Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 65

Joseph suddenly stood up with a cry and ran toward Valentin. “Valentin, Ashley is going to hit me with a cushion!”

Valentin responded without even asking why, “Then why are you running? Go and stand still.”

Joseph was left speechless.

He thought, ‘Is he telling me just to stand there and let Ashley hit me? Valentin, are you really choosing her over me?’

Then, Joseph dramatically burst into tears, wailing. “Alright, fine, it seems I’ve just wasted all these years of affection and time on you!”

Ashley was at a loss for words.

She thought, ‘Is he insane?”

Ashley put down the cushion, intending to ask Valentin what he was doing upstairs. But as she turned, she met his deep, intense gaze.

His eyes seemed to radiate heat from the depths of it.

Upon seeing this, Ashley felt a wave of warmth surge through her, causing her to look away in a fluster.

She grabbed the cushion again and hurled it at Joseph, thinking, “That’ll teach you to speak nonsense.”

After getting hit by the cushion, Joseph was puzzled.

He wondered, ‘Why is she hitting me again?”

Joseph raised his hands in surrender. “I’m sorry, I was wrong. Ashley, I’m leaving now. I won’t disturb you both!”

Once he said that, he turned and was about to flee.

Ashley narrowed her eyes and said, “Stop right there.”

Joseph froze, turning back with a pitiful look, asking, “Is there anything else, Ashley?”

Just as Ashley was about to speak, her phone rang. It was Miranda calling. Ashley then slid her finger across the screen to answer the call.

By then, Valentin had realized the truth and pondered, Joseph saying Ashley missed me was just his usual nonsense, and I actually took it seriously. I thought Ashley had really missed me.

Valentin’s eyes narrowed as he gave Joseph a nonchalant glance.

Seeing this, Joseph was startled and felt a chill down his spine.

He thought anxiously, ‘Oh no, Valentin had caught on!”
