Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 230

After having dinner with Zain in the evening, Joseph stayed at Kingsley Manor, and Ashley and Valentin returned to Kingsley Villa.

Ashley walked into Kingsley Villa’s living room and sat on the couch. She hadn’t even rested for a moment when she received a call from Simon Hunt, her grandfather’s lifetime friend.

Simon knew that Ashley could paint and that Ashley was the mysterious female painter, Aurora.

“Ashley. I’m organizing a painting exhibition in the next few days, not a solo exhibition, but a comprehensive one, showing landscape oil paintings by many famous artists. I would love to invite you to participate!” Simon warmly invited.

Ashley thought that Simon was a good friend of her grandfather’s when he was alive and that Simon was a true lover of paintings, so she agreed to the invitation.

The next morning, Ashley planned to go back to where her grandparents used to live.

The paintings she painted were placed in her previous home.

Ashley spoke to Valentin and got ready to head out.

Valentin, however, stood up. “I’ll accompany you.”

He was worried that if she went back alone, she would be prone to think of her deceased grandparents and fall into sadness.

“Don’t you have to go to the company today?” Ashley didn’t want to interfere with his work. “You don’t have to stay with me. I’m fine.”
