My Secret Billionaire Husband

Chapter 2931 - 2450: Like Being Favored and Startled

"Joanna Lawrence, is...it you? Did you call to tell me something?" It was as if he couldn’t believe that this phone call was from Joanna. There was a long silence on Frank Parker’s end before he finally spoke.

There was hesitation even in his voice due to the uncertainty.

The cautious tone was akin to a surprised blessing.

Joanna glanced at Lady Parker, who was standing by her side. Feeling somewhat complicated, she responded, "Yes, it’s me."

"So it really is you, I thought I was mistaken." Frank was silent again for a few seconds, his voice sounding as light as if he was afraid to scare her, "So, does you calling me mean you need something? Whatever it is, feel free to tell me."

Joanna: "..."

This was why she wanted to keep her distance from Frank.

She wasn’t emotionally obtuse, she wasn’t oblivious to the fact that Frank had feelings for her.

It was precisely because she realized this that she didn’t want any further contact with him.

One reason was because Ashton Heath would mind.

The other reason was due to her own concerns.

She knew well that if she couldn’t give the other party what they wanted, she shouldn’t let him seize any opportunity, not even a glimmer of hope.

"Frank, did you have a falling out with your mother?" Joanna did not want to let Frank have any misunderstandings, so she straightforwardly stated her reasons for making the call, "Your mother came to me, she hopes you can come home."

"My mother reached out to you?" Frank’s voice went cold immediately, as the air pressure seemed to seep out from his phone, "She just called me, but I didn’t pick up. So are you guys still together right now?"

"Yes." Joanna said softly, "Lady Parker is right here beside me."

Hearing that Lady Parker was standing next to her, Frank’s voice immediately turned anxious: "She hasn’t made things difficult for you, has she? Has she said anything hurtful to you? No matter what she said, don’t take it to heart; she’s got some misunderstandings about us, so..."

"No, you have it wrong." Joanna interrupted him, "Lady Parker has not made things difficult for me, she just asked me to call you and persuade you to come home."

"Is that all?"

"Yes, that’s all."

"Sorry, it’s just family matters after all, I shouldn’t have involved you in this."

"Indeed, these are affairs of the Parker family, they have nothing to do with me." Joanna deliberately spoke in a distant manner, "But I could see that Lady Parker is very heartbroken and hopes that you can come home. She said you two have some disagreements, and she’s spoken harsh words."

"She regrets it now, and as long as you could come home, she will not interfere with your affairs anymore."

There was a moment of silence on Frank’s end: "You’re implying that I should go home, right?"

Joanna frowned slightly and corrected him: "Not me, it’s Lady Parker who wants you to. I’m just helping her convey this message. As for your decision, it’s your business. It’s not my place to interfere."

Upon hearing Joanna’s words, Lady Parker by her side immediately became anxious.

"Ms. Joanna, you must help me persuade him, you can’t just say that." Lady Parker pleaded in a hurry, "What if he still refuses to come back with you saying that?"

Hearing Lady Parker’s voice, Frank paused before asking quietly, "Is my mother right there by your side? Give her the phone, I want to have a few words with her."

"Oh, okay." Joanna immediately handed over the phone to Lady Parker.
