I thought Ashton would reply immediately, but he did not.
It took him five minutes to reply: That would be great.
What’s great? Remarry?
I wondered if he really meant it or if there was a hidden meaning behind those words of his.
All of a sudden, my heart missed a beat, and I felt restless. Picking up my phone, I went to the balcony.
After waiting for a while, there was still no reply from him. Soon, I lost my patience and typed on my phone again: What do you mean?
For the whole night, I felt uneasy. Worried that I might miss his reply, I did not dare to sleep soundly.
However, there was no reply from him after that.
The next morning, I heard my phone ringing in a daze and jolted out of bed reflexively. It turned out to be my alarm. I had promised Audrey to make breakfast for her in the morning last night.
Feeling disappointed, I went to the bathroom and washed myself up.
Unexpectedly, after I sent the kids to school, Nathaniel’s car stopped in front of me.
However, it was Nora who came down from the car.
Wearing a grimace, she rushed over and slapped me in the face.
“Why are you always going against me?”
