Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 297

After getting up from bed and getting dressed, Ashley and Valentin went downstairs together.

She was surprised to find Joseph still waiting in the living room, sitting on the carpet with a serious expression, busily assembling a Lego set.

Upon seeing Ashley and Valentin coming down, Joseph stood up enthusiastically and proudly showed off his creation. “Valentin, Ashley, look at the husky I built! Isn’t it cute?”

Ashley’s eyes shone brightly as she exclaimed, “Wow, it’s so cute, just like you!”

Joseph was instantly puzzled by her comment.

He then turned and complained to Valentin in a whiny tone, “Valentin, did you hear what Ashley just said?”

With a slight lift of his eyebrows, Valentin agreed, “I heard it. I think Ashley is right.”

Joseph was stunned, thinking irritably, ‘Oh, here we go with the sweet

nothings!”

Ashley couldn’t stop laughing and, holding Valentin’s hand, looked at Joseph in the living room, asking, “Why are you alone here? Where’s Claire?”

“She went home. I was just bored waiting for you guys!” Joseph responded while holding the Lego Husky and asked with intrigue, “Ashley, what are you going to do with Jessica this afternoon? Can I come along? Please?”

Ashley glanced at Joseph and questioned, “Why should I take you with

me?”

Joseph dramatically insisted, “I don’t care, I want to go with you! If you don’t take me, I’ll let my son bite you!”

Ashley raised an eyebrow in confusion. “Your son?”

Joseph then proudly held up his Lego Husky and barked. “Woof woof

Ashley was rendered speechless, thinking, ‘Alright, for the sake of his ‘son,
