Save Myself from Desperation

Chapter 310

“Do you want me to kneel on the computer keyboard?”

Ashley huffed proudly, acting like a spoiled child. “Can't I?”

Valentin looked at her and couldn't help but smile, “You’re becoming more and more like my wife.” Ashley was speechless.

“Even controlling something like kneeling on a computer keyboard.”

Hearing this, Ashley grabbed his hand and bit it in frustration, asking angrily, “So, will you kneel or not?”

Valentin first looked at the hand that she had bitten, then at his knees, imagining the scene of kneeling on the keyboard. He laughed helplessly. “Do you really want me to kneel?”

Ashley pouted. “Yeah! Will you or won't you?”

Valentin’s eyes twinkled with a smile, his gaze filled with indulgence and adoration. “I'll kneel. How could | not, when you ask?” At that moment, Ashley’s ears turned bright red.

Her heart pounded rapidly, and she blinked. “Why are you so obedient!”

He raised an eyebrow. “Does that make you like me a bit more?”

Ashley nodded quickly. “Yes!”NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Valentin’s lips curved into a sexy, carefree smile. “Then how about a little reward for me?”

Areward?

Ashley blinked in confusion. Realizing what he meant, her ears turned even redder, and she leaned in to kiss him on the cheek. Valentin, rewarded, stood up, ready to call the butler to ask if there was a computer keyboard at home.

Ashley’s eyes widened, and she quickly grabbed his hand, stopping him. “I was just kidding! | didn’t want you to kneel!” Valentin turned back to look at her.

Ashley pulled him back. ” | was just teasing you! Besides, | have to go out soon. | made plans with Miranda on the phone earlier to have lunch with

her.”

Valentin frowned slightly, then suddenly called her by her full name. “Ashley Ramos.”

Ashley was startled. “What's up?”

Suddenly calling her full name made it seem like she was in trouble.

Valentin looked at her with a playful yet somewhat jealous tone. “Have you noticed you're nicer to Miranda than to me?” Ashley was puzzled.

Valentin’s expression was half-smiling, looking slightly dangerous. “You're going out with her instead of staying home with me?” Ashley said, “Don’t be jealous for no reason.”

He watched her without saying a word.

Ashley threw herself into his arms, rubbing her little head against his chest playfully, and then looked up at him with bright, sparkling eyes. “How can you think that | treat Miranda better than you?”

Unable to resist her charm, Valentin managed to hold back from embracing her and remained silent.

“lam the nicest to you! If I’m not good enough for you, I'll be even better in the future!” Ashley leaned her forehead against Valentin’s chest, gently bumping it. “Honey!”

At this, Valentin couldn’t resist and wrapped his arms around her waist.

Ashley smiled happily, her lively and beautiful eyes curving into crescents, looking sweet as she kissed his chin. “Then, I’m going out to have dinner with Miranda!”

Valentin was speechless.

After all that, Ashley still wanted to go out with another woman instead of staying home with him.

Was he not attractive to her?

Valentin’s eyes narrowed slightly, his voice deep and slow. “Do you think

a kiss from you will stop me from being jealous?”

Ashley, not indulging him, got up from his embrace. “Then, | won't coax you.”

Valentin was puzzled.

Ashley’s eyes twinkled with a mischievous smile like a sly yet adorable fox teasingly looking at him.

Valentin was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed.

But that laugh seemed somehow dangerous.

Ashley’s heart tightened, and she instinctively turned to run.

The next second, everything spun around her, and Valentin suddenly lifted her up, exclaiming in surprise, “What are you doing?” There was a hint of suggestion in Valentin’s eyes. “Asking for a different kind of reward.”

A different reward?

Twenty minutes later, Ashley was finally released, sitting in front of the vanity mirror, looking at the noticeable hickeys on her neck, her eyes filled with shyness and annoyance.

Her clothes hid the marks on her body, but the ones on her neck were not. How could she go out like this?

She pouted, trying to cover the mark on her neck with makeup, grumbling with flushed ears. “You're so annoying!”

Valentin leaned lazily against the vanity. His eyes half-closed as he watched her cover the hickeys, the lingering passion still evident in his eyes, exuding a lazy charm. “You're so cute.”

Ashley’s heart skipped a beat as she glared at him. “Don’t try to confuse me with your sweet words!”

He chuckled softly, his Adam's apple bobbing, and gently brushed a stray hair behind her car, then touched her soft earlobe. “It's not sweet talk. I’m telling the truth.”

Ashley said, “Stop flirting with me.”

Valentin raised an eyebrow. “What did you say?”

Ashley huffed and didn’t answer, getting up to change clothes. “I’m going out now!”

When they arrived at the agreed place, Ashley and Miranda found a restaurant to have lunch together. The news about their previous kidnapping had been reported. Setting aside how netizens commented, their fans were worried about their safety.

Ashley and Miranda took a selfie together and posted it on Twitter to reassure their fans.

Not long after the tweet, Ashley received a text message from Lester. [Ashley, | just saw your photo on Twitter. Are you having lunch at Herculy Restaurant?]

Ashley replied: [Yes, I’m with Miranda.]

Lester texted back: [I’m nearby. Can | come over and meet you?]

Ashley responded: [What a coincidence! Sure, come on over!]

After arranging to meet with Lester, Ashley chatted with Miranda for a while and then went to the restroom.

When she came out of the restroom and was walking back to the private dining room, she unexpectedly bumped into someone in the hallway.
