Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 154

However, just as Lester was about to reach out to Ashley…

Ashley quickly sensed his movement and stepped back, her eyes full of inquiry. “What are you doing?”

Lester was speechless, finding the situation extremely awkward.

Worried that Ashley might misunderstand him as a womanizer, Lester quickly made an excuse. “There’s a bit of dirt on your shoulder. Maybe you rubbed against something. I was just trying to help you wipe it off.”

“No need, I’ll do it myself.” Ashley raised her hand and patted her shoulder.

Lester, heartbroken, withdrew his hand, catching a glimpse of the emerald necklace in Ashley’s hand.

The emerald necklace seemed to have Ashley’s birthday engraved on it.

Lester paused, his tone deep and meaningful when he asked, “Ashley, have you ever thought that maybe you’re not really a Ramos?”

Ashley was taken aback and looked down, her lashes trembling. “I’ve thought about it.”

Lester suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.

Ashley smiled wryly, her voice never so downhearted, “Unfortunately, Evan and I did a DNA test, which indicated a positive result for the parent-child relationship.”

She did it three times, each time confirming they were biologically related.

Even though she loathed the Ramos family, according to the test results, the Ramos family were her blood relatives.

The Ramos family, which she despised the most, was where she belonged.

Lester couldn’t help but furrow his brow as he observed Ashley. At this moment, she appeared so desolate and shattered.

This stirred Lester’s compassion and a desire to protect her.

Just then, someone called Ashley’s name from behind. “Ashley. What are
