Save Myself from Desperation

Chapter 208

After breakfast, Ashley sat on the sofa in the living room and called Lester.

The call was answered quickly.

They arranged to go to the hospital together in the afternoon. George would also come by then.

"Are you going out this afternoon?" Valentin asked casually after she hung up the phone.

"Yes." Ashley thought for a moment and said, "Not only this afternoon. I also have to go out this morning."

Pullan would return to Yaloria tomorrow, so she planned to take him around and visit some places this morning. After all, this was Pullan's first time in Zyrrinthia, and Pullan loved Zyrrinthia and its culture very much.

"Shall I go with you this morning?" Valentin sat down on the sofa next to her. He crossed his legs, turned slightly sideways, tilted his head, and stared at her with his deep eyes.

His eyes filled with sexy and affectionate possession, like a man looking at his woman.

Ashley was texting Pullan on her phone. She didn't even raise her head when she heard it and teased, "For you to be Pullan's tour guide, that's too overqualified, is it?"

Valentin chuckled, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said casually and seductively, "Ashley, it has nothing to do with Pullan. I just want to be with you."

Ashley finally raised her head and looked at him.

She was caught off guard and met Valentin's affectionate gaze.

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she looked away in a flutter.

The next second, she turned her head, looked back stubbornly, and reached out to cover his eyes. "Don't look at me in that way." Valentin chuckled again, raised his right hand, and pulled down Ashley's soft hand with his warm palm covering the back of her hand. He pinched her fingers for fun with a lazy smile in his eyes. "You're so strict, Ashley. Can't I stare at my wife?"

'After he told me about his feelings, he no longer hides them, does he?' Ashley thought.

Ashley wanted to withdraw her hand, but it didn't move, so she glanced at him. "As a reminder, our divorce agreement expires in nine days." Valentin paused for a moment, then acted as if nothing had happened. "I know."

Ashley looked at him in satisfaction. "Great."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt her little finger being hooked by Valentin.

Ashley looked down and saw Valentin hooking her little finger with his and shaking it slightly.

Then, Valentin held her hand slowly. He inserted his fingers into the gaps between her fingers and entwined with hers.

There was an unusual intimacy to this gesture.

Valentin's thumb gently rubbed the smooth skin on the back of her hand. "Then I will try my best to make you want to be with me."

The words took Ashley's breath away. Her eyelashes trembled, but she didn't say a word.

He held her hand and shook it slightly. "Huh?"

Ashley couldn't flinch. She puffed up her cheeks and put on a helpless expression. "I heard you."

"So shall I be with you this morning?" he asked again.

"Aren't you with me now?" Ashley lowered her head and stared at his hands. 'It's strange. Why does his hands look so pretty? When browsing gossip on the Internet a few days ago, I saw many fans saying that they liked male celebrities' hands and regarded their hands as a bonus.

'But I looked at the photos of their hands one by one and felt that those hands were not as pretty as Valentin's,' she thought.

Ashley couldn't help but think of netizens' dirty talk. They said it would be a pity when they couldn't have such beautiful hands in their beds.

After staring at his hand for a while, she was suddenly pulled gently, and then her body fell into Valentin's clean embrace.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Um..." Ashley blinked blankly. "Why did Valentin suddenly hug me?" she thought.

She was startled, then raised her eyes to look at him. "What's wrong?"

From Ashley's position, she met Valentin's deep eyes, which were full of lust that was hard to resist.

Ashley was tense immediately.

Valentin lowered his head and gently rubbed the tip of his nose against hers.

Their breaths were ambiguously intertwined. Valentin's deep eyes were staring at her closely. His voice was hoarse with lust. "I want to kiss you."

At that moment, Ashley subconsciously tightened her fingers around Valentin's waist, which wrinkled his white shirt.

The clean white shirt was wrinkled, giving it an erotic feeling.

Her eyelashes trembled in panic, and her earlobes were hot and red. She looked like she was bewitched, neither hiding nor refusing.

"Valentin, Ashley, look what I brought!" At this moment, Joseph's excited voice came from outside.

Ashley was startled, woke up from the confusion, and continuously pushed him. "Someone is coming!"

Valentin frowned, still holding her without letting go.

Ashley couldn't break free and looked out of the living room warily. Seeing that Joseph was about to enter, she whispered anxiously, "Hurry up, Joseph will be here soon."

Valentin's tongue touched the roof of his mouth irritably, and he hugged her hard before letting go.

Joseph happily ran into the living room, holding a big box. The next second, when he saw Valentin's gloomy and unhappy face, he suddenly looked confused. "What's wrong?"

Ashley coughed awkwardly. "You said you brought something just now?"

Joseph immediately became active as Ashley mentioned and said as if he was offering a treasure, "My friend went out of town two days ago. He returned today and brought me a great thing, my childhood favorite! So I brought it to you right away. Valentin, come and take a look!" Valentin squinted his eyes dangerously. "Okay, let me see what you brought."

Joseph was stunned and thought, 'Why did he sound so scary? What happened? Why is he so unhappy suddenly? It looks like he got refused by Ashley.'

Joseph immediately looked at Ashley for help. After all, it was right to go to Ashley if something happened.

Ashley waved her hand. "Leave him alone. Show me what you brought."

Valentin's eyes became more dangerous.

'What does her words mean?' he thought.

Ashley pretended not to notice Valentin's gloomy gaze and ran to Joseph despite the pressure. "What is in such a big box?"

Joseph opened the package with excitement and revealed what was inside. "Look, a super-large Spider-Man toy!"

Ashley was confused inwardly.

Joseph added, "Don't show me that face, Ashley. This is Spider-Man! He specializes in fighting evil and protecting the earth. Don't you love him?" Ashley was speechless.

Joseph looked at Valentin. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly noticed that Valentin's face was even more gloomy than before, with disdain.

'Oh my, why do I feel even scarier!' Joseph thought.

Joseph thought quickly with his clever brain and realized belatedly. "Did I disturb you guys? I'll leave right away. Just pretend I haven't been here." Ashley reached out to pull him. "No, you didn't. Stay here with Valentin for a while. I need to go out."
