Save Myself From Desperation by Cara Agnes novel Chapter 217

Valentin suddenly leaned closer to Ashley. Her eyelashes quivered, and her eyes filled with tears. "I recognized it's not you in the photo, so there is no need for me to be jealous."

"And before you recognize it?" Valentin stared into her eyes and asked.

Ashley thought about it for a moment. When she first heard about Valentin's scandal with someone else, she indeed felt confused, but she didn't become suspicious of him.

"I believe you." Ashley raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder. She even nodded solemnly with sincere eyes.

She thought Valentin would be impressed by the answer.

After all, everyone wanted to be trusted.

As a result, Valentin glanced leisurely at her hand patting his shoulder, then looked at her face and said meaningfully, "But I hope you discipline me."

Ashley choked on his words.

She asked blankly all of a sudden, "What should I do?"

Valentin raised his eyebrows and said in a flirty tone that sounded like joking, but he looked very serious. "I want at least five checking calls a day."

Ashley was shocked by his words.

"Five phone calls? You've gone too far. Do I have to check you for hickeys or hair?"

"Sure," he answered without any hesitation, even looking forward to it.

Ashley couldn't utter a word to reply. Valentin suddenly leaned down, put his hands under her armpits, and picked her up face to face.

Ashley was picked up by him with a sudden startle. She subconsciously wrapped around his neck with both hands. "What are you doing?"

After speaking, she distinctly felt Valentin pull her legs apart and loop them around his waist.

He said leisurely, "Upstairs, so you can check me for hickeys."

"I won't check you. Just put me down."

She found the embrace ambiguous.

Her legs were wrapped around his waist, hanging on him like a koala.

Valentin didn't let go. He just held Ashley in his arms and walked upstairs.

At this time, Gavyn led several servants from outside into the living room to clean up. When they noticed Valentin and Ashley, they suddenly dropped their heads.

Ashley immediately felt awkward and shy. She struggled in Valentin's arms and complained in a low voice, "Put me down. Hurry up!"

Her struggle fueled Valentin even more. He suddenly stopped and raised his hand to slap her on the butt. "Don't move."

Ashley was startled and blushed all of a sudden. She suddenly felt numb, didn't dare to struggle anymore, and buried her whole face in Valentin's shoulder in embarrassment.

Valentin glanced sidelong and found Ashley shyly buried her face in his neck. Her soft long hair fell down, causing strands of itching on his neck.

He couldn't help but chuckle, "How lovable you are, Ashley!"

Ashley gritted her teeth in anger and then bit him on the shoulder.

Valentin seemed to feel no pain. He glanced at her casually and continued to carry her upstairs. "Whatever. If you want to bite me, go ahead."

Hearing this, Ashley felt unmoved but bit him again harder.

Valentin raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke slowly with a casual and indulgent tone. "You'd better bite a tooth mark that matches the one on my wrist."

Hearing this, Ashley stopped biting.

She blinked and looked up in realization.

She had just buried her face in Valentin's neck, so a few strands of hair stuck to the side of her face in a mess. She suddenly realized Valentin's intention.

"Did you deliberately keep the scar from the tooth mark I bit on your wrist when I was a child?"

She had her suspicions before, and if Valentin had applied scar cream, the toothmark couldn't have remained until now.

Valentin looked distressed and replied, "You hated me but loved Kevin so much. You even broke up with me over him. I found myself annoying and had to sneak one mark about you."

Ashley couldn't utter a word to reply.

"Watch your language."
