Chapter 36

“Miss Haynes, you’re so beautiful. Are you interested in joining the entertainment industry?”

Joanna smiled gracefully toward the camera. “Nice joke. I’m more than content if Haynes Group would flourish.”

“Excuse me, when are you and Mr. Grimm getting married?”

“That’s personal. I can’t answer it right now!”

Joanna had been non–committal about her affair with Jaydon over the years.

After all, she still needed Jaydon as her patron at the moment.

Of course, the partnership was a two–way street.

With her title as Mr. Everett’s ex–wife, she would automatically be dragged into the limelight.

That way, she could bring more attention to Jaydon’s film and television company.

“Mr. Grimm, when are you going to propose to Ms. Haynes?”

Jaydon smiled, looked lovingly at Joanna, and said in a half–earnest and half–in–jest manner, “That depends on when she’s okay with that! If she wants to marry me now, I can propose immediately!”

“Wow, that’s sweet!”

“Propose now!”

The reporters cheered.

Joanna smiled bashfully and turned to Jaydon.

She made an eye gesture to him not to let the press digress in this direction.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jaydon gazed soulfully at Joanna.

His demeanor indicated that he did not just throw out a joke.

“You two even have your babies. So you’d better hurry up and get married! Don’t forget to invite us to your wedding too!”

Joanna couldn’t look Jaydon in the eye again and quickly withdrew her gaze. “I’m not going to answer any questions about this topic outside of work. As you know, my grandfather has just died, and I’m still mourning. Marriage will not be in my plan for the upcoming three years! I hope everyone. will stop asking.”

After the reporters heard that, they stopped probing.

After all, they need to respect someone who was mourning her loss.

Jaydon listened and suddenly felt a little despondent.

He had met countless women in his life, be it an innocent girl or a coquettish seductress.
