Chapter 56

Briar, the subject of the Jennings family’s concern, was currently enjoying a candlelit dinner with Ashton in the rooftop garden of the Spring Hotel.

With the gentle night breeze blowing, top notch cuisine on the table, and the company of a handsome man and a beautiful view, there was nothing more blissful than this moment.

“Did the incident on the school forum today cause you any trouble?” Ashton asked, cutting Briar’s steak for her in a gentlemanly manner. He struck up the conversation as he watched her eat with relish, finding her adorable.

Briar shook her head. “No, I didn’t even take it to heart.”

Ashton nodded. “That’s good to hear. If anyone bullies you in the future, just give me a call. I’ll handle it for you.”

Briar swallowed the succulent steak in her mouth and looked at Ashton with a smile. “Ashton, why are you so nice to me?”

Ashton’s hand paused mid–air as he held the fork, then he nonchalantly took a bite of steak and looked at Briar across from him.
