Exclusive Memory novel Chapter 26

Looking at Ethan with a large cattail hassock fan on her hand, Ashley said, "no wonder that man treated me in an unfriendly way. It seems that my sister has spoken a lot of bad things of me to him."

"It's not just that. We have heard a lot. But it doesn't matter. These young men and ladies are smart. They won't be tempted so easily." June comforted Ashley, "take a seat, Ashley. I'll go get two cushions. There are too many mosquitoes next to the water."

"All right."

As soon as June left, Sheila and Francis appeared at the bridge. Francis was in a smoky shirt and black casual pants today, looking a little lazy. In Francis's arms, Sheila wore a knee length white dress with orange tiny flowers, looking young, pretty and charming. They looked like a perfect match.

Remembering that Dylan said she was playing hard to get, Ashley stared at Francis directly and turned away without saying anything when Francis looked at her.

Being glanced at from the other side made Francis feel uncomfortable, and Sheila, who also saw Ashley, pulled Francis not to look at Ashley jealously.

Ethan was waving a cattail leaf fan to drive mosquitoes off in the bridge. Seeing that Sheila was coming over with Francis on her arm, Ethan was about to say something. Sheila pretended not to see him and turned around to say hello to others.

Standing there, Ethan froze and felt a little embarrassed. His friends giggled and pulled him back. "Ethan, there are so many mosquitoes here. Help me fan it, too."

Watching this, Ashley felt funny with her chin on her hand.

After a while, June came back with two cattail hassock fan. They ate, chatted, and then went to see the meadow flowers in the yard. The sea of flowers was so beautiful that they had buried themselves in it for a long time before they met William halfway. Since William said that he had something to talk with June, they went somewhere else to have a talk. As for Ashley, she had no other choice but to walk into the depths of the sea of flowers by herself.

Ashley always had a good sense of direction, and she was not afraid of getting lost.

Ashley walked through several arched doors. There was a sea of flowers. As expected, Acacia Garden lived up to the name. When she was about to leave, suddenly she heard someone arguing not far away. Ashley walked carefully to the direction of the voice and saw that Sheila was arguing with Ethan. She hid herself behind the rockery and heard Sheila said in a low voice:

"Don't bother me anymore. It's already over between us!"

"But why? What makes you think that I am not as good as Francis? I'm from a rich family, and I'm also a good looking man. We've been together for so many years. Why did you break up with me? " Asked Ethan with a painful look on his face.

"The reason? I've told you earlier that I don't love you, and that means I don't love you. There's no reason at all!" Sheila didn't want to say anything more. She turned around and was about to leave when she was pulled back by Ethan, "I don't believe you. Why don't you love me anymore? Did I do something wrong? "

"Why is it still the question? I'm leaving. Francis can't find me that he should be worried."

"No, I won't let you go. You are mine. I won't let you marry Francis!" With these words, Ethan pressed Sheila against a tree and kissed her.

Seeing this, a bold idea came into Ashley's mind. What would happen if Sheila had been pregnant with Ethan's child?

At first, Ashley was shocked by the thought, but then she was relieved. She just paid Sheila back in Sheila's own coin. She just wanted to pay back the pain that Sheila had caused on her.

Sheila struggled desperately to free herself from Ethan's control. When she got rid of him she dared not to stay any longer and ran away.

Ethan was still standing in the same place, staring at the figure of Sheila's receding figure. After a long time, he left.

After he went far away, Ashley slowly came out from the rockery and found a clean stone, sitting down to have a rest. She was afraid of being found behind the rockery, so she didn't dare to move, and her legs were numb.

Not long after she sat down, a voice called Sheila's name again.

"Sheila? Are you here, Sheila? "

Ashley didn't recognize Francis's voice until he was getting closer to her.

When Francis went to the bathroom just now, Sheila was not there. She didn't take her phone, so Francis had to walk while calling her. After passing through an arch, he was about to shout again when he saw Ashley sitting on a big rock under a big tree alone.

It was dusk at this time. The woman wore a long red dress, with a sea of flowers on her head. Wearing a gorgeous evening glow, she seemed to walk out of the painting. Immediately, Francis was somewhat stunned.

"I just sat down and had a rest, so I didn't see Sheila."

"Okay." After a pause, Francis continued, "perhaps she isn't here. I will go to another place."

"Are you having nothing to talk with me that you only have Sheila in your heart?" Ashley was not sure whether she was really jealous or just pretended. But the displeasure on her face and the coquetry in her voice showed that she was really jealous.

"How could that be?" Francis retorted
