Not long after we ended the call, Emery sent me a text message: The media back in the country found you and Ashton are staying in the same hotel. Just be careful of Thora.
Isn’t it ridiculous for a couple, who has been married for years, to become the talk of the town when they stay in the same hotel?
I replied immediately: Got it. Thanks for the heads up. You be careful too. Emery was our close friend, and I was worried for her safety as well.
The woman replied casually: Nah, I’ll be fine. I’m not alone anyway. I chuckled at that message. She must have had the time of her life yesterday.
I teased: Wow. Looks like you had a lot of fun with a special someone last night. Alexander had done all he could to get her attention. Who could resist a man like him?
Emery expressed her dismay in her next message to me, texting: Stop right there, woman. It has nothing to do with him, alright? You know what? I don’t have to explain myself to you. I’m gonna go have more fun now. Ciao!
I closed the app after reading her message and shook my head with a grin. Sadly, that short burst of happiness disappeared the moment I thought of Ashton. My expression turned grim once again.
How I wish Ashton gets the love he deserves just as much as everyone else
Unfortunately, there’s nothing he can do to change his fate. The least I can do now is to keep him company and show him that he isn’t alone.
We touched down at J City in the evening on the next day and immediately paid Charlie a visit.
Ashton’s uncle was busy sprucing up his garden when we arrived.
Ashton walked up and greeted him with a blank face.
At the sound of his voice, Charlie turned around and looked at us. He froze for a moment before asking, “Hey. Since when did you two come back?”
