Chapter 298

Jaden immediately looked at Valentin, hoping he would assert his authority and keep Ashley in check.

But to his surprise, Valentin just looked at Ashley indulgently, not minding being teased and having his face touched in public at all!

Jaden was astounded and turned to Ashley. “This conference room door isn’t locked, and anyone passing by can see inside. If they see your husband being teased like this, it’s his reputation on the line.”

Hearing this, Ashley glanced at the conference room door and quickly pulled back her hand from Valentin.

She thought, ‘Regardless, I should be mindful of his public image when we’re outside.’

Valentin’s eyebrows rose ever so slightly as he said indulgently, “It’s okay, it’s not embarrassing.”

Delighted by his response, Ashley’s eyes lit up, and her hand playfully reached out to him again.

Jaden was instantly at a loss for words.

Seeing Valentin’s “I don’t mind being embarrassed in public as long as my wife is happy” demeanor, Jaden almost choked in frustration, irritably thinking, ‘Ashley is really spoiled rotten by Valentin!”

Looking all too familiar with the situation, Joseph leaned back with his legs comfortably crossed as if he were only missing some popcorn to enjoy the drama fully.

He thought amusingly, ‘Ah, it feels good not to be the only one suffering

from their romance!’

Unable to stand it any longer, Jaden shook off his goosebumps and glanced at his watch. “I have something else to do, I’ll step out for a moment and be right back! You two cut down on the lovey-dovey act. It’s not friendly to us single folks!”

Ashley frowned slightly but didn’t respond.

Joseph, with a mischievous glint in his eye, also stood up, saying,
