Save Myself From Desperation by Cara Agnes novel Chapter 315

Ashley could sense his nervousness, and she was both surprised and suspicious. "Why do I feel like there's something off about you?"

Valentin calmly touched the ring box in his pocket and smiled, "Really?"

Ashley nodded and then shook her head. "You seem normal now."

As they were talking, Joseph walked in wearing a pink shirt, playfully twirling a car key with his index finger. There was a big smile on his face.

"Good morning, my dear Valentin and Ashley!"

Ashley was accustomed to his enthusiasm and turned to look at him. "Why did you come so early?"

Joseph playfully winked his left eye. "Of course, because I missed you guys."

Ashley didn't believe him. "Tell me the truth."

"Smart as always. It's because I have something to discuss with Valentin!" Joseph walked up to Valentin, flashing a bright smile. "Valentin, are you busy today? Can you do me a favor?"

"Yes and no." Valentin refused without hesitation.

Joseph immediately pretended to cry. "I haven't even said what it is yet, and you're rejecting me outright!"

But Joseph didn't mind. It wasn't an urgent matter for him. Curiously, he asked, "Valentin, what are you busy with?"

Valentin casually replied, "Taking Ashley out to play."

Joseph thought, 'Busy taking Ashley out to play??

'Great, his wife is always more important than his cousin.'

Joseph's heart, which had already been battered, was full of wounds.

Joseph tearfully looked at Ashley. "Ashley, don't you think Valentin prioritizes romance over friendship?"

Ashley sincerely shook her head. "No."

Joseph complained, "Why am I so persistent in asking this question?"

Joseph took a deep breath. Since they hurt him, he decided to join them in the compensation of fun. "Where are you guys going? Take me with you! I'm an expert in entertainment and I'll provide my services for free!"

Ashley thought for a moment. Joseph had money and time, and he was indeed knowledgeable about having fun, so she considered bringing him along.

Valentin saw through her thoughts. Before she could speak, he calmly refused. "No need."

It was clear that he wanted to have alone time with Ashley.

Ashley blinked, and a puzzled light flickered in her clear eyes. 'Where exactly is he taking me?'

Since Valentin already said no to Joseph, she wouldn't go against his wishes. She coughed lightly, looked at Joseph, and patted his head. "Good boy, I'll take you next time."

Joseph, who was rejected by both of them, stood there in a daze.

He had wanted to join them and make up for his wounded heart, but his plan ended before it even began.

However, Joseph was curious about what Valentin was planning to do with Ashley.

It seemed like it was something important.

"Well, I won't disturb you guys then. Have fun!" Joseph took out his phone with excitement. "But before I leave, let me show you something amazing!"

Ashley looked over with interest.
