Ashton looked at me for a long time before saying, “Okay. Since you want to stop here, I won’t do anything for now. I’ll let you keep this footage, in case one day you would need it.”
Then, he copied the file into a USB drive and handed it to me.
I took it and leaned on his shoulder, feeling touched. “Ashton, I feel like I always cause you trouble.”
He smiled and lifted my chin with his finger. With a solemn look on him, he said, “Don’t always deny yourself, Scarlett. You’re very outstanding. No one on earth would risk their lives to go into such a cold place for my stomach. And no one would reject those exceptional men to be with me. In fact, I should be the one to say thank you. You’re the one who makes my life whole.”
I blushed at his words. Is this his love declaration for me?
A sense of warmth swept through me that instant.
We would probably still argue with one another, get angry at each other, or quarrel because of some trivial matters, but we knew in the depths of our hearts that we belonged only to each other, and no one could separate us.
In a nutshell, the tender in A City was won by Derek, and Rachel would be fully in charge of the project. Winter came, and Ashton and I went back to K City.
Nora called me one day, saying that she and Armond had come back from overseas. Even though Armond was left unhurt, the Murphy Corporation had suffered a great loss from the previous incident. Thus, he did not have the ability to retaliate against the Fuller Corporation for the time being.
Time flew by, and it was now the end of November.
Two days after arriving in K City, I settled down and phoned Sasha’s mother. Previously, I had transferred about a million into her bank card, so she told me not to give them any more money. She also said that they had given up on the medical treatment, so they had left the hospital and brought Renee to see the outside world.
