasant smile on her face.
