I could only pretend to suffer from amnesia.
We spent some time together peacefully before fate brought me to Ashton again. It was a familiar but cruel moment, for Ashton didn’t seem to recognize me. Pain ripped through my heart when his indifferent gaze landed on me.
I could only watch, breathless with anger, as my son became a part of the Hall family.
After reuniting with Emery and Alexander, I thought things would get better, but they were also hiding something from me.
John was the only one who hadn’t changed. His jaw was unshaved, but he was still my brother who’d go against Ashton anytime to protect me.
That moment, I knew I could be Scarlett Stovall again.
However, I wasn’t sure if Ashton had been hypnotized.
If he had been hypnotized, why did he bring Gregory to provoke me and Marcus several times?
If he hadn’t been hypnotized, why did he ask me to pretend to be Scarlett Stovall?
Also, Ashton’s eyesight and the toxin in my body seemed to have faded away with time.
I was deep in thought when the sounds of footsteps jolted me out of my reverie. Turning slightly, I saw Ashton standing there. I didn’t even know he was here.
He was still wearing his apron as he stood expressionlessly beside the sink, his gaze fixated on me.
We had seen each other naked before, but I still instinctively slid in so the bubbles could cover my whole body.
After making sure I wasn’t exposed, I turned over and put on a calm front. “Don’t you know I’m taking a bath in private?”
“Mm,” came Ashton’s calm reply. “We have two kids. There’s no need to be shy.”
“Hey!” I can’t believe he’s using my words against me!
I nearly suffocated from fury.
