Chapter 191

In a moment, Ashley felt like her feet were nailed to the ground, standing still without moving.

She did some math in her head. If Valentin had liked someone for over a decade, that meant he had had feelings for her since his school days.

That was a long time.

Ashley couldn’t quite describe how she felt. She was initially starving, but now she didn’t even feel like eating.

On one hand, she wanted to figure out who Valentin liked.

On the other hand, with Valentin’s qualities, she thought if he had liked a girl for over ten years and she hadn’t reciprocated, maybe she was just not seeing his worth.

But Joseph’s tone was full of melancholy and wistfulness, not sounding like he was joking.

It seemed Valentin did have someone he’d liked for over ten years and hadn’t won over.

Ashley had hoped to hear more from Joseph, but he only said that one thing before shifting the topic away from Valentin’s secret crush.

Ashley was almost frantic. ‘How can you just stop talking in the middle of a story? It’s so frustrating!”

Just then, Jaden finished eating and stood up from his seat. Turning around, he saw Ashley in the restaurant and waved her over. “Are you here to eat? Come and join us!”

With Jaden’s gesture, Joseph also noticed Ashley and glanced behind her. “Where’s Valentin? Didn’t he come with you?”

“He’s handling a work call,” Ashley replied.

“That’s fine. Valentin will probably join us soon. Ashley, let me tell you, today’s breakfast is exceptionally delicious! I suspect they might have changed the chef. You must try it! It’s so much better than yesterday’s!”

But Ashley was in no mood to eat because she was curious. She walked over and sat down at the table, hesitated for a couple of seconds, and then couldn’t help but ask, “Joseph, you were saying…”

Joseph was very enthusiastic, even helping Ashley with pouring water. He stopped when he heard her start to speak and eagerly asked, “What?”

Jaden also looked over at her.

Under their curious eyes, Ashley suddenly felt it might be better to ask Valentin himself about this.

She thought, ‘Yeah, I should just ask him directly.

“It’s okay,” Ashley said nonchalantly as she stood up. “You and eat. I’m going back to find Valentin.”
