Chapter 196

The sun was at its highest point, and the temperature hit the highest of the day. When Ashton was back, I was sitting on the couch in the living room, sweating profusely while staring blankly into space.

Upon noticing the perspiration covering my forehead, he raised his voice to reproach me, “Are you planning to die from heatstroke, killing the baby as well?”

He entered the bedroom after me. After looking around for some time, he found a white smock dress and tossed it to me. “Get yourself changed! We’re going out right

I was feeling exhausted, so I gave him the brush-off. “I don’t want to.”

He said as a matter of fact, “Today is Benjamin’s birthday, and they are having a small family gathering. Aunt Sally called just now to invite us over for dinner.”

Although he didn’t put pressure on me, it would be too unthoughtful of me if I absented myself from Benjamin’s birthday Letting out a sigh, I changed into the dress and then put on light makeup.
