I could not get my head around what Ashton just said, so I took the journal and started looking at it myself.
It took me a while for what came to my sight to register. I did not spend much time thinking about why Abe still appeared at Imperial Hotel after I saw him dead with my own eyes. It turned out that he had a twin.
“So is the person at A City’s prison Abe or Sasha’s husband?” I solicited Ashton’s opinion.
He lowered his gaze as he looked at the man in the photo. The man looked exactly like Abe, but he looked just like an ordinary lad without the uncanny gleam in his eyes. His complexion was fair and his gaze was tender as he held Sasha in his embrace.
If Sasha had not mentioned the man’s elder brother in her diary, I would have mistaken the man in the photo for Abe.
“We can only be sure after we meet the guy in A City,” Ashton said carefully as he closed the book. “You should just stay at K City tomorrow. Go back to Moore Residence. Holden will go over to K City in two days’ time. He’ll bring you around the city then. If the company needs my signature, you can just sign in my stead.”
I blinked my eyes at him blankly. “I thought we’ve already decided to go to A City together? What’s with the change of mind?”
“We can’t be sure if the corpse you saw at Moranta is Abe’s if the guy in prison is not him. He’s a wanted criminal now, so none of us can say for sure that he’s not concocting some evil plan. You need to stay in K City. At least you’ll be safe staying with the Moore family. They don’t dare to do anything to you over there. Besides, judging from the situation now, Armond is already fixed on giving up all the assets in A City, so he won’t be in A City. Chances are he’s gonna stay with the Murphys in K City. I’ll sort out everything in A City and get back real quick. You just wait for me in K City, alright?”
I calmed down and thought about his suggestion before finally nodding. “You stay safe, okay? Keep me updated.”
He nodded and pulled me into his arms with a sigh. “Everything will be okay soon.”
“Promise me something?” I asked, looking up at him.
“What is it?”
