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.

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.”

Standing up suddenly, Valentin walked over to her and squatted down on one knee, his sight at her level.
