Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 118

Chapter 117

Ashton noticed Briar was spacing out and straightened up a bit, his eyes burning into her.

Feeling his gaze, Briar had no choice but to snap back to reality. Her long lashes fluttered twice as she asked, “What’s wrong?”

At this distance, even their breathing fell into sync. A breeze laced with osmanthus fragrance swept by, lifting a stray lock of hair from Briar’s forehead.

Nothing separated them anymore. Their eyes, their lips, even the air they breathed seemed to mingle on each other’s faces.

‘This is way too weird,‘ Briar thought to herself.

Strangely enough, her heart started to feel inexplicably happy. She blinked, wanting to turn her head away.

But Ashton moved first.

He straightened up, took a step to the side, and put on an earnest smile.

He said, “Nothing. I just thought you might get mad, so I’d be conveniently on hand to comfort you.”

Briar shot a glare at the man who was pretending to be all serious. “If you knew I might get mad, then why’d you tell me?”

It was a totally normal comeback, but to Ashton, it sounded like pride and pouting. He found it irresistibly cute.

He chuckled softly again.

Brandon even held his breath, desperately trying to fade into the background like an emotionless prop.

‘Is Mr. Wade actually flirting right now? Seriously?‘ Brandon screamed in his head.

As a guy who always kept women at arm’s length, Ashton was pulling out trick after trick. It was enough to make everyone’s jaw drop.

Brandon felt that this was just next–level.

Brandon rubbed his ear, feeling conflicted.

He thought, ‘Should I remind Mr. Wade that Xavion said you’re supposed to confess first and wait for a response before doing all this?

Otherwise, it would just be sexually harassing.

“I don’t want to hide anything from you,” Ashton kept up his act. “So, are you mad? I can deal with Frank for you.”

Briar paused for a moment before finally saying, “No, thanks.”

Ashton nodded, looking a bit disappointed. “Alright, what a shame.
