Valentin briefly told his investigation about Tyler to Lester and hung up the phone.
'The truth of the relationship between Ashley and the Pliskin family will come out soon.
'Just in case, I'd better not tell her until they get the exact results.' Valentin thought.
Valentin turned back to the bedroom and found Ashley still chatting and laughing on the phone with Miranda. 'It's been so long. Do they really have so much words to talk about?' he thought.
Valentin frowned slightly, glanced at Ashley on the bed, and turned to take a shower in the bathroom.
He took off his clothes, revealing his well-shaped abdominal muscles and waist. He looked ripped and sexy.
The water washed down his body, and the mist blurred the bathroom...
After the shower, Valentin came out in a bathrobe. His hair was not completely dried by the hairdryer and hung down on his forehead, which looked more charming.
He looked at Ashley on the bed. 'Well, still on the phone,' he thought.
Valentin squinted his eyes slightly and walked over. But Ashley was so engrossed in chatting with Miranda that she didn't notice his approach.
Valentin bent down and patted Ashley on the head with the collar of his bathrobe loosened slightly.
'What?' Ashley wondered and raised her head. The moment she raised her head, she saw Valentin's open bathrobe collar, showing his attractive muscle.
Valentin pointed to her phone.
Ashley thought he had something urgent, so she hung up hastily and then stretched out to touch his sexy collarbone. "What's wrong?"
Valentin glanced at her hand and slapped her hand away with an expressionless face.
Ashley's eyes instantly widened in disbelief.
'He didn't want me to touch him? Really?' she thought.
"Why did you slap my hand away?" Ashley looked at his restrained expression with disbelief.
"You've been chatting with Miranda for so long. But you don't have so many words chatting with me," Valentin complained in a peaceful tone.
'Why does he sound like a jealous woman?' Ashley thought.
Ashley cleared her throat and blinked in a puzzle. "Are you jealous?"
Valentin didn't hide his feelings. He stood by the bed and looked down at her. "Yes, I am."
Ashley burst out laughing and said, "It's Miranda, honey."
He still looked at her with no expression and didn't say a word.
Ashley saw his face and thought maybe he was really unhappy.
Valentin had long eyelashes. When he lowered his eyes and stood under the warm light, his eyelashes would cast a small area of shadow under his eyes.
The way he lowered his eyes would always make Ashley's heart beat fast.
She moved her hand and couldn't help but want to touch him, so she said perfunctorily, "Okay, you're jealous. What can I do to make you feel better?"
Valentin replied, "Entertain me."
Ashley blinked her eyes twice, then opened her arms and hugged him. "That's easy! I can do anything for you. Come over, let me hold you in my arms!"
*****
When Joseph came to Kingsley Villa the next day, he saw Ashley treating Valentin gently. He had never seen her like this before.
Joseph was curious. "What happened?"
Ashley poured a glass of water for Valentin and replied to Joseph, "Valentin is throwing a tantrum. I'm entertaining him."
Joseph was confused and thought, 'What? Throwing a tantrum?'
Joseph swallowed in astonishment and looked at Valentin in disbelief.
'Oh my. I never saw Valentin like this. Do people become like this in a relationship?' he thought.
Valentin glanced at him casually.
Joseph immediately shut up and thought, 'Fine. Husband-wife things. I understand.'
Joseph poured himself a glass of water. He didn't dare to let Valentin pour for him or let Ashley do it. 'Valentin may beat me if he saw it,' he thought.
Just after pouring the water, he caught a glimpse of the ring on Ashley's finger and immediately exclaimed, "Ashley, the ring!"
