Chapter 123
Whitney headed over to the cottage to join Natalie for dinner. Natalie seemed to be over the moon all day. probably after catching a glimpse of the ultrasound picture, her grin so wide it barely fit her face. She looked at Whitney, almost bursting with excitement, as if she had the most wonderful news but could not share it. Whitney was puzzled. It was just a baby, was it not? Natalie was acting like she was expecting twins or something, she was so ecstatic.
Elaine was in her apartment, waiting silently for dusk to fall.
Then she called Ashton.
No matter when she reached out, this man would appear at a moment’s notice.
She had basked in his affection and love for years, feeling utterly entitled. So what if Valerie had schemed and married him? She was nothing but a pitiful worm.
As expected, hearing Elaine’s voice laced with sobs, Ashton immediately said he would come over.
Elaine hung up with a smirk, calculating the time. She sipped a few glasses of red wine, and then the doorbell
rang.
It was Ashton, having a run–in with the security guard outside.
Ludwik’s security guard could not stop Ashton, which was precisely why she had concocted this plan.
Elaine quickly tugged at her neckline, creating a picture of disarray, and with a loud crash, she smashed a wine glass.
At the sound, Ashton kicked the door open with his long legs.
The man in a light gray coat entered with an air of cold authority. “Elaine!”
He brusquely lifted the staggering woman. Elaine looked up at him with a half–smile and teary eyes. “Ashton, you came.”
“How could you drink so much? Don’t you know your stomach is delicate?” Ashton’s brows furrowed in concern. Her eyes, mysterious and filled with hurt, looked at him as tears quickly followed. “You always remember about my stomach, Ashton. Ludwik, he knows nothing. After all these years, I’ve been nothing but open–hearted to him, yet he chose to believe Whitney’s few words instead. He fired me today, and I’m just… really upset.”
She wept pitifully, and Ashton’s handsome face turned frosty. “You’ve been hurt by him again. What has Ludwik done this time? That Whitney, I’ve told you not to be too kind–hearted. Not everyone appreciates it. You’re just too good–hearted.”
