Ashley had no idea how long time had passed.

She got up from Valentin’s embrace, her face flushed red, feeling both shy and embarrassed. She was even close to tears, appearing delicate and charming. “Valentin, you…“

She paused, then shouted in a fit of bashful anger, “I’m giving you the cold shoulder! No, I’m cutting ties with you! Forever!”

Valentin slightly raised his eyebrows and stood up.

Ashley suddenly became nervous, fearing he might kiss her again, and immediately turned and ran out of the study.

She went back into her room, leaning against the door, breathing erratically, with weak legs.

She couldn’t help but touch her lips, her heart racing and taking a long time to calm down.

Joseph glanced at Valentin sitting on the couch, smiling. “Yes, you and Valentin.

Ashley frowned in annoyance, “He’s not going.”

Valentin was quite surprised.

He thought to himself, ‘Sheesh, I really upset Ashley yesterday.”

Joseph had no choice but to send a text: [Valentin, are you really not coming?]

Valentin replied: [Take her to have fun first. I’ll come over later.]

On their way to the club, Joseph occasionally glanced Ashley in the passenger seat, his eyes rolling around inquisitively before he ventured to ask, “Ashley, did you and Valentin have a fight?”

Ashley rested her elbow on the car window and supported her forehead. “Why do you ask?”

Joseph looked up, his tone smug. “You left Valentin alone at home just now. I’m so clever. I figured it out!”

Ashley glanced at him. “Why are you so nosy?”

Joseph raised an eyebrow, grinning playfully. “Gossip brings joy! Ashley, come on. Did you fight with Valentin or not?”
