Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 168

Lester was worried about Ashley going to the airport alone, so he drove her there.

Although this was Yaloria, the Pliskin family owned properties there, so it wasn’t surprising that Lester managed to get a car.

As soon as Ashley got into the car, Joseph ran over, smiling brightly, “Wait for me! I’m coming with you. Staying in the hotel is so boring, I feel like I’m dying!”

Ashley quickly closed the car door and spoke through the window. “What do you need to come for? Stay in the hotel, and don’t wander around.”

After saying this, she turned to Jaden, instructing, “Keep an eye on Joseph, make sure he doesn’t…”

Ashley paused mid-sentence, realizing that wasn’t quite right. Joseph and Jaden were always bickering. The idea of Jaden keeping an eye on Joseph was ridiculous.

With no better option, Ashley turned to Bryce. “You keep an eye on Joseph and Jaden.”

Joseph immediately objected, raising his fists in protest, “Hey Ashley, I’m the boss here! If anyone’s watching, it should be me keeping an eye on

Bryce!”

“Sure, boss, whatever you say. I’ll listen to you. Bye, boss!” Ashley casually responded, “Be good, and I’ll bring you back some treats, okay?”

“Do you think I’m a three-year-old? Bribing me with treats won’t work anymore!” Joseph continued his protest. “I want something fun, not just

treats!”

Ashley was left speechless. That didn’t sound very grown-up.

On the way to the airport, Ashley received a message from Miranda.

[Ashley, I’ve just landed. Bradley came to pick me up at the airport, but I still want to stay with you.]

[You can meet Bradley when you are here.]

Ashley replied: [Okay, I’ll be there soon.]
