Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 228

Ashley had just run to the balcony before the call was connected when she saw Valentin following her. She subconsciously waved her hand at him. “Go back to your room first. I’ll answer the phone.”

Valentin did not go back to the room, nor did he continue to walk forward. He leaned against the balcony’s glass door and casually folded his arms. “Go ahead. I won’t disturb you.”

He stood there with such a strong sense of presence, watching her answer the phone in person.

Ashley was at a loss for words for a while.

Thinking about it, she figured she wasn’t cheating on him and had nothing to avoid him.

She just felt a little weird.

Ashley turned her back and picked up the phone, holding it to her ear and even unconsciously lowering her voice. “Hello.”

Andrew, on the other end of the phone, was momentarily surprised when he heard the call go through and then smiled, “Tsk, I thought you would just hang up and ignore me. You actually answered the phone?”

“Why are you calling? Is there something wrong?” Ashley was not in the mood to talk nonsense with him and asked in a low voice.

“Baby, you have such a sneaky voice…” Andrew narrowed his charming eyes and smiled ambiguously, “Are you having an affair with me behind Valentin’s back?”

He asked in a good mood, “Are you willing to let me be your home

wrecker?”

Ashley was speechless.

She regretted answering his call.

Ashley took two deep breaths and said quickly, “I forgot about your birthday earlier…”

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the line.

After about five or six seconds, Andrew’s dark and dangerous voice

sounded. “You finally remembered?”

Ashley rubbed her nose in embarrassment. “Why didn’t you remind me then? Would you die for slightly reminding me?”

“Ashley, would it seem too pathetic of me to remind you of my birthday actively?”

Ashley didn’t answer.

Andrew’s husky, gloomy voice rang through the phone receiver, hardly hearing any emotion. “It’s not the first time you’ve abandoned me.”

“Don’t you talk nonsense!” Ashley was instantly agitated. “Abandon? I don’t have a special relationship with you. Don’t throw dirt on my head!”
