Chapter 41

Ashley surveyed the room, finding it elegantly and comfortably furnished, with a huge floor–to–ceiling window offering a panoramic view of the scenic beauty of the resort.

Distant mountains appeared in shades of indigo, enveloped in a haze, resembling a painting. Meandering waterways, lush trees, expanses of flower beds, and a crescent–shaped artificial lake with vast, misty waters could be seen within the resort.

Just standing at the huge window and taking in the view was enough to make one feel refreshed and

at ease.

Ashley looked around and concluded that this room must be one of the best in the resort, flawlessly perfect in every way.

The only downside was that there was only one bed in the room…

She couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Am I really going to share a bed with Valentin?”

Seeing that it was still early, Joseph handed Ashley the room key and suggested, “Valentini will take a while to come over. How about we go explore the resort first?”

Ashley nodded in agreement. “Sure.”

Not only was the scenery in the resort pleasant, but the air was also fresh.

While walking under an arch of climbing roses, Joseph’s phone rang. He apologetically took it out and said, “Ashley, I need to take this call.”

“No problem, go ahead,” Ashley said, thinking, ‘I’m not a child. I won’t get lost on my own.

Joseph then hurried off to take the call.

Ashley looked around, thinking, “This trellis of climbing roses is gorgeous, and there are even some vibrantly colored birds around, probably kept by the resort.

While she was observing the birds, someone suddenly tapped her shoulder from behind.

Assuming it was Joseph who had returned, Ashley turned around and, to her surprise, found Jeremy standing there.

Ashley’s good mood was instantly ruined, her expression turning to one of annoyance.

Jeremy, of course, noticed the change in Ashley’s demeanor and felt somewhat uncomfortable.

He pondered, ‘Ashley was enjoying the scenery in a cheerful mood before she saw me. But the moment she turned and saw me, her mood visibly soured. Do I irritate her that much?”

What was even more vexing for Jeremy was that seeing Ashley, the sister he once detested, now stirred a hint of excitement in him.
