“Hmm?”
“Please leave my house right away.” Emery was right. I did not need to be so careful after taking control of the situation. “I don’t want to see you anymore, and I need to rest. If you stay, you’ll only make me hate you more. It’ll affect me from doing my best.”
Nathaniel shrugged. “That’s reasonable.”
With that said, he stood up and went out.
“Wait!” I stopped him before my eyes drifted toward the scarf on the couch. “Your scarf.”
Nathaniel turned around to look at it. The first look that flashed past his eyes was a nonchalant one, but a beat later, he took the scarf and swiftly made himself scarce.
I kept staring at the door until I heard the sounds of a car starting up downstairs. After making sure that he was gone, my heartbeat slowed down a little, and I let out a deep sigh of relief. In the next second, I fell back onto the couch and stared at the ceiling.
Even now, I could not believe that I had just ordered Nathaniel.
Patting my chest to calm myself further, I then recomposed myself to scan my surroundings. Only when I saw the stamp on the table did I recall that Nathaniel had mentioned Ashton earlier.
Almost immediately, I jerked upright and grabbed the stamp. Then, I studied it and realized it was the real thing.
Nathaniel said that the email was already sent to me…
With that thought in mind, I hastily turned on the computer.
Upon logging into my email, I saw the signed digitalized copy of Ashton’s divorce agreement, as well as the transfer agreement of all his assets.
Like Nathaniel had said, Ashton was going to leave without taking a single cent.
What is Ashton planning to do? Has he struck a deal with Nathaniel? No, I can’t feel at ease at all. I have to find out more.
Just as I keyed in the number, I realized that it was too risky to make a call. Thus, I decided to test the waters with a WhatsApp message.
