Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 105

Seeing Valentin’s birthday approaching, there were only a few days left.

Ashley became increasingly anxious, not having decided on a birthday. gift for him.

It had to be a proper gift, considering it was his birthday, a day that came only once a year.

Joseph came to the Kingsley Villa every few days.

Seeing Joseph’s smug expression, Ashley came up with an idea and promptly called him over, leading him to a gazebo in the garden for a chat.

This gazebo was Ashley’s favorite spot in the Kingsley Villa.

It situated next to a vast artificial lake where a gentle breeze rustled. through the pleasant scenery.

Since Valentin was still at the company and hadn’t returned yet, Ashley intended to extract some information from Joseph.

Seated on the bench inside the gazebo, Joseph raised an eyebrow inquisitively. “What’s up, Ashley?”

Ashley cleared her throat, subtly inquiring, “Have you prepared a birthday gift for Valentin?”

Joseph replied, “Of course!”

Ashley continued with a smile, “And what kind of gift have you prepared for him?”

Joseph, arms folded, raised an eyebrow mischievously. “That’s a secret!”

Ashley was speechless..

Ashley didn’t expect him to be so cautious.

Joseph rolled his eyes around and quickly assessed the situation. “Ashley, are you still struggling with what to give Valentin for his birthday? It seems like you’re really taking this birthday seriously.”

Ashley, sitting across from him, waved her hand. “Regardless of how seriously I am taking it, he has given me so many gifts before. I should reciprocate properly, shouldn’t I?”
