Ignoring his words, I inquired, “Are you still overseas?”
Jackson and I were college friends. After we graduated, he went overseas to further his studies in psychology. As I was quite aloof, rarely contacted my friends after graduating college and marrying Ashton.
He rambled on, “Yes. Where are you? Are you still in J City? Oh yes, how are you feeling?”
I frowned, not wanting to broach the topic. “I’m fine. When are you coming back?”
“Soon.” It seemed like he was drinking something, as he paused for a while before continuing. “You should come to M Country when you’re free. Macy has told me about your condition. I think you might have depression. The symptoms are the same as before. Come to M Country, and let’s catch up.”
Sensing an oncoming headache, I rubbed my temples and agreed, “Okay.”
“Scarlett, don’t take it lightly. You can die from this illness.”
Knowing he meant well, I nodded and muttered, “All right. I know.”
Realizing that Ashton had put down the documents in his hands, I quickly ended the call. “It’s getting late. Good night.”
“F*ck. It’s still daytime here. What the hell do you mean good night?”
Instead of continuing to listen to him, I ended the call.
Ashton walked toward me, and I kept my phone before casting an indifferent gaze at him. “You’re done with your work?”
He nodded and reached out to pull me into his arms. Pressing a light kiss on my forehead, he whispered, “Do you want to go for a trip to K City?”
“K City?” I stiffened before curiously asked, “Do you have something to do at K City?”
He pulled me to the bed before placing his hand on my stomach. “I’m planning to move the headquarters of Fuller Corporation to K City.”
K City was the capital of the country. In terms of economy and lifestyle, K City was the best among all other cities. If Fuller Corporation wanted to expand and develop, K City was an excellent choice.
However, he was planning to move the headquarters, so I frowned. “I think Fuller Corporation is fine here in J City. It’s already established here for years. If you suddenly move it to K City, I’m afraid you might not be able to expand the business for a while.”
He placed his chin on my shoulder and nodded gently. “Indeed. However, Fuller Corporation has established a new company there, so it won’t be that difficult.”
I nodded quietly.
Feeling sleepy from a long while of sitting, I leaned my body on his and fell asleep.
After resting in the villa for two days, I was starting to get restless. Hence, I decided to leave the house for a walk.
