I flashed him a smile as an idea popped into my head.
I uncrossed my arm and yelled, “Ashton! I see you’ve finally shown your true colors after being married to me for a few years!”
He looked disgusted by the idea of him being my husband. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Nonsense? You can ask anyone here if we’re husband and wife!” I pointed angrily at Joseph and the maids who were now gathered at the door.
Ashton immediately looked over and saw Joseph nodding. Doubt finally appeared on his face, and he pondered for a while. “Did I really marry you?”
“Of course. We even have two kids.” I pulled over one of the chairs that were not kicked by him and sat down. Then, I crossed my legs and pretended to be nice. “Even though the Fuller family is far less wealthy than my family, I still accepted you because I was touched by your sincerity when you were pursuing me. You’ve even promised me that you would treat me well and listen to my every word. Are you going to go back on your word?”
I paused for a while and continued in a serious tone, “These two years, my family has helped you to become successful. I guess we’ve spoiled you, and now you have another woman. Don’t you?”
The gentleman side of him immediately surfaced. He turned his face away angrily and snapped, “Only animals can’t control what’s below the belt. And I’m not an animal!”
He was rather serious as if he would die if he really had a mistress, reminding me of a chaste woman from the old generation.
Suppressing my smile, I cleared my throat and regained my composure. “If that’s so, Hubby, I want to eat pasta now. Previously, you’ll always cook for me every day. Go and make me some now. I’m hungry.”
Ashton seemed doubtful and stared at me for a few seconds before nodding and walked out of the room.
Watching Ashton walk past him and go downstairs, Joseph was stunned. When I saw that he wanted to say something to Ashton, I cleared my throat loudly to remind him not to tell Ashton the truth.
