Save Myself From Desperation by Cara Agnes novel Chapter 162

When Ashley introduced Valentin as her husband, the whole scene fell silent.

Joseph was surprised. He had expected Ashley to keep her relationship with Valentin a secret until she admitted it to Kevin.

Ashley finally admitted her relationship with Valentin.

Joseph was moved to tears.

He even felt the day was especially memorable for Valentin.

The information that Lester found showed Ashley and Valentin had a secret marriage. He never expected Ashley to introduce Valentin like this before her suitors.

This showed that Valentin was more important in Ashley's heart than Kevin.

But he denied his conjecture.

Lester glanced at Kevin with pity. Actually, Kevin had no place in Ashley's heart.

As for Jaden, he only thought Ashley and Valentin were perfect together and they were made for each other.

At this time, Valentin suddenly stiffened when he heard Ashley's introduction, and he only stood still blankly.

After a moment, his eyelashes trembled slowly, and he glanced at Ashley's hand holding his. Then, he raised his head and looked up at her beautiful profile.

Ashley sensed Valentin's gaze, but she didn't look back at him.

She guessed Kevin could get her means.

Kevin was instantly surprised and astonished, and the shock couldn't dissipate for a while.

Did Ashley introduce Valentin as her husband?

Had she already married?

Had she married Valentin, the president of the Kingsley Group?

Kevin couldn't accept the incredible news for a while. He was even more shocked than hearing Valentin's confession as a fan to Ashley.

No wonder Valentin purchased Ashley's bracelet just now.

But Kevin suddenly remembered something, and his lips trembled twice quickly. Then, he asked nervously, "Do you remember I called you when you were hospitalized with allergies? I heard a male voice on the phone."

At that time, he heard a male voice on the phone, and it sounded like Ashley had a close relationship with him.

Kevin now realized it was Valentin's voice.

As if to confirm his guess, Ashley nodded and said calmly, "When I was hospitalized for allergies that day, he stayed with me all the time."

Kevin felt his nerves tighten and then ease slowly.

Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Kevin said bitterly, "I didn't expect you to be married to Mr. Kingsley. I haven't congratulated you yet."

Ashley smiled lightly, "It's a secret marriage, so we haven't made it public."

Kevin's mind fell into a mess at that moment, and he didn't even know what he said. After expressing his blessings, he bid farewell, turned around, and left.

Ashley breathed a sigh of relief and thought the matter should be settled.

Seeing Kevin leave, Joseph glanced at Ashley and Valentin holding hands with a smile, and he pulled Jaden and Lester away. "Come on. Let's check it out."

Lester still wanted to stay there.

Although he didn't know if he was related to Ashley, he still wanted to spend more time with Ashley.

Moreover, he intended to find a chance to get Ashley's hair for a paternity test.

Joseph found Lester still there, so he dragged him forward. He couldn't understand why Lester stayed there all the time.

Valentin was distressed and asked meaningfully, "Are you troubled by others' pursuits?"

"Did you mention Kevin?" Ashley thought for a while and said, "Except for Kevin, it bothers me whenever someone I dislike pursues me."

Valentin lowered his head and asked back, "Really?"

Ashley glanced at him. "Sure, you've had a lot of suitors since your childhood, and you might know better than I do."

Ashley suddenly recalled what had happened on the stage and said, "Why did you say you were a fan up there?"

Valentin seemed to think about it seriously and then said, "I really shouldn't have said that."

Ashley replied, "But it's too late to take your words back."

Valentin smiled, "I should just say you are my wife."

Ashley choked on his words.

She raised her hand and wanted to hit him.

But when she raised her hand halfway, she found the others in the ballroom glancing at them with gossip.

The others didn't find it strange with Joseph, Jaden, and Lester here.

After they left, the others in the ballroom paid attention to Ashley and Valentin and gossiped about them, and they even found their relationship unusual.

Ashley immediately retracted her hand and coughed lightly. "I have to keep my distance from you now. I fear others will misunderstand our relationship. I'm off now."

Valentin was speechless.

He found Ashley's words ridiculous.

After speaking, Ashley noticed Evan and Charlie walking towards her side in a hurry before she left.
