Chapter 194

“What happened?” Valentin remembered. She’d said she had something to ask him since breakfast and hadn’t had the time to do so until now.

“Sit down first.” Valentin pulled her to sit down in the wicker chair next to him.

A silver coffee pot sat on the glass round table, rising in a curling mist that gave off the aroma of coffee.

Valentin leaned over and picked up the silver coffee pot, pouring her coffee with a pleasing elegance and nobility from his bones.

Not having the mood to admire his elegance at the moment, Ashley said directly, “I hear you have had a crush on someone for over ten years.”

Instantly, Valentin stopped pouring coffee.

The scene was deathly quiet.

It took several seconds before his eyelashes fluttered lightly. Putting the coffee pot down, he looked up at her and said in a deep voice, “Where did you hear that?”

“I heard about it from Joseph when I went to the diner this morning.” Ashley blinked. “I was sneaking over to try to scare him from behind when I happened to hear him tell Jaden that you have a crush on someone for over ten years and haven’t been able to pursue her.”

Valentin fell silent.

Ashley didn’t notice her subconsciously pinching her dress. “Is Joseph telling the truth or not?”

She thought, ‘He’s liked that person for over ten years. Such a long time.”

Valentin looked at her silently, as if he had only been looking at her for a few seconds and as if he had looked at her for as long as a century.

Finally, he admitted, “It’s true.”

Ashley’s eyelashes fluttered twice at his words, like butterfly wings fluttering in panic. She said slowly, “Oh.”
