Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 108

Without waiting for Valentin to speak, Ashley quickly interjected, “Let’s not talk about it. Otherwise, it’ll lose its magic.”

Valentin slightly raised his eyebrows.

Ashley turned on the lights in the dining room and noticed Valentin was about to cut the cake. Her eyelid twitched involuntarily. “You know, maybe we shouldn’t eat this cake. Just light some candles, make a wish and that’s enough. No need to eat it.”

She had tasted it, and the flavor wasn’t great..

Earlier, when she said she wouldn’t let him eat if he laughed again, she was just joking.

But Valentin still cut a piece, using his slender and pale fingers to pick up a small fork to taste it.

Ashley admired his courage. “How is it? It’s terrible, isn’t it?”

He paused, then swallowed it quietly, looking at her with a serene. expression. “It has a very unique taste.

She thought, ‘Unique?”

“Thanks for that.”

Ashley intended to dispose of the unsuccessful cake.

But Valentin stopped her. “I haven’t finished eating.”

Ashley was perplexed. “You still want to eat it even though it tastes bad? Wait, are you planning to eat it all?”

He replied as if it was only natural, “It’s your first cake for me, Ashley. Of course, I should eat it all.”

Taken aback, Ashley blinked rapidly, her eyelashes fluttering. “Just don’t blame me if you end up in the hospital.”

Upon hearing that, Valentin appeared puzzled, clearly not expecting her reaction.

Ashley returned the cake to the table. As she turned around, she caught a glimpse of the gift from Joseph that Valentin had set aside.

While Ashley pretended not to care outwardly, her curiosity was piqued.

Seizing an unguarded moment, she stealthily approached and held. Joseph’s gift, feigning surprise. “Oh, how did this get into my arms?”

Valentin couldn’t help but laugh softly. “Are you that curious?”

Ashley’s eagerness to open it was palpable.

Valentin, lounging in his chair with a hand resting casually on his forehead, indulgently said, “Go ahead and take a look.”
