Emery burst out laughing on the other end of the call.

“Why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?”

“No, no.” Emery held herself back and stopped laughing. “You’ve changed so much in six years. Whenever I criticized Ashton in the past for lacking self-control, you’d always speak up for him and help him find excuses.”

“What? Was Scarlett that blind?” I blurted out. When I realized the mistake I had made, I quickly corrected myself, “Was I that dumb?”

Emery sighed. “I wouldn’t say that. Things were just way too complicated in the past. But I can be sure of one thing. Ashton was an ordinary man with emotions and desires only when he was with you.”

I laughed upon hearing that. “Is that so rare?”

No matter how privileged or outstanding Ashton was, he would still be at the mercy of his emotions when he was with something he liked. Why did Emery make it sound like Scarlett was blessed to have him express his emotions to her?

All I could think was how submissive this “Scarlett” must have been when she was with Ashton.
