Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 309

Ashley was lying on the bed, chatting casually with Miranda. After finishing the call, she looked up and saw Valentin standing by the drawer, seemingly searching for something.

Since he was facing away, Ashley could only see his back and couldn’t make out what he was looking for, so she casually asked, “What are you looking for?”

The maids always kept the spacious bedroom clean, so Ashley didn’t have to tidy the room herself. Though not familiar with the stuff in the room, Ashley quickly rose from the bed and said cheerfully, “Let me help you find it!”

Valentin lightly tapped a gift box twice with his finger, pondered for a few seconds, then closed the lid and pushed the drawer back. He turned. around to face Ashley with a smile and asked nonchalantly, “Ashley, do you have any plans for the next few days?”

Ashley shook her head. “No, why? Do you have any plans?”

She had just gotten up from the bed, wearing a slip dress. One of the straps had slipped down, revealing her fair and delicate shoulder, captivating without her realizing it.

Valentin was charmed by her cute appearance and couldn’t help but lean down to kiss her. He kissed her soft lips tenderly and passionately. “A place you liked when you were little.”

Ashley thought for a moment, not sure what he was planning, but she didn’t have the mind to think more about it. As he leaned in to kiss her, she instinctively raised her hands to embrace him.

Valentin gently kissed her, one soft touch after another. His warm kisses
