I refused to believe that he fulfilled my wish just to please me. He must have his own agenda.
We would get what we each wanted, so I didn’t bother saying thank you. I walked to Ashton and tried to show him how upset I was. “Let’s go home.”
Ashton’s icy gaze landed on me. Without saying a thing, he looked like he was taunting me for trying to warm a stone up.
We locked gazes, and I felt a distant feeling that I haven’t felt in forever. A kite had broken free of its string, never looking back.
Disappointment and anger took over. Suddenly, I had the urge to act in a wicked manner, just like John. As Ashton was unfazed, I whipped out my phone and made a call to John’s subordinate, a leader of the mercenaries in K City. “Bring a few men to Fuller Corporation’s biggest club now.”
After making the order, I hung up and glared at Ashton indignantly.
B*stard! I shall tie you up and force you to come home with me!
“What do you have in mind?” Finally, Ashton spoke up. HIs eyes narrowed as he tried to figure out my plan.
I was pissed off at his icy cool attitude.
Picking a fight, huh? I shall play along then!
“What do you think?” I stood on tiptoes until our cheeks nearly collided. “You’re the Stovall family’s live-in son-in-law, my husband, and my children’s father. I can do anything I like, right?”
Ashton shrunk away a little, trying to keep a distance from me, but he had no route of retreat and could only hold his head high.
The dappled sunlight landed on his face, and I could see every inch of his face clearly. His thick and long eyelashes were fluttering slowly. They were curled up like butterfly wings.
