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.”
