Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 68

Ashley’s heart fluttered as if a dandelion had been gently plucked, sending down its soft, fuzzy seeds.

She wanted to say something but momentarily at a loss for words.

Valentin took the earrings from the box, his voice low and magnetic. “Let me put them on for you?”.

Ashley glanced at him and leaned in.

The man’s fingers delicately held the beautiful earrings, gently placing them on her

After he was done, he lightly tickled her soft, fair earlobe and looked at her affectionately. “They suit you very well.”

Ashley felt a sudden warmth in her earlobes, spreading to her cheeks, and she touched her earlobe awkwardly. “Since you’re better now, I’ll be leaving.”

Just as she stood up, Valentin caught her wrist.

He frowned, looking frail and in pain. “It’s started to hurt again.”

Ashley blinked in disbelief. “Weren’t you just fine a moment ago?”

Valentin took her hand and placed it on his abdomen. “It hurts again. Rub it for me, please.”

Ashley was speechless.

However, she didn’t listen to him this time.

Ashley poured a fresh cup of hot water for him. Seeing Valentin feigning weakness, an impulse struck her, and she said, “Here you go, little fella.”

Valentin was perplexed.

He stared intently at her for a while. Suddenly, he smirked. But it wasn’t fully a smile nor a frown, and he put the cup on the table.

Ashley was about to ask why he wasn’t drinking.

In an instant, her world spun as she found herself pinned down on the bed by Valentin.
