Exclusive Memory novel Chapter 11

As the night fell, the lights on the street were flickering, and restaurants were also packed with customers, and the constant stream of cars and crowds were driving eagerly on the way back home.

When the business with Dylan was over, she could take a couple of days off. Then she would take her mother's favorite food to the graveyard to see her.

The taxi finally stopped in front of a Chinese restaurant. Ashley followed them and went out after seeing which room they went into. Then she went to a clothing store nearby and bought a dress of the same style as that of a waiter. She entered the Chinese restaurant again and stood outside the box, pretending to make a call.

The Chinese food usually needed to be served one after another for a long time. After waiting for about ten minutes, a waiter came to deliver the food. Ashley stopped the waiter and said, "Let me do it here. You can go about your business."

In general, waiters in this kind of restaurants were not as vigilant as the members in the hall. Therefore, this waiter handed the dishes to her without thinking more.

"Knock, knock, knock." Ashley knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Ashley opened the door and saw Dylan wearing a hat and a woman. A man sat opposite them. The woman took off her hat and revealed her beautiful face. The face was a little familiar, but Ashley couldn't remember who she was.

Since she had accomplished her task, the next thing she should do was to think about who this woman was.

After carefully putting the garlic fans' steamed scallops on the table, Ashley stood up and was about to leave, but at the moment when she turned around, she saw the man who had his back to her. Then she was stunned.

Francis!

Why was he here? What a coincidence! Is he going to blow the show? Would Dylan discover that something was wrong, either?

Francis also saw her. In the blink of an eye, countless ideas flashed through their eyes.

Ashley naturally nodded and acted like nothing had happened. It was just like a waiter was facing a diner. Francis was a little bit slow, but he still looked away from her.

That's good. He didn't expose her lie.

Feeling relieved, Ashley left the room. When she walked to the corridor, her legs became a little weak. Handing the tray to the waiter passed by, she held the wall to make sure she wouldn't fall down. She didn't realize how big the hotel was before she came here, but now when she left, she found the corridor so long.

Hearing the sound of rapid footsteps behind her, Ashley couldn't help but speed up, and she even wanted to run, as if there was a monster who was chasing her. But just now, she was so terrified that her legs were still weak. As she was so anxious, she almost fell to the ground. Seeing this, Francis quickly ran a few steps to hold her.

"Don't touch me!" She struggled to free herself and then leaned against the wall to steady herself, staring at him warily.

Her cold stare made his heart ache, but Francis still looked at her with a brow arched. "You are an entertainment reporter. How could you serve the dishes here? Is it to take a photo of Dylan? "

"What does this have to do with you?" Ashley smiled sarcastically.

"I have nothing to do with it? Okay, I'll tell Dylan right now. See how he'll deal with it! "

"Humph!" Ashley sneered, "Do I fear that you will tell him? What can't you do? You cheated on my sister and asked me to give up all my marital property. But now, you're just trying to make me lose my job. You did a better job than you did before! Why should I be afraid? "

Her sharp words angered Francis. "You betrayed me first. You can't blame me!"

"I betrayed you first?" Ashley giggled, "I don't even know how I betrayed you."

"You are still trying to justify yourself!" Then he dragged her into an empty box and said, "Let's figure out who is to blame."

Ashley's strength was no match for his, so she was pulled back and stumbled. Being pressed against a wall, she couldn't move in the dark room and yelled, "Francis, I've betrayed you. But for ten months you have been cold to me and I've been pregnant for ten months at that time! Can't you be more despicable? You chose to divorce me on the day when I gave birth, and you let Sheila irritated me when I was weak after delivery. Don't you feel ashamed for that? "

These things had never openly told to anyone. They didn't expect that they would confront each other on such an occasion.

Ashley had thought that the wounds he had brought were almost healed and wouldn't hurt any more, but when they were picked up again now, she found that they were still bleeding. The pain was the same, and she still felt regretful about her mother's death.

"Despicable? Shameless? You and I never slept in the same room. Do you know how I feel when I face the pregnant you? I dare not make it clear to you. I'm afraid that it will be over if I do so. Therefore, I pretend that I know nothing, but how can I not know anything! "

"What's the point of talking about it now, Francis? There's no point in arguing about it between us..." In the end, she felt powerless and said, "Let's stop here..."

"Is he nice to you?" he asked after a long silence

"Who?" Ashley was confused.

"You know the answer. That man on our wedding night," he continued with an unkind tone.

It was hard for her to spit it out as she didn't know who it was, but how should she speak it out, it was more embarrassed than betrayal.

"He is fine." It meant that Ashley admitted that she had an affair before they got married. But what else could she do? She had already divorced, so she didn't care about it at all.

"Then you..." Why did you marry me? But he must feel sad thinking about the truth, Francis changed another saying and asked, "Have you.. Have you ever really loved me? "
