Chapter 840 Husband of the Year

Ashley didn't respond to Beathan's comment.

Beathan removed his glasses and lowered his gaze, wiping them clean. "Ten years ago, we were nobodies. No fame, no money. We rented this place because it was cheap. But back then, I was truly happy."

Ashley didn't share his sentimentality. "It's not that we didn't have money. We were just hiding our identities and pretending to be broke."
