Exclusive Memory novel Chapter 69

The water on the eaves of the house was dripping into a small puddle in front of the door, and it flowed quietly towards the door along with the other puddles in the yard.

After dinner and cleaning up, it was almost ten o'clock in the midnight. Although she got up very late in the morning, she was a little tired after going out for a long time. Wiping the water on her hands, she said, "it's very late. I'm going to have a rest."

"Give me your phone."

"Why do you want my cell phone?" Ashley asked as she handed the phone to him.

Jasper took over the phone, "I'll keep it for you temporarily. There are something you'd better not see."

This man was so overbearing that he made the decision for her without any consulting process. Although she knew it was for her good, he was actually too domineering.

"I'm afraid that if someone comes to me, it will be very inconvenient to put my phone in your place."

"I'll tell you if anyone wants to see you."

"But..."

"Isn't your phone locked in the screen? I won't peep at your privacy."

"Then you..."

"I don't think it's troublesome."

Ashley finally got speechless.

Satisfied with her obedient look, Jasper smiled and said, "go to bed now. It's getting late."

"Well Mr. Jasper, good night. "

"Good night."

After returning to her room, Ashley had nothing to do. She always wanted to play with her phone, but she couldn't do that at the moment because her phone was kept by Jasper.

The windows of both sides were open. The moist and cool breeze coming from outside was more comfortable than air conditioner in the city. Ashley lay on the bed with a mosquito wrapped bed, with a faint smell of mosquito-repellent incense at the tip of her nose. Water dripped outside. After thinking about it for a while, she tossed and turned over several times and finally fell asleep in this atmosphere.

She was awakened by the singing of a rooster in the morning. When she opened her eyes, the sky was getting bright. She looked sideways and found that the mosquito repellent tray only left a circle of grey and white ashes.

After waking up in the bandage, she got up, folded up the quilt, changed clean clothes, and tied up her hair. Then she opened the door and went out.

The middle-aged man was washing vegetables in the courtyard. When he saw her open the door, he turned around and smiled, "Miss Ashley, you woke up."

"Good morning! Do you know what time is it now?"

"After six o'clock,"

It was just past six o'clock. "Have Jasper gotten up?" she asked.

"Yes. Bruce led Jasper and Nelson outside for a walk in the mountain. Ashley, would you like to go out and have a look? It's raining now and the air in the mountain is fresh. You might meet them on the road."

"No, I'm afraid of losing my way. Let me help you with cooking."

"No, thanks. How can I let guest to help me."

After freshening up, she was still driven out by the middle-aged man enthusiastically, saying that the scenery outside must be good. In fact, she was not afraid of getting lost. She was just afraid of being pointed at by strangers. Since there was no one with her, she was always reluctant to see strangers.

It was already midnight when they arrived. The surroundings were so dark that she could not see anything clearly and she also had no idea about the surrounding scenery.

With her head down, she walked out of the door. It was not until she heard no sound from outside that she raised her head quietly. However, when she raised her head, she was shocked to see a vast expanse of green wilderness! A horse was strolling leisurely on the grass, and two dogs were chasing back and forth. Ashley was shocked and speechless. She turned back and saw that behind the house, many lush trees grew taller and taller. She finally realized that the house was built at the foot of the mountain.

The fog in the morning was as thick as a gauze, floating slowly in front of the house. There was no other people around, and it was like a paradise.

Bruce was really good at picking spots.

With this in mind, she strolled forward. It had just rained, and the grass was a bit muddy, with water drops on the leaves. Not long after she walked, her shoes were wet with mud, and her trouser legs were also wet by the water drops on the grass.

Far away, she heard the boy's giggle. It was Nelson. She walked over a grass hill, turned a tree, and finally saw the three. Actually, Nelson was playing Tai Chi with Bruce. The boy was not good at it, so he followed the signs while he was laughing.

With his hands behind his back, Jasper stood on the grass, looking at the mountain in the distance. No one knew what he was thinking.

Seeing her first, Nelson called her happily as he ran over. "Slow down. Mind you don't fall." Ashley walked quickly to hold him

Ashley held his hand and walked forward. Her little chubby little hand shook off her hand after a while, then he ran back and forth toward her. She was never tired of running.

"Good morning, grandpa Bruce." She and Jasper nodded at each other and then greeted Bruce.

Bruce was in his eighties. Although he was old with grey hair, he had long whiskers and a steel robe inside.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

"I had a good sleep. It was quiet in the mountain."
