Shrugging, John placed the document on the table and changed the subject. “Look at this. Your man is so quick to take action that the divorce agreement has been faxed over.”
I froze for a moment, but I did not feel like looking at it.
John was surprised. “Aren’t you going to take a look?”
“What’s there to look at?” I was busy playing with Summer. “It’s nothing but some scrap paper.”
Seeing too much of something would no longer stir up any emotions.
Moreover, Ashton and I had long reached an agreement, and I had even seen the agreement with my signature on it, so the copy of it could not shake me up.
John took the agreement and flicked his fingers at it. “Anyway, putting aside the children’s custody, Ashton is quite a generous man.”
Looking at him smiling and nodding approvingly, I teased him, “You previously thought that Ashton was using me and despised him. So now your opinion of him changes just after putting on an act with him?”
Still smiling, John looked at me in amusement. “Do you think I did it for him? If he had not been willing to save you and your kids from possible danger, I would have ignored him.”
Pausing for a moment, he threw away the document and went on with an even serious look on his face, “Letty, you must know that only the Stovall family and I are truly good to you. I don’t care what you think about Ashton and the Moores couple, but I advise you against trusting them completely. They all have their own agenda, while I only have you as my sister. You’re the one closest to me, so I won’t harm you.”
Feeling touched, I was at a loss for words. Thus, I hurriedly looked away and replied, “Alright. Enough sappy talk.”
Spreading his hands, John leaned back on the sofa. “It’s up to you whether you wanna believe me. I’m honest with you and hide nothing from you anyway.”
