<h4>Chapter 1051: Chapter 1049: Make Her as Happy and Joyful as Possible</h4>


    The man ignored her and continued walking forward, leading her by the hand.


    After buying the medicine, the two returned to his car.


    Ashton Heath rolled up the car window, opened a tube of ointment, and gently applied it to her face with a cotton swab.


    "Hss." Even though his touch was gentle, Joanna Lawrence winced in pain.


    Ashton immediately stopped, looking worried, "Did I hurt you?"


    "It’s fine, it doesn’t hurt that much now."


    It was painful when the ointment was first applied, but soon Joanna felt a cooling sensation on her face, and the pain subsided significantly.


    "Should I continue applying the medicine?"


    "Mhm."


    Ashton picked up the cotton swab and continued to apply ointment on the swollen area of her face. This time, his gestures were even gentler and more cautious.


    It was as if he was treating a priceless treasure.


    As he applied the ointment, his eyes were filled with tenderness.


    When he finished applying the medicine, he held her face, examining it, and said, "The swelling should subside by tomorrow. I’ll apply more before you go to bed."


    "Mhm." Joanna nodded, looking into his concerned eyes. She smiled and said in a rxed tone, "I’m not in pain anymore. The ointment feels cool andfortable on my face."


    Ashton pressed his lips together, remaining silent.


    "Alright, I’m really fine now. Let’s go eat, alright? It’s already thiste, aren’t you hungry?"


    "Mhm, let’s go eat." Ashton paused for a few seconds before reaching out to yfully ruffle her hair. "After dinner, do you want to watch a movie? Or do you have any other ideas? Anyway, whatever you want to do, I’ll apany you."


    "Watch a movie?" Joanna thought for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, I’ll pick an interesting movie to watch after dinner."


    There’s a popr foreign blockbuster that was recently released.


    Joanna thought that she and Ashton could go watch it together.


    "Besides watching a movie?" Ashton hesitated, then asked, "Do you want to do anything else?"


    He wanted to have a proper date with Joanna.


    But, other than eating, watching movies, and shopping, he didn’t know of any other dating activities.


    He searched online and found that these were the typical ways people date.


    However, he felt that if they always did the same things, she might find their dates boring.


    She was still young and at an age where she enjoyed romance.


    He feared that she might find their time together too dull and tedious.


    He didn’t know how boys her age dated and interacted with girls.


    He was six years older than her.


    Though he wasn’t too old,pared to her, he was still considerably older.


    In front of her, he always worried that there would be a generation gap between them.


    He wanted to make her as happy and content as possible, to make her feel blissful.


    He wanted her to feel that being with him was a beautiful thing.


    "Other activities?" Joanna paused and thought for a moment, then shook her head, "I can’t think of anything right now. Do you not want to watch a movie, or is there something else you want to do? I don’t have to watch a movie."


    "No, it’s not that," Ashton paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "I’ll do whatever you want. Joanna, I’m worried that you’ll find it boring. Do you think our dates are dull and uninteresting?"


    "How could I?"
