Chapter 49

Before Valentin could finish his words, Ashley couldn’t stand it anymore. She pounced to cover his mouth and said, “Just shut up! I won’t say thank you again, okay?”

At the moment of her pouncing, Valentin opened his arms and caught her in an embrace.

He held her waist, looking down at her, a pleasant and sexy smile on his face. “Ashley, you’re so domineering. How can you stop me from talking?”

Ashley, who hadn’t covered Valentin’s mouth but chin, shifted her hand from his jaw to cover his mouth. “Enough!”

With his mouth being covered, Valentin raised an eyebrow but didn’t resist, appearing as if he’d let her deal with him as she pleased.

Glaring at him, Ashley, due to shyness, twinkled her eyes. “You’re not allowed to speak casually like

that in the future.”

Valentin remained silent, not making any promises.

Ashley’s expression turned even more fierce. “Did you hear me?”

With one arm around her waist, the other hand gently lifted, Valentin pinched her soft cheek.

Ashley immediately turned her head aside and said, “Stop pinching my face. I’m all grown up. Don’t treat me like a child.”

I’m not a three–year–old anymore. Randomly pinching my face… That’s embarrassing!‘ She thought.

Valentin found her cute with this move, and a chuckle escaped his throat.

Due to being silenced, he sounded somewhat deep as he spoke. “I just wanted you to call me in an intimate way. Is that considered talking nonsense?”

Ashley was stunned again..

As Valentin spoke, his lips grazed gently over her palm, causing a shivering sensation and a ticklish. feeling.

Ashley curled her fingers involuntarily.

It dawned on her that when she had just pounced to cover his mouth, she had ended up in his arms. Their bodies were tightly pressed together, creating an ambiguous and dangerous closeness.

Even through the thin fabric, she could distinctly feel his warmth.

Ashley felt a sudden tightness. She immediately released his mouth and took two steps back.

Awkwardly avoiding eye contact, she stared at the nearby floor–to–ceiling windows, speaking softly. “Have you forgotten? We signed a divorce agreement, and we’re getting divorced after one year.”

Therefore, she didn’t want to call him in an intimate way.

Hearing what she said, Valentin looked displeased, and his expression darkened.

Divorce?

Valentin narrowed his eyes dangerously and said chilly. “Is that so?”

Surprised by his reaction, Ashley looked back at him. “Have you really forgotten? We signed a divorce agreement before, with a one–year deadline.”
