Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 122

Chapter 122

Early the next morning, Briar got out of bed and, out of habit, walked to the window to see if Ashton was outside the gate. Coincidentally, she locked eyes with him walking toward her house. She opened the window and said, “Morning.”

Ashton stopped and smiled at Briar, who had messy hair from just waking up. “Morning. Going for a run today?”

Briar nodded, looking at the workout clothes Ashton was already wearing. She asked, “You joining?”

Sure enough, Ashton nodded casually. “Sure.”

So, after a quick wash–up, Briar put on her sportswear, and the two of them jogged together around the neighborhood.

Forty minutes later, they stopped at the gate, slightly out of breath. Ashton helped wipe the sweat off Briar’s forehead. “Go take a shower and come eat breakfast. We have omelettes today.”

“Okay,” Briar responded, without looking up, and turned to head home.

‘Damn it! This is my first time running with Ashton, and not only does he have amazing stamina, but how does he still look so good after 6 miles?‘ she thought.

Ashton stared at her fleeing figure, the smile on his lips gradually widening.

Ashton was a man who could capture Briar’s attention whenever he wanted.

Briar’s first class wasn’t until 9:30 am, so she wasn’t in a rush. After breakfast, she leaned over the dining table, playing a game to pass the

time. Her fingers tapped leisurely, but every shot fired by her in–game character was a perfect headshot.

Each gunshot made Ashton’s eyelids twitch. The words of that lanky man from the previous night kept echoing in his mind.

“That woman’s identity is a mystery. Her marksmanship is every assassin’s nightmare. She is Bree…”
