Chapter 1690 Tracking Him Down
“All right, then. I believe you.” By saying that, I could let his guard down. This way, there would be more chances for me to find out the truth.
As it turned out, I was right.
After the fireworks performance around midnight, I accompanied the children to set up more fireworks. Ashton, however, was secretly phoning someone.
He thought he had fooled me, but he did not know that Mrs. Eriksen supported my plan of preventing an affair. Since she was well-acquainted with everyone in the household, Ashton’s every single action would not be overlooked by me.
Confirming that Ashton was hiding something from me, I purposely made an excuse that I would set things right with Summer. In reality, I hailed a taxi and waited for Ashton near our house.
The chauffeur was a middle-aged man that seemed honest and good at his job. Unexpectedly, he was quite a chatterbox.
“Miss, are you waiting for someone? How about you call and remind them? Since you’re being so anxious, perhaps your husband is having an affair?”
Finding it funny, I decided to laugh and admit to it. “That’s right. We had a pair of twins, but he got sick of me after they grew up. Now, he’s out to look for another woman…” While talking, I pretended to bury my face in sorrow. However, I did not avert my gaze from the same spot as before, fearing I would miss my target.
“What a pity! However, you shouldn’t be too sad about it. Men are all the same. You still need to endure it for your kids’ sake…” Halfway through his sentence, he passed me a tissue box. “Here. Wipe your tears away. You do have it rough.”
Right at that moment, Ashton’s car suddenly passed by us at lightning speed.
“That’s him. Quickly follow him!
The chauffeur was taken aback and dropped the tissue box on the floor. “Are you kidding me? That’s a race car you’re talking about!”
Well, I did seem to be pushing it. “Don’t worry. Just try your best. I won’t blame you if you can’t manage to catch up with him.”
“Okay. Sit tight!” The chauffeur immediately turned around and switched gears, and the car speeded off.
I was hurled back onto the passenger seat by the strong impact. If I did not react quickly enough, I would have lost my balance and fallen.
