Ashton continued dragging me with him. Tessa tried to chase after us, but Joseph blocked her.
I was kind of a lazy person by nature. As he half-carried me to his car, the thought of just giving in and following him began to take hold of my mind.
My thoughts petered out for a while as he settled me in his car. Soon, I started feeling uncomfortable.
I leaned heavily into the car seat and shut my eyes, falling into a hazy sleep.
The sound of my phone ringing reached my ears, and I frowned involuntarily. As I patted around weakly for my phone, I heard Ashton speaking to someone. “She’s drunk, and she is asleep.”
Groggily, I opened my eyes. I saw him talking to someone on my phone as he drove with one hand on the steering wheel, his eyes focusing on the road before him.
I made a face at him. How can you just answer someone’s phone without asking for their permission? He mumbled an acknowledgment and hung up a moment later.
He placed my phone beside me and seemed to realize that I was awake. Surprised, he asked gently, “Are you feeling very uncomfortable?”
I shook my head. I was a bit groggy, and my limbs felt like they were made of jelly, but I was still conscious.
“Where are you taking me?” Looking out the window, I could tell that we were still in A City. He doesn’t have a house in A City, so he’s probably going to a hotel.
He raised his brows and said, “If you’re uncomfortable, just close your eyes and rest for a bit.”
I pouted, just as thoughts of the early days of our marriage flooded my brain. I couldn’t help but laugh when I recalled how stubborn and dumb I’d been back then. It had gotten me into a lot of funny situations.
He frowned slightly and looked at me. “What are you laughing about?”
