Save Myself From Desperation by Cara Agnes novel Chapter 160

Before the announcement, the host smiled and asked Ashley a question.

"Ashley, Valentin just said that he's your loyal fan. How do you feel about that?"

Ashley didn't want to discuss her feelings.

She just wanted to confront Valentin and ask him what he meant.

But in front of so many people, Ashley couldn't answer like that. She glanced at Valentin and replied, "I'm surprised and honored."

Valentin raised an eyebrow at her response. The audience understood Ashley's answer.

It would be strange if she weren't surprised.

The audience was buzzing with excitement and curiosity upon hearing Valentin declare himself as Ashley's fan, and Ashley herself was no exception.

The host asked Ashley to hand over the bracelet to Valentin and then announced with a smile, "This bracelet was won by Mr. Kingsley, who happens to be Ashley's fan. Since they are so destined, why not give each other a hug now?"

Ashley replied, "What? A hug?"

She found the suggestion quite strange.

Other celebrities didn't hug the auctioneer when handing over their items.

She glanced at Valentin standing upright with no signs of refusal.

Ashley thought, 'Well, hugging isn't a big deal.'

She turned around to face Valentin.

Before she lifted her arm, Valentin leaned in and hugged her proactively.

Ashley was slightly taken aback. Valentin's refreshing and pleasant scent surrounded her. In such a noisy environment, she could hear his strong heartbeat.

Her fingertips trembled slightly, and then she hugged back.

There was enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Amidst the dazzling lights, they embraced amidst the noise.

Joseph immediately took out his phone to capture this historic moment.

While taking the picture, Joseph noticed that Ashley was wearing a navy blue gown that was classy and understated. Valentin's tie happened to be in the same color family.

Valentin must have deliberately chosen a tie in a similar shade.

Joseph was amazed once again by Valentin's thoughtfulness.

Valentin had just publicly declared his admiration for Ashley, claiming to be her loyal fan. He must have been annoyed by Kevin's relentless bidding.

Valentin was jealous and decided to express his affection for Ashley so openly.

Joseph rubbed his chin, curious about how Kevin would feel seeing Ashley and Valentin embrace.

Many people were still looking at Ashley when she returned to her seat.

It was Valentin's first time embracing a female in public. It seemed that Valentin really admired and respected Ashley.

As Ashley sat back down in her seat, Joseph exclaimed excitedly, "Wow!"

Jaden glanced at Valentin, sitting in the front row, and joined in. "Wow!"
