“You are crazy!” I shouted. I didn’t want to listen to anything he said because he was too loathsome. Every word out of his mouth was like a thorn pricking me. “I want to get off right now, and this baby has nothing to do with you!”
He smiled faintly with warmth in his gaze. “Tell Ashton that I will take care of both you and the baby for him.”
“You are a psycho!” This man was really out of his mind.
He finally unlocked the door. I swiftly got off the car, not wanting to stay there for even a second longer.
I walked in the opposite direction and called Ashton. Ashton had picked up the call immediately after it was connected. “Ashton!”
He said, “I’m behind you.”
I reflexively turned my head and saw a black Bentley following me. I then realized that it was Ashton’s car.
He continued coldly, “It’s cold outside. Let’s talk after you get in.”
Based on my years of experience with Ashton, I knew he was in a bad mood. I hung up the phone and got in the car. The interior of the car was warm, but the atmosphere was chilly.
After I buckled in, I let out a breath and said to Ashton, “When did you get here?”
He glanced at me with rage burning in his eyes. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
I was taken aback by his question. “What?” I didn’t understand what he meant. As soon as the word was out of my mouth, his anger spiked.
He interrogated with a dark look, “Are you going to keep pretending? Don’t you know the kind of person Armond is? How could you not know the reason he’s looking for you? Scarlett, I thought we are completely honest with each other. Why didn’t you tell me about Armond?”
It seemed that he saw me got off Armond’s car, but wasn’t it too coincidental for him to appear right as I was getting off Armond’s car in a city so big? Unless…
I frowned. “When did you get here?”
