Ashton ignored his words and turned to me. “Come with me.”
He’s so harsh and disdainful.
“Where to?”
Before I could even ask how he managed to find me, he had even made other plans for me…
Ashton handed the gift bag over to Joseph and said lightly, “Take Gregory home first.”
Joseph bowed. “Understood.”
Then, Ashton looked down at Gregory. “Go home with Mr. Campbell first. Daddy and Mommy have to go and do something. Wait for us at home, okay?”
Gregory had probably realized that Ashton had not rejected the new computer. Thus, he was acting especially well-behaved. “Okay.”
Ashton was even taller than a model. Thus, although Gregory was already almost at my waist, he looked tiny beside his father. Even though no affectionate words were exchanged, the child’s innocence and his father’s maturity worked well together to create a heartwarming scene.
However, Ashton seemed to have no interest in creating such scenes. As soon as he was done speaking, he pulled me out, leaving me no time to bid goodbye to Emery and the others.
I could only shout to Gregory as I walked off. “Greg, remember to listen to Mr. Campbell! We won’t be gone for too long. Bye-bye!”
Subconsciously, I did not want him to think that we could leave him behind at any moment.
However, Gregory did not think too much about it. He looked at me dazedly, then eventually smiled widely.
Just like that, I was dragged away by Ashton.
Once we entered the elevator, I broke free from his grasp. “Stop trying to take advantage of me. I know how to walk by myself.”
This man had made plans for me as he pleased, left our son behind, and had not even said anything affectionate when he saw me. Seriously, is there anything he thinks is worth being gentle for?
Ashton glanced at me but kept silent as he pressed the button for the parking lot.
Upset, I got in the car and asked angrily, “Can you tell me where we’re going now?”
Instead of avoiding the question, Ashton said straightforwardly, “The hospital.” After his reply, the entire drive over was silent. Soon, we arrived at the hospital.
When I got off the car, I pretended to tie my shoelace, purposely fell behind Ashton.
