Ashton Has Androphobia

Joanna Lawrence gave him a slight nod.

She was still not used to the title “Ms.

Joanna”.

It felt odd to hear others call her that.

The driver opened the rear door and waited for Joanna to get in before returning to the driver’s seat.

After getting in the car, Joanna realized that Ashton Heath was not in the vehicle.

She casually asked, “Is Mr.

Ashton still busy?”

The driver replied, “Someone came to talk to Mr.

Ashton temporarily, so he asked me to pick you up first.”

“Oh.”

On the road.

Joanna felt that the driver kept stealing glances at her, and she didn’t pay much attention at first, but when he kept doing so, she became a little uneasy.

At a red light intersection, Joanna noticed the driver stealing glances again and couldn’t help but ask, “Um…

you’ve been looking at me, is there something wrong?”

“Huh?” The driver was taken aback by her question, then nervously said, “Ms.

Joanna, don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean anything else.

I’m just…

curious…”

“Curious?” Joanna frowned in confusion.

What was he curious about?

“Yes, curious,” the driver glanced at the rearview mirror again, then said, “Before Ms.

Joanna, there were never any other women by Mr.

Ashton’s side.

He hadn’t even had a single romance.

The madam introduced him to countless well-bred ladies, but he never gave them a single look.

Sir Darren and Madam Heath were very worried because of this.”

Joanna exclaimed in surprise, “Really?

You mean he hasn’t had a single romance?”

A man with such conditions would have been the center of attention for the opposite sex since childhood, right?

How was it possible that he hadn’t had a single romance?

The driver sighed, seeing her surprised expression in the rearview mirror, “You may not know, Ms.

Joanna, but our Mr.

Ashton has androphobia.”

“Androphobia?!” Joanna was stunned for a few seconds.

What kind of illness was that?

The driver explained, “It means he dislikes women and doesn’t want to have contact with them.

Mr.

Ashton has always kept his distance from other women, except for the madam and Madam Heath.

This is also the reason why he is so outstanding, yet still single.”

“Mr.

Ashton’s condition is very rare and many doctors have been unable to cure him.

So, when I heard that you two got married, I was very surprised.”

Joanna was astonished and stayed silent for a while before asking doubtfully, “So, what happens if he does come into contact with women?”

The driver’s expression turned solemn, speaking seriously, “Mr.

Ashton can develop severe allergic reactions.

In mild cases, he gets rashes on his body; in severe cases, he may vomit, feel cold all over, or even faint.”

Joanna: “!!!”

What?!

Such a strange illness?

But that’s not right!

He had even initiated a hug with her before, and she hadn’t noticed any allergic reaction.

It seemed as if the driver had guessed what Joanna was thinking, so he added, “Mr.

Ashton seems to have no allergic reactions to you.”

The driver thought that this must be the reason why Mr.

Ashton suddenly got married.

Moreover, Ms.

Joanna was quite good-looking, even he found her likable when he looked at her.

However…

Madam Heath and Sir Darren probably didn’t know about Mr.

Ashton’s marriage yet, and Madam Heath had been trying to match him with Rebecca Kelloway.

Once they found out about this, their reactions would be unknown.

The driver drove to a shopping mall.

After getting out of the car, he told Joanna, “Mr.

Ashton said for Ms.

Joanna to go shopping at the mall first.

This mall is owned by us, so whatever you like, please take it directly.”
