Cherish After Losing Novel Ashley

Chapter470

Menu

Tanya was completely stunned, wondering if her eyes had betrayed her again. But everything was so clear: Ashley holding Betty’s hand, Zark’s smile, and so on.

This told her it wasn’t a dream.

Ashley was hanging out with Zark and Betty. The atmosphere between the three of them, and the fact that Betty was holding Ashley’s hand, not Zark’s, showed that this wasn’t their first dinner together.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind.

Could Ashley be the “Aunt” Betty had mentioned many times before?

But… how was that possible?

A splinter of doubt wedged itself into her certainty. Last year’s memory surfaced unbidden–Zark approaching Ashley during the Speed summit, his body language leaning in with deliberate ease.

Then came the recent galas: whenever Ashley and Tim appeared, Zark would go to chat with them, lingering long after obligatory pleasantries.

She’d rationalized it before–diplomatic courtesy, networking pragmatism. But now? The pattern crystallized into something more intimate. Could it be… Zark was into Ashley?

No.

That was impossible.

Tanya froze, disbelief rooting her to the spot. Ashley and Zark had known each other for a long time. If Ashley were his type, he would have fallen for her long ago.

Moreover, she didn’t think Ashley was someone Zark would be crazy about.

Perhaps she was overthinking. Even though they were having dinner together, it didn’t necessarily mean Zark had fallen for her…

Seeing Tanya standing still, Mark walked over.“Tanya, are you alright?”

Tanya snapped back to reality and said, “I’m fine.”

“Let’s go in.”

“Okay.”
