Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 239

After the Skyward Art Exhibition concluded, Charlie took the initiative to find Ashley.

However, Ashley was indifferent, and she looked at him with cold eyes ast if he were a stranger.

Charlie paused briefly upon meeting her icy gaze. When they were in Ramos family, although Charlie was indifferent to Ashley, Ashley’s eyes towards him were always full with expectation.
