Save Myself From Desperation by Cara Agnes novel Chapter 316

The scene in front of her was almost identical to the painting she drew when she was a child.

It felt like a grand and solemn witness to her years of love with Valentin.

She wondered, 'Did Valentin buy this private island and build this magnificent and peculiar castle?'

Ashley's heart was racing, but her breath gradually dissipated in the wind. Her love for Valentin was like fragmented light on the surface of the sea, gently swaying with the water waves, never fading away.

She couldn't help but remember the day Valentin confessed to her.

He took her to Begian to see the snow and told her he liked her in a snow-covered cottage by the fireplace.

Just because she had made a childhood promise with him to enjoy the snow in Begian together when they grew up, he developed a snow village resort there.

And now, because of her whimsical idea, he had built this grand and peculiar castle on the sea.

Ashley was deeply moved, unable to hold back anymore. She hugged Valentin tightly, grabbing onto his clothes as if she were about to cry. "You shouldn't have done this..."

Valentin raised an eyebrow, pretending not to understand. "Are you blaming me?"

Ashley immediately shook her head. "Of course not!"

He smiled, caressing her soft hair, his deep voice filled with tenderness. "I want to give you everything you like."

His Ashley deserved the most beautiful things in this world.

In that instant, as his words fell, Ashley's grip on Valentin's arm tightened suddenly.

She slowly raised her head, her long eyelashes slightly moist as if tears were going to fall. She composed herself and mischievously asked, "If I wanted a divorce, would you give it to me?"

The warm atmosphere shattered in an instant.

He laughed mockingly. "Ashley, you dare to think about that?"

Ashley blinked, teasing him, "Just like you said, you'll give me whatever I like."

Valentin stared at her intently, gritting his teeth.

Suddenly, he reached up and held her cheek, sternly questioning, "You said we have to spend our third and tenth wedding anniversaries together."

"Okay! I did." Ashley answered with a smile, no longer teasing him, "I've always remembered!"

She stared at Valentin without blinking, dropping the playful act. "There's something I really want to do right now."

Valentin asked, "What is it?"

"I really, really want to kiss you right now."

Without waiting for Valentin's consent, she rose on her tiptoes and kissed his slightly cool lips.

After a long time, Ashley finally let go of Valentin. Clear stars shimmered in her bright eyes.

She suddenly realized. "I finally understand why you kept it a secret and didn't reveal where we were going yesterday. Seeing this view with my own eyes was truly surprising!

"Valentin, you're amazing!"

Valentin touched the ring box that had been in his pocket all along, not revealing his further plans. He lowered his gaze and chuckled softly, "Since I am so amazing, can Ashley like me more?"

Ashley nodded. "I'm starting to like you more and more!"

She couldn't help but like him because he was so good at creating surprises.

Because they were coming here today, Valentin had arranged for the castle to be cleaned in advance, and the servants and chefs had been waiting.

The lunch table was filled with delicious seafood, and Ashley indulged herself.

After finishing her meal, she couldn't wait and applied some sunscreen before running to the beach.

Valentin followed closely.

Ashley took off her shoes and stepped barefoot on the fine sand. The waves occasionally washed over her, and the cool and comfortable blue sea water seemed to relax her pores.

The sea breeze lifted her flowing skirt, and on her way here, Ashley had randomly picked a flower and tucked it behind her ear, then turned to ask Valentin, "Does it look good?"

Valentin raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you referring to yourself or the flower?"

Ashley replied, "Both!"

Valentin looked at her and smiled, "You are more beautiful than the flower."

After listening, Ashley reached out and pulled him towards her. She raised her head to kiss his lips and complained in a vexed tone, "Why do you always seduce me?"

After the kiss, Ashley took out her phone and took a photo of the two of them.

Valentin looked really handsome, and the picture turned out perfectly with a casual snap.

Ashley stared at the photo for a few seconds and set it as her wallpaper.

With one hand, he unbuttoned his shirt and said, "Do you want anything else to eat? I'll have the chef prepare it."

Ashley shook her head. "Not at the moment. By the way, we're going to stay here for the night and return tomorrow, right? But I feel like the scenery here is really beautiful, and it would be nice to stay here for a while."

Valentin agreed, "If you like it, we can stay here for as long as you want."

This was a private island, and he planned to transfer it to Ashley's name so she could stay for however long she liked.

"No, we still have to go back tomorrow. I have an appointment to meet Lester's parents. It will be in two days. You'll come with me, right?"

"Sure."

He had intended to accompany her.

After dinner, Ashley brushed her teeth and wandered through the castle. The lights were on, and the decoration was stylish.

Ashley wandered excitedly into the living room. By chance, she saw through the huge floor-to-ceiling window that a bright moon had risen over the sea, covering the surface with a silver shimmer, breathtakingly beautiful.

This scene shocked her.

The feeling of seeing the moon by the sea was truly different.

"Let's go out and see!" Ashley asked Valentin eagerly.

Valentin naturally agreed. He nodded and walked with her to the seaside.

The wind was gentle, the moon was radiant, and everything was incredibly beautiful.

Ashley held Valentin's hand, interlocking their fingers.

As the evening breeze brushed past their ears, Valentin's low and magnetic voice sounded in the moonlit surroundings. "Ashley, there's something I want to tell you."

Ashley was startled and turned to look at him, asking, "What is it?"

No wonder he didn't eat much during dinner, it turned out he had something to say to her.

Valentin held Ashley's hand. His already otherworldly appearance became even more stunning in the moonlight. "I'll take you somewhere first. Let's go over there."

Ashley nodded and obediently followed him. But deep down, she couldn't help but guess. 'What does he want to tell me?

'Is it something serious?

'Something that affected his appetite during dinner.'
